Topics for essay

My first possible topic is the epidemic of teenage pregnancy. I want to choose this topic because I think it is terrible the way teenage televison and movie stars, such as sixteen year old Jamie Lynn Spears, Britney Spears's little sister have gotten pregnant and publicized it. She has presented it to society as "cute" to have a baby. All the little girls who used to watch her show know that she has had a baby at such an age. Another example, Bristol Palin, Sarah Palins daughter who was seventeen at the time. This epeidemic will desensitize little girls and make it that less of a big deal to be pregnant.

The second topic I am thinking of choosing is internet predators. I would focus on how to decrease the amounts of them and create a safer interenet. There are so many different ways that this can be done which I will research. It is almost an everyday thing where you hear of some little girl or boy being assulted from these kinds of networking sites online. It is a project that would need lots of help, but definatly could have progress made on it.

The last topic I am thinking about choosing is innappropriate role models. There is so much to be explored with this. There are so many people in the media that I could use for this and create a very elaborate essay explaining why these people are not qualified to even be called a "role model." For example, in our parents age, it was good wholesome girls and boys who never presented themselves as raunchy and irresponsible such as the one's we are seeing today. It is a good topic that I think a lot can be derived from.

The main reason i might choose Kim Kardashian would be because she is shameful to all women. She presentes herself as an unintelligent person who is only out there for herself. Her whole purpose is to "look good" and she has nothing to offer. She does not present herself as a hard- working or respectable idol. She is more concerned with her outfit for that day than anything else.

To start, Kim is not very classy. This is evident in her "sex tape." Her attire is a give away, her chest is always very visible and not appropriate. You can tell she is flashy with her skimpy clothes. Not only is she a celebrity but she comes from a famous family who are now marked with that mistake. Her lifestyle of constant partying is not getting her anywhere. That is not a good example either. If I was to label her as anything, I'd have to say she was a sociallite. She also has no actual talent.

The warrant that leads me to this decision is that I think famous people are noted as people we can look up to and she definatly is not one of them. She is a wealathy, self- absorbed, partying, sleeze. She should not have a show on televison that young girls can watch and follow her examples. She does not deserve most of what she has since her parents gave her all her money. Kim is not a good role model.

Movie Review: Crash

Crash:

For the movie review blog I picked the movie Crash. This movie is based on racism within society and how people from different walks of life interact with one another. It encompasses their emotions and reactions to one another and it is a very honest movie. There are some suspensful scenes that keep you excited and eager. However, I'd have to say the most prominant feeling it I had was my anger.

I felt that my anger was strongest for a few different reasons. or one, it was hard to watch people treat other people with such disrespect and malice. We are all one and our colors do not define or make us who we are. Secondly I found that my anger was the most prominent due to the unjust way people looked at one another. For example, there are a few times in the movie where it came down to life or death and one of the black characters would not let one of the white men help her in the situation. Lastly, it made me angry beacuse I thought about the reality of it and how this is actually what goes on in today's world.

This movie is a real eye- opening film that I would suggest for anyone. It really shows you the struggles of every race as they encounter these sterotypes throughout the movie. It may also help you put away some of your unjust thoughts. I found it to be a very moving film that focuses on a big issue in our society.
