I promised to tie all my entries together, and here goes. All my entries have something to do with change.

As we all know, change is the only permanent thing in the world. There is always room for change. No matter how stubborn a person is, how hard it would be for him or her to change, there is always a possibility. In Beauty and the Geek, it seems really unlikely that the “geeks” would be made over into pleasant looking guys, and that the girls would find interest in books and studying.

In Two Weeks Notice and Around The World In Eighty Days, it is shown that you can change a person’s impression of you. If you really try hard to show them that you are more than what meets the eye, then you will be able to make them see that better side of you they were stubborn enough not to know.

Though “change for the better” is what we always hope for, it is not always what we get. Of course no one would ever dare say “change for the worse”, but it would be an exact description of how we Filipinos are being mentally and socially taken over by the cultures and trends of other countries. It is nice to adapt the good things another nation has, but not at the risk of forgetting our own.

This quarter I learned more of how the media is really capable of changing people’s opinions and lives. The media is a very powerful influence, and I think it would be best if we all kept that in mind.
