She is my best friend my mother.

人的一生都聽到些什么
10歲的人生，要聽父母的訓誡。雖然很多兒女都嫌父母太嘮叨了。其實父母的嘮叨聲里，蘊藏了多少的愛心與希望！
20歲的人生，要聽朋友的談話。20歲的青年人，開口閉口都說“我朋友說的”、“我朋友告訴我的”。這時候朋友非常重要，但要牢記“近朱者赤，近墨者黑”。
30歲的人生，要聽情人的訴說。三十而立之年，父母的話不容易引起認同，朋友的意見也不容易相互影響，這時只有聽戀愛中的情人訴說，力量最大。但是，因為力量最大，更應(yīng)該謹慎，自己要知道何去何從。
40歲的人生，要聽社會的建議。人生到了40歲，依孔子所說，已經(jīng)是“不惑”之齡，但現(xiàn)代人生長在知識爆炸的時代，到了40歲還是要聽社會人士的建議。
50歲的人生，要聽妻兒的抱怨。50歲的人生，想讓妻兒高唱“丈夫真?zhèn)ゴ蟆薄ⅰ鞍职终鎮(zhèn)ゴ蟆辈⒉蝗菀住６鄶?shù)的丈夫都是聽妻兒的抱怨，嫌所賺的錢不夠多，不能買汽車洋房，所以50歲的男人，真的很難做。
60歲的人生，要聽大眾的批評。孔子說，60歲的人生，應(yīng)該是“耳順”的年齡。而現(xiàn)在的60歲，人生正好要聽社會大眾給予自己的批評。每天打開電視，臧否天下人物者，都是中老年人士。政治家、企業(yè)家到了這個年齡都要接受社會大眾的公評，所批評的內(nèi)容，除了才華、能力以外，道德更為重要。
70歲的人生，要聽自己的主張。70歲的人生，在社會里奮斗了五六十年，對社會的認知，對自己的了解，都有一定的程度，這個時候應(yīng)該聽聽自己的主張。70歲的人，還要把經(jīng)驗傳承，把自己的主張訴說給人聽，所謂“退而不休”，是其時也。
80歲的人生，要隨自然去留。人生到了80歲，甚至90歲、100歲，就不必計較人間壽命長短、有無得失，甚至連生死都不足掛懷，一切任憑自然的生命法則，隨緣自在。
The wholeness of life 健全的人生
Once a circle missed a wedge. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly, it admired the flowers along the way. It chatted with worms. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching. Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so happy. Now it could be whole, with nothing missing. It incorporated the missing piece into itself and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice flowers or talk to the worms. When it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.
The lesson of the story, I suggested, was that in some strange sense we are more whole when we are missing something. The man who has everything is in some ways a poor man. He will never know what it feels like to yearn, to hope, to nourish his soul with the dream of something better. He will never know the experience of having someone who loves him give him something he has always wanted or never had.
There is a wholeness about the person who has come to terms with his limitations, who has been brave enough to let go of his unrealistic dreams and not feel like a failure for doing so. There is a wholeness about the man or woman who has learned that he or she is strong enough to go through a tragedy and survive, she can lose someone and still feel like a complete person.
Life is not a trap set for us by God so that he can condemn us for failing. Life is not a spelling bee, where no matter how many words you’ve gotten right; you’re disqualified if you make one mistake. Life is more like a baseball season, where even the best team loses one third of its games and even the worst team has its days of brilliance. Our goal is to win more games than we lose.
When we accept that imperfection is part of being human, and when we can continue rolling through life and appreciate it, we will have achieved a wholeness that others can only aspire to. That, I believe, is what God asks of us—not “Be perfect”, not “Don’t even make a mistake”, but “Be whole.”
If we are brave enough to love, strong enough to forgive, generous enough to rejoice in another’s happiness, and wise enough to know there is enough l
ove to go around for us all, then we can achieve a fulfillment that no other living creature will ever know.
