Media Assignment #1

I believe that media is very important in my life because if we didn't have media then we wouldn't have any information about things that happen around the world. When natural disasters hit some people would have any idea it happened if there wasn't any radio, computer, or t.v.

The three types of media that is important to me are t.v, music, and books. They are the three I enjoy the most because after a long day I can sit down and relax and either watch, listen, or be entertained by a good story.

I think modern culture is interesting because you never really know if it can be true or not. I love the technology that they have come with today. They are great ways to communicate fast and are not very hard to use. I do not like how some elements of popular culture are used to exploit people's lives or they overexpose something, for example Tiger Woods. The many events in his life that should have been private have been leaked into the media. I use media for many things like communicating with family and friends, catching up on the news, or research for school..

For question four I chose the last point. Movies are one of my favorites because they make you think 'Oh, what if this ever happened to me?' or 'What would I do in his/her situation?' My favorite genre of all his horror Scary movies give you that little kick of adrenaline and you feel like your there with the actors. One of my favorite horror movies would be Halloween (1978). It may be corny now but when I first saw that movie I was only seven and it scared me to death and I loved it. I loved the fact of being scared. 

Another type of media that is important to me is music. I couldn't get through the day without it. It doesn't even have to be a certain type, I love it all. If I had to choose one album it would be Jack Johnson's Between Dreams album. It is a really amazing album because it relaxes you so fast. Books would be my last one that i would care about the most. its hard to describe my favorite type of book because I like many. My favorite book though would have to be Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. To many people it would seem like a boring book but I like the storyline and the twists in the story.  Now a days I think people have a love hate relationship because you never really expect what they will come up with.
