16.Cultural life in our country – theatre, cinema, concerts, mass media
Cultural life in our country
The Czech Republic is famous in offering culture. You can find here a lot of theatres, cinemas, concert-halls, etc. On the other hand Czechs are famous as TV viewers, music and radio listeners.
Cinema
Mass construction of cinemas, which started more than 10 years ago was break-through going to cinemas. There were built big multiplexes for big number of people. New films were accessible in most places. By contrast, this scene is only in big cities, because smaller cities and countries are dependent on the bigger ones or they have a small cinema, where you can see only some premieres half year later.
Films showed in the Czech Republic are lately in original language with czech subtitles beyond child’s films, which are dubbed. There are some cinemas, which offer to see art films not showed in big multiplexes.
Very famous are in our country film-festivals. For example every summer people enjoy International film festival in Karlovy Vary. It is frequented by many famous actors, musicians, directors and other artists. Other very popular event is “The Czech lions” carried in Prague, where people vote the best films, actors, directors of year.
In our country mostly English films are showed, sometimes French. But our film scene is full of czech films too. In the last years in many interesting films like Pelíšky, Musíme si pomáhat or Kráska v nesnázích, which obtained international first price, were set.
Theatre
Prague is called cultural city or a city of theatres. The best known is of course The National theatre in Prague, which is the centre of operas and ballets. There are big differences between big cities and other places. In big cities you can find one and more theatres but in the smaller ones not more than a cultural house with a play once a month.
As I mentioned, the czech theatres offer both operas, ballets, dramas and concerts, alternative plays etc. In bigger cities and primarily in the capital city are tickets very expensive and sometimes difficult to get. Some small theatres like Theatre of Jára Cimrman has so many funs, that you must stay for buying a ticket with ordinal number for buy ticket in the afternoon in a long queue every first Tuesday morning in month .
The most famous theatres are The national theatre, Semafor, Vinohrady theatre, Tyl’s theatre or Smetana’s theatre.
The history of czech theatre is very wealthy. There were many famous playwrights and mainly opera-writers like J. K. Tyl, B. Smetana, J. Suchý, K. Čapek or J. Klíma.
In czech theatres are played dramas both world-known and czechs.
Music
As I said, Prague is full of concert-halls, in comparance with previous arts you can find very interesting and nice concerts in both big and small cities and countries. The most popular hall is Rudolfinum and there are some others.
Other kinds of concerts are in churches, like chamber music and organ concerts. Because Prague is full of churches you can find here very much concerts every day and listen to amazing sounds of reed-pipes.
At last there are some interesting festivals like The Prague Spring Festival, which is world-known because of the amount of world orchestras playing there. Next there are many smaller rock, hip-hop or metal festivals and concerts all over the republic.
Other arts
If you were some kind of fine-arts-people, in Prague there are a few exhibitions of architects, painters and sculptors. Majority of these museums and galleries are around The Prague Castle and Old Town.
TV and radio
TV sets or radios are things, which everyone has at home and mostly not only one piece of it. Today are this electronics affordable and many people buy as well satellite or cable sign and expensive videos or DVD-recorders. Why are these media-transmitters today so used?
They are very useful, because you can anytime turn on your TV or radio and listen to news, music or watch some interesting document or film. Many people are lazy or to poor too go to cinema to see a new film, so they will wait for premiere on TV and will see it from their own chair.
I think that today’s TV and its programs can contribute our education. But most of people watch TV only for some chat shows, soap operas and reality shows.
Soap opera-a programme often two or three times a week, which follows the lives of a group of people, the stories are exciting,dramatic,hard to believe
Quiz show, game show
Chat show/talk chow-a programme where a presenter talks to famous people about their lives and careers
Documentary-a film with factual information
Series-drama series, comedy series…-a number of programmes about the same situation or the same characters in different situations
Current affaires-a programme about a current social/political problem
Newspaper
The most-read in our republic are tabloids, which don’t have any standard, like Blesk or Aha!
From among of quality press we rank for example Lidové noviny or Dnes.
Newspapers are today the biggest information source. In Czech Republic some are free, given mostly at metro entrance, like Metro, 24 hours or Expres. But they are full of advertisements.
