Books into TV and movies

Well this will probably be my last blog for awhile since I only have to do this last one this week. The class has taught me a lot but for this blog I will be talking about how TV and movies has influence more people no to read. When I was young I love to read the R.L Stine Goosebumps books. I love to be scared when I read and read and was always interested in them. However the Goosebumps show stated to come on TV and since then I gave up reading the books because it cam on TV. Goosebumps is just one example that was a good book then turn into a television series. Not just books turn into Television series but also into movies. The most recent hit movie twilight has become a movie. Twilight as most of you know was first a book them now it’s a movie. Personally I would read the book but why would I if it is already on television. But the book is a series of books so people still get to read the books because they want to know what lies ahead and what will happen to the characters in the book or movie. There a re many books that are turned into Television or movies here in a link that will tell you the books that were turn into movies by year. One of the best writers out there today is Stephen King. He has brought up many books then later on was turn into great movies. Some in his list that were turn into movies are desperation that was a TV series. Another one was Kingdom Hospital which I like in 2004. Since there are more and more books turning onto movies more people are starting to just see the movie or the television and just not read. But I do encourage parent s to tell there kids that reading the book is better them the movie.

Music with fashion

We all love music, fashion, movie games well I guess I can say the general population does but what I wanted to know is does music really affect fashion and the way we dress. Through the years music is what motivates us people and also gives us feelings that we can share to other people as well as just remember some one just because of the lyrics of the song or the beat to it. Music is everywhere around us and its also everywhere we go in our cars, house, elevators, malls just about anywhere. Fashion, personally I like fashion cause its always really cool when we see someone dress a different way then others that we think is weird then in a week a too that’s the clothes we would also wear. I see people dress just like the music videos of pop rock or country or any other genre. Music has influence me in a way that I dress because I tell myself that this looks good and so I wear it and it matches on what club I go to what type of music I will be surrounded by, so it does have an effect on me. Back when my dad was in high school he dressed a totally different way then I dress right now and I told him why? Then he said because in the 60’s and 70’s people loved The Beatles so much that they would try to look like them. So my dad used to try to be like the Beatles as well. My dad is just one example of how music has change fashion but my mom as well. My mom loves to dance and more specific loves salsa dance. Most of the time she still dresses like a salsa dancer and loves salsa music so she dresses like one. Today we all can see how music has changed our fashion just by looking at the rocker fashion with the ears pierce and the long hair with skull T-shirts. Or the rapper type fashion with long shirts and NY caps. Music and fashion do collide and make us how we dress.

Educational Safe Sex Videos


As we had talked about sex and violence on women as well as how they show themselves in music videos, I became really interested into the subject. So this week’s blog I am going to talk about how videos can influence people on having safe sex. As more and more women or young ladies are becoming pregnant as they are at a young age I do know that humor as well as education sex videos do help. Watching Sex Education videos can help young women to getting safe sex. One video that I found and thought that it had a little humor is a video called How to Have Safe Sex on how cast. The video is a little funny due to how they explain how to have safe sex with a sexual partner but they use a tea poorer for hoe to put a condom on. Some may find this funny but its still a good education video but you never want to get some kind of desease or infections or STDs or Clymedia that will eventually lead to aids. Learning how to have safe sex will help reduce the number of victems that have STDs or some other sort of desease. Also it will help reduce the number of young pregnant women that have babies. I found another video that made be explicit to viewers because there is sex and humor as well. I still think the video is educational because it good and safe to use condoms and the video helps you choose the right decision. I found the educational video on Collegehumor.com so it will have some humor on it. Many think this is not a very well educational video but if people really get the point to have safe sex it can help out the world. Having these educational sex videos talking about having safe sex is a good thing because talking about sex is important to know.
