Blog # 3...

Radiohead: All I need.
In this video I can clearly see the argument that is being presented to the viewers. We can all tell that they are comparing the life of two young kids with a very different way of life. It's sad to see how the Chinese boy is being exploded with the labor over in his country. In the other hand we have this American kid that wakes up and gets ready for school. Although there is a big difference between their life's styles. There is still a similarity which is the age. The way the video was exposed and the song incorporated to this video it was really well done I suggest. It makes me value all things no matter how simple they are like in this case the shoes... Its important to know more about the things we buy and the Country we live in. The video has many messages and they can all be taken from a different point of view, but something we can all see is the way kids are treated in another place. Moreover we know that not everything is easy to do and that we don't have an idea of how much effort and sacrifice somethings take from peoples life to be made.

Essay #2


Prompt #3

The television has become a very important resource to have at home. I consider and this electronic device can be use in two very different ways, either for good or bad. The influence it has nowadays in our life is incredible but real. Today we wake up and one of the first things we do is maybe turn on the T.V, even though we might not even be looking at it. We are at home and this device is on most of the time. When we eat, instead of sitting in the table where we are suppose to be we go to the couch in front of the T.V. It is bedtime and the television once more goes on and that is if it's not on because other wise the television is running pretty much 24/7. The consequences of watching so much T.V can be a very high percentage in or life time and moreover it causes a big difference in our life. After reading the excerpt of Marie Winn, "Television: The Plug-In Drug" I realized that there is a lot going on referring to the T.V and family issues. Therefore, I strongly agree that television interferes with family life and keeps families from interacting in meaningful ways. The television is one of the main factors that cause families life style to change, create a gap of communication between them and the opportunity for expressing within the family.

Blog # 2 "Freedom of Speech"

I believe we have the right to express our selves at school. I understand that sometimes their are rules that we have to follow, but regarding to the dress code I think their should not be many issues going on because of this. We should be conscious with what we wear. I agree that their are people that sometimes we do things on purpose and have a purpose with the message of the
T-shirts. Even though we are in a country where we can do almost everything, we still have to analyze what we do against others and how we can disrespect some persons. In this case where the schools banned the kids t-shirts was wrong in my point of view. The reason why I disagree is because there are more t-shirts with more violence and worse messages and don't do anything about it...