從前，一只圓圈缺了一塊楔子。它想保持完整，便四處尋找那塊楔子。由于不完整，所以它只能慢慢地滾動。一路上，它對花兒露出羨慕之色。它與蠕蟲談天侃地。它還欣賞到了陽光之美。圓圈找到了許多不同的楔子，但沒有一件與它相配。所以，它將它們統(tǒng)統(tǒng)棄置路旁，繼續(xù)尋覓。終于有一天，它找到了一個完美的配件。圓圈是那樣地高興，現(xiàn)在它可以說是完美無缺了。它裝好配件，并開始滾動起來。現(xiàn)在它已成了一個完美的圓圈，所以滾動得非常快，以至于難以觀賞花兒，也無暇與蠕蟲傾訴心聲。當圓圈意識到因快奔急騁使它失去了原有的世界時，它不禁停了下來，將找到的配件棄置路旁，又開始慢慢地滾動。
我覺得這個故事告訴我們，從某種奇妙的意義上講，當我們失去了一些東西時反而更加完整。一個擁有一切的人其實在某些方面是個窮人。他永遠也體會不到什么是渴望、期待及如何用美好夢想滋養(yǎng)自己的靈魂。他也永遠不會有這樣一種體驗：一個愛他的人送給他某種他夢寐以求的或者從未擁有過的東西意味著什么。
人生的完整性在于知道如何面對缺陷，如何勇敢地摒棄不現(xiàn)實的幻想而又不以此為缺憾。人生的完整性還在于學會勇敢面對人生悲劇而繼續(xù)生存，能夠在失去親人后依然表現(xiàn)出完整的個人風范。
人生不是上帝為譴責我們的缺陷而給我們布下的陷阱。人生也不是一場拼字游戲比賽，不管你拼出多少單詞，一旦出現(xiàn)了一個錯誤，你便前功盡棄。人生更像是一個棒球賽季，即使最好的球隊也會輸?shù)?/3的比賽，而最差的球隊也有春風得意的日子。我們的目標就是多贏球，少輸球。
當我們接受不完整性是人類本性的一部分，當我們不斷地進行人生滾動并能欣賞其價值時，我們就會獲得其他人僅能渴望的完整人生。我相信這就是上帝對我們的要求：不求“完美”，也不求“永不犯錯誤”，而是求得人生的“完整”。如果我們能夠勇敢地去愛，堅強地去寬容，大度地去為別人的快樂而高興，明智地理解身邊充滿愛，那么我們就能取得別的生物所不能取得的成就。
Find Your Big Rocks Of Life 尋找你人生的大石頭
One day, an expert in time management was speaking to a group of students and, to drive home a point, used an illustration those students will never forget.
As he stood in front of the group of overachievers he said, “OK, time for a quiz.” He pulled out a one-gallon, wide-mouth jar and set it on the table in front of him. He also produced about a dozen fist-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar. When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, “Is this jar full?”
Everyone in the class yelled, “Yes.” The time management expert replied, “Really?” He reached under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel. He dumped some gravel in and shook the jar, causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the spaces between the big rocks. He then asked the group once more, “Is this jar full?”
By this time the class was on to him. “Probably not,” one of them answered. “Good!” he replied. He reached under the table and brought out a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in the jar and it went into all of the spaces left between the rocks and the gravel. Once more he asked the question, “Is this jar full?”
“No!” the class shouted. Once again he said, “Good.” Then he grabbed a pitcher of water and began to pour it in until the jar was filled to the brim. Then he looked at the class and asked, “What is the point of this illustration?” One eager student raised his hand and said, “The point is, no matter how full your schedule is, if you try really hard you can always fit some more things in it!”
“No,” the speaker replied, “that’s not the point. The truth this illustration teaches us is if you don’t put the big rocks in first, you’ll never get them in at all. What are the ‘big rocks’ in your life? Time with your loved ones, your education, your dreams, a worthy cause, teaching or mentoring others? Remember to put these big rocks in first or you’ll never get them in at all.”
