How powerful Reality TV shows are...

Nowadays, reality and talent TV shows are said to have managed to seize power through the screens over minds. However, is this completely true?

To start with, we should definitely point out that these TV shows are a source of entertainment for their viewers. People enjoy drama. Reality TV shows present love stories, dance competitions and other situations which attract viewers to get deeply involved with the programmes. Whilst, it is important to mention that producers just want rating, success and to earn more money every single night. Live disputes between participants seldom end. These programmes tend to play with the participants’ relationships because they are benefited from the gossip.

Another issue to take into account is that young people’s vulnerable minds are influenced by these reality and talent TV shows. They see almost naked women, listen to “grown-up” matters and maybe to words not appropriate for young people, among others. Talking in general terms, juveniles have fragile or not trained minds. Due to this fact, they could accept as a definite or unbreakable truth whatever these shows present. Apart from that, young people are used to hold the show’s runner in such regard that they usually follow him as a leader they would never defy.

To conclude, I personally believe reality and talent TV shows mean no harm. However, they should be extremely careful with what they present to the entire world. They should all stay out of people's heads. They at least have the right to remain free.

Paris the city of lights

Set in the heart of northern France, Paris is one of the most populated metropolitan areas in Europe. A truly international city Paris is today one of the world's leading business and cultural centers, and its influences in politics, education, entertainment, media, fashion, science, and the arts all contribute to its status as one of the world's major global cities.

First, Paris has many impressive sights to see, from the historical beauty of Eiffel Tower to Notre Dame Cathedral  and the Champs-Elysées. In this city of love and beauty, Louvre is one of the breathtaking museums you can see. The collections are so vast and diverse that visitors may have the impression of navigating a maze of distinct artistic and cultural worlds. Besides that the Arc de Triumph is recognized as a symbol of Parisian pomp and elegance around the globe.

Secondly, Paris is also well known for its original style. Shoppers will enjoy visiting the boutiques and the perfume stores which are very stylish. For evening entertainment the choice of theatres and operas are enormous. Also the French cuisine includes a variety of original food which you don’t see everywhere. La Truffle Marbeuf is a traditional French cuisine and worth visiting too.

To my way of thinking, Paris is the ideal place for holidays. In addition to this Paris is a complex city which has beautiful history of art where people can enjoy their sitting .As FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE said "An artist has no home in Europe except in Paris."
