The Effects of Media Violence, Social Networking sites, and Teenage Pregnancy





















We already know that media
violence is a distractive behavior shown or verbalized in the media, also is a violent implicationts or actions depicted through the media, for example news print , television, or the internet. I might choose this topic because many people like to watch different kinds of violence transmitted through different media. An example of this would be children watching violence in video games.This violence might affect them. I would be focusing on the effects of wathing violence in video game. Over the years it has become common to watch violence. whenever you access the media, whether through television, newsprint,video games or the internet, it is very easy to find violence. I think it is possible that some kids might end up doing something violent because of media violence .
Networking sites have become very common today. Today, people communicate easily by the internet using different sites such as facebook, yahoo, my space and hi five. I am thinking about choosing this topic because without spending any money I communicate on face book with my old friends who live in Rwanda . I think face book is the best communication that people use today. I can even see my friends's pictures and video on facebook . Before, my friends used to spend money by sending me their pictures on the mail.But now is easier and faster.
Teenage Pregnancy is a huge problem that a goverment should prevent. I am thinking about choosing this topic because it has become common for teenagers to get pregnants , especially in this country. More than fifty percent of teenagers are pregnant in this country.I think the increase of population without planning such as teenage pregnancy can cause problem in the economy in the country.

"Trash Talk"

















Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of "trash talk."The topics on his show are as bad as they can be. For example, the show takes the ever common talk show about sex, adultery, cheating, guilt, hate and conflct about morality to different levels. In a vintage Springer show,when people on the show find boys who cheated on their girl friends,they are ready to confess their girl friend.The jerry Springer show is a display and exploitation of society's moral catastrophe, yet people are willing to eat up the intriguing predicaments of other people's lives.

You can even see that people who are in this show are not serious at all.They make noises, sometime they even fight without any reason .You can see on the picture above that a women was ready to fight. For example if I compare Oprah show and Jerry Springer show, it shows that not many talk show are interested in taking time to teach children right from wrong or giving a techniques to get a long with people better but it seems that for the Oprah show,the top prority is to educate first and then entertain.But for Jerry Springer show,is not like that. They just want to make money and talk about other people.

The warrant that leads to this decision is that if Jerry Springer continues talking about cheating, guilt, hate, sex and more stupid talk on her show, people will not be educated at all. Especially, for children. Jerry Springer show is a show that a child can not watch.

SOMETIMES IN APRIL












This movie, it is a drama movie which is totally true. It is about civil war against two ethnic tribes Hutu and Tutsi, these are the main tribes found in Rwanda. Why they called this movie sometimes in April?
They called this movie sometimes in April because the genocide started April to July, which reached 100 days.

When the Hutu nationalists raised arms against their Tutsi countrymen in the African nation of Rwanda in April of 1994, the violent uprising marked the beginning of one of the darkest times in African history. Over the course of the next 100 days, brothers would turn against brothers, tearing families apart and resulting in the death of almost 800,000 people. Based on actual events that occurred during the uprising, affecting war drama tells the tale of two such brothers, whose differing loyalties found them on opposing sides of the conflict. This movie, is similar to Hotel Rwanda.

When UN went to Rwanda including French People , they took only their people. People where trying to get in the truck but French armies did not let any Rwandese to get in the truck.They were pushing people as you can see it in the picture above . They did not even try to stop what was happening there.The most amazing thing, it is that when I watched this movie I felt so apset, especially where they were killing students on the campuses. What happened is that, killers went into classroom and shooted every student.
You can see in the pictures above that two little girls were koshed because they were trying to kill them. Finally, they found them, and killed them, it was very sad.

When I saw this movie I was very scared, sad, cried and felt very bad to see people dying without any reason.This is a really true story, if you want to know the history about Rwanda, or to understand more what happened, you should watch this movie.It is very interesting movie.
