To be honest,I was one of the public who had an endless hunger for people's background before I knew Richard Jewell's story.Of course,I know it's not legitimate to treat someone just like he/she is sentenced criminal by the lawyer.I think it's an eager of wanting to peep what's this guy was thinking. Let the suspect be besieged by the press and cameras around the clock is really what we want,I dont't think so.

I think it is a terrible experience for Ricahrd to be honud and besieged by mediaround the clock.
ReplyDeleteIf I is Richard,I wound be crazy because I think it isn't a legitimate to peep at other's
secret,everyone should have the right to keep to oneself . I believe if we can regard other'privacy, don't invade , the world would be wonderful .
戴昌戎
I allegation that people's privacy should always be the most important in our daily life .It is so unfree to be peep around the clock .It even makes me afraid.
ReplyDelete郭騰隆
Just because the media's reporting change his lives forever.wherever he go everyone was looking at him,and be besieged by reporters arounf the clock.If I were Richard,I would be disappointed and even anguish about it.I convince that if we can respect each other and realize the importance of privacy,our society would be more peaceful.
ReplyDelete張道依
Mrs. Jewell anguished deeply, because of her son was a bomb suspect. The incident which her son was considered as fair game completely changed her life.
ReplyDelete賴建宇
if i were Richard Jewell,I could be crazy.Suspected by everyone is a torture to me,and I also can not image the scene that beseiged by paparazzi.After reading this unit,I reflect myself simultaneously.If everyone do not so gossip, maybe these misery can not appear.
ReplyDelete朱基一
It isn't a fair game to Richard. The paparazzi have an endless hunger for everything about Richard. I think media should respect the right to privacy. Nobody likes to be hounded around the clock.
ReplyDelete王欣怡 Hsin Yi
When a nobody becomes a celebrity,he/she has to orient being besiged by media around the clock.Although it is not a fair game for whom is a celebrity,it is a real life in today's society which nobody can change easily.But we are not animals in the zoo,we can't tolerate being hounded by photographers every moment,everywhere. 黃亭瑤
ReplyDeleteThe power of media usually effect our judgement.However the wrong guidance may make great anguish to the victims or innocent people.So we have to use media in the proper way.
ReplyDeleteI am agree with Good. We should place ourselves in Richard's position.Don't let the public opinions allege someone who is he or she.
ReplyDeleteIn mordren life , celebrities are always been sieged by media . Anywhere they go , they are peeped by the paparazzi . Due to the curiosity of the public , paparazzi try hard to take interesting or shocking photographs of them that they can sell to a newspaper.
ReplyDeleteBilly 蔡富臣
I think that NEWS Media is a good way to collect information.But who was always bother by repoters may fell anguish.Because no one like to always around by clock.So NEWS Media is also a unfair game.
ReplyDeleteTo those famous people hounded by journalists and photographers,who fallow them around the clock. Privacy might be the price they pay for being famous. Every movement the make,every step they take is under scrunity by public opinion. It is not a fair game between media and people being reported. 吳宇亮

I think that richard a.jewell had an unforgettable memory in his live.
ReplyDeleteNo matter that he will be judged
legitimate or not.it will make him can.t have a normal life
蔡碩堅
The public opnion can really give a person a great strees.Poeple should have thier own privacy,but privacy will be the price they pay for being famous whether they're valuntary or not.In my perspective,knowing other poeple live doesn't give my live any benifit.For that reason,I've totally on interest in other poeple's live.
ReplyDeleteMedia is terrible. Although Richard Jewell just a suspect, he was besieged by reports around the clock. Then, he loses the privacy. He must have a lot of anguish. I think that the reports should look up the clear truth before they open the news.
ReplyDelete郭明賢
I allege most of people are wanna make a common person,my judgment is that everybody wants to a stable life ,for children,they didn't want to be restrict ,for adults,they wanna have a tranquil incomes.
ReplyDelete詹祥志
Before I read the essay, I beleve the news
ReplyDeletethoroughly. But now I could change this thought . After reflection, I think the definition of the sensible reader is that we have to judge the reality from the report,and the ligitimate in the article as well.
朱基一
Because Richard Jewell was accused to put the bomb, he became the suspect and was besieged by paparazzi around the clock. He is really pitiful, not only has los the right of privacy, but face the social populace's public opinion. Even if is the suspect, he should also be respected.
ReplyDelete許詩卉
In taiwan,the media like newspaper,magazine.tv.To provide we news every day.But the reporter want to make more people there news.Often to amplify there news.Makes there report not so correct.So after we got the data from media.We must have to judge the false or true by ourself. 蔡碩堅
ReplyDeleteI am agree with kluze.everyone have so special experience would had a unforgettable memory in his live.It is a really bad experience. what a terrible consequnce that bringed by bad using of media
ReplyDelete郭騰隆
To tell the truth, I don't like sensationalized news, esecially the one paparrazzis report. The contents sometimes are just their allegation, or someone's privacy which the paparrazzis almost don't have the justified reason to let the public know. Their behavior let the sufferers can't keep to oneself and even manipulte the public opinion to the wrong perspective.Facing this kind of situation, we have to use our own judgment to justify the news, and learn to suspect any information, or there will be more people like Richard Jewell.
