Work and Happiness

Reach For The Stars!
Can we really be happy at work?  Well, if we're talking from a personal view, I cannot answer that, considering I have never had an official job.  I do believe that someone can be very happy at work if they do what they love.  Not everyone has that opportunity though.  For example, we may get tired of chasing our dream if we don't end up seeing any results, and if we need a job to pay the bills then we have to settle.  The key is not to settle though.  If in the long run it makes you happy, then why not continue chasing your dream?  I believe that everyone should find their passion and what they really love and go for it and don't stop.  You can't listen to what other people tell you about your dream.  It's your dream for a reason.

Unit 3: Advertising

Advertisements: the Reality
Advertisements are almost always very creative.  They make you think and question what they're really about.  But they're a trap!  Advertisements are changing our behavior and making it into an awful thing.  We are influenced to buy certain things just because an advertisement says to.  Advertisements use repetition and individualism to persuade us, and those are just two of many ways.  We need to stop relying on the false images advertisements are providing for us.  Although advertisers can't alter the facts, they can most definitely alter the pictures they choose.  Everything they use for the pictures are real, they just make them look a bit more appealing for advertisements than they do in real life.
