Fashion cannot survive without the media. Its success as both an art form and a commercial enterprise depends upon attention in the media. The media have played a vital role in shaping fashion into the complex cultural phenomenon it has become. Photography‚ and later film and television‚ have medialised fashion. Fashion has become an intrinsic part of today’s visual culture‚ and vice versa. Fashion magazines‚ glossies and women’s journals cannot exist without fashion‚ but fashion also cannot exist

Language is a means of forming and storing ideas as reflections of reality and exchanging them in the process of human intercourse. Language is social by nature; it is inseparably connected with the people who are its creators and users; it grows and develops together with the development of society. Language incorporates the three constituent parts ("sides")‚ each being inherent in it by virtue of it’s social nature. These parts are the phonological system‚ the lexical system‚ the grammatical

FOREIGN LANQUAGES IN OUR LIFE Language is human speech‚ either spoken or written. Language is the most common system of communication. It allows people to talk to each other and to write their thoughts and ideas. The word «language» may be loosely used to mean any system of communication‚ such as traffic light or Indian smoke signals. But the origin of the world shows its basic use.

The words we use from day to day are just random collections of letters that we have assigned meaning too. Even those letters that make up words were created by humans and were not natural or inherited from the planet. Reality is only what we believe to be real at that point. An example of what Saussure theorizes about language would be to look at the word‚ "fact". In
