persuasive essay about the violence of tv

VIOLENCE OF TV

Since 1926, Television has been in people's life big time. It lets people know what is going on in their country or around the world, and entertains people with a variety of different kinds of segments. But one of its worst impacts around the world is that nowadays having a channel on TV has became one of the largest business areas around the whole world. It is becoming more of a making money sector instead of having good sections on TV which would help people in their lives. Even in news , we hear about how a celebrity wearing “X Brand” shoes, instead of watching shows which entertains people in a good way and does not offend people about their thoughts or believes. In the the year of 2012, TV is violating peoples lives.

In the 21^st century, almost everyday in news , we hear about people who are getting killed, crashing cars while they were to imitate people from Tokyo Drift. Nowadays, most of the shows have things that would actually make people think that it is worth doing it. The owners of channels are only thinking about how to make more money, so they do not care about what they put on TV, and how would these things affect to peoples lives. That is why the percentage of deaths caused from TV shows have gone up 38% more in last three years. For example. In 2005, a kid in Turkey thought he was superman and he could fly, so he jumped out of the 10^th floor of the apartment and died. Also there was a criminal who watched the whole season of a dramatic TV show named “ Dexter” and cut people up who he thought that they were not good people. Basically the TV shows are now made to have more rating so people can make money.

Besides crimes, these shows in these days are effect kids life when they are in their character development process. Since 2008, after the a release of TV series called “ The Valley of Wolves” in Turkey which was about mafia's lives and showed them really cool that the smoking age in Turkey went down to age 14 from age 18. The little kids thought they were one of the characters in the series and started to act like it. There was a kid who shot his friend because they were playing their little being mafia game and he took his fathers gun from a drawer and shot his friend. Also the average of selling suit in a well known suit selling store went up 30 % in three months, because most of the teenagers thought it was a good thing to dress up like a mafia. The amount of the students who smoke cigarettes in high school bathrooms went up to 45%. 10 years prior to that, the smoking age was 19 and only 8.5% of the high school students were smoking which still is a big amount of people but way better than 45 %.

Television has made people too blind that now most of the people thinks that it is a good thing to act like one of the criminals from a TV show or a bully from a movie,etc... But most of the TV producers are making these bad characters look really cool in theirs shows so it effects people with a lack of education and little kids in a bad way. Since the we are in the world that money is over everything, people does not care about these kind of things that are happening all over the world. TV shows should show the bad characters in a bad way that the people from age 5-16 could understand a difference between being cool by having good manners, being polite to people instead of bullying, fighting, smoking, etc. Since these bad things takes people's attention TV channels shows them in a good way instead of explaining why they are bad things to do. In order to have our children grow up and develop their characters' in a good way,these bad things that are being shown on TV must stop thus, when they grow up, they can be helpful to the universe ,to their own country and people.

Take a Trip to Hell

If i would have chosen to go and take a trip to hell, I would definetly choose Coach Morrell.Because she has been studying Inferno for such a long time, she knows all the cantos,evrry detail about the hell like she knows her name. Also she was in Italy this summer and studied Inferno again, went to museums and learned everything about Inferno. Since we haven't seen how hell looks like,only guide for hell looks like the book of Inferno so I would definetly choose the Inferno Master a.k.a Coach Morrell.

CANTERBURY TALES ACTORS

  CANTERBURY TALES ACTORS

If I were to make a movie for canterbury tales;

For Knight I would ask Ray Winstone, who was featuring as Beowulf for Beowulf movie released in 2007. The reason I would choose him because the prologue mentions that“ There was a Knight, a most distinguished man,who from the day on which he first began to ride abroad had followed chivalry,truth honor, generousness and courtesy.” These lines basically tell us that he would go to other countries and fight with honor . He was generous and truthful like Beowulf. In that movie we can see that Beowulf(Ray Winstone) is a good fighter, he shares the stuff he gets from the wars with the people in the village. Also in the Prologue it talks about how great warrior was he and he traveled and fought in Mediterranean coast which almost the same thing that Beowulf did , he went to Denmark to save the people there. Besides the movie, Ray Winstone is a guy who can really act out characters such as knights, mafias,landowners, etc.. So I would definitely choose him for the Knight.

For the Doctor, I would choose Adam Sandler with no doubt. Adam Sandler has played in the movie called “Just go with it “ as a doctor. Him and his mate(Jennifer Anniston) had their own business. The reason I am choosing Adam Sandler is because the prologue talks about his relationship with the pharmacist how they worked together and made money. “All his apothecaries in a tribe, were ready with the drugs he would prescribe and each made money from the other's guide.” Also the prologue mentions that the Doctor is really good at his job , he is a good talker , he can talk to his patients with a great way that he can send them to the pharmacist. Also he did not really follow the bible ,so basically this is a perfect fit for Adam Sandler. In “Just go with it” , his role was kind of the same. In his other movies , we can see that he can really make good acting of a doctor and we can see how good talker he is so I would definitely go with Adam for the Doctor.

For my third and last character which is the wife of bath, which I would choose Kim Kardashian as known as my dream lady. She matches with her perfectly. She dresses up different and nicer then any other woman. She changes a lot of guys and also she is multicultural, she has been to a lot of countries. These lines in the poetry “She'd been to Rome and also to Boulogne, St James of Compostella and Cologne,And she was skilled in wandering , by the way. She had gap-teeth ,set widely,truth to say.” basically states the things I mentioned. Their personalities matches too. They are both lovers and effect the guys with their looks. Kim Kardashian is taking attention with he look and so as the wife with the gap between her teeth. It was a sign of a good looking and saying truth back in the day. I think Kim Kardashian is the best fit for her, not only her acting skills, also her character is matching with the Wife of Bath too so she would be really good at acting her out.  

