I think that musicians are entitled to say what they want to in there songs even if it offends people. i don't think its wise to write lyric that are controversial but its my decision its the musicians. If the music offends you then simply do not listen to it. "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." that's a quote about the rappers opinion of the use of "gay" words in his songs. he says he is not homophobic even though his lyrics use gay slurs as insults. in this article http://www.huffingtonpost.com/brother-ali/hip-hop-homophobia-_b_1864676.html all this is mentioned.

2/21/14 Marvel is sayings girl cant be heroes and the other article says that most young women are wearing inappropriate sexual clothing. I don't think marvel is being sexist its encouraging young men to be brave and courageous and good to young ladies. i agree with the other article though i think teen girls do wear somewhat inappropriate and sexual clothes but i don't get the problem they can wear whatever they want. if there parents don't want them to wear that kinda clothes thats between them to decide what to do.

====2/28/14 Miley Cyrus isn't a hero. A hero has qualities like bravery, cleverness, determined, strong and a good influence. Miley has non of these besides being somewhat good looking. She does not encourage people to do good things to themselves or to the society. She says she doesn't want attention but still does crazy stuff that obviously will create attention to her. She is a bad role model and is sexist and crazy. Fire fighters are trues heroes help people and the society.====

5/12/14 the recent project we did in english was when we got into groups of 4 and we each were assigned a person who is running for mayor of our town and we had to run against then other groups who had other other people who were running for mayor also. each groups person had a biography with good and bad things about them and the groups had ton work with who they got to make them seem the best choice. the main propaganda technique was name calling we called the other made up people running for mayor names that had to do with their past. the most challenging part was writing about our made up person running for mayor and making up how she or he is going to fix the community. it was a hard project and the competition with other groups was intense. i dont know where or when i will use the skills i learned for sure, but maybe in future high school and college projects.i will now understand campaigns and how to argue better using ethos pathos and logos.
