T.V. series-comedy

Donna Pinciotti
Unemployed, high school student
Smart, red-head girl, very masculine, and has a deep voice.

The guy with the puffy curly hair, looks like a hippy but likes to fight.

Fez

Eric Forman
Unemployed, high school student
The very skinny weak geeky guy, all the friends always hang at his basement.

Laurie Forman
Unemployed, high school student
The stupid, hottest, and blond girl that had slept with all the guys in the neighborhood.


Summary:
My summary is that this series doesn’t follow the usual characteristics as in other series. First, the hippy supposes to be a peace lover while in this series likes to fight. Second, the geek, the hippy, the cool guy and the foreign exchange student will probably won't hang out together. Third, and last, the girl that is masculine supposes to be a lesbian, but she isn't. Actually, Eric and she is a couple. In addition, Fez, the very feminine guy, supposes to be gay, but actually, he likes girls very much and rarely hides in the closet and looks at couples.
On the other hand, the series does have some of the characteristics as in usual series. For example, the girl, Jackie, is usually spoiled and likes to act as a little girl. Another example is Laurie. Blond girls usually are stupid as her and sluty. A third and last example is Michael. He is the cool guy; they do usually, look too much in the mirror and love themselves the most.

Out Foxed Reaction Essay

The news, a T.V.programe exicting to deliver the people important information about event around the globe that influence the national stability of the world, such as war. What if, someone had told you that all the news cast you hear everyday is just biased?
During English class, we had seen an astonishing video concerning Fox News. In the video, there were very important facts on how the program is running while affecting the sorroundings in a negative way
One of their tactics is to add many comercials to the program. Before a commercial they are discussing about an important event that they believe they viewers would not want to miss. Every six minutes of news broadcast there is a ten minute breake of advertisment. After the ads, they review all the events that were said for not loosong viewrs.
Another disturbing tactic is that the anchors use the sentence "some people say" when it is an opinion of them because thery are not allowed to be involved in such a way that is prsonal. While the anchors argue with the people they are reviewing the usually get into an unegriment and into a verbal conflict. During such a conflict, they do not try to piss the other person off, they simply try to squeez out needed information without them noticing it.
An upsetting fact relating to the anchors of Fox News is that 83% of the anchors are repulicans while 17% are democrats. Most of the anchors are liberal. There is a unique anchor in Fox New, I cannot recall his name thought, that frequently lies during the broadcast but he is a pathological liar and so cannot be sued and continous with his doings.
Reaserching well and giving correct and valueable informatioon is also very important in the news. However, most of the information being presented isn't usually origanal, their quality standard are low, some stories are not well researched and many of them are not really event stories but personal reflections. In addition, the events being told are being chosen weather or not they are interesting enough and being worthy of telling. Regularly, the stories are not even critical or as important as what is going on in the outside world. For examle, the news broadcast speaks plenty of celebrities and their personal life instead of informing us of the severe situation of women in Iraq and how the majority of the women there are drug addicts as a result of their everyday fear of survival and trouble of sleeping when every few seconds there are gun shots.
As a conclusion, the Fox News program cannot be trusted. But, many of the other news programg are being lead after Fox. So, from now on, each time i warch the news I would pay a great attention to the details ant wont believe to everything being said. Later on I would research the information being told by verious resources. Than, I will know weather to believe it or not.
