Media Coverage about Wars

After reading these articles, I was suprised at media power. For all people, both of the wars are very impact for them. But, the impact was too strong and much imformation. So, we were confused with teh true imformation. I myself heard the news about Iraq. In Japan, there were a lot of imformation about Iraq war. Iraq war was so-called the Digital Media War.

I think the military soldiers were naturally dangerous and the journalists were also dangerous. So, journalists wanted to inform about the real things to all people. My opininon is that Japanese people often hates fake information especially me. So, I want them to broudcast true information.

In this period, I think Media Power is more strongest weapon than chemical weapon. In the future, the Media Power will move this period. Probably it may move very slowly but steadily.

Wag The Dog

This movie was interesting for me after reading this article. This story is a satire movie about President. To distract the press from the Firefly Girl scandal, Conrad Brean (Robert De Niro) (a spin doctor) came up with an unbelievable idea. It was about making the fake war.

Nowaday, every people in the world live with TV. Probably, we can't live without TV or a lot of information. In my case, since I was born, I have been watching TV and gathering much information from TV. But, I don't know whether this information is true or fake. Sometimes I was fooled by fake information. I think now every people are controled by a plenty of imformation.

"If the tail was smarter, the tail would wag the dog"

Manipulation Tactics

After reading this article, I think many Media companies has a lot of maniplation tactics. So, I am not bored to watch the TV. In Japan, I always watched the many TV programs. For example, news, music, comedy, animation, and movie. These things are important for me. Because these gave me as much imformaton as studying by myself. So, for me, TV is most important and convenient.

 Probably, if I have never watched TV, I'm not smart and studying English a lot now. it thanked TV that I was interested in studying English and traveling around the world. I'm a worm of TV. And in the future, I will watch TV program forever.

The sequel will make us Cry

 

I am terribly sorry about Lance Loud passing away.

 

Lance was the first openly gay person on television. Viewers were both horrified and transfixed by him. In my opinion, some people have a little different thoughts. We have to allow them about homosexual love and lesbian love because all people have a right of free.

 

Lance Loud was died of a hepatitis C and HIV coinfection. We must respect him. And I myself am interested in Cinema Verite. So, I am looking forward to watching where left off last time.  

 

 



The Hotel Chelsea

Befor reading this article, I didn't know this hotel. I didn't know name of hotel at all.

But I finished this article and I was impressed by the history of the Chelsea.

Many many famous artists, writers, musicians, and actors. For example, Mark Twain"The Adventure of Tom Sawyer", Arthur C. Clarke"2001: A Space Odyssey", Bob Dylan"Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands". For artists, the Chelsea is the best sanctuary in New York. New York Times said, "the Celsea is the art-filled Tower of Babel for both creativity and debauchery". 

After reading this article, I wanted to stay at this hotel. But the Chelsea was closed in 2011 because a real estate developer Joseph Chetrit bought for US$80 million dollars. So I couldn't stay there. However, I'm going to go to New York next month, November 3rd. Then I want to go there and take a picture of this hotel.

The Load Family

 

 

After reading these articles, I though about importance of family relationship. Nowadays, most of people belong to "family". But, few people may belong to this group because of divorce of parents, death of parents, and so on. In this article, Pat Lord and William C. "Bill" were married and had five children. But, they were separated in order that Pat Lord had a "American Dream".

 

In the view point of Bill, he might think "Why do we have to divorce?". So, indeed, he said "when I left the family, I was never so relieved in all my life". I agree with what he said. In my case, I'll separate from my family just 4 months. So, I miss my father, mother, sister, and my pets.

 

In the view point of their children, they might be severe about "divorce". They wanted to separate from their husband/wife. I myself don't want to divorce my wife. One of the them "Kevin" said, "Life is a collection of experiences, and the more you have, the richer you are." These words attack my heart. I agree with his opinion strongly. Guys!! Let's enjoy own life!

Reality TV shows

          I haven't watched American TV show. I only watched American movies. So, I don't know about American reality TV shows, but,after reading these articles, I wanted to watch reality TV shows. Actually, I like watching TV. And, I watch all types of TV programmes. For example, dramas, movies, comedy, and cartoon. I think reality TV shows are boring for some peole, but for other people act as a stimulus.

          Next, before reading these articles, I didn't know about American family at all. But, after that, I knew them a little. Next time, I want to watch many American TV programmes. And, I want to study about America a lot.

Comment of An American Family

      After reading these articles, I thought An American Family was good inspiration for us. For example, this TV show is documentary of real American family lives. So, this Tv opened up the issues a family has and problem of gender, sexuality, and relationship for different generations.Actually, many of American family and Japanese family may have some common points. 

      

       Then, I think if your family has a big problem now, I recommend you to watch this TV show. and based on this TV, I wish your family will resolve the problem. Do you have a problem between you and your family members???
