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.

One potentially dangerous media product.

If I had to choose one media product that may potentially cause violence, I would have to pick COD. COD is all about being competitive. It makes people mad, frustrates people, makes guys talk about their favorite guns and blowing stuff up. I don't think video games cause violence, but if I had to pick one it would be COD

BFC and Violence

Violence happens because people don't get along, it's simple as that. A lot of this happens because of how the social system in our schools work. In addition to being educated and CONTROLLED by the government, our school's are also a popularity contest. I think it's this popularity contest that is causing REAL violence.

Mining Celebrities

I have learned that plenty of people are willing to sell their sould for fame and fortue, including myself.
