How do you rate a movie? - Reflection

How do you rate a movie?

WALT: reflect on the question we were given with the article we being reading.

In so many movies they contain bad language and scene that shouldn’t be shown to children. But because there are ratings on them it doesn't mean they will listen and not watch the movie.

So I will be answering some questions from the article.

Why do movies have ratings, why do you have to be a specific age to be able to watch a horror film.

We have movie rating because there are a lot of movies that people love to watch but might not be appropriate for younger audiences, because there could be bad language or inappropriate language used in the movies. There could be language that adults may use that aren’t meant for children.

They should have ratings because there could be themes shown, that are only meant for adults. For example nudity, adult themes and even drug use.

There are many reasons to why we should have age ratings. So what I am trying to explain is should we have age ratings and will it work and stop children that are under age.

In my opinion I say yes, because we need to be careful with what people should watch and if it is appropriate for children my age, i there are movies someone is currently watching. And because of the things they might be watching they might use what they have seen in the street or in school.

In my opinion I do not know how this will work because people don’t listen to what people say or what it may say on the back off the movie case or box.

There are so many variety of movies I like to watch, like horror and crime movies.

If I were to be able to ban a type of movie it will have to be Romance, not Film-Noir,Just Romance because there are something’s they do that a lot of people don’t like to see in movies but this is just my opinion.

There is lots of varieties of languages, not the cultural language the everyday language we use everyday to communicate with the people around us. There is one type of language that half of the world uses which is bad language, Bad language is when someone involves swearing or inappropriate things  into a conversation or in a movie or story.

And because of the bad language people are using in the movies child are using that same language outside on the streets or at school. But then there are some children that are using bad language because they are trying to fit in, or are learning bad language from family member at home or from their friends.

All over the world there are varieties of punishments that are happening at schools because of some of the things that they aren’t supposed to use at school. And what I want to answer is that, Should teachers punish students for using bad language at school.

In my opinion I say No and Yes. Firstly No because teachers shouldn’t be allowed to punish students because of the types of languages they are using, And they should just tell the parents that they are using bad language at school when they shouldn’t because it is part of rules.

Teachers shouldn’t be getting involved when students are using bad language at school, because of the punishment they may give them may not stop from using bad language at school in front of teachers and students. And secondly Yes because teacher school be stopping students from using language that isn’t allowed to be said to students or teacher. Teachers shouldn’t be giving the hash punishments, but punishments that will stop them from using that type of language toward a conversation with people.

Would you survive? Reflection

So Today I have completed my work from yesterday which was about an article call Would You Survive?? and the article is by Kayla Prendergast. I find this article very interesting and  hope you enjoy what I had put together. 

Would You Survive??

WALT: write a reflection including your answers to the questions at the end of the article.


Today I have read a  article called Would You Survive by Kayla Prendergast. And this article is about a school named  St Paul’s Collegiate, that has a camp which happens twice a year where a group of 14 year old year 10 boys go on a five month camp with any technology with them or devices, Whether You bring your devices or not there is no service. The camp is basically in the middle of know and is surrounded by native bush, mountains, and tussock, with no civilization in sight. 

And during their time at the camp they would have to do there own dishes, and will have to clean their own laundry.(things most kids like us don’t do). Also something in the camp were banned including devices, extra food, aerosol cans(spray on deodorant), pocket knives, even alarm clocks!I think the main idea of this article is to young people like myself off their devices, get them outside, and to teach them essential life skills. 

This article is taken places literally in the middle of nowhere, But the location is in . And the surround of where their camp has native bush, mountains, tussock and the camp itself. Not including civilization.

If I were to participate in the challenge of having to go on a camp in the middle of nowhere and having to stay outside with no devices allowed I think I would survive because i’m normally outside and about hanging out with friends and running around outside and when i’m not outside, I just help clean, sit in my room and draw, Or i’ll just read a book or two. And probably eat and go to sleep.  

In my opinion I think a lot of young people are addicted to devices and technology because there normally alway on them, But then there are some young people that are outside playing sports and having fun with there friends and family. So I really can’t say that all young people are addicted because not everyone is. There are still a lot of people who are enjoying their time outside and still a lot of people who are on their devices a lot as well. So I think that I shouldn’t assume we young people do because not all of us young people are addicted and you shouldn’t assume either. 

If I were to going to Tihoi I think one of the positive things about it will being going somewhere new, And learning more about a curtain places or country. But one negative thing about going to Tihoi is that don’t know anything about the place. I don’t know the story about it or if it is a dangerous and if it is truly safe for me to visit. It will be great to go visiting, But I still don’t know if I will be safe there. Safety always comes first. I know I may be worrying to much but I still don’t know anything about Tihoi.
