How We Judge People by Richard Bach

TEXT / TASKS / HOW-PART v1

Task 3.2.
You are interviewed in a radio programme. One of the callers asks whether the text How We Judge People is really more than the reflection of your dislike to public media.

What would you answer?





Well, huh, Im not sure youve read my text, and if you did, you definitely misunderstood something. But I can answer your question. Yes, theres definitely more than just the reflection of my dislike to public media. My text is about the images. The images we create and others are creating about us. Its the view of the other side of glass, well, cause we cant deny that famous people, celebrities are the most often captured, idolized people. Im a famous guy, I can tell how depressing it is, either way can Mary and Leslie. And of course mostly the media people are making those pictures. But its the way how they are making money, and we cant blame them. They need your attention, your interest, they need to control you; and we, famous people, are the best way to do it. For those tabloids we are just another tool for manipulation and they dont care anymore, if some of the images are broken, some other star is exposed, since we have a good-working factory of celebrity-makers. And if you ask me, do I like gr. the public media, the answer would be I hate them . But the world needs them, to be sure that its still working.