ReplyDelete鄭宓妮
I agree with 吳宇亮. Maybe we have lost the game with media at first. Because we don't have enough tools to protect ourselves from paparazzi. They are everywhere, and try anything to know someone's privacy and try to make it a sensationalized news. Sometimes, media really makes me feel disappointed.
ReplyDelete鄭宓妮
A man who is besieged media and public opinion is a irritable thing. I think that the reporters are supposed to place themselves in the position of other people.So,we should not find other people's secret casually.
ReplyDeleteRichard Jewell is unfortunate,he Lives in the pain because of paparazzi.I thought that even if he is a celebrity,he still have own privacy.
ReplyDelete曾唯豪
I agree with Good.I can not put up with the life which full of "look" too.
ReplyDelete曾唯豪
Under the public opinion,the famous man beg
ReplyDeletefor forgive.Beacouse he do something that
can't accept for most people.
Mr.Jewell was named as a suspect and was hounded by reporters everywhere he go.
ReplyDeleteWe should justify the news by our judgement.
i allegation if media can protect somebody's privacy,may be have more reader.Because privacy is the most important for everything.
ReplyDeleteIf media continu to lay open privacy,people can not be suspect them in the future.
"Well Tseng" is right.please to protect privacy!!!
ReplyDelete小玲
I agree with 楊彝綱
ReplyDeleteThe famous people often beg for forgive from public because he has no privacy gor himself.
The media is supposed to be free and not
ReplyDeleteinfiuence on tycoon.In my perspective,
the society should be abandon the tycoon,
because they are harmful for world.
I agree weth myself,because I hate
ReplyDeletecapitalism and capitalist.
陳恩沛
If I were Richard,I would be driven nut.I think the privacy of celebrities shouldn't be considered as entertainment for the readers of the media.Besieged with thousands of eyes around the clock,the celebrities would have a lot of pressure in front of the media.I think we should repect their private lives and leave some space for them.
ReplyDelete潘欣懿 Isabella
I want to reply 張道依's post .Owing to the great change to the report I could realize ,I agree the sadness of 張道依.
ReplyDeleteI think that Sean is right.The media around us always influence our perspective on the news.
ReplyDeleteI think every one should have their private life.If celebrities can not have their own private life that the price they pay are too large.We should not let our curiosity cause their great anguish.
ReplyDeletecomment to 林祺洋 Sid :
ReplyDeleteAs the saying goes,the water that bears the boat is the same that swallows it.We should figure out what happen but not be lead by the nose.It's everyone's responsibility to put the media under scrunity. Make a legitimate use of it then we could have a much more friendly society. 吳宇亮 Yu-Liang Wu
Although sensationalized news stories sometimes seem to be based on facts They are not always unquestionably true we must make our own judgement to put news stories under scrutiny 嘉祺
ReplyDeleteI agreed with mini's allegation.As a educated person,we should not only listen to others but also have our own perspectiveat at such critical thing.Deep speculation is needed for everyone. 陳芃均
ReplyDeleteI have only few minutes to make four post,it is freaking terrible and I still do not know which four to make a post.It is still another tragedy.
ReplyDelete蔡信晢
I think 潘欣懿 is right,we should pay our regard for privacy.
ReplyDelete戴昌戎
I think that public do have to pay part of the responsibility owning to there endless hunger to celebrities' privacy.Sometimes personal marol plays an important role.
ReplyDeleteMedia is amazing tool, because it can help people make his/her dream come true, it also let people feel anguish due to besieged by reporters around the clock.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Leo Liu's allegation. Peeping others around the clock is really making people feel crazy and anguish. Everyone has his/her own privacy that we can't invade. When the reporters report the news always stand at their side. So, we watch the news on TV or newspapers should keep our perspective .
ReplyDeleteThere has been a funny teacher in my senior school life!
ReplyDeleteAs my speaking i had a funny and possitive
english teacher!
Every time when someone ansered her question with a weak voice .
The teacher will shut out and say:Sorry little snow white i beg your pardon!!
CHAD 蔡崇煒
I agree with the comment that 林祺洋 had say!
ReplyDeleteBut i suppose that you can tell something
different issue not just media like last week
we have done!^^
CHAD 蔡崇煒
I think 旭程's post is a good example of a advantage of media. It is many aspects of media. We have to take every aspects to look at media.
ReplyDeleteIf I were Richard Jewell,who Suspected by everyone,I think it is torture to me.So we should judge the things is right or not,and usually suspect the media's says.
