Fame and teens

The dissatisfaction of teenagers with their image and what they have leads them to seek more, something that has been offered by the media and it can only become reality, for this reason we witnessed the phenomenon of "copy", ie not there is more originality in the behavior of adolescents, especially when handling the "seems." When we left the streets we see many candidates to rapper, this fashion "bad-boy" is based on the American conquest of quick fame, money, easy sex and violence, characteristics that are desired by the young Brazilian, a phenomenon also present in the style of cars where image is everything, especially the buses, with smoke lenses and powerful sounds, expressing a defiant air. There is a call to all resources to be famous, if the objective is not achieved, at least it seems. The constant search for fame, together with strategies television, makes us remember the words of the famous North American pop Andy Warhol, where he said: "In the future everybody will be world-famous for 15 minutes" [ii], the future has arrived, people seeking minutes of fame in front of telinha, no matter the price. The highest price paid for the viewer who wants to be famous is the loss of intimacy, since you can not differentiate more public space for private space. Today, the most efficient way to make it to the media, "there is as prominent as large star, or as mere mortal who somehow knew the success, the 'greatness', the' heroism '(Rosa MB Fischer, 2001, p.35). This appeal to the fall of intimacy is a feature used very often in programs such as talk show, so the program can cite examples of Jô (Rede Globo), realizes that there is a time when the presenter does not leave to appeal to this appeal, is asking the audience, the interviewee or to the public at home with questions about sex, homosexuality or fetish, everything revolves around the challenge to discover what happens in the privacy of individuals.

Racism

Racism is the trend of thought, or way of thinking which gives great importance to the notion of the existence of separate human races and over each other. Where there is a belief that some individuals and the relationship between heritable physical characteristics, and certain traits of character and intelligence, or cultural, are superior to others. Racism is not a scientific theory but a set of pre conceived opinions where the main function is to exploit the biological differences between humans, which some believe is superior to the other according to their racial matrix. The belief of the existence of superior and inferior races was often used to justify slavery, the dominance of certain other peoples, and the genocide that occurred throughout the history of mankind.

"Racism starts when the difference, real or imaginary, is used to justify aggression. An attack based on the inability to understand the other, to accept differences and to engage in dialogue."

Mário Soares, former President of Portugal

Todays advertising

Today, all human activities benefit with the use of advertising.Advertising is, today, a significant importance and scope, both in the field of economic activity, or as a privileged instrument of promoting competition, always good for companies and their customers.

It is accepted more and more the principle that there is a parallelism between the evolution of the concept of advertising and how to communicate. That is, the technical disclosure of a "communicator", he always sought to move the process for advertising and media to each season.

Sure, we've heard the following sentence: "The advertisement is the soul of business." All of us who watch TV, walk the streets or read newspapers, we are constantly exposed to all kinds of ads that sell the most diverse products. But what, in fact, the concept of Publicity and Advertising?

Advertising is a career dedicated to public dissemination of ideas related to business, products or services, specifically, commercial advertising.

Publicity is the effect of spreading. It is projecting the company image in the market, through the media available in the community: TV, radio, cinema, press, magazines, billboards, internet and other media), disseminating the products and services to various slices of the market.

Benefits of the plastic surgery

The external and physical benefits can have several facetas. The first thing that many people notice a plastic surgery after is that its bodies seem more proportional or balanced. Exactly that a person opts to surgery in the face, seios, hip, or thighs the objective is to sculpture the body in a way that seems more natural. The result comumente allows that the people make look like more as they think that they would have to be. This can sound strange, but it is common that a nose is very great for the face of a specific person or the very small seios can very be great or e this can make that all its other characteristics seem desproporcionais.

The Terminal

This is a movie that shows us scenes of discrimination to Viktor Navorski, a man from Krakozhia, that come to a New York City's airport, but during the flight his eastern bloc country's government has been overthrown by rebels, that become his passport disabled. On the next nine months, Viktor Navorski is forced to live in the terminal, unable to set foot into the United States or to go home. During the nine mouths he met a lot of friends like the staff at the terminal.But he get one enemie too, the Immigration Officer that doesn't allow Victor to get into new york. Almost on the end of the movie, Viktor explains to Amelia that the purpose of his visit to New York is to collect an autograph of the jazz saxophonist Benny Golson, because his father that is already death and was a jazz enthusiast, collected autographs from a group of musicians, except for one person: Benny Golson. Viktor wants to collect this last one to realize his father's dream.
At the end, finnaly, the war ended in Hrakozhia, and then, Victor, with the help of all the staff of the terminal, even without the permission of the Immigraton Officer, could get into New York and get Benny Golson's autograph.

I think it is a great film, with good actors.I recommend this movie to everyone

The Test - Prejudice still exist

This video was sent to my by my cousin. I was shocked when I saw it. The video show how a prejudice that “white” people have to “black” people and that prejudice already affects the black children. Is a bit shocking the questions they made to the children but I think the most shocking thing is the answer that the children say. I think nowadays that doesn’t happen so often but that children used to hear from white people that black people are bad, black people murder, black people steal. So in the test when the man asks them what the mean doll they answer the black doll is. Is also shocking the fact that they children think they are ugly, and only the white, blond and with blue eyes is pretty. Everyone is like himself and is that what made us unique and prettier, being black, white, yellow, red what colour is doesn’t matter a human being is a human being and should be treated like a human not like garbage.

The Video has subtitles, a help for the people that don't understand the video at the first time.
