 Hype is a short article written by Kalle Lasn published in "in signs of life in the USA: readings on popular Culture
The title "Hype" is based on, How number of advertisements is increasing however, it does not go through where it should be. In addition, Lasn mentions about the development of technology.

Advertisement plays an important role for businessman to grow their business. Since lots of advertisement are being posted in billboard and million ads are shown in radio and television as a result it leads to prevalent and toxic of the mental pollutants.

 I agree with authors point of view that "The increase in commercial advertising has happened so steadily and relentlessly that we have't quite woken up to the absurdity of it all." Instead of increasing in business, advertisements keep polluted our mind; however, it provide information about the products which we need to buy. In the same time multiply advertisements in between the interesting show keep disappointed us the viewer.

 Kalle lasn mentions some examples regarding different types of ads such as,scrolls in the little window of machine in bank, ads shown on the nozzle in gas station, the most powerful micro-marketing medium. This type of advertisements are really informative, knowledgeable and helpful to people.                           
   I salute to those technologies which really make peoples life easy.
 When I was new in this country I didn't had any idea to use automated machine. I was really in trouble at the time. I didn't had any guts to ask people for help as I was a shy person, later on I realized that instruction was shown on the screen. I believe there is too much similar kind of ads for different purpose, which really helps for people who don’t have any idea to operate any technology thing like automatic machine.

My friend's brother, he is only 14 years old. He is doing his high school. He keeps asking for 5s I phone even though he have I phone 5. The advertising on television really attracts his mind. The ads make him crazy to get it. He sold his new Nick shoes, G-shock watch, games etc. He was ready to sale more stuff but before he does so his parents know about it. His parents was disappoint with him because of his behavior.

Therefore, I feel that too much hype is not beneficial. Especially for young generation.

I don't think i am living in matrix because the life style in matrix is different. Life in matrix is base on computer. We have to work according to computer which is control by some one else. My life move according to my response no one control my life. In the movie Matrix Neo and his team including moopheus they all are controlled by computer. If i have a choice to choose blue or red pill i prefer to have a blue pill. Taking a blue pill means living in ordinary place. From the day i was born i am here in my own world with my friends, family and siblings. I don't want to disappear from them. Specially from my parents who provide me a luxury life. They face too many ups and downs but never fail to fulfill our requirements. My wish is to stay with my parents as long as i can and take care of  them.

Most of people do not want freedom.

 I want freedom in my life. In my opinion freedom makes people more confident. Living freedom means living independent life. If we have freedom we can define what is the real life. According to my experience i can define real life as a combination of both comfort and uncomfort life through financially, emotionally and mentally. For me freedom exist  in my life from the day i am here in New york. living freedom life is not easy, but you will feel more better and proud of your self. You can make your own  identity. Back home i was totally dependent on my parents. My daily routine was home to school. My parents fulfill my all requirements. I don't need to worry about it. I don't need to work for income. My life was in heaven but never get satisfy as i get these days. I am here in N.Y from 4 years. At beginning it was really hard don't know what to do, everything was new. Lifestyle was totally different. As time pass-out i learn every thing. First 1-2 years was worse and then i get through it. Even though my life is stress and busy these days i am satisfy. No need to depend on my parents as i did it back home. I am a employee and student.I fell proud that i am living my life by my self.

