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.
