If I was given the authority to name a street after one particular foreign person, I would give this honour to William Shakespear. There are many charismatic historical figures to choose from and many achievements to be listed, and you can't quite compare them and say that one is more valuable than another. But William Shakespear's heritage that still lives among us is always so topical that it actually seems to be ageless. I personally think that his works are perceived now by many young people as something old and boring, something that everyone has heard of, but no one actually wants to read. And I think that it's a great pity. His works cover so many areas of our lives that literally any situation can be related to one of his masterpieces. Teenagers should definitely read Romeo & Juliet as a great love story between two young hearts. University students would really enjoy Hamlet with his battle with himself, they could really relate to his searches, and probably his famous "To be or not to be" will finally make more sense to them. Shakespear's historical works, such as Henry IV, Henry V etc., are not only incredibly well-written epics, but also a great illustration of a deadly history of British monarchs. Many people say that the history of British royals is very much similar to the Russian history of frequent changes of families in power. And there is no need to mention his contributions to the world literature, which are great and countless, and especially his significance in formation of the English language as we know it today. I think William Shakespear is underestimated here in Russia, and probably the fact of naming a street after him, could wake up some interest and make people wonder about why he's so popular abroad.
Mass media (Сдесь возможно больше предложений чем надо ) Mass media (that is, the press, the radio and television) play an important role in the life of society. They inform, educate and entertain people. They also influence the way people look at the world and make them change their views. Mass media mould public opinion. Millions of people in their spare time watch TV and read newspapers. Everybody can find there something interesting for him. On the radio one can hear music, plays, news and various discussions or commentaries of current events. Multiple radio or TV games and films attract a large audience. Newspapers are used in different ways, but basically they are read. There is a lot of advertisment on mass media. Some of the TV and radio stations and newspapers are owned by different corporations. The owners can advertise whatever they choose. But it is hardly fair to say that mass media do not try to raise cultural level of the people or to develop their artistic taste. Mass media brings to millions of homes not only entertaiment and news but also cultural and educational programs. There are more then six TV channels and lot's of radio stations and newspapers now in the Russian Federation.
