Drama Kings and Queens


was sitting home a few days ago and my family was watching a Syrian Soap Opera. A thought came to my mind relative to peoples' ways of dealing with everyday life. I noticed many of the exaggerated actions in the show were the same displayed by many people in everyday life. My observation is that many people deal with many issues in a dramatic, unrealistic, and unreasonable way.



The question that came to my mind is whether media (in all its forms) is imitating life or is life imitating the media and we are all, or actually most of us, becoming drama kings and queens?



There can be many questions here, your opinion is greatly appreciated. (A)

I hear you, take for example news tv. Stations; they strive on action with catchy music, "dramatic" news broadcaster, and bloody headlines.

To answer your question though, I think most of us imitate media trying to revolutionize our reality thinking this is how we can express ourselves. This doesn?t apply to all of us though.
