DISCRIMINATION IN THE WORK PLACE (SEXES):

The work place should be where you can grow as an individual and become larger then what you started with, but how can you? In a place surrounded by men, a young beautiful women being harassed on the job over and over again. That what happens in a lot of cases but we the people doesn’t here about it. And I think this topic in the media is very important to learn about and here, because theirs women who never told but if you actually heard all the cases that happen then maybe another one would come forward.

RAP MUSIC

All different races listen to different types of music and each individual at times feel like they can relate to what the artist is singing, rapping about. But when does it become a media problem when a artist feel like they have to curse in their music to get their point across. Shouldn’t that be their business? You might have kids who repeat what they hear, but that’s not the artist fought if the parents chose to buy the c.d. that have cursing on it, because they do have the one without it. Or allowing the kids to watch videos that might have too much skin showing, or for not blocking that channel. A lot of times these videos only show in the late night hours like after 1am, so if your child is up then its on the parents.
But all music might have some type of profanity using, but just because a lot of people dislike rap music then they want to band the artist from selling his/her records, it just isn’t right. The critics have to be open minded.

DEVICES IN SCHOOLS:

I remember the times when it wasn’t any sidekicks, I pods, different types of ring tones on your cell phones, and etc. But in the following days these things are here and are growing everyday with new transitions and remodeling. Unfortunately many schools don’t want to allow such things in the building, that’s because the kids take advantage of the devices in the school building. While in the class the kids are playing the ring tones loudly disrupting the lesson, and texting each other instead of writing down notes. That I can understand why the principals are not feeling the new technology, but to say to students don’t bring it to school period isn’t going to solve anything. In many emergencies having a cell phone is very much needed in society today and I pods are something we like to listen to on our way to school, it doesn’t bother anyone. The schools should be stricter then maybe the use of these devices in the building would be limited like, taking it away as soon as you see it, and having the parent come and pick it up, etc. Then the kids would know that you are not playing.

"Media" ROBBORIES

How will you feel being at work on a regular day, knowing that everyday your life is in danger of someone coming in your store robbying you or shooting it up? Well this is a question that should be asked to anyone who decides to work in a convience store, fast food place or corner stores in general. Last night i was watching "Most Shocking Videos" and i seen a lady getting ready to close the 7eleven store when a man walked in wearing a mask. He shot at her head but it missed by a few inches, then she emptied the cash draw, and she was lucky because he just ran out after he was done. She pressed the button for the police but they never came. Now they should take extra pracautions due to situations like this, she could of been killed and the police never showed up, he could've been spotted. And this wasn't never scened on the news, its like alot of robbing occur but we as the viewers rarely ever see them, why? But let someone rob someone thats in office the whole thing will be on the news for days.

"Media" different information

How come if you watch the news at 5am on channel 5 have different information about the same topic on channel 7 at 5pm? Is that wrong to give people wrong information? I think it is, and even though they say they do it to make more watch one particular news more frequent then the others, it just isn’t right to do. For example: yesterday a young girl was found yesterday in her room dead using a jump, now some news channels clamed that she was molested or had signs of being so, and someone in the house was responsible for killing her. But when I woked up this morning it was no sign of sexual abuse and that it was a freak accident, the little girl probably killed her self swinging on her own rope in the bedroom. Now if I was the parent I’ll want the news to apologize for telling the people false information just to win more people watching. It’s a shame that out people choose to watch news that have more detail that are false than the one that have least info but is telling the truth.

"SCHOOL SHOOTING & TERRORISM"

How is it possible for you to wake up like any other day, getting ready for class, getting your books together, clothes on and leaving your dorm not knowing that this might be the last time being alive? Well students in Virginia can relate to this because that is what exactly what happened to them, while leaving their dorms going to class they had no idea that their was a mad man on campus that shot up a class room, left went to his dorm made a tape, sent it to the CNN and reloaded his gun for another round of killings of innocent people. No one was warned about this, how should they feel? MAD is what I say, the campus was not prepare for this and should of token extra precaution, because this could’ve been a terrorist attack once again, and we showed that we had our guards down, things could’ve gotten worst but luckily it didn’t.

Yes, the campus sent emails to the students stating that their was classes still in session, but they left out the fact it was a armed man walking around. Most people don’t have time to check their email in the mornings anyway so that was a bad decision to make, and people wonder if they would have just told them the truth, they could’ve stayed in their rooms, being scare but also being safe for harm, and less would have died.

*PRISON SYSTEM EDU*

~The prison system in United States~

The world is so against criminals its not even funny, like even though they might not even now if they are really a bad person or innocent person. It’s the way the media portray them to be which isn’t nice but that’s how it is. Example imagine walking to the store its late at night, you live I a bad area with your wife and two children, but you made the best of it as you can. The police stops you just as you going into your apartment now its around 12:00am, what would you do? If they asked you about a murder or rape that happened in the area, which someone said it was you who was involved in it and you know you wasn’t. You tell the police you know nothing about it, but they still end up arresting you, beating you up, yelling and cursing you out, calling out your name and everything. You cant fight them, so what happens, now your in the police station and into the morning hours your being arrested for a raping of a young white woman who was riding her back down the street, but because she says he’s a black male who did it, you the first one they seened and only one outside, they picked you up, just to close the case. The system don’t care if your innocent or not, just the fact your in jail, and people find out what you did, its not going to be a easy process to go through.
The jail system is horrible, because its cold in the winter, hot in the summer, the food isn’t great, ceo’s aren’t nice at all, and you constantly getting rape whether you’re a female or male, and beat up on the regular, it just isn’t safe. If they safe your innocent until proven guilty then treat people right.
When they do come home, their lives are routine because they was in jail, if you are clean and got a degree in jail, why isn’t worth anything out here? Then they go back to doing what they was doing it isn’t fair, one they it has to change.
