Media

I believe that media is pretty important in my life. I think that without the media, I wouldn't know much, or even anything, about celebrities or music or anything like that. The media keeps me informed and always introduces me to new types of music and movies that I may enjoy.

A type of media I feel most passionate about is music. I enjoy many different types of music, and also play acoustic guitar. I would also say that I am interested in movies. I usually watch 1-2 movies a week and would like to learn more about what goes into making a film. TV is another type of media that I like, because of the wide variety of shows and different types of programs available to watch.

I think that there are good points and bad points to modern popular culture. I believe that the easier that new technology is making it for people to communicate, the better. I don't really dislike any elements of popular culture, because it makes life more interesting. I use the media for entertainment, but also for homework, or looking up different things.

I think that I have a strong, passionate connection to music. I like a wide variety of music. One of my favourites to listen to are the Beatles. I love the Beatles because they have so many different types of songs. I like that some of their music makes you think, like "Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite", because to me, it makes no sense at all, and I always try to find out if the lyrics have any meaning behind them. I think I have a strong connection to music because I've been playing guitar since I was 12. I love the way acoustic music sounds. I always choose acoustic music over any other type. I love music because, as most people do, I can relate to alot of songs, and can listen to songs that go along with the way I'm feeling, and can also change my mood. One of my favourite songs of all time is Everchanging by Rise Against. To me, this song has alot of meaning behind its lyrics. I also love the way the acoustic guitar is played in this song.
