Unreal Reality


As we already know that nowadays most popular TV shows are reality shows which do not deserve the name 'reality'. It doesn't deserve that name because actors cannot be so natural between lots of cameras and lights. Also these actors are not well-qualified actors like we can watch in well-produced films. They are people who want to be popular by showing up on TV or getting rich by some competition shows. So this question comes to mind that how could be these reality shows so popular. This was what we were seeking at today's Eng 101 lecture and you can see the answer in following weeks on my research paper. ;)

Summary of Week 2

On week 2 we were responsile for the text ''enormous radio''from John Cheever. The story was about an ordinary family(Jim and Irene Wescott). But this family has a feature that also determines the story, they listen classical music and this is like their all amusement.They used to listen it from an old radio but it had one day broken completely so they had to buy a new one and so called enormous radio. This radio has called enormous because whit that item the sounds of the neighbors can be listened so the radio brought to Wescott family the problems of their neighbors and this occasion disrupted their peace.
I find that text interesting. It contains symbols of modern English society such as classic music. On the other hand to be concerned about other people's problems make the story fluent.
On the second day of week 2 we were discussing if downloading software items from internet is piracy or not. So we come to conclusion that it is a piracy but no sufficient policies are made to solve this problem. Thus people download items from internet whitout having concern about committing crime. We also discuss about the solutions and I have a solution proposal about that topic that blocking all illegal files whit a program and every time you open online you pay the amount to the copyright owner instantly. To achive this system it is also needed to reduce the price of these online programs so everybody can easily access it. If this system completely comes to the fruition I think most of copyright owners make well profit.
