Example 1 — a first encounter with Television in the United Arab Emirates

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Television in the United Arab Emirates claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true.

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Television in the United Arab Emirates before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.
