Watching Movies at theater Vs. Watching Movies at home

People are always looking for distraction. There are many options to choose but what about watching movies? This is a great option but what would be better, watching movies at theater or watching movies at home? The purpose of this essay is to contrast comfort, price and quality of movies in these two items.

I am going to take into consideration these three aspects; comfort, price and quality of movies relating with watching movies at theater. Comfort is always important in order to enjoy a movie. A theater does not offer a lot of comfort to the audience, it mainly because in a cinema attend many people and it is very probable that there would be distractors like noise, cellphone ringing among others that may almost impossible a total comfort during the movie. Another thing to take into consideration is price; due to cinemas are establishments that attract many people, the prices of all the snacks that selling there are really expensive compared with stores form outside, so what would be a distraction becomes a surprising amount of money spent. Talking about quality of movie, theater have many advantages, for example, the big screen, the loud and clear sound, etc. those qualities that a cinema offers make movies more enjoyable. LCM Linda (2008) published in Cinemaroll stated that actually watching movies at theater is better enjoyable “Not many people have a brilliant sound system, a TV that can play 3D at home. The equipment is very expensive to buy and to maintain in good condition. People can afford to watch and hear the best output without owning the equipment by watching the movies in the cinema. A high level of enjoyment can be attained in the cinema rather than at home.” On the other side she also claimed that it is more expensive in this way “A movie ticket may cost USD10 or more. The total cost per person may be even higher when people consume porn corn and drinks at the same time”, so, watching movies at cinema has either advantages or disadvantages.

Talking about watching movies at home and taking into consideration the same aspects, there are many differences either positive or negative. Relating with comfort, a house has the advantage that is so private with a silent environment, moreover that you can be down your bed and rest. The price of watching movies at home is really low because candies and sodas are cheap and you just buy what you really want; but as a contrast of a theater, the quality that home offers is so poor. In spite of the previous advantages of watching movies at home, quality of movies at home is not a good point, it because most of the movies that you buy are piracy movies and almost all the time they have sound problems besides that the screen where you are watching movies is going to be according to your TV. As mentioned by Sandy Berger in an article called Opinions Abound for Watching Movies at home, she affirmed that the popularity of watching movies at home are increasing the last year “according to some recent statistics 80% of Mexican population  prefer to watch movies at home than at theater, this agreement in relation to their cost, transportation and comfort”.     

As previously mentioned, either watching movies at home or at theater has many advantages and disadvantages to take into consideration, this kind of distraction or entertainment is going to be one of the most popular activities among people. Depending on what the person likes it is what he or she will choose. In my point of view I prefer to see movies at home because it is more comfort to me.

Conclusion

“The use of “Google” instead of libraries and reliable sources”

It is considered “Google” as a useful study tool for students? The use of Google instead of libraries and reliable sources has taken boom among students because of many advantages that it provides but, is it a real study tool? There are some reasons why “Google” is not as good as it seems to be:

Some sources in Google are unreliable. The main disadvantage about the use of Google is that much information there may be false which is a big problem for students because they can be learning unreal information which is provided for unknown people and not all the time it is reliable. On the other hand the use of Google cause distraction in user due to students tend to be browsing on internet for hours, doing anything except what they really need to do, as a consequence they waste a lot of time.

Students become lazy. Another point against the use of Google is that many students are stopping to attend to libraries and the worst, they are stopping to read but preferring “copy-paste”, it is because of the facilities that internet, in special Google provides; moreover than Google promotes plagiarism in students since everything you can imagine is on internet and it results very easy to steal the ideas of the original author of each document. Some sources show that the 87.4% of the population in the world spend most of their time browsing on internet and as a later effect, families broke their communication mainly.

Google is useful for people who have little free time. In spite of the previous mentioned disadvantages of the use of Google it is worth mentioning that Google can be also used with a productive purpose for example, people who has not access to libraries result them very useful this tool. People spend less time seeking information besides that they can do it from house without the necessity of leaving to do their home tasks.

Therefore, the use of Google instead of libraries and reliable sources has its pros and cons but the reality is that it depends on the ethic and seriously that the user gives to this one. It is important to say that Google can be very useful in situations so, let us try to give a good use to Google in order to allow this source of information continue working.
