DVD Burning Media

     I am very exciting these days because I will go to a party which is held by our classmates on Christmas Eve.There are many activities on it.For example,you can dance with a beautiful girl and playing games is also available for us.Other than the activities above,there are many delicious food throughout the party time.But I am a little tense when I hear that I have to sing a song on the party!

     Obviously,I am not good at that.I am not a Singstar.And I am afraid that my bad voice will frighten my classmates.But the monitor says that this is indispensable.So I have to practice now.Where should I do that?It is really a difficult task for me.My best friend ,Alex,says that I should try the Online Karaoke because it is free and I can get many suggestions from other people who are fond of singing.He also gives me an example.That is using2.com.

     uSing2 is a competitive social community where members can sing their favourite songs, challenge their friends and other members around the world to sing a song, uSing2 analyses a player’s pitch and compares it to the original track, with players scoring points based on how accurate their singing is.

     If you have the same problem with me,just have a try on it!

     First of all let me tell you that this is no media-bashing agenda. There is no doubt about the fact that there are certain media elements affecting our culture for better because had it not been for media, quick and easy flow of useful information and education would not have been possible. The media has played a major role in positive developments like fight against racism, fight against gender bias, world poverty and spreading awareness about the world peace.

     This being said, there is no denying to the fact that certain media messages are detrimental to our society. We need to realize that although media is a reflection of the society we live in but at times, the media needs to do much more than reflect the surroundings – it has to exaggerate, sensationalize and at times even trivialize the matters of utmost importance to make way for entertainment. The media creates celebrities; it creates idols – celebrities who thrive on fans, followers, and groupies! When we say a certain type of music or a certain genre of movies is popular, it means a large number of people are following an ideology or a concept, which lies at the heart of that song or the movie. One of the most striking examples in this case would have to be the popularity of violent and abusive rap songs amongst teenagers. The glorification of violence, drug abuse and other unhealthy habits has a major role in the outburst of unfortunate incidents where children have gotten extremely violent and out of control.

     Be it the advertisements touting products that promise a fairer skin or bods-to-die for or the television shows and films, which portray violence, sexually explicit content and abusive language. There are music videos and rock bands that give out the message that alcohol; drugs and sex are an inevitable part of life. These ideals created by the media might not be necessarily appropriate. read more »
