Week#7: A Celebrity

A celebrity! According to the dictionary of Rae a celebrity is a person who have fame, renown and applause.

Now I am going to talk about the celebrity I chose. I chose to Mary Louise Streep better known as Meryl Streep. She is an american actress of theater, cinema and television. Nominated for 19 Academy Awards in total, Streep has more nominations than any other actor or actress in history. She is considered one of the best actress of all times. She won many of this awards for example, she won six times the Academy Awards, eight times the Golden Globe Awards, two times the SAG Awards, two times the BAFTA Awards, also she won two Emmy Awards, and many more awards. Also she was recognized by Barack Obama with the National Medal of Art.

The things I love of her it is that she is dedicated, she is serious and she loves what she do. She is a role mode for many actress. She is recognized by her work with the accents on her movies. She can do accents like the Danish, English, Italian, Irish-american, Minnesota accent and Bronx heavy accent. Also for one of her movie she learned English and German, both with a Polish accent. For she, the accents are important because she says "how I can do a character and talk like me?" I admire her because she transforms herself in each movie she make. You can see the differences of the characters she interprets, any is like another. She is a real actress, she works to be a real actress. 

The movies that I more love of her are The Devil Wears Prada, Mamma Mia!, Into the Woods, The Iron Lady, Prime, It's Complicated and many others. She is really one of the best actress in the world.   

Week#6: Media

 The media... I see media like that communication that I cannot have in person. According to the site banrepcultural.org  the media are instruments used in contemporary society to inform and communicate messages in visual, audiovisual, textual or sound version.

The truth is that almost all my family are in United State, so is the only way we can keep the communication. But the reality is that the media have two faces. The first face it is the good one. It is when you use the media for good things like to search information for homework, to socialize, to entertainment in a good way, etc. 

But the media also can be your worst enemy. For example when you used to socialize, you do not know if the person who you are talking is saying the truth or is lying. Also when you create a dependence on it and some addiction. You know that you have some addiction when you can not stay away one second of it. The truth is that many people use the  media to lie and handle. 

There exist many types of media. There are the TV, the internet, telephone, music, etc. Whatever that you will going to use, remember to use carefully.

Week#5: Marriage

I like this subject...Marriage! And the question is, what is marriage? According to the dictionary of the RAE, is a concerted union of man and woman through certain rites or legal formalities. 


Marriage is something that every girl dream, well it is something I have dreamed for a long time. I want to marriage sometime in the future, not now. 

For me marriage it is more than a signature on a paper, when you get married it is because you are sure that is the person for you and you know that no one will change your opinion about her or him. I believe in marriage but not in live together. A marriage is a compromise of loyalty, love, respect, responsibility. Things like this cannot be ensured when we just live together, a marriage goes further because it is a pact and a promise that you make to that person. Maybe some people live together and have all that and I respect that. But it is something I do not support.

Something more that I am not support it is the divorce, I think that it is the last option is the really last option and just in some cases not in every cases. When you marry it is for all life, that is the reason why you need to know that person before you get married. When you marry with that person it is because you really love him or her. It because really know their strengths and weaknesses. Marriage do not means perfection, you marry because you love and this does not means that you will not have difference, you will have differences with that person because you are not the same person, you two think different but when you really love you learn to resolve the differences. Maybe sometimes will be more difficult but everything it is possible, and something that I saw on my parents it is that when God is at the center of marriage everything is possible.

Week#4: Religion

Religion... These word it is too complex and big. To some people it means something and to others persons maybe it means another thing. According to the dictionary of RAE, religion is a set of beliefs or doctrines about the divinity, feelings of reverence and fear of it, moral standards for individual and social conduct and ritual practices, particularly prayer and sacrifice to give cult.

There exist many types of religions. In this video we are going to see some of them.

The video shows some of the many religions in the world. We saw some as Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism. I think that the video explain them very well.

Talking about what I believe, personally I am a Christian. I think that Jesuschrist and he die for us on the cross. But if there's one thing I think is to respect the beliefs of others because I do not think we should impose a religion. I think my personality is worth a thousand words and I think they will come by my testimony as a person and not by imposition. Each believes in what they want and is something to be respected.