Broadsheets-quality press, large-in-size, that are newspapers larger than ours, for Example The Times(Lidovky)
Tabloids-popular press, small-in-size, with more pictures, for example The Sun(Blesk)
Special magazines
There are some free cultural weekly magazines, which inform you about cultural actions like concerts, plays, exhibions and there are programmes of cinemas and TV too. In our country it is for example Houser.
Mass media
Mass media is a term for media listened, read or watched by most of civilized people (inet, books, TV, radio, newspapers, CDs, billboards). They offer us informations about things around us (sports, news) but there is entertainment too. In the opposite of the term mass media is a term non-mass media. Those are resources to communicate between two people or a small group (telephone, post, e-mail).
Mass media is very strong weapon, because it can change people’s opinion and form whole civilisation. It speaks to millions of people and has a big influence on them.
Mass media are used like advertisement, like propaganda or like publicity campaign too. A big example for us is propaganda made by A. Hitler against Jews. Mass media arranged, that people thought, that Jews are under-people.
Mass media is fast progressing just 100 years thanks to progress of machines and press.
Press
It’s the oldest kind of advertisement. We know press already from 17th century. There are 3 kinds of it:
Broadsheets-quality and serious newspapers. There we can read only serious and reliable information which are verified, and which are from an independent source. There aren’t scandals and sensations. This kind of newspapers read mostly people with a higher education.
Tabloids or yellow press. The information there isn’t so serious, the redactors are looking for sensations. The main topics are violence, blood and sex. There are short articles written by large type and plenty of colour photos. This tabloid press is read by the majority of population, because people don’t have to make their opinion, they needn’t think about this news. It’s very modest.
Magazines are periodical publications, issue weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly. They are intented on special things like computers, business, science or they are the consumer magazines. Some of them are international. They are much more expensive than normal newspapers, but they are printed on a better paper.
The disadvantage of a newspaper is that it isn’t flexible, because when something happens, we can read it in newspapers firstly the next day morning.
Nowadays we can find some newspapers on the internet too, they are very actual, but they aren’t still so read like ordinary newspapers. You can take them with you, read it in a bus or while are waiting for a tram…
Television
It is nowadays maybe the most widespread medium all around the world. It has the biggest influence on people, because of moving pictures-it’s very easy to watch it. We can choose between two kinds of channels:
The commercial channels have most of their money from advertisement, their broadcasting is full of advertisements. The aim of commercial channels is to provide popular shows which attract an audience. For this reason the ideas of public broadcasting are often incompatible with commercial goals.
The public independent channels are serious and reliable, there are not so many advertisements, because of limits (adjust the number of advertisements per day). They are supported by state government.
We can watch TV films, movies, discussions, news, quiz, shows, TV series, soup operas, weather forecast, sport news, culture revue
Radio
It exists many stations with very different programme. It’s similar TV. You can listen to music too, classic or pop. Radio is quite useful when it is listened, for example in a car-it’s better for the concentration, sometimes is it a good relaxation. It’s possible to listen to radio on the inet too. It exists:
Private independent radios
Local radios
State radios
Net
There are a lot of informations, more than on TV, It’s world-wide and fast. We can find there telephone connection.

PHARMHOST Why choose us?

PHARMHOST .LTD
With extensive experience providing a broad range of hosting services, we are faced with the existence of separate categories of clients hosting projects connected with pharmaceutical theme. Taking into account some specificity of the topic, we decided to highlight this area in a separate project PharmHost.net
We landmark for customers who need cheap hosting services, dedicated servers, combined with an adequate level of service, performance and reliability. We are not the cheapest hosting provider on the market. Super-low cost is often achieved by the overselling of services, lack of backup and critical systems to ensure operation of the equipment, saving on the quality and quantity of support staff and engineers. Often web hosting companies that occupy a niche of super-cheap hosting does not always work as claimed.
Our hosting is the cheapest relative valuation: price/level of service provided. Often clients try to compare only the price, without looking at how it was achieved or comparing different configurations of tariffs. We declare that we have one of the market's best ratio quality/price!
Tornado, earchquakes?! No, it is XEvil.
