14. Timing

Nice timing eh? With this post it totally makes 14 post and before 11pm, too. You might not recommend such acts, i know, but the thing is that i love to feel the adrenalin inside me, so i leave it to the last minute, that's just my style...

13. Sonja

Today i'm going to talk about the person, who is responsible of me writing these lines, my ENG 101 teacher Sonja Tack. She has this revolutionary way to make students express themselves freely in English, not only allowing them to practice but also giving them more self-confidence about their English. Furthermore, she got us well informed about blogging and always supported us. Thank you Sonja, we appreciate it.

12. Exam (What a lovely day)

January the 6th was unfortunately not that special day for English, since i had two other final exams besides English exam. Starting from 10.30 with TLL 101 Final, lasting 2 hours and getting me devastated, but still i got the chance to rest untill 16.15. To be continued with RUS 101 exam my torture doesn't end, without a break i start my ENG 101 exam and after 75 minutes the last final exam of the day was over, just like i was. Luckily i was used to such conditions thanks to my lovely former school. Viva la DSI.

11. Second attempt to present

Although the movie we were supposed to present was a very painful and boring one, our second presentation was much more organised than the first, as we managed to get together one week before the presentation day. We structured and prepared well enough, but again our fourth member was missing. We all don't why he didn't show up that day. This effected our excellent yet fragile presentation in a very bad way.

P.S. Ahm, Sonja by the way Teena lies Lana about her being hermaphrodite, she was born as a girl, later became a transexual.

Guns have a different place in a mans life. Even though some loves it or hates it, some respects it or pities it, surely it feels different to be behind the barrel, holding a tremendous power. However it is nowadays usually confused with masculin power by the media as we can see in the movie "Tough Guise". But we see the same portrate in "The man who was almost do man" by Richard Wright in mid-1930s before the effects of media. A boy who tries to be a man by buying a gun, ending up however severely

09. Aggression of Men

When we look deep in the history, the aggression of men seems constant, but nowadays it looks like it is stimulated by the media. The violent and brutal movies effect men in a way that they immitate these movies unconsciously and become more violent and brutal themselves. The movie "Tough guise" proves this idea in many ways. Not only presented but sometimes also the brutallity is encouraged by these movies.

08. Marked Women from another POV

Every single day the effects of the media on the society gets more and more visible. People start to become like they see on television, internet or advertisements. However the most significant change can be seen on the women, as naturally they are marked, in result distinctive by their look. Everything about a womans physical appearance leaves a trace of her personality. That is why she has to keep her look at peek. The interesting point is that this is nowadays defined by the media. It can be clearly seen in the movie "Killing Us Softly 3" how the female population begin to lose weight, have surgeries and suffer just to be like the ones presented via media.
