SECTION 5

Dear Harry my recommendations about which salary and purchase plans you should take. Starting with your salary I suggest you choose option 2 because you earn $1,462.05 more than option 1 on an annual rate. The increase of interest rates has been all over the news lately so be careful what deals you take and if you take the wrong deal it might effect your whole budget and sacrifice stuff like clothes and personal expenses. That means take your time with the deals you make and theirs plenty of great businesses that will be willing to give you a great deal at an affordable price. Also petrol prices are a big problem people have been having to change their life style and spend less on their own personal expenses just to pay for petrol, so if you want a good budget and not going in debt i suggest buy petrol on Tuesdays and spend a little less on yourself. If you take my advice you will be comfortable and thank me later. So I believe you should choose purchase plan 1 for your future car because the monthly repayment and total purchase price is lower than purchase plan 2.

What influences your values about issues relating to your life?

The things that influence my values about issues relating to my life would have to be my friends, family and the media.

Do you ever compare images/values presented by the media to those of the bible? If so why? If not why not?

I have never compared images nor any values of the media to those of the bible simply because doing so has never crossed my mind.

How do you feel the media portrays social justice issues?

I feel that social justice issues are all portrayed differently depending on the type of media. Sometimes the issues are portrayed how they should be, truthfully. While on the other hand issues are sometimes are edited and things are added to the story for the sake of appealing to more of the audience, because they might believe that the social justice issue won’t be interesting enough.

Has it been difficult to find articles on social justice issues why/why not?

No it hasn’t been difficult because social justice issues are all over the internet, just as long as you have an idea to what your looking for you will have no problem. For example if your looking for a social justice issue relating to poverty all you have to do is go to a reliable website that provides news and current affairs and you might just find what your looking for on their homepage, if not theres always the search bar.

Do you think that the media operates from a moral framework? Give evidence by using your research.

Original Image of Jesus

“Jesus: The chosen one”

Justin Nacua

23^rd June, 2008

Pencil and Paper

Held in artists visual arts diary

The way i have chosen to show my image of Jesus is shown in this drawing i have done showing Jesus wearing the infamous crown of thorns symbolizing the pain and suffering Jesus has gone through for all of humanities sake. I drew this image on a normal sheet of a4 paper, at first it started of as just a random sketch but then later on the image began to take shape. Using different types of lines i was able to make the effect of a rough sketch with many details which could be seen in many ways for example scars from the excruciating pain of the scourging he had endured. One of the most captivating things to me in the artwork is the crown of thorns which is simply made up of sharp lines placed in random areas which all turned out the way i wanted it to, messy.
