Group 5: different attitudes to beauty in men and women

Pro:
- from a mans perspective it's an advantage (more respect than they probably should get)
- it's natural, we accept it because it's in so many cultures
- good for selfconfidence
- women allowed to look better than men
- also a man should try to look good in front of a woman

Con:
- prefers man -> women are expected to look young and beautiful
- old men look wise and experienced, old women look like witches
- women don't get as much attention than men
- makes people unhappy with this pressure
- people start to neglect themself
- discriminative tradtition, pressure on women

Additional thoughts:
- difference between men and women, created by upbringing
- nowadays the situation is changing
- now looks are important for both genders
- society should change!

My Style

First of all: i'm no emo! But some people like to think that because of my hair style or my band-shirts or whatever. I don't belong to any group and i don't want to be put into one. Like i said some people like to think that i'm a emo because my hair are pretty dark and they hang always into my face because i just let them grow. I only wear band-shirts, because music is a very important part of my life. I listen to music nearly the whole day. I never listen to music which is in the charts odr radio, i hate that mainstream-comerce-pop-shit. Mostly i listen to NuMetal or Rapcore bands, bands which nobody knows and some of them really influenced my life. I also don't really watch TV because people only get influenced by this. They dress like the people in the TV, they hear the music that comes in TV. I don't want to be part of the mainstream, i try to stay different from the rest. And so i don't want to get put into any group.
I think very much about god and the world and i like to discuss with my friends about such things. I'm also very critical to the politic of america and the whole system on this earth, because i read some books about this topics and conspiracy theories and they really changed my life.
although some people think i'm intolerant i am very tolerant, i tolerant everyone. But that doesn't mean i accept everyone and everyones opinion but some intolerante people can't seperate this two terms.
Finally i want to cite a citation from Christoph: "Everybody is born as an original ... but many die as copies!" And i try to not end as a copy =)

The Perks of Being a wallflower - Review

The book "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" was written in the 1990s by Stephen Chbosky, an american Novelist. It's about a 15 year old boy who sends letters to an unknwon person on which whe tells what happens to him during his year as a freshman on a high school.

Charlie came to his new school with now friend , as a shy and sentimental person with no friends, his best friend killed himself ad his aunt who meant a lot to him got killed at a car accident. As he met Sam and Patrick his whole life got turned upside down. He used to stay at home and read and think about everything, but then he went to parties, took drugs, drunk and smoked. All this are topics in which nearly everyone comes in contact while being a teenager. The story itself has funny and sad parts, just like real life. It shows really all that charlie experienced, but sometimes it's a bit nasty. But it makes the book fortiory interesting. You can really feel with Charlie, because you may made some similar experiences in your live. Sometimes I fealt like i don't read a book, but rather a real letter wo was sent to me by one of my own friends.I can only recommend this book. It's quiet easy to read, because there are not so many big confusing words, but if there are they are well explained. It's the best book we read so far in english and it was it's 10 € absolutely wort it.

He is a very good friend who always wants the best for everyone and sometimes he also made mistakes. At the end you find out that Charlie was abused by his aunt. So he had a hard childhood, and that could be the reasen why he has no self-confidemce and why he is so introverted.

pro/contra essay

Violence is a very big part of movies. In every genre of films you can see violence, physical or verbal. Some people belive that such movies make a part of the audience use the violence, that they see on TV or in the cinema, in their real life. Should violent films be banned from the screens?


Supporter for the ban of violence say that such films are very unrealistic. For example if the heroe of a violent film is hit by a bullet, he just walks on like nothing happens, but the enemys die with nearly every hit. The heroes also have a very high hit rate, and the enemys can shoot the hole magazin at the heroe but they don't hit.
Supporters also believe that such films animate some poeple to do things they saw in films in real. Like in one case a group of men lavished a random man with gas and then they burnt him. Such a sceen was in a movie which the men saw just before.
But most of the violent films are so unrealistic that no normal person gets violent by watching such films. As someone runs amok because of a film he/she gets on the title page of every news paper. But how many people do not run amok after such a film? Much more, and anyone can confirm this.
And what about the nonviolent films? They are even successfuller than violent films. In many of the last years were nonviolent films the most viewed films. That shows that not everyone loves violence.
We also don't turn into a nonviolent society because we don't watch violent movies. Violence is nothing that came with movies, and it won't go with movies.


Some people think that films make people violent. But without violent films our society would be as violent as it was, and such films are just to amuse us. So just lay back, turn your brain of and watch this stupid amusement, because for this such films are made.
