Are Movies Supposed To Be For Entertainment Only ? Some people believe that movies are just for entertainment. At the beginning of movie productions perhaps the mere fact of watching images on a screen was fascinating. Could you imagine how fantastic was this creation for that era? Even in the first decades of cinema, we could already notice politics and ideologies in the movies. A classic example is the film The Great Didactor, released in 1940, in which Chaplin uses a comedy however attacks Hitler and fascism that was a trouble for humanity. Perhaps children might only see entertainment in movies, but any teenager or adult is able to realize political and ideological aspects in the movies, as well as some advertisements in some scenes. Producers and companies take advantages of the great opportunity to make money by showing products or brands in some movie scenes. In the last decades most of the movies are filled with ideologies and political aspects. Note that all striking political facts have given rise to films. It is an entertainment mixed with realities and ideologies. Surelly all movies are for entertainment, but for me most of them have political and ideological aspects, explicit in many films and implicit in others one.

Sporting Heroes Should Try To Be a Good Role Models Should sporting heroes try to be good role models? In front of the value that sports have been in media in general it is an interesting question to think about. We know that we live in a world totally connected by the information, whether on TV, on internet, on paper news and magazine or whatever media it is. The sports have been valued and showed to world last times by those means. Even countries which don't have good relationships congregate to sports events. So, anyway it is present in lives of people and need to keep tracked. Sports reflect the results of teamwork. Even when athletes compete in individual modalities, they has a teamwork behind them. When athletes become champions, they have their moments of glory and are recognized worldwide. But they should keep in mind that if their success is not honest and if it is discovered they may go from champion to a national shame. It is known that most young people love sports naturally. And by being in formation process what they watch may influence their concepts. To my mind it is evident that a sporting hero should make every effort to be a good role model

Someone Was Offered a Job or TO SOMEONE WAS OFFERED A JOB ? Hello good people. I saw this phrase in a text: "The fact that Jane was offered a job has no connection with the fact that her cousin is managing director." It would be correct if was written : "The fact that TO Jane was offered a job has no connection with the fact that her cousin is managing director." Because portuguese speakers would use the preposition TO in this phrase. Certainly a portuguese speaker would say /write the last phrase. If the second phrase is wrong, probably most part of portuguese speakers would write it wrongly. We tend use the preposition TO in this situation. Thank in advance. Ricardo Brinck
