Jena Six

Ofcourse this article is upsetting and unpleasent to hear, but to me it was not to big of a shock. People still feel this way, and its very sad. Not saying all people feel this way but some do. Alot of simmiliarities bewtween Little Rock Nine and the Jena six. Involved education, school i feel should be a place to learn and somewhat to feel secure in, it shouldnt be a place of fear. Both of the students were of the same race. The Jena six were arrested for this incident and the Little Rock Nine were not allowed entry into Central Highschool. Both had happened in the same month just different years, you would figure these type of incidents would be stopped or avoided but still till this day kids face these types of problems everyday.

College education survey

W:8,7

AA:0,0

A:1,1

H:7,5

For my survey i did not get to ask these questions to all the races provided on the survey, i associate with all races and i dont mind but the people i had around me at the time were mainly white and hispanic.Maybe back then it would have seemed that the minorities were the ones not getting the education and that the whites had endless possibilities, but now a days i think its completely different. Everyone has an equal chance in my opinion. Not everywhere you go it is like that very few places though, but i believe the places and people i surround myself with it is and so should everyone else.

Door mat?

Without even reading this ad, just by looking at it you can see right away how it displays sexism. The man is clearly stepping all over the woman, she is being portrayed as a door matt or a rug you step all over. It cleary shows that woman have no say in anything, the men rule everything and can step all over the woman in business,eductaion, and even in their own home. Men control everything. The picture changes a saying to "waking all over women" to reality as a woman is portrayed as a rug and a man stepping on her! It implies that woman are weak and can do nothing but cater to the men and jut follow their orders.

Its SNOW! (timed write)

Christmas morning in sunny Florida as well as cold. Waking up on Christmas morning with my family in our pajamas ready to open gifts. Mom comes upstairs to wish us a Meryy Christmas and to tell us goodmorning. She then opens blinds and in shock jumps up for joy. All my brothers and sisters wonder whats going on, we all jump out of bead and head to the window. We look out and what do we see?. Its snow, its everywhere! On the cars covering the streets. My family living in Florida had never seen snow before. All in awe staring out the window at the pretty fluffy white snow ready to get on our jackets, gloves and hats amd have a snowball fight and make snowmen and snow angels, something weve never been able to do. ahhh this was the best Christmas EVER!

Television and its messages

To young children television does not really have an impact, most dont really understand whats going on. As for teenagers all the reality shows, music videos, and comedy, has a horrible effect on teenagers, It sends the wrong message out no matter what you watch. Peer pressure is something almost every teenager goes through, if they see something on the televison and they see these celebrities doing something, their going to think its cool and t to try because "everyones doing it" so they THINK. Most teens feel like they need to be apart of the "IN" crowd and will do anything to fit in. Its hard to avoid these type of interactions because television is everywhere, so easy to get acces to. For the most part television has a very strong impact on todays society especially teens, but not in a good way.
