In the movie "The Matrix" Neo, a computer programmer needs to make a choice, take the blue pill which he'll remain in the same world and it's not real or take the red pill which is the one that will show him the real world and the knowledge. If i were in Neo's position my choice would be the red pill because who wouldn't like to be in the real world. The reasons are that the knowledge i will never learn being in a fake world where humans would be living in a fantasy world and nothing will change by taking the blue pill, everything will remain the same by machines controlling the humans.
The red pill is the one that will take you to the real world; therefore, everyone could have knowledge. Having knowledge is an important things in our lives, without knowledge the world won't workthe way it is now. The knowledge is the power. Nowadays, people who has the power of knowledge are the one that succes in the real world. For instance, Steve Jobs a drop out college, a man who never finishes high school and now in these days is the CEO of the apple, he is a good sample of how having a knowledge we can succes in the real life.
The other reason why i will take the red pill is because living in a fantasy world or a world of lies where humans are commanded by others or machines, i don't think that it will be helpful. As an example of how is living without knowing the real world is the show called "The Truman Show" where there is this guy whose name is Truman and since he born, he was filmed 24/7 without realizing that where he was living was a fantasy world because everything was perfect, no problems, no bad people, everything was a routine but at the end he found the truth and decided to leave the fantasy world and go to the real world which is something similar as the pills, take the blue one( fantasy) or take the red one (real world).

Blog Entry 12: Reflection
I think this class has been very challenging since the beginning because using the blogs is something that i had never done before but i'm getting use to it but still having some little issues. However, the class has helped me to improve my level of writing and listening but i know that i need to work more so i can be ready for the final and move to the next level. Also i need to work a little more in my grammar. Another thing that has become more challenging and i know i'm very week is when i have to write a 400 words essay or more. Sometimes when i write an essay i lack of vocabulary, so i need to really work on that.

According to the passage "The dangers of reality t.v" the author mention how harmful is the reality t.v in our lives. There are many reasons of why these shows are affecting us as a society, "the importance of competition, the value of image over ability and the obsolesceence of education" are the main points that the author states and i agree because reality t.v uses those messages to make us think that is the way to success in life.
Nowadays reality tv is everywhere, actors making money, producers making money while us, the viewers are watching and learning things that we belief are true or we think is the way of doing it to success in life. For instance, the importance of competition is not the only key to success, there different ways to succed in life such as finishing college, getting a good job, having a family and doing the right things; for example, my father is a person and good sample to know that not only competition is god to success. He studied, then he finished and work hard to have what he always wanted, a family and a place where he feels secure. Now, he is retired and enjoying the rest of his life without being in competitions.
Another thing that reality tv uses and it is wrong is the image over the ability. There is no way that you can success in life only because your image. However, reality shows make you belief that without a good image you will never be a successful person. The truth is that good image, bad image, good ability, bad ability you can still being a successful person if you propose to yourself what you wanted to be and reach the goal with effort.
The last thing that i could say is the most harmful message that reality tv give us as spectators is that education is not necessary to reach the american dream. That is the worst thing that they could ever show or say it because the education is an important manner that everybody needs to succed in life. For example, i have a cousin who always dream of being in those reality shows because he says once he makes moneuy there is no need to go to school or work, that's how powerful these reality tv shows are, they are making children change their minds from good thoughts to the wrong thoughts.
In conclusion i believe that reality tv shows are not only sending bad messages to us but also they are making children change their minds in different ways and what they don't know is that children are the future of the world.What they should be showing is how to become more educated or show the different ways to succed in life with real events or examples.

Claim: the matrix film is tyring to show us how technology will interfere in our lives if we over use it.
Reasons: have work done by robots, using computers for investigations, the humans will be more useless.
Evidence: nowadays, technology is so advanced that companies want to use in the future robots that could do the job of humans and they are expecting even a better work than humans. Also in these days computers do the work for us, everything is easy, all we have to do is write what we want to know about and everything appears just with one click. As a result of the use of technology, humans will be useless and the world would be depending in technology instead.
