Verbesserung der 1. Schularbeit

There are so many different types of families, extended families, nuclear families, foster and adoptive families and also more and more single parent families or same sex families. But which one is the perfect family? A family has to be loving and warm. It’s absolutely unimportant what kind of family it is, because each has the potential to make you feel loved. And that’s what makes a family perfect.

The play “virgins” presents a nuclear family. Superficially they are normal, living in a suburban terraced house like many others. But I’m still quite certain, that they are a negative example. There are so many problems, for example the parents. The woman is the provider, who calls the shots, while her husband is a push man, who seems to have problems with his role. Especially the father-son-relationship is really bad. The father even insults his son, doesn’t understand or trust him. In addition, the son has a lack of respect and is cheeky. Everyone in this family doesn’t fit here style and cannot express the feelings, apart from Zoe, who is somewhat different.
Therefore, when you analyse this family, you can see that it’s really important to have a clear role in the family. It’s not important who is the provider and who the homemaker. Both mother and father, have to be satisfied. Of cause, there are single-parent- families, where one person has to be both, but also such people should feel good in their role, because unhappy parents mean difficult family situations. In my opinion parenthood and marriage should be together, but sometimes it’s better to split up, because a happy mother or father is better than unhappy parents.
Children are the soul of a family. Without children it’s not really a family. But how many children does the perfect one have? I think it has to be more than one, because children shouldn’t be alone, as nothing is more horrible than a latchkey child. Moreover brothers and sisters are important for a good upbringing, because that’s how they learn how to fight and to share. Although I like big families there shouldn’t be so many children that parents don’t have got enough time for each of them. A child shouldn’t feel like I-am-just-one-of-many-others.
Upbringing is one of the most important things in society. Both parents, if there are two, have the same rights and should try to do the best. Furthermore it should be clear how they define a good upbringing. Parents can be strict or not but they have to love their children trust them and help them whenever they need help. In many cases people with a good and warm upbringing do the same for their children, which is important for a good society.

To conclude, I want to say that I strongly believe that every kind of family can be a perfect one. A family loves you whatever you do. They forgive and try to understand you. A perfect family tries to do the best to make you feel at home.

Letter of complaint --> sexist advertisement

Dear RTL- Team,


advertisements you broadcast


I am often watching your channel. But I had to notice that you broadcast many dubious advertisements since a few weeks. I want to complain about how you present women in such advertisements and how you create a wrong image.

A large percentage of the advertisements you broadcast are things for women, which should help them to look younger, slimmer, and fresher. Is this the only way to look good? We can see many semi-nude girls with a perfect (of cause retouching) body, which has nearly nothing to do with a natural look anymore. There are unnatural men too, but not as intensive as women.

Do you know what you are doing to many young girls? You create a wrong idea of how they should look like and so many poor girls try to reach this impossible look. I’m sorry to say this, but things like that are blame for beauty craze, more and more plastic surgeries and anorexia. Women lose their self-confidences and lose their ways. And also men start to believe that a woman should/can look like this, which is even worse. In my opinion such advertisements are sexist and discriminative.

I can only try to talk to people like you. I hope I present my concern understandable and I would be very glad, if you decide to limit this kind of advertisements.


Yours sincerely,

Anna De Gaspari
