Our brains on MEDIA! (Module #3)

This video appeals to my limbic and reptilian brain.

Limbic - We see the baby and we hear him laughing.

Reptilian- Our laughing is our reaction to what we saw or heard

My Personal Media Inventory!! (module #2)

1. I love reading. I like reading classics, historical novels and fantasy! I like children's books as well. I love Charlote's web, the Harry Potter series, and many others. I like funny stories or novels too. I like foreign and as well as our authors!
   
2. Honestly, even though I like reading a lot, I rarely read any newspapers or magazines :-( .
3. I listen to all kinds of music. It depends on my mood. But I would say in general I like songs which make you dance!! And unfortunately I don't play any music but I hope one day to be able to do that.
4. I watch TV only when I feel there is something interesting on because I find it makes no sense to be glued to the screen when there is nothing there really. I have many great friends so I would prefer to spend time with them or just go out or use the Internet! I like to watch documentaries, comedies and interesting movies, sometimes some programs like news or music. And I also like to watch serials.
   
5. Ah, I rarely play video games. I prefer computer games.
6. I spend more time in front of computer than TV. I mostly use the computer for entertainment and communication.
   
7. Internet! I do spend much time on the Internet! It's got everything! From news and movies to fun games! It's full of information. Well, I can say it's even full of people. I may sound like I spend whole day in frot of the computer. That's not the case actually. It is like 4 hours max!

Knowledge tree (module #1)

Hi! I am Sofik Margaryan, soon to be 16 :) . I was born and brought up in a small town called Nor Hachen in a small country called Armenia. I've got a large family - my parents and my 4 other sisters!! I am the youngest one! I love learning languages, may be because I dream of visiting other countries, being able to communicate with local people and understand each other, bring down the wall of misunderstanding. I love meeting people from different countries and cultures as well of my own. I'm friendly, sometimes overactive, hardworking, smart (no doubt in that!). I like reading about as many things as possible! I may not be one of the best students in my school, but I am oneo f the good ones and that's for sure.

Media somehow has the power to move us! It really is nice to hear the right music in the right mood. When I am sad, a soft music comforts me. When I am full of energy, an energizing song is the right one to dance under! I don't play much video games, but am attracted to computer games, though no particular favorite one. No, I think I like puzzle games more than any other.

The issue that really bothers me in my community is that many people are jobless and I don't know what I can do about it.

I think what I can contribute to the participants during the workshops is my cooperation. I like teamwork. It helps you to know people more and to know yourself as well. It makes you think about some of your own or others' personal qualities.
