Media Influence

Does media influence the actions of teenagers? Yes it does, because mostly every commercial, Music Videos, Movies are toward us. We teenagers have free time most of the time, so we can shop, we can watch movies whenever it comes out. Also all those foolish dances kids do, all were from music video, cool people do it, we must do it. Also theres have been a lot of incident happening, like kids trying to do wrestling move, just because they saw it in television. As this goes on, the media can be used to those boring informational videos on how to do things, just like the old days.

Abram Kisielnicki, Victim Question

1. What was your first reaction, when they pulled you away from your life and put you into that hell?

2. Was you family staying close to each other, did you try to protect your 2 younger brother/sister?

3. Did they made false hope for you, saying how they were taking you to a wonderful place and how you should tell your friends?

4. When you and your father escaped when Germany invaded Poland, did you think about your mother and sister. And when you saw your town get heavily bomb did it worried you more?

5. Are you glad that you escaped the Holocaust and emigrated to the United States, and hows your life has been since it?

Reaction to the testimony from Holocaust survivors.

When i saw the first video, I was near tears, because of the hardship he went through. Losing his family, being tortured, and being treated as garbage as if they weren't human at all. I also saw some other video same thing, how Alex Chevion who listen to Hitler's speech and what he was going to do. He saw other Jews beaten up. I can't imagine how he went through that.
