terror, terrorism and terrrorist.

This article is about the correct use of words in journalism, the author says that its not only to use the correct words, is to use the ones people know, because they can interpretate in another way.

The person that makes the question, wanted to know if it was correct to describe the attack of the United States as "terror attack", because they are not aloud to use "terrorism attack", I think it is only because United States did it, if the ones who attacked would be Iraqis, for example in the twin towers attack, that would be terrorism.

The problem of this words as the reading says, is that they are too loaded with value judgments, so it´s kind of dangerous to write in a certain context. Mr. Steels respond him to use the first rules, whit the most easy meanings, to all people can understand. And says: "Terror" has several definitions, including "intense, overpowering fear...the ability to instill intense fear...violence promoted by a group to achieve or maintain supremacy." Terrorism is defined in my dictionary as "the systematic use of terror, violence, and intimidation to achieve an end." So referring to things that happen the last week, he consider correct to use that kind of words.

I was thinking about the Ecuador´s new law of communication, I´m studding journalism and I am very worried about the changes that are going to be part of my work. I don´t want to work by pressure, if I say something the government don´t accept I will have a punishment. why?

When something is forbidden it’s because there will be a punishment, the law wants to create an institution that is going to “regulate and punish” the medias. Do we really want to work with frighten?, where is my freedom to say and investigate things? Is it democracy? If most of the communication channels are from the government, how can we investigate with freedom, whit no punishment?

There must be changes, but these have to improve the journalism, the investigation, not to go back in the time of no freedom of speech, we have to look the reality whith critic eyes, not to be sleeping and accept all that is imposed to us.

Everybody have listened at least once about cancer, this disease has affected people all around the world. But the most painful and difficult part, is when it happens to you or to someone you love, ¿how we should act? ¿how support people in this case? ¿how to overcome to this very difficult situation?

First of all it’s important to know that it can happen to everyone, and that anybody is safe of it. This disease is a very difficult process; it needs time and a lot of comprehension in the family. In the moment we discover it, the first thing most people think it´s: why it has happened to me?, it should be wrong, but al last, we learn to live with it, to overcome it.

Quimiotheraphy it’s very difficult proces because of the consequences, that are the hardest part. The family must support that person whit a lot of love and patience, when people suffers of cancer their mood turns really bad, one time they are happy, but other they start to become really depress, its not easy dealing with dead, so we have to wait in peace, thats the meaning of patience.

Not matter the result, the most important thing is that the family shoul stay together and fight. And remember that dead its the only thing in our lifes we will have for sure.

About the movie.

When I saw the movie “ben x”, in www.youtube.com, It´s a story of a young boy that can not comunicate with other people since he was little. He has autism, a genetic desorder of the brain that afects the hability of comunication, talk and act. It develops between 2 and 4 years. Since he was little, Ben have had a lot of problems with his school friends, because he was “wear” and diferent.The problem with autism is that other people don´t accept the situation and treat him in a very cruel way, so he decided to lie and make the others think he was dead, and that he had sucide him selve.

When people thought he was dead and when they were in the church, a video was published and show how his school clasmates treat them so bad. It makes me think about how can we kill somebody´s soul only by talking. Ben was a boy that only needs a bit of comprehencion and love. He find love in a computer game, whit a real girl. But because of his problem he cant get in touch with her.

At the end of the movie, he stay with the girl, but only in his mind. I think it happens much of the time in our relationships, because we dream in a perfect boy not a real one.
