*Am I iNvOlVeD*
I think that the media contributes to my status a lot. If it were not for the media's coverage of political events and of news I would be unaware of what is going on. often times when I watch the news I feel like I am out of the loop and that leads me to want to know more and learn more about politics. The media is what stems my interest in politics and news. When I see a news story about political issues that I know nothing about, I want to learn more about it.

*Comparing the Number of movies I have seen in the past six months in the theater with those I have seen at home*
I love watching movies at home on a regular basis. In the past six months I have probably watched over thirty of them at home. This is a much higher number than what I watched in the theater.
*What are the differences I expect from a movie as opposed to a drama or comedy show on t.v.?*
When I watch a movie I hope to forget everything else that is going on in my life. I like to pretend I am a character in the movie and that everything else around me just disappears. When I watch television it is usually just to pass time or to be entertained for a short amount of time. I would much rather watch a movie!
