#29 She who must not be named

When I was more or less forced to watch "never say never" I actually hated JB even more at the end of the movie than I did to begin with. The movie is a perfect example of everything I hate about him and more.

#26 mooks and midriffs

I think the idea of mooks and midriffs is a great indication of how things are changing in the modern society. There's ultimately nothing wrong with it and it makes a great opportunity for advertising (Y)

#25 My popular culture

My popular culture consists of mostly rock music and UFC. MMA is my favorite sport and the UFC is the number one league for the athletes of that sport so it is very much a part of my culture. As for rock music, I think it's the most "tasteful" music that is actually part of pop culture.

What is my news story

Me and my group decided to report on the Justin Bieber baby fiasco. We chose this story because well .... we couldn't just NOT report on the story. It's a popular story, and with any luck it will ruin justin's career, and isn;t that all that's important?

The News

I do not keep up with the news because almost all of my friends are more informed than I am. Also I hang out in school where these world issues are being talked about a lot, I don't keep up with the news because everybody else is keeping me informed.

What should be censored

I don't believe in censorship. The is a point where it becomes nescessary, but something as simple as bad language should not be censored on TV. If the language is offensive to somebody's ears, they can change what they listen to. If a movie is too violent, don't watch the movie. It's really that simple. Of corse if this sort of stuff exists then people should have a sort of safe zone for their media as well. Violence sex and swearing should not be censored, but there should also be easy access to parts of the media where those things don't happen

Answer one of these questions

Technology has changed my ability to study in school for the better, I am able to use the internet to do research at the click of a button. I can watch youtube whenever I want. And I'm able to use a computer in order to type an assignment much faster than normal as opposed to writing things out long hand.

However, this new technology also means that more is expected of me and I'm not sure if it is fair to me. Since I am able to do research faster and do work faster, society expects more out of me than my parents. I'm expected to be a genuis who jumps through leaps and bounds to get a job, while my dad was able to make a living wage straight out of highschool.
