Advertising Gillette

My advertising: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e92UVmAfwQI&feature=related

Advertising is everywhere in our life. If you walk through the streets or watching TV, advertisements are always present. It effects our decision about everything. One of the most effective things is to use famous people for your advertising. That is the reason why I think the advertisements from Gillette are always very effective. There is almost no other company, which uses 3 of the most well known sport characters in the world. With the best golf player ever Tiger Woods, the best tennis player Roger Federer and one of the best soccer player Thierry Henri in one spot is really impressive and it catches the attention of the people. On one hand the spot seems to be serious with the well dressed people, on the other hand it is also funny. Nevertheless; this advertising is for sure very expensive, so I am not sure if it is lucrative for the company. But anyways Gillette is well known so actually it has to work and it has to be effective otherwise they couldn’t broadcast always spots like this because this one is not the first one with so many famous people.

What's more important health or money?

For the wealthy people in the world money is not an issue. Everybody dreams to reach this position and doesn’t have to worry about his financial situation. In a capitalistic world, where we life in, is everything about money. Nevertheless; we shouldn’t forget the value of being healthy and fit. To be in health is the biggest gift you can have. Nothing is comparable to be healthy because you are able to move your body, you feel well and last but not least you can’t buy a long life with money.

The possibility to be able to move your body is so important for your fitness and for everything normal in your workaday life. If you can’t use your body normal because of an illness everything is more difficult that seems to be easy now. For example if you have to use a wheelchair to move because your legs don’t work anymore, it is so intense just to go upstairs. Of course you can buy with money a lot of items they make your live easier but can they really displace the natural human independence to move our body? Flexibility affects also your feeling in a different ways.

Therefore to feel well it’s important to be healthy. If everybody has to look for you and help you it’s the most of the time not good for your self-confidence. You are losing your independence. For me it’s also important to make sport to feel good, if I don’t make any kind of sport I feel lazy and unhealthy. I also have to show myself where the limit for my body is and try to reach the limit. In my opinion it’s not really satisfying just to sit on a couch and watch TV on a big screen, I have to do something with my body and again you can’t buy that and you also can’t buy the feeling how it is after 1 hour running to take a shower.

The technology is very advanced but they still haven’t found something that you can buy to eke your life. A lot of illnesses are still incurable and a lot of people die because of them. There will be for sure some other illnesses in the future that nobody knows. Out of it nobody is save for dieing because of illness. So the human lie is still the most expensive thing on earth.
Concluding I can say all the money on earth doesn’t matter if you die early. Otherwise, health and fitness is still the key to reach happiness and satisfaction.

Hunting Grizzly Bears in Canada

A lot of scientific studies tell that the grizzly is going to extinct if we don’t stop hunting them. In British Columbia, Canada, where hunting grizzly bears is a kind of tradition or something like a sport, they used to hunt the bears for years and they still keep going. In the last 38 years they killed 12”802 grizzly bears through hunting. The province of British Columbia says that there are between 13’000-14’000 bears are still living. In fact there are studies, which tell that there are at most 6’000-7’000. The same numbers had the government before 1990, at this time they found a new calculation method, which got coincidentally the number twice as before. The government makes a lot of money with the hunting tourists, so that’s the reason that they manipulate the numbers of the effective bears but if they still keep going and give more license that the real number can effort, the bears will extinct. There is also a lot of illegal hunting in British Columbia; there are people, who say that the number of illegal killed bears is the same than the legal killed bears. In the end they have to change something because they maybe earn know a lot of money with that but they destroy one beautiful animal, which wouldn’t exist in the future.

The Bird's nest

One of the most famous artwork in architecture is the Olympic stadium in Beijing, China. It was designed by the Swiss architecture Herzog & de Meuron. It is called “Bird’s nest” because of his apparent steel construction. Its appearance is pure structure. Facade and structure are identical. This stadium split the meanings. On one hand some people say it is one of the greatest buildings in the world, on the other hand people say it is just ugly. In my opinion it is something new, I can’t say it is beautiful but I think it is a very interesting building and you can see the structure of the stadium. The architectures followed a totally new way to design a stadium but why shouldn’t the construction be visible. What is also a point that I really like on this stadium is how it plays with the light. In the night it gives awesome images on the ground around the stadium. For me it is for sure a kind of art because it is something new and they show us in a different way how to build a stadium. It broadens the horizon of all architecture and is a good representing building for a big city like Beijing.