一天，時間管理專家為一群學生講課。他現(xiàn)場做了演示，給學生們留下了一生都難以磨滅的印象。
站在那些高智商高學歷的學生前面，他說：“我們來做個小測驗”，拿出一個一加侖的廣口瓶放在他面前的桌上。隨后，他取出一堆拳頭大小的石塊，仔細地一起放進玻璃瓶里。直到石塊高出瓶口，再也放不下了，他問道：“瓶子滿了？”
所有學生應(yīng)道：“滿了！”時間管理專家反問：“真的？”他伸手從桌下拿出一桶礫石，倒了一些進去，并敲擊玻璃瓶壁使礫石填滿下面石塊的間隙。“現(xiàn)在瓶子滿了嗎？”他第二次問道。
但這一次學生有些明白了，“可能還沒有”，一位學生應(yīng)道。“很好！”專家說。他伸手從桌下拿出一桶沙子，開始慢慢倒進玻璃瓶。沙子填滿了石塊和礫石的所有間隙。他又一次問學生：“瓶子滿了嗎？”
“沒滿！”學生們大聲說。他再一次說：“很好！”然后他拿過一壺水倒進玻璃瓶直到水面與瓶口齊平，然后抬頭看著學生，問道：“這個例子說明什么？”一個心急的.學生舉手發(fā)言：“無論你的時間多少，如果你確實努力，你可以做更多的事情！”
>
“不！”時間管理專家說，“那不是它真正的意思，這個例子告訴我們：如果你不是先放大石塊，那你就再也不能把它放進瓶子里了。那么，什么是你生命中的大石頭呢？也許是你的道德感、你的夢想？還有你的一切，記得先去處理這些大石塊，否則，一輩子你都不能做！”
The Splashes Of Life 生命的波紋
我有個基本觀點：自由即選擇，選擇即負責。
為什么選擇即負責？因為任何選擇都會產(chǎn)生結(jié)果。結(jié)果可能是好的，也可能不好。但不論好與不好，都得有人兜著或扛著。誰來兜著，誰來扛著？只能是做出選擇的人。所以選擇即負責。
既然選擇即負責，那么，你在進行選擇時，就只能服從自己的內(nèi)心沖動。想想看，如果標準是別人的，埋單的卻是自己，豈不虧大發(fā)了？更何況，別人幫你做的選擇，能保證你的幸福嗎？按照別人的標準去活，有意思嗎？
同樣，既然選擇即負責，那就不能只往好處想。好處是任何人都不會拒絕的，需要擔心的是不好的后果。這種后果，我們可能承擔得了，也可能承擔不了。承擔不了，就只能放棄。承擔得了，則何妨堅持？
要知道：遷就世俗，一時無憂；違背內(nèi)心，永遠痛苦。
所以，選擇的時候，只用想兩條：一、這是不是我非常想要或想做的？二、如果后果嚴重，兜不兜得了，扛不扛得住？如果兩條都沒問題，那就要！
人生能得幾回“二”，何不瀟灑“二”一回？
選擇已定，則任人批評。他人的批評能時時提醒我們：你是有人反對的，你也是會犯錯誤的，因此你沒有任何理由自以為是，得意忘形！
結(jié)果，我們就會少犯錯誤，甚至不犯錯誤。
也因此，我們要感謝批評者和反對派。
總之，決策時不妨“二”，執(zhí)行和操作卻一定要小心翼翼，認認真真，如臨深淵，如履薄冰。一旦功成名就，更必須“無一日敢懈怠，無一事敢馬虎”。

The Splashes Of Life 生命的波紋
There is a famous Sioux Indian story handed down from generation to generation:
The grandfather took his grandson to the fish pond on the farm when the boy was about seven, and he told the boy to throw a stone into the water. He told the boy to watch the circles created by the stone. Then he asked the boy to think of himself as that stone.
“You may create lots of splashes in your life, but the waves that come from those splashes will disturb the peace of all your fellow creatures,” he said.
“Remember that you are responsible for what you put in your circle and that circle will also touch many other circles.”
“You will need to live in a way that allows the good that comes from your circle to send the peace of that goodness to others. The splash that comes from anger or jealousy will send those feelings to other circles. You are responsible for both.” That was the first time the boy realized that each person creates the inner peace or discord that flows out into the world.
We cannot create world peace if we are riddled with inner conflict, hatred, doubt, or anger. We radiate the feelings and thoughts that we hold inside, whether we speak them or not. Whatever is splashing around inside of us is spilling out into the world, creating beauty or discord with all other circles of life.
