blog 5



When I was a younger, I used to believe that the cartoons were real people who act and through the television they became funny.  I know that cartoons are draws that people do and then they make it real. I think that is something that some kids have in their mine. I also believed that there were monsters in my closet all night we called “kuko”. As I remember, when I did not want to eat or do something  my mother scared me telling me that the kuko is going to come and eat my eyes, so I did my tasks right away.
            
           I believed that when I get older I would be a super star but I am not, I am here in La Guardia community college studying nursing. I am going to be a nurse. This is my reality.

           I used to believe that my religion catholic was the only one. The people in that church showed me that the church catholic was the only one that god bring to the world.  I still not know which religion is the true, but I know there is too many kind of religion and beliefs.  I believed that eve is the first woman in the world but the teacher said that Lilith was the first one.


          When I was in High School, teachers and books said that we, humans, came through the evolution of the monkey. Now, I am not sure about my beliefs because some people and the bible say that god make us and that is the true, I do not know in what to believe.  In 2000, people believe the world was going to end, I believed that was true, and why not?  People believed in science, medicine, doctors, and other things. I suspect this is  an illusion and the world is going to end when god says so

Summary of “the allegory of the cave"

In “The allegory of the cave” by Plato, the author describes that humans can think and live whether with knowledge or not. There are people in this case prisoners enslaved in a cave since their childhood. The prisoners would be mistaken appearance for the reality. Behind the prisoners a radiant flame where people walking holding objects and they see the images reflected in the wall. The prisoners tend to believe that the shadows are real because the echoes seem to be real. One of them was exonerated from the cave. Now he sees, understands, and adapts to the real world. He came back to the cave to tell the others the true but they refused to believe him. This is a story of how hard is to accept the reality.

Revised   Diagnostic "Hype"



The passage “Hype” by Kalle Lasn, the author tells us how Advertisements are moving up and going into people’s brain. The passage gives an estimate of 12 billion display ads, 3 million radio commercials, and T.V commercials. There are no new places where to see advertisements. They are always in the same places such as the gas station, schools, buses, and billboard. Anywhere you see, those papers are post there. Therefore, advertisements are sticky with you. I agree with the author’s ideas, advertisement is a good idea but sometimes it can bother people.

As people see economy is one of the most important issues they are fighting for. Therefore, those who have their own company or even the employees have been trying to make their company increase and get better the economic problem and publicity is one of the most persuasive methods and ways.  Advertisement is a form of communication where owners publish their products but there are not new places where they can set those. As the author says these ads are everywhere you see and as an example in the gas station, schools, and billboards.

In my opinion, people should do advertisements and spend money in another way. I think that if people spend money in something creative and educational, this world would be better than it is. Advertisements are always trying to get people’s attention to make them to consume their products.  For example, when I first came to New York, two years ago, I would like to take an intensive class of English. Two months after, I was in the train A and I saw an advertisement telling me where to call to take this course. I had not taken this course if I do not see the advertisement. It was a good, for me.

All these advertisements are not only a headache for people’s mental and kid’s progress, this affects the world, as the author gives us an example: “ you drive through the countryside and the view of the wheat fields is broken at intervals by enormous billboard”, in another words, those biggest posters are damaging the society in  one way or another.

Advertisement is not only on T.V or radio. On Sunday, I was in the internet looking for a dictionary and in the web www.dictionary.com appears an ad selling a new tide pods. This announces almost took the whole page. I was wondering to myself, did I look for announces or did I look for a dictionary to help me with vocabulary words?

In conclusion, if advertisements keep dumping in the radio, T.V and display ads, the world and people are going to end very affected.  They should find other places where to put this advertisement, and I do not think that advertisements are a bad idea; they just have to know where to set those that no one can complain about it..

HYPE

The passage “Hype” tells us how Advertisements are increasing and going to people’s brain. The passage gives an estimate of 12 billion display ads, 3 million radio commercials, and T.V commercials. Advertisements is not a good idea to prolonge and extend product, in somehow. Anywhere to see those papers are there. Everyday economy is going down and I believe that if people do not expand their products and commercials they are not going to make money. As people see economy is one of the most important issues they are fighting for. Therefore, those who have their own company or even the employees have been trying to make their company increase and get better the economy problem ans publicidy is one of the methods and ways. There are more commercials in the T.V then educacional programs. I now is not good at all and I think that if people spend money in something creative and educacional this world would be better than it is. All this advertisements are not only a headache for people’s mental and kid’s progrees, this affects to the world world, as the author gives us an example: “ you drive through the countryside and the view of the wheat fields is broken at intervals by enormous billboard”, in another words, those biggests posters are damaging the society in one way or another. In conclusion, if advertisements quip dumping in the radio, T.V and display ads the world and people are going to end very affected.
