Have you heard about the TV program, “we are married”? It’s a kind of reality show that records celebrities’ imaginary marriages. People are having fun to watching the celebrities’ marriage that they imagined before and I’m the one of them who enjoys watching the program. However, others say that it has many problems since it became a popular program.

 First of all, people say that it can be a problem since the celebrities are easy to get divorce from their imaginary marriages. The marriage is not a real and that means they wouldn’t be serious as they do in real life. Moreover, their behaviors influence on juveniles, so that juveniles could consider marriage lightly.

 Since the program is a focus of people in public, the events that prepared for women are controversial. Women who watch the program dream about the events that happens in the program though it is not popular in real life. That’s why men hate to watch the program because most women expect the same thing to their boy friends.

 However, I enjoys the program since it makes me to dream about the same things that happen in the program including events. Nevertheless, the problem that I mentioned first could be problem if it really affects on teenagers. How do you think?   

Whenever I need some information, I think I usually search internet sites like “google,” “naver,” or “empas.” Now, I am senior so I really need a lot of information for getting a job. I always look for much information about many kinds of jobs by using internet sites. In my opinion, if I do not have my computer or I can not connect internet, it is very difficult to apply for a job position. As a result, the media is very important because the media gives us useful information. Therefore, I think the media is information bank. Especially, in the modern society, the informaion is very necessary because  I think sometimes, the information can make people live or die. For example, if I can get a information that there would be an earthquake such as in china, I can take refuge from information. Consequently, the media is information bank and very important. ^^

Some of people are easily to be a perfectionist. When I was a child, I could play some musical instruments like violin, piano and guitar. I like english words and calculating numbers. (Not quite now though)

I wanted to be the top class when in my elementary ages. After the hardship, I had to go for the martial art class “Taekwondo.” And when I was middle school student I learned “Hapkido” also kind of a martial art. When I was learning the skills, I tried hard to better than others. I had to kick higher targets than I practiced. In playing games, my efforts are all that I should raise my character and lead others. Especially shooting game like a “Sudden Attack,” I can’t stand bening killed by others. In singing, playing, studying and making, I have had to do everything perfect and better than others.

The strong concepts have been controlled me until I realized that no one can be the perfectionist. After entering the university, I realized that there are lots of students good at those. Then I decided to think only one thing that I could do the best. Perfectionist makes me and others very tired. The “wish” to myself always keeps me feel aweful.

If you are a perfectionist (you think,) you’d better change your mind.

Importing U.S. beef is very controversial these days. According to the internet news, the beef from U.S. will be spread in Korea at least in 1 week. To demonstrate against that, a lot of citizens are gathering in many places in Korea with candles. They have insisted that the government should stop this trade for the health of Korean citizens.

However, the government totally has ignored the voices of citizens and said they won’t stop this horrible trade. Also they are saying that citizens are persuaded by wrong information and they can assure the safety of U.S. beef. But what the government is saying is wrong information. There were a lot of reports that warn people dangerousness of cow which is fed meat and we all know that Mad Cow Disease was found in England before. I can’t believe that how government will make it safe this new disease which doesn’t studied enough so that doesn’t have medicine at all.

In addition, I saw one article from Chosun express which says that students who are participating in the demonstration are related with “Korean Teachers & Education Workers’ Union”. That means teachers from that union instigated students to participate the demonstration for the political purpose. But real reason of why students participate in the demonstration is that because U.S. beef will be on their table as a school lunch. They are fighting for their life but conservative express use them for political purpose to repress “Korean Teachers & Education Workers’ Union”.

Everybody knows that Mad Cow Disease is fatal disease and it can be spread very easily because its infection way is various. Beef is used for food, medicine capsule, noodle soup, sanitary napkin and many more. Therefore, what the government is doing is killing citizens who vote for them. And conservative expresses who agree the opinion of the government are spreading wrong information which is related to people’s lives. They should stop this horrible trade and apologize to citizens for threatening their lives.

Today I read an article that introduces a 12 years old boy who is a physically handicapped person. He has many talents. He can play a piano and skateboard as well as swim. Last April, he got a prize in the drawing contest. But surprising thing is that he has only one arm and one finger. People are surprised again with the fact that he has cheerful mind and a strong will even though he is the disabled. And he has made an effort to adjust environment without any frustration. I think he is a great guy but his family is also respectable. If they didn’t give enough love to their son, he would have difficult adjusting everything around him. Two weeks ago I went to camp with mentally retarded children and their parents. I could see that how many parents are dedicated for their children. So I was very impressed on that. 

      Every Sunday evening I watch variety show about being married. At first, I just envied the couples and wanted to get married. Moreover, I take it for granted to get married if two people are falling in love each other  but now I don’t. Of course, I still want to get married but the thing is my thought about marriage has been changed. It’s more complicated than I thought and there is something more than that. While watching that show, I casted a doubt on my ability to handle the situations that I will face when I get married. It’s not only about love. It’s about me, my husband, our family and our friends. Then I realized that means a lot to me. I am not saying that marriage is bad but saying that we all should think seriously before making up our mind to get married. These days, getting divorce has became easier than before and many divorced people can live their lives like normal people but that doesn’t mean that the divorce doesn’t need to be the last choice. It should be the last thing to do and to avoid this we need to think ahead before making a huge mistake.

  I had coffee with my friend from America. While I was trying to catch his interests, I’ve got to know that he is just into Korean female singers and their songs. He knows much better than me and he even can name all members of team “Girls Generation.” He named other Korean groups and solo working singers but I didn’t get anyone of them. I asked him, “Do you watch all TV shows and dramas?” “No” He answered. 

What he watches is chanel Mtv that shows Korean pop musics with ‘Music video’ all through the day. He barely watches other programs. I was surprised at he knows something about Korea way much better than me.  I’ve got the feeling that depends on how we put big time for something, regardless nation or cultural differences, we can be experts no matter what it is about. 

In addition to it, he recommanded me to go some bars and pups which are his favourite around Hongik Univ. I was learning and listening about something of Korea from foreigner.

We all know dog is mans best  friend but what is it really mean? What does it mean to have a dog as your friend? The question might seem simple and not important but it is really good way to understand people social attachment. The reason we like dogs and other animals for friends is a simple reason. They don’t judge us like humans do. They usually always stay your friend and always there for you because well they don’t have busy lifes. So is this important? For some it might be. Someone with a busy life style might find it hard to keep friends but a dog could be there to build a simple social relationship. But it also has its down sides for it takes much effort to raise a dog. So the reason I bring this topic into media is because of the media following of dog.

Media defines dogs as pets that are suitable for a friend. We see dogs in movies, tv shows and they usually complete the family. Why does media try to progress the dog and human relationship?

My hobby is to watch movie and TV show and to read a newspaper, magazine and books so I think the media is a part of my life and it makes me do something like a vitamin in my body. For example, if there is no media, I could not live because there is nothing to do for me. Actually, I really like to watch the media. Sometimes, the media makes me rouse so in my case, after watching movie or soap opera, I decide to study or work hard like actress in movie or soap opera. Therfore, the media have me move from laziness. When I am very tired and just want to see Tv and take a rest, through this situation, i can have energy and be diligent. For instant, when i watch TV drama, if I really like the main actress I daydreamt as if I would be the main actress in the drama. As a result, I really want to be like main pretty actress. In my opinion, sometimes, the media give me energy and vitamin for my boring life so I think the media is the important part of my life ^^