這是蘇族印第安人部落中流傳的一個古老的故事。
在男孩七歲那年，他的祖父帶他來到田邊的一個魚塘。他讓男孩丟一顆石子到水中，并囑咐男孩仔細觀察石子所激起的水波。然后他叫男孩把自己想象成那顆石子。
他說：“在生命的水面上，你也許能激起許多波紋，而你所激起的波紋也會打破別人的平靜生活。”
“要謹記，對你所激起的波紋中所包含的東西負責，因為這些東西會接觸、影響到許多他人的波紋。”
“你應(yīng)當努力將自己波紋中的平和寧靜傳播給他人。當然，如果你的波紋中帶有憤怒、嫉妒，別人也會受到你的影響，因此，你要對它們負責。”這是男孩第一次了解到，每個人心中的安寧抑或不和，都會傳播給整個世界。
如果我們自己內(nèi)心被沖突、仇恨、疑慮或者憤怒所糾纏，自然無論我們內(nèi)心激起的是何種波紋，它們都會被傳向外界，與別人的生命波紋共同激起美麗，抑或是不和諧。
就不能給世界帶來平和寧靜。無論我們是否說出心中的感覺和思緒，我們都在向外界傳播它們。
We Are on a Journey 人在旅途
Wherever you are, and whoever you may be, there is one thing in which you and I are just alike at this moment, and in all the moments of our existence: we are not at rest; we are on a journey. Our life is a movement, a tendency, a steady, ceaseless progress towards an unseen goal. We are gaining something, or losing something, everyday. Even when our position and our character seem to remain precisely the same, they are changing. For the mere advance of time is a change. It is not the same thing to have a bare field in January and in July. The season makes the difference. The limitations that are childlike in the child are childish in the man.
Everything that we do is a step in one direction or another. Even the failure to do something is in itself a deed. It sets us forward or backward. The action of the negative pole of magnetic needle is just as real as the action of the positive pole. To decline is to accept-the other alternative.
Are you neater to your port today than you were yesterday? Yes,-you must be a little nearer to some port or other; for since your ship was first launched upon the sea of life, you have never been still for a single moment; the sea is too deep, you could not find an anchorage if you would; there can be no pause until you come into port.[NextPage]
參考譯文有三個版本，供英語愛好者斟酌學習：
譯文一：
無論你在哪里，也無論你是誰，不管是此時此刻，還是在我們生命中的任何瞬間，有一件事對你我來說是恰巧相同的：我們不是在休息，我們是在一次旅途中。我們的生活是一種運動、一種趨勢，是向一個看不見的目標穩(wěn)定而不停地前進。每一天，我們會贏得某些東西，或者會失去某些東西。甚至當我們的位置和我們的性格看起來和以前完全相同時，他們事實上仍然在改變。對于一塊荒地來說，一月和七月是不一樣的，季節(jié)會造成不同。能力上的缺陷對孩子來說是一種可愛，但對大人而言就是一種幼稚的表現(xiàn)了。
我們做的每一件事都是朝一個或者另一個方向邁進的一步。甚至“沒有做任何事”本身就是一種行為，它使我們前進或者后退。一根磁針陰極和陽極的作用都是一樣的真實；拒絕也是一種接受——這都是二擇一的選擇。
你今天比昨天更接近你的港口了嗎？是的——你必須接近某個港口或其他港口。自從你被拋入生活之海，你的船一分鐘都沒有靜止過。大海是如此之深，你不可能找到一個拋錨的地方，因此你也不可能停下來，直到你抵達自己的港口。
譯文二：
無論你在何處，無論你是何人，此刻，而且在我們生命的每時每刻，你與我有一點是類似的。我們不是在休息，我們在旅途中。生命是一種運動，一種趨勢，一個穩(wěn)步、持續(xù)的通往一個未知目標的過程。每天，我們都在獲得，或失去。盡管我們的地位和性格看起來好像一點都沒變，但是它們在變化。因為時光的流逝本身是一種變化。在一月和七月?lián)碛幸黄汃さ耐恋厥遣煌模羌竟?jié)本身帶來了變化。孩童時可愛的缺點到了成人時便成了幼稚。
我們做的每件事都是邁向一個或另外一個方向，甚至“什么都沒做”本身也是一種行為，它讓我們前進或倒退。一棵磁針的陰極的作用與陽極是一樣的。拒絕即接受??接受反面。
你今天比昨天更加接近你的目標了嗎？是的，你肯定是離一個或另一個碼頭或更近一些了。因為自從你的小船從生命的海洋上啟航時，你沒有哪一刻是停止的。大海是這樣深，你想拋錨時找不到地方。在你駛?cè)氪a頭之前，你不可能停留。
譯文三：
無論你身在何處，也無論你是何人，此時此刻，有一件事于你我而言都是相同的，而且只要我們活著，這個共同點就存在。那就是，我們并非停留不前，而是人在旅途。我們的生命是一種運動，一種趨勢，是向一個看不見的目標無休止地奮進。
每天，我們都有所得，也有所失。即便我們的位置和角色看似與原來無異，但實際上也是時時變化的。因為時間的推移本身就是一種變化。對于同一片荒地來說，在一月和七月是截然不同的，季節(jié)造成了這種差異。能力的局限在孩子身上被視為天真爛漫，而在大人身上則是幼稚的的表現(xiàn)。我們所做的每件事情都是朝著某個方向邁進了一步。即使是失敗本身，也是有所得的，失敗可以催人奮進，也可以讓人一蹶不振。磁針負極的作用與正極的作用都是一樣真實的。拒絕也是一種接受，只不過是另一種選擇罷了。
你今天比昨天更接近你的港口了么？是的，你肯定離某個港口更近了。因為自從你的航船從生命的海洋上啟航的那一刻開始，你沒有哪一刻是靜止的。大海如此深邃，即便你想停泊，也找不到地方；只有當你駛?cè)胱约旱母劭冢悴拍芡Ｖ瓜聛怼?/p>

英文作文 篇5
Life in the city is very different from life in the villages and on the farms. People in large cities are much more careful to respect the privacy of the individual. Sometimes this feeling seems to be one of indifference, but it is a convention of city life to curb one's curiosity about the personal affairs of strangers. Villagers and farmers are likely to show a great deal of interest in all their neighbors. Opportunities for bright young people are greater in the cities and there has been a steady stream of hopeful jobseekers from the villages and farms to the large metropolitan areas.
