Books

Tuesdays with Morrie:
I can relate a lot with this book because I have a professor who is my mentor. The relationship I have is almost the same as Mitch Albom with Morrie Schwartz. Morrie teaches Mitch life greatest lessons, while mine teaches me to see the world of possibilities with the help of an education. My professor made me realized my goals in life through frequent visit to his office. He had recently passed away of a sudden heart attack.

A Child called 'It':
This book and its sequence open up a whole new world to me. A world of abusive parents. Even though the phrase: Blood is thicker than water applies to this book, your own kin could actually eat up your whole childhood. However, the author would not let this curse be continuous down the generation. He would not go down the path whom his mother was and he broke the chain of abuse.

The E Myth Revisited:
This book is about business in the real world. How small business work out and how it does not. This book helped me get a better picture in my prospective business career. Which is to own my own business. That we should learn from businesses that fails and learn from those that are successful.

Media Impact

I propose a media research project on the relations between TV drama series and the sexual life of the society. I will do content analysis of recent decade(the 21st century) TV drama series, on how it has impacted the sexual implications to individuals. I will be focusing more on how the people in the early 1900s who mainly seek monogamous sexual relationship to the openness of many sexual partners in modern times. I will be exploring how the sexual revolution come about from the impact of the Media with the help of comments from a few opinion leaders.