CANTERBURY TALES POEM WRITTEN BY AK AND GABRIEL

A guardian there was, her name was sandy

She was annoying like a pepper candy

Her job was to protect her people always

But she fails every time she begins

All that she says sounds like garbage to me

Just try to talk to her ,and you will see

If you thought your mother-in-law was bad

You should be happy and pray to god for that

You wish for an end any time she argue

But that end will never come true for you

ISLAND ESSAY

        My family is probably freaking out right now. "American Airlines Flight A328 has just crashed into a tropical island that has never been shown on the map before." There was a lot of blood, most of  the people were dead, but there was only one person that survived, my dream lady Kim Kardashian. She was so scared, she ran to me and gave me a hug, started to cry on my shoulder and told me that she lost her whole family in the accident. After awhile, I thought it would be a really good idea to go check and see if I can get anything that would be helpful for us. As I ran towards to the plane, I saw my luggage out there which made me really happy because it was the only luggage that survived and once I thought about that, there were some really good thing that would be helpful for us such as a compass which I use to find out which direction I should face when I am praying. As I went through all my stuff, I saw the book of "Robinson Cruise" which was talking about the same situation me and my baby Kim were in. He was left on an island by himself, then he found a mate, afterwards he made the island livable for them. Kim started to smile after all that crazy stuff she had been through. As I opened the first page of the book, my iPod Nano dropped on the the ground which made me quite happy because I had just downloaded the new album of Lil Wayne "Carter IV " . As I started to listen, Kim said she likes Lil Wayne too. As the time passed, she got happier and happier which made me kind of glad that I was left on an island with her. :)

There was once a chance I didn't take

 There was once a chance I didn't take , which made me feel so stupid that I would stop hanging out with girls when I was in 5^th grade. When I transferred to my new school, there was this awesome looking girl. Since I was young, I thought she was an angle. Every time I saw her,i would just smile and feel happy. She started to talk to me. I was feeling so happy because we were cool but it started to look like we were turning in to BFF's which really made me sad . Now I would never be able to ask her. We kind of stopped talking for 3 months then one time out of nothing , her best friend told me that how she liked me so much and she was too shy like me to ask me about it . But it has been so long and now she didn't like me as she used to before. I was so sad and since then I was always brave and never felt shy to ask out girls. :)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

FINAL COLLEGE ESSAY

“BE YOU”

My dad and I were saying goodbye to each other at the Istanbul Ataturk Airport -which is the one of the busiest airports in Turkey- ; it was two in the morning waiting on the line for the passport check for my flight to the United States of America. My dreams were coming true;i would get to play football in a high school team, go to NBA games. What could I have wanted more? And when I said goodbye to him , only thing he said was“ be you .“

During the flight, I kept hearing his voice when he said”Be you.” I was thinking about the reason he said. But I eventually found out what he really meant through out my journey of being the best in everything I was doing in states.

As I said, I had only one passion in my life, Football. I don't know why my dad wanted me to play football even when the coach told him that “Making a kid play football is like leaving him in the middle of the highway;they are basically the same thing.” But I am so glad that he made me play football while I was playing soccer in the middle of little streets with my friends.

But he wasn't that happy after 3 families came to our house and told him that I injured their kid.

What I really liked about football was that the expansion of my family. I had a locker room fulled of brothers and I never had a brother in my life. Every single time I went to practice, I felt like home. It is a great feeling that there is always somebody got your back covered besides your dad.

But my dad wasn't just a dad to me. He was the only person to me that played roles of multiple characters in my life. He wasn't a dad only, he became my friend, my big brother ,basically everything after my mother's death which really hurt me , also it made me a grown man at age 8 .

When I wasn't sure about going to states and worried about not being successful, I asked my coach for his opinion. And he told me , “ Believe in yourself son, and never forget,when you want to succeed ,as bad as you want to breathe, that's when you will be successful.” and that's when I made my decision to go play football and study in USA. Sometimes you need to sacrifice and leave the people you love and follow your dreams.

I decided to continue my study in high school in the United States of America with my less then Perfect english. When I say perfect , I would go to Mc Donalds and order a Big Mac menu while I wanted some chicken tenders. But football was only thing that was inspiring me to stay in the states.

A culture difference was my big concerned. Every other country has their own culture and the things that are related to your culture might not look good in other countries. But coming to the States really taught me how to communicate with people from other countries and made me learn new cultures. Not only just American culture, I learned people's culture from most of the countries and that really made me really mature and knowledgeable. I was completely a different person and I was way more multicultural and scholar than my friends in Turkey. In one year, I really owned a lot of respect from everybody in my country. It is better to experience something than to just learn about it. That's what made me get a lot of respect from people in Turkey. I was more than a 16 year old teenager , I was a grown man. Not that many people can be brave and go to a different country that you barely know the language and the culture.

My father was right. If I was never being myself , I would be back in my country after one year in Arizona without learning any English. If I was never brave and believed in myself, I would not have gotten the Most Valuable Player award in Arizona , I would not be the youngest person in the national team of my country. But all of the hard work, practices would not mean anything if I never believed in myself.

Only those two words changed my whole life from going to a decent public school in my country to the one of the best high schools in Florida.

Sometimes you need to just be you.

RIDDLE

  Have scratches all over my body

Can have any color I want

As long as I match with my flag

Protection is my middle name

I protect as much as I can

But if my lord does not see what is goin on

Even leeches cannot heal his blade cuts

But maybe Joel knows how to get his memory back

I have a part that has been made out of iron

If the rulers of the war catch you pulling that

You go 5 back

Dont use it for sphere

Let it protect your brain.
