====In the world gay people talk about gay rights, I don't think it is wrong or right if you want to talk about that then you can do what you want to do. This is one perspective of someone who think that it is wrong to be gay and if he thinks this is right then this is something he should be able to talk about freely, "He believes that "pretending like it's okay to be gay" is an affront to decent humanity". On the other hand the writer/songwriter thinks that they should be able to talk about it freely, "The tale of a kid who's gay and growing up in a family who've shown him that they would never embrace him". I got these quotes from the article " The intersection of homophobia and hip hop: where Tyler met Frank.[|The Intersection of Homophobia and Hip Hop: Where Tyler Met Frank] ====

2-21-14 journal #2 The article [|Clothing for boys...and girls] is about how the avengers cartoonist Kevin bolk makes boys look like hero’s and girls look like they need a hero.  “The shirt for boys declares, "Be A Hero,"  while the shirt for girls (available in Juniors sizes) says, "I Need A Hero." ” They think that to be a pretty woman and to be successful they need a man by their side. If a woman is single it doesn’t mean anything about them it just means they haven’t found the one. In the second article it is talking about how Younger girls are staring to wear outfits that are very sexual and not appropriate for kids their age. Businesses are selling clothes and girls are wearing these sexy clothes because they think it makes them look sexy and beautiful. Girls think it’s okay and they don’t realize what they are wearing is like a pole dancer they are only doing it to get boys attention.

we can learn from these article about society that manufacturers and people who own shops think that girls need to show everything in order to be successful and have a boy. teachers are thinking that girls aren't smart by the way they dress so it is affecting school, future employers are going to look back and see this so it affects people's jobs. on websites and magazines the industry has gotten a lot worse with the clothes they are promoting. I think that people should dress how they want to dress and not let anyone tell them, they should listen to their parents but not let big shops and stores tell them.

====Our society looks for people who are beautiful, rich, powerful, and talented. I think that people should try and be better people when they are role models to younger people in society. Miley says "I wish I could be who I am without the fame." she also says "I don't put pressure on myself to be a role model, other than hopefully inspiring people to be good and to treat people well," Heros of today would be firefighters, police officers, military, and people who give up there lives to save other people. i think heros should be smart and selfless. I think we should value when people are selfless and fight for people and don't care how other people see them because people always judge people for no reason. for example you can be the nicest person ever but not look good on the outside and people will judge you without even having the chance to meet you. ====

the project we did helped us understand propaganda and how people use it in the real world. We had a candidate who was running for mayor, so we had to use things that would make people want him as leader.
