I feel these traits would also help me greatly in pursuing a Communications degree at the University of Texas-Austin.

An issue of great importance to me is how media and its current portrayal of teenagers affects them. Issues like alcohol consumption, drug use, bullying, teenage pregnancy, violence, gangs, etc. are frequently shown on the airwaves, and often even on programs aimed at teenagers. Frequently, it even seems to be glamorized (as in many video games, such as the Grand Theft Auto series). This leads to a perception of these behaviors as “normal” and abstaining from them, by default, “abnormal”. This leads to peer pressure and pressure from society for teenagers (and others) to partake in such activities.

Ever since the use of social media proliferated, its impact on people and in diverse sectors of society have been the subject of research and discussion. Reading through various studies on the impact of social media to contemporary societies have exposed positive and negative outcomes.

It could always be affirmed that any excessive fixation to a particular activity, person, object, or ...

The world has rules, which make everything to function.

Every little thing!
The names of those rules are: math and physics; and the world spins around them.
These have been my academic interests since a young age, being interested in deciphering what these world rules talked about, what orders they organize, for such perfection to occur every day, in every little thing that makes part of our life. More than that, Man has been able to constantly evolve and invent new applications for these rules, and even decipher new ones, unfolding new knowledge.
Following this same fascination, I have entered some extracurricular activities that would feed ...

The work of literature that surprised me the most when a child and has been carrying on its impact on me till this moment is Grimm’s Fairy Tales.

At the same time Grimm’s Fairy Tales provide the readers with a set of challenges every child faces ...

A rapid growth of technology did bring certain advantages and disadvantages to the modern world. However, I strongly believe (or at least I would like to think so) that there are not as many flaws in technological boom as most people suppose. Perhaps, we simply did not have enough time to adapt to all the dramatic changes that took place in the way we live.

Those experiences have brought the realization that a deeper appreciation of the power of PR would have saved that life I lost. I believe now that the way for me to regain that life is to become an expert in what destroyed it. After nine years in journalism I discovered that PR is the ...

How a recent world development impacted me?

Not a day passes these days that some news really hit you hard. How could I not miss Osama Bin Laden’s killing being splashed everywhere? It was on Yahoo news, CNN flashed it for days, talk shows, colleagues and friends suddenly found something to gloat around. It filled us a week’s quota on the social calendar. It brought poignant memories of the World Trade Center. I guess terrorism is a subject best left handled by the Administration. It left a nation scarred and the impact since 9/11 has been increased security especially at the airports, malls, tubes.
But if there ...

There has always been an urge for me to learn about different political structures and how political decisions are made.

Hence, in organizational websites, it is paramount that the the image the communication plan wants to project is clearly identified or set. Also, the target of the communication must be identified.
