The Good Life, For who?

Women have always been subordinate to men in society. This is apparent in almost everything you look at. From advertisement's portraying women as sex objects to society telling women that they are only perfect if the have the bodies the models do. I remember that freshman year in health class, we talked about how ads affect womens self esteem this is still apparent today.

While watching Kanye Wests music video the "Good Life" their is a women who is just viewed as a sexual object. In the video Kanye boozes her up so she is easier go get. "Whether you are broke or rich you have got to get this" pointing at the woman he was objectifying. This is a perfect line showing how women are sex symbols.

I am Patriotic, How Dare You!

This weekend while campaigning in Rhode Island, Michelle Obama responded to a comment she made earlier this week. That comment was relating to whether or not she loved America before this election. I think it is very insulting politically, and emotionally to question one love for the country they are trying to improve.

The very fact that people are arguing with this woman about her views is a clear step from many previous elections. Because i was not alive, i asked my parents if they could remember any election where their were this many women involved. Michelle is campaigning without her husband in Rhode Island, Hillary is running for president and her daughter is also playing a key role by campaigning just this week in Hawaii. 

I think its very interesting because the unit were studying now, Women and Children, directly relates to modern day occurrences though we are in U.S history, not U.S current events. This also goes to back to the beginning of the unit when we asked the question, Do women and children still come first. I think that because of all these women getting involved in politics they are beginning to break down the barrier between men and women. Do you guys feel the same? Where do women stand in societies perspective? 

STRIKE!!!

With news of the writers strike ending i felt a little misplaced. I realized it was nice to live life without having to revolve my time around my shows. I can now do things i never thought i could before!!! With no new T.V shows, i have so much more free time for more AiS homework. It got me thinking that if so many more americans were not watching their T.Vs what else they could be doing. Maybe if the strike was forever, our obesity rate would decrease, out students would be back at the top of the world. Maybe a new era similar to western Europe's renaissance age would begin. That would be rock'n
