So I am doing my Advanced Comp term paper on woman being portrayed in today's music videos as sexual objects and I think I have came up with quite the introduction. Please comment and let me know what you think and please don't steal my intro if you plan on doing a paper on this subject because that is PLAGIARISM!!!!!!!

Does today's generation music videos really portray women in a sexual light? I believe they do because almost every time I watch a music video, I notice scantily clad women shaking their behinds or propped in some provocative pose. I guess that most individuals, men especially, find it to be satisfying entertainment because sex is what sells. However at the end of the day, women are still being objectified and exploited in music media and I am not so sure that is a positive thing.

Devry is moving...yaaay!

So do you want to know what I am excited about? The Devry campus is moving from Long Island City, Queens to Manhattan and I couldn't be more excited. First and foremost it is more convenient for me. I live in Brooklyn and I have to travel close to an hour and a half to get to school. I have always had this rule that I've lived by and that is if I have to travel more than 45 minutes to an hour to get somewhere unless I am going our of town then there is a good chance I won't go. I prefer to go to school in Manhattan anyway because it always gives me a chance to explore the sites of Manhattan, places to go, places to eat, places to have fun and all of that. I guess they also realized that it was a more central location for a lot of people, that is probably why they decided to make such a big change.

Another Earthquake in Haiti

Wow, so guess what? If yo haven't already heard, Haiti had ANOTHER earthquake and this one wasn't a minor one either. According to the news and other reliable sources, the earthquake was a level of 6.1 our of an 8.0, which is still pretty bad. I feel so sorry for the people out there who have nothing and I feel even more sorry for friends I know that have family there. I couldn't even begin to imagine what these people are going through. Its bad enough that they don't really have much to begin with, but to have taken away the few things that they did have is just a terrible tragedy and though. I especially think about all of the children hat died in this fiasco. I also heard that a Catholic school in Port Au Prince collapsed, killing 500 kids. No matter what America is going through right now, it can never be too much trouble to be charitable and send donations for simple food and water. These are things we take for granted everyday, which they cherish. Please do what you can to help. I know this is a tough economic time, but I am if you are working, you can afford to send $5.00 or something.

Daily Curiosity- Cure for HIV/Cancer

So I am so curious as to why there still is no cure for diseases such as HIV/ AIDS and cancer. All of the money that is spent on unnecessary garbage, but we still have no cures for this horrible diseases. I mean the best thing to try to do is live a healthy lifestyle, eat well, exercise, be careful with your body (if you know what i mean), and all of those other things, but even living the healthiest lifestyle, no one is allergic to contracting them. Sometimes it just runs in the family or is passed on genetically which one can't really avoid. I know it is far from an easy task, but it still bothers me that we have no cure with all the money that we have squandered on meaningless things. Personally I don't believe they are looking hard. Don't get me wrong now, I do love this country, but maybe the government DID create HIV and the AIDS virus to slowly wipe us off the face of the earth. Why knows? But, I guess we will never truly know.

Daily Curiosity- The World Coming to an End

I wonder when will the world come to an end? Because I don't care what anyone says, it WILL come to an end. Society in general has done such horrible things which is slowly making the world go down the drain. I hope I won't be here when it does, or that my kids and THERE kids won't be here, but it it going to happen one day. Between the United States government and just the things that people do in general is really making everything suffer. Obviously we have been experienced a major break in our economy and NOT for the good. Through this recession, even people that manage to keep jobs all of the time whether its one or many, are even having problems getting employed. I can say that because I personally know people in this situation. The problem is that we are such a capitalistic society to the point where all we THINK about is money, not the well being of people, but just money. "Let's tear down these apartment complexes and build a mall over here instead. It doesn't matter that we are kicking people out into the street, making money off this new mall we are going to build is all we care about." That is a prime example of how people think nowadays.

Daily Curiosity- Child Molestors and Consequences

I am curious to know if child molesters will ever have a mandatory sentence of life in prison like murderers are. In my opinion, even though murder is a terrible crime, child molestation is worse. How can people who call themselves human beings even think about touching or looking at a child in such a disgusting way. Children are supposed to be innocent and when you do something so vile to them, there innocence is taken away. Why is it OK for child molesters to serve 10 year sentences and be able to one day walk out of prison and do it all over again to another innocent child? I think that child molestation should be a capital crime. Just like they give out life sentences for murder, unless its self-defense of course, they should give out those same sentences to child molesters. There are excuses for killing a person as I mentioned before, one being self-defense. But there is never a reason to touch a child like that no matter state mind your in.
