ESSAY

Each one of us has had good and bad moments in our lives that make us feel happy or sad. During my life I have had many happy days and some sad days and these have helped me to see this world in a different way and to learn new things each day, for example that life is not always a bed of roses because there will be excellent and awful things in my way. Because of that I have been getting the necessary experience to face any problem that arises to my life. In the following paragraphs I will share my happiest and saddest day since I consider both marked the way I live.

Firstly, I will talk about my happiest day since I think that I just like to remember those days. It was on June 22th 2009 when my husband and I decided to live together and we travel to Guanajuato. Two days before we were on Leon Guanajuato, but I liked the most the last day when we knew the city. In the morning we took a guided tour bus which gave us a journey around the place; we visited “La Casa del Tio Chueco”, Museums, “Hacienda de la Inquisición”, among others. At the end of the day, we walked down on some streets of the city while we talked about future plans, we bought ice cream and after that we arrived to the “Callejón del Beso”. Someone told us the legend about the young couple that was in loved and died when they were kissing each other and the person asked my husband if we wanted to kiss in the third step of the stair and he could take a picture to remember that moment. We decided to have a memory of that and we have the picture and I love to see it because many memories come to my mind. That was my happiest day since I did not think about problems and I enjoyed each minute laughing, playing, kissing, etcetera. Moreover, I felt excited because that was the first time I had gone there and it was beautiful.

Secondly, I will share my saddest day. It happened on December 30th 2002 when I lost three members of my family; they drowned in the “Presa Marte R. Gomez” in Tamaulipas. Two of them were my uncles and the other one was my cousin. They went to fish in the afternoon and while they were far away from the border, a tornado started and the boat sank, so they died. My family and I had to wait a day to see them and their bodies were with us the next day at 8:00 pm, in that moment I had the worst time because I ran to the coffins and I saw their faces, that was horrible I cried and screamed a lot, they could hear me, I just wanted to see them alive. It was my saddest day and the reasons are obvious; I felt depressed like if life did not have sense because even though it was seven years ago, the house is empty and my family and I miss them. The sadness lives in a part of my heart.

Those two last paragraphs described my happiest and saddest days which are very important for me. To know Guanajuato along with my husband was incredible because we had a good time and I will never forget it. Bad moments are also difficult to forget and if I remember that, I feel depressed again, that is why I try to think about the moments in which they were present and made jokes for me because I still love them and they are inside my heart. Each second of my life gives me a new experience and that makes me mature little by little; living in this world is not easy because I have had many obstacles in my way, but through the time I have learnt from them.

ESSAY

Could you imagine how much Mass Media has influenced people over the years? First of all let me give you a definition, Mass Media refers to different sources by which people communicate or get something. There are some kinds of mass media such as newspapers, magazines, television, internet, radio, books, among others, but I will focus on the first four kinds. Many people think that mass media has brought many problems for people, but they do not think about the great influence that mass media has on people.

Talking about print media such as newspapers and magazines, Brassil (2209), who is agree with people against these, could say that they are just garbage that pollute our environment. On the other hand, I think that we can reuse newspaper and magazines to do homework cutting images or letters, they are also useful to clean some things at home, to cover notebooks and in that way we will be recycling. Opponents of using print media like Lad (2008) also claim that they spend a lot of time reading unimportant articles like gossips in magazines, but that is what they say because we can magazines like National Geographic which is very good because we learn from the readings. There are magazines for women and men and magazines of fashion that are also good because people learn more about themselves, body, how to dress, and they talk about problems that people can solve by reading that articles. Newspaper and magazines are very good sources to be updated and they are not bad for people on the contrary they are helpful to learn more and more.

Nowadays television is one of the most common mass media because everybody has at least one at home. Greep (2004) who is one of the people in contrast of TV’s benefits, information and entertainment might say that it is bad because it transmits violence through the programs, but they do not think about the benefits it has like the information transmitted in programs such as People and Arts, Home and Health, National Geographic Channel, among others where people increase their knowledge. Some people like Ashkuls (2009) claim that we just waste time and in that way obesity is growing up, however it is for people who just use TV to get fun and they do not have the purpose of learning something new. Of course people can get fun, but it has to be measured to avoid the dependence of watching TV because fun is part of our lives and we need to distract our minds doing something different, but we have to balance fun and knowledge. Television is a big source that we can use for different purposes and we can have many advantages of this.

Now it is time of Internet Media which has been useful in many ways. Even though the article of the University of Phoenix (2009) says that it is a terrible source because many people communicate and give personal information that bad people use to steal others and to kidnap children, adolescents and adults, I have the idea that this media is like a big world that we can manage and we have to be intelligent to use it, so we are responsible of the way we use the internet. It is known that we can get information and entertainment and we can know many things and the ones who can have problems are children that do not distinguish between good or bad, so parents has to be checking them to control every movement they do in the computer. The same article of the University of Phoenix (2009) declares that this media provides awful information such as pornography and it changes the mind of the people who watch those things and many of them turn into rapists. It is something that really exists, but we know that if internet media disappear, the world does not change and we know that rapists exist since many years ago. The internet offers many services and pornography is one of them, but what we have to do is avoid this kind of webpage and enjoy the ones that are very beneficial.

Mass Media has chanced our world in many ways and there are some people that think that it is not good because it means problems for them. Different kinds of mass media help people to increase knowledge, to get fun and information and some of them are newspapers, magazines, television, internet and others. They are sources that update ourselves and provide services, entertainment and information. I am in pro of mass media because it is the way we will be increasing our knowledge in an easy and funny way. Mass media has influenced many people and they have learnt many things that have been helpful through the development of our world that is why you should be in pro of this.
