THE TRUMAN SHOW

CINDY ESPINOSA


    The Truman show syndrome name comes from the 1998 film The Truman Show.
When the author Colin Lecher Talks about this syndrome she is trying to explain that people had always imagine things that are not real but our culture change what those things are.

     People from different countries have there own believes, their own way to dress their language which it means that every country is almost a different world, but i don't agree when a human  or someone else tries to control other people life for example the situation that Venezuela is living right now.
 
       In Venezuela the president wants to control all the citizens which all the people from that country doesn't want. This controversial is causing a lot of violence and a lot of death people. The people from different countries watch the news and they get to inform their selves about the bad situation that this country is living. On the film of Truman show Cristof created and  control Truman's life so everything that it was happening in his life was planned by him. Also in all the worlds people was watching his life.

      I strongly think that everybody in this world have the Truman show syndrome because we all try to follow someone else. In my case i fallow my big cousins life. My cousin studied, she graduated, she got married after she was a professional. My cousin and her husband bought a house and after they were sure that they were going to be able to take care of someone else that's when they decided to have a baby. She lives in Colombia but i always call her and i ask her for advises so i can do good in life.

    I always try to follow my cousin because my family always teach us how to progress and not to depend from someone else. In my culture usually the people want to be rich, but in a easy way, for example the girls they just try to get a drug dealer as a boyfriend or husband. They get to have all the material things that they want but at the end if they are not in jail they died. In my family since we were little they teach us that if we want to have a good life, we will need to plan and prepare to work hard for a life that we can get what we want. I know that when i get my children i would teach them the same thing so they would always learn or fallow my cousins steps because she is a good example of progress.

       We will always have someone to follow is because we think that this person had a good result in progress. We normally try to fallow a famous person or someone from the family. Thanks to technology or to believes of our culture we create our story in our life,which we don't know if is good or we are going to fell.
