Imagine being at a movie theater. You are watching a movie you* ve been waiting months to see. All of a sudden,a man's cell phone rings. Not only does the man answer it,he keeps talking on the phone for a long time. Situations like this lead many people to support cell blocking vlocking equipment(屏蔽设备) .While this is quite understandable,it's much fairer and safer to ailow people to use their cell phones in movie theaters.

    Using cell phones in movie theaters is a matter of culture. If you look around a theater,most people there are not using phones and are enjoying the film they paid to see. The few bad apples are those that are rude in almost all situations. The ones that shout at waiters and cut in line. Putting in the blocking equipment would punish everyone,not just the impolite,but the well-mannered people as well.

     Many theaters already have punishments in place for people who use their cell phones in a troublesome way while in movies. At theaters I have been to,they periodically have workers come in and see if there are rude phone users. If they notice anyone breaking theater rules,they have the power to remove people from the area. That's enough to prevent most movie goers from using cell phones in an unacceptable way.

     Another argument against putting in cell phone blocking equipment is emergency situations. There are times when people might be getting a message that requires them to leave the theater. Some of these might be car accidents,births,deaths,or someone getting locked out etc. All of these are situations that would just require someone to immediately leave the theater.

     Putting in cell phone blocking equipment would be unfair to those who know how to use their phones politely. The answer to this problem is to make sure rules are followed,not to prevent everyone in the theater from using their cell phones.
