[edit] Environmental platform

"My project would be a "Before and After" advertisements on T.V. These adverts would be about our environment e.g rivers, parks etc., before images to be positive ones, showin how the state of ou environment was before the car pollution, gas leakings, waste and so on. After images more negative and clearly indicating the affects of our actions. However these adverts would have to follow a serious theme, not over exadurate the issues and not be shown so very offten so that people do not become immun to them and so that they lose their important meaning. I believe that such advertisements indicate a clear statement about the issue it self and they clarify the main caurse of the problem. Such advertisements also indicate the consequences of our actions, for example, if the whole population owned a car and used it dayly for unnessasry reasons we will be at rist of air pollution which will not only affect our heath but the state of the earth it self. I believe that in our mordern society people have become lazy and so concerned with other things such as work and domestic issues, that they find them selves isolated. The issues of the environment are in general to big for them therefore, viewed far in distance from each individual as if these issues do not concern them. It is therefore important for us to emphasis the issues that derive from our actions, and most importantly to take responsibility for our actions. As human beings we all hold an obligation to look after our environment, the most important step to take in my opinian is to inform our youth about the currant issues considering our environment, the knew generations will grown and adapt within a world that stresses such environmental issues, it is therefore more likely for solutions to be accepted and advanced in the future."

These adverts would be of our environment e.g. rivers, parks est., before images to be positive ones, showing how the state of our environment was before the car pollution, gas leaking, waste and so on. After images more negative and clearly indicating the affects of our actions. However these adverts would have to follow a serious theme, advertisements must be produced and represented in a powerful manner, and preventing immunity amongst our population, hence continues development encouraging and inducing individuals with knowledge about our dear environment.

Within our current society individuals have become lazy and so concerned with other things such as work and domestic issues, that they find them selves isolated. The issues of the environment are in general to big for them therefore, viewed far in distance from each individual as if these issues do not concern them. It is therefore important for us to emphasis the issues that derive from our actions, and most importantly to take responsibility for our actions. As human beings we all hold an obligation to look after our environment, the most important step to take in my opinion is to inform our youth about the currant issues considering our environment, the knew generations will grown and adapt within a world that stresses such environmental issues, it is therefore more likely for solutions to be accepted and advanced in the future. Thus, if the two most powerful state institutions combine and function as one (the government and media) by imposture and presentation of laws and legitimizations will guarantee success, rules imposed by the government will aid to construct social attitudes and opinions towards the environment and people will at some point become wary of the issues and solutions.

== Shpresa Vitia - BackgroundLink title ==

Every land, every territory, every population has a history, of the great pains and sufferings and the great victories and joys. Albania raised one of the oldest populations in the Balkans across Europe (the Illyrians), I am proud because I share the same home land as some of the worlds most greatest individuals such as Skenderbeg, Mother Teresa, Aleksandra the Great. It’s not only our actions that construct whom we are but the place we come from. Because as a nation you are obligated to fight the same struggles and cry the same tears, but also laugh the same laughter’s. Albania not only raised some of the greatest people known and respected across the world, but also contains the most beautiful landscapes, coasts, historical sites, culture and traditions.

I was born into a world that seemed very cold, in many aspects, as a young child growing up in poverty was not easy, I got picked on for not having the best clothes and house and so on, but being raised up in a harsh environment made me stronger, also encouraged me to place emphasis upon family love, rather than material mechanisms, I being aware and familiar with hard times, structures your whole perspective of life, in my opinion it makes you a better person. Therefore my ambition has always been related to helping people advising them keeping them stabled and reminding them of whom they are, even at a very young age I found my self in the middle of my friends issues always trying to help them out in some way or another I love being able to regain peoples strength, for this same reason I have continued studying Psychology at Kingston University and plan to be Dr. Shpresa Vitia one day. I also love music I believe that its one of the best ways of expressing emotion, you can change someone’s life with one powerful song, I write a lot of songs all from the heart, music saved my life.
