Movie Review: "The Campaign"


The Campaign

The Campaign is a 2012 comedy, directed by Jay Roach, released August 10, 2012, starring Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis. In this movie, two men run for congress in North Carolina district. They are Cam Brady (Will Ferrell) a long-term congressman and Marty Huggins (Zach Galifianakis) a tourism director. Marty Huggins volunteer to run for congress in his district. At first, Marty was not ready to run for the position, but with the help of his father's political connections, he become a big rival against Brady for the upcoming election.  On the eve for the upcoming election, Cam Brady becomes very competitive with his Marty. As election comes closer, Brady and Huggins insults at each other and it turns into one of the deadliest campaign in the district. They ruin each other's campaign and attend different religions just to get their votes. After watching this movie, I find that my stomach hurts from non-stop laughing. I find this movie has its moments and  it did made my night! I would give a 7 /10 stars. Audience will definitely find it hysterical because of how they punch in political satire in this movie.

Facebook's Impact on Society


          In 2009, I joined a social networking site known as Facebook. During the time it wasn’t as well known globally as it is today. This topic interests me because it has affected a very widespread group of individuals, businesses, and organizations.  To date, only three years from my introduction, Facebook has millions active users. It is the fastest way to connect to friends, family, colleagues, and businesses. There are many applications that can be use on this social media site, such as photo sharing, gaming, and online chat.

          Facebook  does not only target my generation of students, young adults, but has also branched out to middle aged adults and seniors. Facebook is important to me because I use it to connect with relatives from other countries and reconnect with old friends.

     Facebook launched in 2004. In just 8 years this online network has become very well known to many people around the world.  It is a great source of communication. Many people use to connect with friends, to share photos, and videos.  In addition, it gives people an opportunity to share their experiences and voice their opinion. Facebook is also an efficient way to spread awareness and other forms of campaigning due to its large user base. 

    I believe that Facebook had changed the way people use the internet and connect with others, creating an easy communication system worldwide.
