A Celebrity

Favorite Childhood Celebrity

     My favorite childhood celebrity was Macaulay Carson Culkin. He played the role as Kevin McAllister in "Home Alone."  I loved this character, because he was around my age when I watched it. Also, he was able to do amazing things. For example, he could manage to beat strong enemies by himself with a good plan. Therefore, he taught me that through planning beforehand it’s possible to achieve amazing results.

     I will always remember him by the role he played in this movie. He played the role so well I thought it was real. Anyway, I hope it still teach other kids about the good values that are present in it. I know it teach how to be bad in some way, but after all the movies ends with a good theme that teaches good values. For example, Home Alone 2 taught me the meaning of friendship with the pigeon lady when he gave her a little present that meant so much for them.

     

Media

  TV as a Factor of Violence

     According to bussinessdictionary media are “communication channels through which news, entertainment, education, data, or promotional messages are disseminated. Media includes every broadcasting and narrow-casting medium such as newspapers, magazines, TV, radio, billboards, direct mail, telephone, fax, and internet. Media is the plural of medium and can take a plural or singular verb, depending on the sense intended.” In other words, it’s everywhere. We depend on it so much that we can say its part of our culture. Therefore, it has a big influence on us, which can possible numb a person's view of violence.

     Violence according to merriamwebster, "the use of physical force to harm someone, to damage property, etc." In other words, media can influence us to point that we see this physical force to harm other as something more normal than it should be.  For example, a person watched a lot of violence through the TV and in it saw a person that punched someone, because that person calls him/her names once. In consequence, this person might think violence use like that it’s enough reason to use it. Also, it can influence us in our vocabulary with swear words. Consequently, using such vocabulary will be normal, because it seems so often through the TV. In conclusion, TV can be a factor, but probably not the main cause of violence we see in our world.

Marriage

Sudden Marriage Leads to Divorce

     Marriage according to merriam-webster, "the relationship that exists between a husband and a wife" and divorce, "the ending of a marriage by a legal process." This means, marriage must exist to be able to commit divorce. Many of the marriages end in failure. For example, in the United States according to the American Psychological Association about 40 to 50 percent of married couples ends in divorce. In other words, only 50% to 60% of the married couples have a happy relationship, does not believe in divorce or any other reason to not do it.

     Why so many marriages end in divorce? I believe ignorance is the main cause. In other words, marry an impressive actor or actress and not the one behind playing that role. Helen Rowland said, “When two people decide to get a divorce, it isn't a sign that they "don't understand" one another, but a sign that they have, at last, begun to.” Therefore, is not right to think about marriage without the knowledge of who that person really is. It’s a big decision and like any other it will mark our lives in either path we choose.

Religion

     The Base of Religions
                                                              

     Religion according to Merriam-Webster,"an organized system of beliefs, ceremonies, and rules used to worship a god or a group of gods." In other words, it’s a good structured actions or thoughts that are based in beliefs.  This is a "feeling of being sure that someone or something exists or that something is true'', according to Merriam-Webster. Which means it all depends on the follower’s feeling if it’s real or not whatever it state any religion. Therefore, faith is all we need to have to be in a religion.

     I found a quote from biblegodquotes.com that said, “If God didn't forgive sinners heaven would be empty.’’ Therefore, everyone have sin once on their life at some point. We are not perfect and our souls depend on God’s forgiveness. I really don’t like to talk about religions, because it’s not something I want to show around. Also, it might disrespect someone’s believes. So going to end by saying that we can believe or have faith in anything to save our souls, but we can’t forget our good values as we do that.
