The Influence of the Movies and TV on People's Behaviour

Nowadays, one of the most popular connection tools with the society is through visual media. It's popular because of its easiness in transferring thoughts. Also, it plays a
major role in the socialization process of society members. Then, Television and movies have their own merits and negative points. Here, some negative affects of the visual
media in the society is discussed, such as its effect on increasing violence among the society, how it can make people unrealistic, and at last the way the family communication can be
threaten by medias such as TV.

First of all, many movies and TV shows have an impact on increasing violence among the society. Moreover, there are studies that show watching and playing movies and games
that have more than a certain level of violence, have a potential to increase violence for children and teenagers. Furthermore, some movies suggest ideas and methods of doing
crimes for regular people who have never thought about it, and it has been seen that sometimes adults imitate the methods of stealing from movies. Then, TV and media sometimes
have a content that encourages regular people to do a crime by breaking taboos for them.

Then, after the media effects on increasing the violence, movies and TV shows can make the audiences unrealistic. There has been seen cases of escapism among the society
members who don't like their job, or their financial status, by watching people that they wanted to be on the TV. Moreover, heroes that fiction media demonstrate doesn't exist
in the real world a lot of times, but there are people who want to be like them! At last, movies can influence our unconsciousness by adding irrelevant stuff to our daily lives
to our mind.

Thirdly, Watching spending a lot of time and energy on TV and movies can lower the possible time for the family members to communicate. After a long day of work, family
members should be able to sit together and share the stories about their day, but watching TV together can eliminate this necessary time. So, it can end up having families
that have not communicated well for a while, and make family members apathetic about each other.

As a consequence, TV and movies can play a negative point in the today's society. They can increase violence, make people unrealistic, and threaten the family communication.
It'd better for the modern world to study all perspectives of the communication tools to lower their negative impacts.

An essay a day, makes your writing perfect

It is said that practice makes you perfect, but as nobody is perfect, so it would be better if one says "practice makes you better".

Nowadays I need to improve my English writing. No matter what it takes to do it, I have to do it to ensure that I will not lose any opportunity for a poor level of expression.

From Today, This photo blog will be changed to an essay blog for a while. I will write essays and essays, and I will ask certain people to come here and take a look at them, by their comments I can try to get insightful feedback about my writing, find my weaknesses and try to get stronger in the areas that I need to improve.

I know many people probably do not like to read long texts, but even without many readers, I try to keep on writing.

I am going to use a very formal language, as I am supposed to improve my formal English, so certain formats and signs such as "u", "ur", ":)", "lol"(I do not even use this one in my informal writing), "hey", and etc. will not be used for my essays. These are to be considered as serious English analytical essays and I will ask you to read them as an English teacher!

Anyways, I will start with my first essay soon, till that time, that would be a favor of you to comment about what I am about to do, in fact any suggest or criticism you might have. Thanks for reaching the final sentence of the introduction.

Divane Hafez


I remember the Hafez street in Ottawa, which is named because of the Persian community center in this street.
