Why people think they are living in a reality show




                                 Why people think they are living in areality show



            Our culture is based in an un real world in many wayswe dont even notice. We can relate the film " the truman show which director is Peter Weir in 1998, with  our own world. This film is exactly like a "Big brother show" or any social network, this both things can show the reaction of the humans. We all like o see tge reaction of somebody else, but not from ourselves.  the good thing for some people is that we are able to disguise our reality to show what we want to show to the world.

            First of all. when we watch a TV show like "the big brother" we like to see what is going to happen the next day , because we identified with the show. we see that they have our same reactions when we have stress. the group of people in this kind of TV show, try to live with strangers only for money/ in the real live we don't haveto live with this people, but treat with strangers all the time. For example, when we get a new job or go to school. we don't have the option opf only leave the game if we don't feel comfortable, but we have the option of create our world with the internet.

          we know that it is hard to be content with what we have, we know that we can not change the real life, but what about the virtual one? we all know that sometimes we don't look like a super star as we try to show on facebook or as smart as we try to be on twitter. We try to be a famous people with what we write or show on the virtual world. we try to espress ourselves with words from oters to let the people think we wrote it. we write that we are special people, intelligent, that we make the world go around, just to impress others with things that we know have a big part of lie, but we enjoy shoing up about everything wwe have or not,, and whem we leave the virtual world we fell rare and despair. that is why every single person have social networks, because we need to thing that our fake life has part of reality.


           The "truman show" can not be real but we all need a minute of that TV show. we wish to have a perfect life like "truman" for a while, that is why we create the social networks, because we need a part of peace in our life. we would like to stop caring about our problems and start caring about our happeness. I don't want  to have an easy life as truman, because i like the fact that i can obtain my goals with hard work and education, i would like to rest a weekend in truman's world, but not live ther forever. if i were in his position to decide between both worlds, I would rather this hard world than the fake one. that is why i destroyed all my social networks, because i need to have my feet on the ground, i don't want to disguise my reality, but enjoy it the way it is. it can sound boring, but i love my real life,

           In conclusion, our culture give us the option to create our own world, we can use social networks or watch crazy TV shows like "Truman show" but it depends on each person to live an imaginary world or enjoy working hard to be the person we really want to be and make this difficult world in our almost perfect world.

1. The Perfect World

1. The Perfect World
Cristof creates what he considers a “perfect world” for Truman to live “happily ever after.”





How does Seahaven compare to your world in terms of family life, neighborhood life, work life, and leisure time? 
 
Sehaven make us visualize our apparently live, we think everybody has that easy live, we think that only us have problems, and sometimes we wish we don't have to care about them anymore. All of us would have a little part of Seahaven in our lives. People say lies for the same reason, because the truth can hurt, and we don't want to hurt somebody with the harsh reality, we disguise the reality as Cristof did. Seahaven can be compared with "Neverland" the world in which every child wants to live because they don't have to grow up, care about any problems or try to survive, because they are "prisoners of a perfect world.  In the real world we don't have a choice between the easy and difficult live.
 
Would you choose to live in Cristof’s world. Why or why not?
I would not choose that fake live, because i prefer be hurt with the truth than live a life full of lies. i want to fall a thousand of times and learn from my mistakes, I think it is better to feel the happiness that you obtain by trying lots of times one thing, and you finally achieve what you wanted. That would never happen in Cristof's world, because everything was a boring routine. The protagonist didn't the have the option to decide by himself at the binging until Trueman decided to be in the real life. We have to make life as smooth as possible, in order to enjoy it even with its bad moments.
