What Would You Do When You Speak Spanish
I would like to learn how to speak Spanish. I took lessons in highschool but I remember almost none of it. It would be very beneficial to me, as I work with the public in a city that has a lot of Hispanics. And I’ve always wanted to learn a language. There are countless recources on the internet and apps that can teach you how to speak different languages. I know several people who speak Spanish quite fluently. And if needs be, I could take a college class. I would like to learn it within the next few years.
My use of media isn’t too bad. I don’t have accounts to most of the social media forums that most people use. I set up a facebook account a few months ago because many of my childhood friends have moved away to college and I want to keep in touch with them. I probably could watch a little less CBS, but as a whole, I don’t use too much media.

I always have a song stuck in my head. If I am not working, I have earbuds in my ears. I think that it probably has an effect on my life. I have always been musically minded, but over the years, it has become a shield or a safety blanket. Having earbuds in is kind of a social cue that the person doesn’t want to be bothered. But as a result I have fewer meaningful conversations with people. I live in a bubble and I am insulated from the world. As such, I would suppose I have less opportunity to live, love, and serve.
I am going to try to decrease my music input. I am going to have my music off whenever I am downstairs with my family. And I will not plug in the earbuds when I am at lunch at work. There are always conversations to be had, if I just unplug a little

    Many teens and young adults have personal music players, such as MP3s, that allow them to take their favorite music with them wherever they go. Such devices require earbuds, and users can often be seen with at least one earbud firmly in place, listening to music as they go about their daily business. Some critics of these music players, however, argue that users tend to be isolated in the world of their music. Users, these critics say, do not really pay attention to what is going on around them; and they behave rudely when they carry on conversations with others while wearing at least one earbud.…

    In a Hispanic household the language that is spoke is considered Spanish. Under the “umbrella” term Hispanic you have a breakdown of the different types of Hispanics such as Mexicans, Puertoricans, Dominicans, Cubans and Panamanians that speak Spanish but their words have similar yet different meanings. Usually in an older generation Hispanic household the language is spoken by everyone including the children. When speaking to outsiders the Hispanic family prefers to speak Spanish unless the other individual does not understand it. It is very hard for the older generation of Hispanics to attempt to speak to the new generation because the newer generation speaks English. Many older generation Hispanics were never really taught how to speak English.…

    In my opinion, I’m a part of the Hispanic “cultural language” who are hardworking, friendly, very religious and very respectful. I think this emerged when I was little and evolved as I grew up and even now. I was taught to thank god every day. During my childhood I spent a lot of time with my grandma who is like the friendliest person I know. No matter where we are, she makes a friend. My mom was always working and she taught me to get far in life I need to work for it. I think this cultural language does work in my favor to social structure because it has taught be good morals and…

    I believe that the purpose of my media audit was to take our initial idea of what we believed our media usage was and to measure and compare it to our actual quantified results. I believe this was excellent exercise to carry out in order to observe how much Media affects our everyday lives. Our society in America bases a large part of our adolescent learning process on what we acquire from outside sources. Therefore, to analyze, where the basis of many of adolescents’ perspectives derive from, was exceptionally insightful.…
