Hi there,
I read this sentence in the text book, it says
" TV is defining presence in modern society."
This means like " characteristic existence" ?

To compare the two phrases you might say that TV is a defining presence in that it shapes the way we live, whereas a characteristic existence may be seen as how certain people live as a result of watching TV.

Hello Tom,
Thank you for your explanation !
I think I could understand what you meant.
("what you've meant "?? confusing !)

That's a difficult phrase to describe. It means that television is everywhere, present everywhere, in every home. It defines what people know and what they don't know.
Does that make sense?
Tom.
