Casey Campbell 2/7/14 B[|rother Ail] raps about homophobic topics some people might sound offensive. I think that rap should come from the heart and your own beliefs. The hip hop artist should express their own opinion on sensitive topics and shouldn't care about what other people say about it. He say

=
"I'm not homophobic. I just think 'ft' hits and hurts people. It hits. And 'gay' just means you're stupid. I don't know, we don't think about it, we're just kids. We don't think about that s--t. But I don't hate gay people. I don't want anyone to think I'm homophobic." This shows that he feels strongly about the homophobic topics. =====

Both of the articles talk about clothing and the effects of it on ourselfs and others:

i will first talk about the "[|Sexist Avengers"]talks about how Avengers came out with t-shirts that are afensive to females. The t-shirt's for boys said "be a hero", the t-shirt for girls said "i need a hero" this to me showes that men can only be hero's. I personal don't want my child male or female thinking that those t-shirts are true. The Avengers need to be teaching childern that anyone can come in and "safe the day" no matter what gender.

The next article,[| A line Between Skimpy and Skinny], talks about how young girls are wearing to small or to tight of clothes. The article talks about a mother and her 2 daughters wearing skimpy clothing, the mother feels that the girls need to learn to respect their own bodies so that men will too. When I go to the mall and I buy clothes all you can find are "skimpy" shirts and dresses, therefore what else do you want me to wear? To respect there bodies no matter what clothes they wear.

I have to say that i am a HUGE Miley Cyrus fan! However i do have to say that some of the things that she does are bad. I don't think that she is the most feminist person in the world, but i admire her confidence. I wish that i can raise a daughter that has the same confidence e has her. I think that all women need a little Miley in them, they need to be confident, self worth, and can do whatever they want to do. I don't think that i have the confidence that she has i would never imagine going on stage half naked for the whole world to see. She is a strong women and doesn't need the approval from anyone. I agree with movie, star [|Jennifer Lawrence], Miley's actions can be bad at times but her confidence is something to admire.

3/16/14 My favorite dish that my mom makes would have to be, mashed potatoes. I really enjoy mashed potatoes because they are kinda like their own mini meal you can add things to them making them a nice meal for a family!!!!!

5/12/14 The project that we were assigned was a campaign, the class split up into groups of 5 people and were giving a canedent. Each group had to make three or more campaign advertisements. You could choose from, a poster, commercial, flyer, mailer,press release, speech and a newspaper ad. In each of the advertisements you had to give ethos, logos and pathos. My group used those in the commercial and speech. In the commercial we used bandwagon, name calling, glittering generalities and plain folks. Overall the most challenging was the lack of directions given to our group. The speech and the commercial were the easiest part for me. For the classes in the future, I would suggest giving the students a sheet of directions and examples so they know what you are looking for. I would use ethos, logos and pathos in future and this class to show that i know what i am talking about and appear more credible. Also the techniques would be useful in essays and assignments dealing with debts. I would use the propaganda and rhetorical techniques outside of high school to win debates and to prove the credibility.
