3. Photo Journailism

In my opinion, photo journalism has key role to tell public they should take action. Photos are very effective, people understand importance of the situation better than reading a text. It must be hard to be war or disaster photographer, because you capture the reality of situation. It is not like reading newspaper. They saw and live the terrible situation, but it is not ethic to win a prize with a photo like this. It may be encouriging but you become famous over people, who are in an awful situation.

2. Reality Tv

I think reality tv is an amusing thing to watch and criticize. People are acting according to scenario and try to be famous for fiftheen minutes. Those people, who attend this show, are not seeing how miserable they are. Some people watch them for ridiculous things to make fun with them, but some of them see this show, because it is very similiar with their lifes. I don't understand, why news channels make news about this reality shows. It is very pointless.

1. Enormous Radio

It was a quiet good short story. Theme is post war american family and main characters are two person, which is a couple. In story everything about this couple paired perfectly with model american family. For example they have two children and man is at work wife is going brunch with her friends. Suddenly couple's radio break down and they need buy a new one. I think this is the break point of the story. They buy a new one and incidents are starting. First they dont understand the problem but after some repair they can clearly hear neighbours discussions. Radio's appereance is very symbolic. It is very inelegant and unsuitable with woman's living room, which very careful decorated. In my opinion, it is not going well with american family model and writer tried to criticize it. In the end of the story couple has problem because of hearing neighbours and husband and wife's problems emerges.
