Television and Science

How is science a part of my life? When you start thinking about what science is and where you can find it, it is almost everywhere. It’s in medicine, chemistry, physics, computer and the Internet, engineering and so on. So when I first started thinking about the science in my life I did not quite figure out what that could be. I do not really look at my self as a science person as I am taking a major in theatre and are coming from at theatre background. After thinking about it for a while there is much more to it then just basic science that everyone knows it is.

When I go deeper in the meaning of what the science is in my life? I see that coming here, as an exchange student from Norway and having to use English to communicate with the people you meet in you everyday life science has been a huge advantage for me. In Europe most of the countries dub every TV show that are English and when they do that they do not really hear English as much as the countries who do not dub. And they do not get to learn English as well. Because that is what you do when you hear English in your everyday life, you start picking up words and sentences here and there.

So I would say, since Norway is one of the few countries in Europe that do not dub TV shows and movies except children’s we have a huge advantage of learning English. So since someone invented the television and made it a part of our scientifically world the television and movies are the science in my life. In the way a TV show can be science. By watching English TV shows my English has just become better and better. For me it is easier to pick up English words from a TV show rather then learning it in school. In school you learn how to write the words, but through television you learn the right pronunciation and most definitely the slang and accent.

So this was a part of why I decided I wanted to come to the US since I feel that I can comprehend the English language well. For me it has been the best way of learning English. Look up how they invented the television and how they made it; I will be forever thankful to them, without the television I would probably not be writing this right now.