The title essay "The Dangers Of Reality T.V" by Timothy sexton focused that reality tv is bad for many reasons. The author writes that reality shows mostly provide unwanted messages to the youth. Reality shows focused  "on competition, the value of image over ability, and the obsolescence of education." From my point of view how ever i prefer education rather than competition. We need knowledge to participate in competition. If we don't have knowledge than we can't participate in reality show like "who want to be millinoer". In this reality show they ask more about General Knowledge, Political etc. so how come that education is useless in reality show.
  Timothy mentions that reality T.v focused on competition and believe that competition is the main key of succeeded or main way to earn more money in short period of time.It is true that in competition judges or public who gave vote, they looks more on out-fit rather than ability. It seems to me that personal out-fit or image play more important role in reality shows rather than ability.
   As reality shows give more important on competition and image they keep message to the youth that "education is completely unnecessary to fulfill American dream." It seems to me that education is the main key for succeeded. Even though student life is full of stress and painful, always work on assignments, test, exam, research but believe me it is a golden life. life we spent in school is a valuable time for us. In school we get chance to meet with different types of people. we get chance to make friends, every day we get chance to learn new lesson. we have a wonderful teachers in school. But if we have guts, guts to get in reality show like "Fear Factor" we will easily earn more money at short period of time. And don't need to face stress and pain as we have to do in education. Reality shows try to convince the society to believe in power of reality shows. And if someone asked question or argue about education then it's just come out that "well..... hey, i think who wants to marry an idol survivor who danced with a skating celebrity named Gotti is on."
   The tittle essay "The Dangers of Reality TV" was intersecting, and came to know how reality shows  focused on competition rather than education.
   I am disagree with the author's point of view that "education is completely unnecessary to fulfill the american dream." we need education in every stage of our life. Education gives us knowledge and a degree which possible get a better jobs in future. Even though education is a long processed to get successed but the wealth we earn from education remain us forever specially in america. Without education life is like a person without eye, blind.
   Comparing these essay with my own life i always prefer to have a better education rather then participating in competition.
   My sister is doing her RNA program in Laguardia community college. From very beginning she gives more important to education. Every semester she gives her 100% as a result she get better result in her exam. I learn from her that education is more important in our life. It leads us in bright future. Through education we get a degree and eventually we will get better job in future. I notice that people who have a nursing degree they have a high income and additionally they get benefits in future. They have there own identity with respect. So keeping these thing in my mind i am focusing in my education even though it's my beginning and difficult i'm doing my best i don't want to step back.
  We always keep in mind that reality TV shows give us entertainment. They never provide us any kind of degree, so education play important role in our life.

        The article "Truman Show Syndrome: why people think they're living in a reality show"  by
        Colin Lecher focus on the effect that people living in reality show.
            One of the question was asked by a New Yorker article on the "Truman Show" that "What do you do when delusions and paranoia look an awful lot like real world?" People always keep believe in reality show and how the show make them famous. But they never realize that the life in reality show are not true. people in reality show have to live with unknown drama. They never get chance to live in normal life.
          "Truman Show Syndrome is a new phenomenon, but delusions of type are not. People have always imagine things that are." It's true that development in technology leads to change in delusions. Lecher mentions that "in the nineteen-forties, the Japanese controlled American minds with radio waves; in the fifties, the Soviets accomplished this with satellites; in the seventies, the C.I.A. implanted computer chips into people brains. And today's delusion-fuel?"
            Based on "Truman Show" i agree that the reality show really make us sick. It makes our life living in a prisoner.
           I feel Truman life in "Truman Show" is related with one of my friend's life. who was living in unreal world as Truman did in his show. she was unknown for things going around her. she was a nice person. she loves to help people.And she always respect and trust her parents. But all the certain she totally change, since she  was suffering from her unknown life. That when she was kid she was engaged with a guy who was 30 years old. And soon she will going to marry with that guy. Her parents never let know her about her engaged and up coming event, until she fell suspicious.when she came to know that her suspicious came true, she was really shocked. she never realize that her parents will do this with her. At end she decided to skip from unreal world which she never know about that and neither she believe on it. she mention me that she is out from prison now. And she is living in real world. I notice that she never try to trust people which she did before. since from that incident the words trust go away from her mind.
              Title article "Truman Show Syndrome" was most educational. I learn that people in reality show are being suffering from fack life.

The Truman 24 hours live show, based on Truman real life. Truman was been captured in camera from the day he was born. The hidden camera keep follow him in every stage of his life. His life was run by producer christof and his team. Supported by his family, paid wife and his childhood best friend. To whom he Trust and share everything and feel comfortable. Their friendship was not only base on friendship they was like brotherhood. This was unknown for Truman. Poor Truman always blame himself for his dad death. He think he kill his dad because of his stubborn. In the same time he is always willing to visit Fiji, place where his love was there. But as show must go on, Christof make multi mess condition upon transportation which was impossible for him to visit there.
 There are certain capture that I really feel christof and the television network are similar to god. In a show, accident occurred in water where Truman lost his dad. In my belief water, fire and wind they are not exist by man. They are god gifted and exist by only nature. We human being can’t do anything for this stuff. But here in show, in order from christof and with the help from technology television network create really heavy wind and big storm killed his dad.  Eventually playing with universal truth, at night he make the world bright and sunny, in search of Truman.
 The exploitation occurred in ocean may lead real death of Truman’s dad. But it was not by Mother Nature (by God) like sandy or hurricane. He was saving. There was a rescue to save him.
