I just noticed that media today loves portraying poverty. From soap operas to game shows, it appeared that the poorest you are, the more entertaining you become. Take for example certain game shows in my country where they have to...

ModPoet74 I think the much more important question is the why the corporate-owned media portrays poor people in the way it does. Specifically, why does the media treat poverty as a question of individual choice and personal responsibility? We live in a system in which a...

cefaz_21 I agree with you,it's very saddening,the poor ones are being used and in a way I think being abused also. Soap Operas are much better because we know it's not for real but for the game shows..I wonder what's goin on with the poeple behind those shows. Do they...

tarachand Well, its human nature to fall for a sob story and loosen the purse strings. There are people who genuinely care and there are people who thumb their noses in private and take glee in the fact that they are better off than that poor sod who needs the moolah so...

raijin I don't really know why they do this, when infact they could've atleast put up something like that of a foundation to help poor families. As for those game shows, I already got tired and sick of it, especially after the Ultra Stampede. Instead of helping, they...

ctrymuziklvr I know how you feel, it's happened to me more than once and I don't appreciate it at all. Even though English is my native language when I'm writing I'm not thinking about grammar, especially here. Some people need something to complain about and that member...

a_ce_e I think it is unappropriate to correct the grammar of anyone here on mylot, as long as they are understandable that would be okey or else you try to ask for further clarification on the matter. Mylot is trying to welcome nationalities around the world, so no...

jemjemjemperez i think the more important thing here is to let people understand what you are trying to say..! regardless of the grammar, if what you're saying is clear and understood by people, then it's ok..! if criticism is stated as a DON'T in the rules of mylot, then i...

lexus54 As far as I am concerned, reading your post, your English is acceptable, and certainly good enough to converse with others here. If I were you, I'd not be too annoyed by this guy who commented on your English. I'll just politely tell him "Thank you for trying...

boomshiki I really hate it when people post just to pick apart your grammar. No one really cares about minute details in your typing, especially on the internet, except maybe English teachers and forum trolls.

cecillecarmela In my own opinion, your thoughts doesn't necessarily have to be a perfect English grammar. What's important is the content of your paragraph, your THOUGHTS and it's not all about grammar. As long as people can understand and can relate to your words, then...
