Whyareweaddictedtosoaps?

Overtheyears,therehavebeenendlessargumentsaboutthevalueofsoaps.Forsomecritics,theyarenomorethanmindlessentertainment.Othersbelievetheyaretheonlyprogrammesthattellthetruthandshowsocietyasitreallyis.Whateverthecriticssay,thefactremainsthatmillionsofpeopletuneineagerlytotheirfavoriteeveryday.Thesoapoperahassucceededincapturingtheimaginationoftheentireworld.

Whyissoapsopopular?