城市的生活與鄉(xiāng)村和農(nóng)場的生活有很大的不同。在大城市的人更小心地尊重個人隱私。有時這種感覺似乎是一種冷漠，但這是一種城市生活的常規(guī)，以抑制人們對陌生人的個人私事的好奇心。村民和農(nóng)民有可能表現(xiàn)出極大的興趣，在所有的鄰居。明亮的年輕人機會更大的城市，已經(jīng)有一個穩(wěn)定的希望求職者的村莊和農(nóng)場的大都市地區(qū)。
英文作文 篇6
Children, also known as "June 1 International Children‘s Day," the annual June 1, the world of children‘s festivals. November 1949, the Women‘s International Democratic Federation council meeting held in Moscow. China and other countries and representatives of countries and anger exposed the imperialist reactionaries kill and poison children. In order to protect the world‘s children to survival, health and education, to improve the lives of children. The meeting decided in the annual June 1 International Children‘s Day.
The International Children‘s Day (ICD) is celebrated in numerous countries, usually (but not always) on June 1 each year.
The ICD had its origin in the World Conference for the Wellbeing of Children in Geneva, Switzerland in 1925. It is not clear as to why June 1 was chosen as the ICD: one theory has it that the Chinese consul-general in San Francisco (USA) gathered a number of Chinese orphans to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in 1925, which happened to be on June 1 that year, and also coincided with the conference in Geneva.
June 1 has since been observed as the ICD by numerous countries, especially by Communist countries; in the Western world the ICD is usually celebrated on other days of the year (if at all), and there is often little public awareness about these celebrations. (See the section on Germany below for further discussions.) Consequently there is sometimes a misperception that June 1 as the ICD was a Communist invention. Nonetheless, in recent years even some groups within the United States started observing the ICD on June 1.

G, I dont even remember the last time I did a book report on this blog, life is so busy!! :D
But since Im sick and staying home today, I finally have the time to my book "life".
So, I just finished this book in the morning, all the details are still ringing in my head(which is gooD).
The name "Tally Youngblood", the main character, was the first thing interested me in this book. The word youngblood reminded me so many things. But the story did more.
"Tally is about to turn sixteen, and she cant wait. Not for her license--for turning pretty. In Tallys world, your sixteenth birthday brings an operation that turns you from a repellent ugly into a stunningly attractive pretty and catapults you into a high-tech paradise where your only job is to have a really great time. In just a few weeks Tally will be there.
But Tallys new friend Shay isnt sure she wants to be pretty. Shed rather risk life on the outside. When Shay runs away, Tally learns about a whole new side of the pretty world---- and it isnt very pretty. The authorities offer Tally the worst choice she can imagine: find her friend and turn her in, or never turn pretty at all. The choice Tally makes changes her world forever."
While reading this book, I kept having a weird phrase in my head:"to be or not to be". Is friendship more important than owning a pretty face? Is it the outside that really matters? Is freedom of having your independent ideas that important? Tally sure struggled through lots of conflicts. Even though this is a science fiction, but I felt as I was Tally, making lots of choices that could change your life forever. 14, such a sensitive age, will I ever betray my friends or lover for something not important at all? That is something to think about

How influentital the Media on Teens Are
It has been a hot topic discussed heatedly for the time being that how indeed the media influence our teens. Different peopie come up with different opinions. The following passages are two different comments given by several teenagers ranging from 15 to 20.
