Issue 7

I personally think advertising can be good and bad. Why I say this is because in some ways it does keep us informed on what’s going on around us today and what’s new.  But another way you can look at it is media can cause people to look at others like they are lower than other. For example when a company is trying to sale cars it has young and fit people driving the car and they have nice cloths and look rich. I know it’s a way that helps them sale but it’s not realistic another example is for the axes body spray  ad on tv the guy buts on the spray and all the girls run to him. I know people don’t believe it works but the younger kids who don’t know better might because media brain washes you at a young age when we don’t even notice it.

Veterans day

The significance of Veteran's day is the appreciation of all Vets, not just the ones who have given the ultimate sacrifice. The day is largely intended to thank and appreciate the LIVING soldiers, those who have been sent to war and have returned. This day is celebrated during wartime and peacetime, and represents the total military effort. As mentioned, Memorial Day is a day that we recognize and grieve for those who have lost family and friends. The significance of both of holidays is to recognize, appreciate, and thank our former and current military servicemen.

Hate Speech Blog

issue 12

After reading issue 12 I was a bit shocked to find that it wasn’t really a hate speech it was more like a talk shit speech. All he was talking about was nothing this makes me believe that anything can be published these days besides all there other junk that’s out already. He also talks about Muslims and calls them jihadist and also says homeless are not the victims of misfortune there just lazy he says but I think the reason why some people are homeless is because they are ether addict to something or the come from another state and they can’t find a job. He also talks about how African Americans and says that there always dealing with the criminal justice system. When in fact that is not true because a lot of people go to jail doesn’t matter the color of your skin or hair. He also talked about how the government helps people and give out food stamp and thinks that the public is largely for white people which are being threatened by immigrants. I just think he is ignorant if he thinks this way because people who are still living here illegal still have to pay taxes buy food from our store pay for gas and live like normal people. And most of them always take the hard jobs that no one wants. I think this guy is just full of bs.

Racism

In today’s world racism exist everywhere not only in the U.S. but in other parts of the world. Racism has been around over hundreds of years. It is conscience of humans that few things are far superior to others. This can be explained in the detail with example of skin color. Cultural difference between various communities was one of the reason for abetting racism .As societies tries to bind itself together which has bound people to adapt to different cultures has indeed influenced hate and eventually given rise to racism. Asians been targeted in the western world. Asians are attacked because they have different culture and when they settle in western world they bring discomfort to western lifestyle therefore leading to racism. Skin color is another factor which has influenced racism. Though humans have the tendency to relate things with each other color is one of those factors. Africans are targeted because they are black and human ethics considers black to be related to bad or evil. They have been victims of racism from the white community, as they consider themselves to be superior to blacks.

pot ban in redwood city

As a resident of Redwood City I feel that Redwood City should be aloud to have dispensaries that can sale pot but the city thinks that by are city having those it makes our city increase by more crime. But in fact by them taking them away that would just lead people to buy pot from the streets. They say by taking them away that would stop the crime in Redwood City l think that people are still going to smoke and that would just help drug dealers make more money and sale more drugs. I feel like some people do abuse the medical marijuana but then again as long as there not hurting anyone why should we get into someone personal life. I feel everyone can make there own choices in life.
