Grammar correction

1.- How they could passthrough all that problems in a reduced time.

- The error here is the word ¨That¨, in this case we use the word ¨Those¨

2.- Or even how to dress were things that ¨migrants¨ have to do otherwise the people look at them as rare people.

- Here we have two errors, the first one is the word have, that should be Had. The second error is the word Rare, in this case ase we are talking about people we say Weird people.

3.- The words Dress, Him, and speak are in singular, in this case as we are talking about people and not only a person, we use plural. The words should be this: Dresses, Them and Speaks.

4.- The word at in the phrase: such at the local times, should be As.

                                                A very representative Image of what was happening
                                                With Dr jekyll. As we can see his second personality
                                                (Mr. Hyde) was evil.

Finally the second assignment was the following one:

A: Two inches taller, a little thiner, different jaw line, hair line and change of the colour of eyes.

2. Why does the "other entity" get so angry at Dr. Reimer (the female psychiatrist)?

Clip 2: 19.48 - 20.55

3. What "change of personality" takes place when Dr Jackman is eating with his kids?
A: He suddenly turned more agressive.

4. Why do you think Dr Jackman is so surprised at what happened?

Clip 3 (at the zoo) 23.24 - 26.10

5. How does Dr Jackman realise that "Hyde" is awake? 
A: Because he gets a kind of "Blackouts" and then he awakes and notice that he is in other place.

I personally think that the last week we learned some concepts that are necesary to know when going to London, as we also did a "Wikia" entrance of two themes, London in Victorian Times and XXI century London, This helped me to understand more of the London culture.

Bias in Media

 This week we learned alot of things, first of all we learned what BIAS mean, then after we learned  the meaning of BIAS we started connecting this term with the IB topic we are covering, which is Mass media and communication .As we see in the following image you get that media and the BIAS are confusing the people with the amount of different points of view to the same new they are showing.

Next we learned how the BIAS is used in the typical mass media, like TV, Radio, Magazines, Newspapers, etc...
We also learned the kind that BIAS is used in this forms of Mass media particularly in News, there's eight kinds that BIAS can be in news, theres: Bias through selection and omission, Bias through placement, Bias by headline, Bias by word choice or tone, Bias by photos, captions and camera angles, Bias through use of names and titles, Bias through statistics and crowd counts and finally Bias by source control.
Finally at the end of the week we did a reading  comprehension to prepare the next week's test.

The conclusion i can make is that, theres so much places where the bias is involved, this last days i try to get how media uses the media in the news, all mornings i watch TV and i notice that theres alot of information that is influenced by BIAS, the TV channels like Chilevision, TVN or Canal 13, ALWAYS use BIAS, they modificate this so the person, or people get watched like a good, or like a bad person. The most clear and concrete example for what im saying is the case of Ines Perez, she is a normal mother that gets interviewed by a Chilevision's reporter and he decides to show just the bad part of the video, she got bullied by the media and the social networks just because Chilevision edited the video to get a bad point of view from people at their homes.


EDITED  video of Ines Perez:




After this video you start thinking, she is a really bad person, how can he discriminate like that. BUT then you see this:




And then you say... How can the media adulterate the information like that.
This at my point of view is the best example to show how media uses BIAS every single day.

Your bank has decided to create bank accounts specially designed for teenagers in middle school and high school.  

Write a blog entry in which you explain what special features this bank account should have in order to be attractive to teenagers, what is a teenagers incentive to buy the product, what type of advertisement you would create and for which medium, and when/where specifically would you place this ad in order for teenagers to see it and want to open a bank account? 

Include pictures, links, or videos in your blog post where appropriate. 

I think one of the best incentives for the teenagers is to offer them a free product, discount or something that can call the attention of them, theres a commercial of "Banco Santander" that shows a kid talking to his father, when the kid see a advertisement on the news paper that says that if you make client of Santander you will get a free Iphone 4, this is one of the greatest advertisement that you can show a kid, or a teenager, since they think that you only need to sign a contract you will get instantly the Iphone, but it is not that easy, sometimes they have other terms that they don't show at TV Commercials, so definitely you will get the teenager's attention, but that is not going to make you get them as client, since they will read the contract and they will see the other terms and conditions. A great advertisement should show all the things as they are, with all the details and conditions of the offer. A very good commercial that laugh of the other bank's terms and what they show is this one from Ally Bank.

This is a great commercial and is not hard that teenagers get the idea of it, a good commercial should look like this one, because as a bank they are showing the other bank's bad things that can do if you don't read well the contracts. I personally think TV advertisement is the best way to advertise a product or service and one of the best hours to place this advertisement on TV is near 22:00 PM because thats the hour that most of the teenagers are watching TV, this can be also published in Facebook, in the Advertising area, because i can assure that more of the 90% of the teenagers between 10 to 25 years old have an account on Facebook.