One， Teens are the most influenced and the easiest to be influenced by the media. The media influence the way they dress， talk and conduct themselves. From the latest trends to the coolest celebrities， they imirate what they see， whether it＇s Katie Holmes＇s new haircut or the pink shirt that Christina Aguilera wore. So it follows that more serious actions like carrying arms or doing drugs could be copied as well.
Young people are impressionable. Therefore， some request that the media should take responsibility by changing some of the content of their shows especially those for teens. They are huge consumers of media， so networks should show them respect by promoting positive images. They think some shows confuse the lines between entertainment and life.The producers know their audiences are young， so they should realize that teens watching "reality" shows might not be able
to tell the difference between fantasy and fiction.
Opposing voices have also come from others. They think that they use the media--magazines， television and movies--to connect to one another and to the world， so naturally，they＇re influenced by the images the media present. For example， a boy would be lying if he said he didn＇t want to be like Brad Pitt. Pitt＇s flawless style， good looks and moneyXXX talent seem to define what＇s "cool".
Nevertheless， those teens hold that the media only provide information， what they as viewers do with that knowledge is up to themselves. They have to learn to make their own choices and accept responsibility for their actions. To blame entertainment figures for certain crimes committed by teens is
funny. It＇s not the fault of TV. Media are an expression of our culture--not the cause. It＇s time we stop XXX the media a scapegoat for our nation＇s problems. It＇s not the media＇s job to make sure kids understand what they＇re watching; that responsibility belongs to parents. Parents and schools should dedicate more time to establishing clear rules of discipline.The influence of parents and teachers--the teens＇ true role model--carries more weight with teenagers than what they hear on the radio or see at the movies.
傳媒于青少年之影響
目前，傳媒于青少年的切實影響已經(jīng)成為熱點話題，在 這方面討論也很熱烈，不同的人有不同的觀點.下面是幾個15到20歲的青少年的兩種看法.
第一，青少年最容易受傳媒影響，受其影響程度也最大.傳媒影響他們的穿著、談吐和行為舉止.從最新的潮流到最酷的名人，青少年仿效其所見所聞，無論是凱蒂·霍姆斯的新發(fā)型還是克里斯蒂娜·安吉莉拉的粉紅色襯衫.由此推斷更嚴重的行為，像攜帶槍和吸毒等，也能成為仿效對象.
正因為青少年比較容易受影響，所以，有些人呼吁傳媒必須對青少年負責，改變其節(jié)目的某些內(nèi)容——尤其是那些針對青少年的節(jié)目. 由于青少年是傳媒龐大的消費群體，因此傳媒網(wǎng)絡(luò)應(yīng)該樹立正面的形象，以尊重他們.他們認為，一些節(jié)目模糊了娛樂表演和現(xiàn)實生活之間的界限.這些制片人知道，他們的觀眾還是小孩子，所以應(yīng)該意識到觀看“仿真”節(jié)目的青少年，也許不能把想象與虛構(gòu)分辨開來.
但另一部分則持相反的意見.他們認為自己在運用雜志、電視還有電影這些媒體來相互交流，加強和外界的聯(lián)系.因而很自然的，傳媒所樹立的形象會對他們造成影響.比如，如果一個男孩子說他不愿意成為布拉德·皮特這樣的人，那他一定是言不由衷.皮特以其完美的風度，帥氣的外表，以及賺錢的天賦，詮釋了當前“酷”的含義.
盡管如此，這些青少年堅持認為傳媒僅僅是在傳遞信息，至于作為觀眾怎樣對待這些知識則由他們自己決定.他們應(yīng)該學會自己做出選擇，為自己的行為承擔責任. 因為青少年的一些犯罪行為而去譴責娛樂圈內(nèi)人士，這聽來實在荒謬.電視并沒有錯.傳媒也只是在表現(xiàn)文化，而不是造就文化.現(xiàn)在不應(yīng)該再讓傳媒去當社會問題的替罪羊了.讓孩子們理解所看節(jié)目的內(nèi)涵并不是傳媒的職責，他們的父母才應(yīng)責無旁貸.孩子的父母和所在學校還應(yīng)該投入更多的時間去制定明確的紀律規(guī)章.父母和老師才是青少年真正的楷模，他們帶來的影響遠遠超過青少年從收音機里聽來的或是從電影中所看到的東西.
