We are in the world where everyone seems to be watching each other.  Colin writes in  "Why People Think They're Living In A Reality Show" , the article is adapted from the movie "Truman Show" in 1998 and it is played by an actor Jim Carrey. The author states that  people think they are living in the movie.Mr. Marantz says we are living in the world where the government has power to watch or spy on people and this is bad without their knowledge. Also, social media is read by million of people and they can't find  value in this bad thing . In the United States, we don't like the government to spy on people because its heart us.

I like to keep some of things in my private life because they  make me feel comfortable. In this life, we always have something  confidential and we don't want others to know about it. Those who are behind monitors, they could be our neighbors or friends. Once they know what we hide, we will not be in ourselves.The author mentioned that " In the world where a tweet is read by million, becoming famous is reasonable". I think the author is right because these social media are available to anyone who wants to have access on them. Once, someone posts your information and it can be read by many people and that can make us famous in bad way.

I don't like we being watched  without our knowledge because it brings problem. People who watch others sometime tell their relatives something negative. Some of our relatives think we are weak and they want us to act tough. Friend of mine who accommodate one of his relative for some few days, he had an issue with his wife because what he was accepting to his wife. His cousin didn't like it and that brought the fight which has caused a separation. He thought his cousin wasn't pretend attention, but he was. I think when we know someone is watching us , we can know what to do. And where the author states that "many of us watch others people on reality shows every single day" those people on the shows know and they get pay for the show. Nevertheless, we are not running a show, this is personal life.

 The author states people think they are living in the movie.We are living in the world where the government has power to spy on us, however, this is wrong because it won't make us to feel comfortable and our private lives will be out , also, some people can make bad judgment or look. Living in the place where we are monitoring by our relatives can bring issue between our love one. If  we know someone is watching us, we can avoid many things. Watching us  without our knowledge can endanger their lives.

Paragraph 1: How does Seahaven compare to your world in terms of family life, neighborhood life, work life, and leisure time?

Paragraph 2: Would you choose to live in Cristof’s world of Seahaven? Why or why not?

My family life compared to Seahaven, i live in an apartment on the fourth floor. It is not easy for me to walk up and down, especially, with the heavy stuffs. there is no backyard for us and we have to walk far before to get a playstation area. During walking, there are a lot of noises coming from any where like subway passes every ten minutes, firefighter can blow their horn any moment and neighbors play loud music too. Also, kids all run and play on the hall, bunging on the door most of the times. On the other hand, Seahaven doesn't have none of these disturbing activities.

I would like to live in Cristof's world of Seahaven because life is healthy there.The place has less pollution due to rare vehicles and industries. The vegetation is green that can help people to have good oxygen and ellimination of carbondoixid. Moreover. the streets are clean and we don't smell any intoxid 

I am done
