Without Advertising there would be no Brands. There would be no Nike or Coca-Cola or anything, and I think the world would be really boring without these. I think a lot of our culture as Americans comes from advertising, almost as if advertising is modern day art. I also think it can go to far. For example in the movie, the company was thinking about making song books, or making song an adjective. Besides the fact that those make me not want to fly on the plane, I think that's a bit to far.

Advertising

Advertising is something that happens everyday. You may not know it but you are advertising when you wear the designers clothes and shoes. You also advertise with the kind of food you eat. Advertising is a big deal in the economy today. There are lots of advertising in movies , commercials, TV shows, and billboards.when you really think about what does advertising really mean.this a commercial ad about Pepsi.I wonder what the economy would be like if nobody advertised anything would  people be as successful as they are without the world advertising there product.

Detroit State of Mind

   Despite the many unfortunate aspect of the motor city, I know a particular place the uplifts the city. They have great faith when it comes to the improvement and uplifting of the city. That place is Detroit Academy of Arts and Sciences . This school not only educates young kids from all areas of Detroit but they allow many electives and sport to give students the opportunity to show there talents and express themselves through their work. I attended this school from kindergarten all the way 6th grade. I took many creative and performing arts cases, such as art, music , piano, choir, and dance. Anyway, my point in writing this blog is to acknowledge a positive aspect of the city that seems to make Detroit citizens fairly happy is the success and potential stored within this school. over the past year the DAAS choir has had many accomplishments. one of those accomplishments were  that the choir got a chance to perform disney world last year. Since my little cousin was a part of this i got me and my brothers got the chance go and watch her perform. Last year, Ellen DeGeneres surprised them with  a Skype call and actually paid for them to perform at disney world. She also featured then in her season 12 promo. the last but not least thing that makes me so proud of DAAS is the Detroit State Of mind video. This was made a year after I left was extremely happy to see my former choir members do something so huge.

Mean Girls:Insulting Lie? or Exaggerated Truth?

Many people find mean girls a fairly comical movie, which i have to agree with. But , what if the content of that movie were a reality. What if girls did refer to each other as sluts and whores? What if girls feed of of the unhappiness of other girls? What if girls really cheated on there boyfriends or slept with there best friend's boyfriend? What if girls secretly envied each other? What if girl's began to think about drama, boys and gossip more than there own education and future? The sad part about it is that these type of things often happen in high school. Not very funny, huh? In fact it's kind of scary. I think it's safe to say that mean girls is a fairly comical film, but the basis of the joke is in fact a horror story.

Detroit Schooling

   Detroit's school system is beyond broken. Being a person who has experienced Detroit public and charter schools, as well as a suburban school district such as BPS, I know that Detroit schools in general are way beyond behind suburban schools. I know that some Detroit charter schools have better academic program , than those of Detroit public schools. I remember going from a charter school, Detroit academy of arts and sciences to McDowell Middle School . Upon my transition of schools I found myself learning what nouns, verbs,  adjectives, and prepositions were in the 7th grade. When I had learned this 2 years ago at my last school. Although sad, thats not the worst part about it. The one thing that made me realize that DPS and Detroit charter are lacking major factors needed to give a child a healthy education was coming to a suburban school. suburban schools all over Michigan and I'm pretty sure the country are excelling over Detroit. Meaning that the students in Detroit are being prepared to fail. CAN YOU IMAGINE GOING TO COLLEGE WITH OUT THE BASIC FOUNDATIONS THAT YOUR PEERS POSSESS?

Always Remember.....

   there's a quote/saying/prayer (whatever you prefer to call it) that says. "grant me the serenity to accept the things i can not change, the courage to change the things i can, and the wisdom to know the difference." Everything that we have been talking about in class constantly reminds me of this saying. It is extremely important to do what you can to make a positive impact or change for better when you can. However, the most important thing in life is not being accepted by everyone, because in all actuality there will never be a time where everyone will except you. In my opinion we should focus on what makes us happy.

Racism

   What don't we know or understand about racism? what do we wish to know about racism? What do we know that a lot of people don't?

   Their isn't to many thing that I don't know about racism. then again, if I don't know them how will I know they exist. so, I'm going to just start of by stating thing i do know that a lot of people may not know.

• Racism DOES still exist. (obviously)
• Racism is bigger than just Black vs. White
• It's possible to be Racist, even if you are "friends" with a person from another race.
• Their is a difference between being stereotypical and being racist.

Right now this is all I can think of, but I will post as they come to me.

The Difference between Men and Women

There is a big difference between Men and Women. First is they way we think men tend not to care about stuff to much so don't really take the time and think about stuff like us women do we tend to overthink. when it comes to responsibility women are more in control . In relationships most would think that the men would make most of the decisions but in reality all men know that women make the hard decisions.Women and men have different ways of communicating. Men and Women brains work in two different ways.

                                                       

Lisa's point

What was Lisa's main point? Do i agree?

Lisa's delivered a very important message through this particular Simpsons episode. The message, or what i from it, was that young girls often grow up under the wrong influence. At a young age we have barbie dolls that we idolize. although it is impossible to look like these barbie dolls, we still want to look like them. we want their hair, body, and face when that is less than likely to happen. not only are we idolizing barbie dolls we idolize TV personals who may fall under the stereotype of women. we grow up wanting to be someones wife and mother before we even learn how to multiply. not that there is anything wrong with being a wife and mother, but i feel like young girls should want to serve a bigger purpose.

The Donald:

Donald Trump has been getting a lot of talk in the Media, and as of now he has a 0% approval rating on our blog (out of 5 votes). I think he's a pretty bad candidate, but has some good ideas. He is pro-choice. He says he wants to raise taxes on the wealthy. He also supports a single payer health insurance plan. Then he says stuff like he wants to build the border wall, and he'll deport all of the Syrian migrants if he gets elected. He also released his tax plan and he definitely does not want to tax rich people. I think he's really close to falling off in the polls. I think the republican nominee is going to be Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio. Donald is almost guaranteed to fall off and so are Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina, I think.
