This I believe Essay: Getting angry can be a good thing

We just recently read a this i believe essay in preparation for our this i believe essay. This article was entitled Getting angry can be a good thing. This article was mainly about a Bolivian- American women who believes outrage can go a far way. She feels this way because when she was younger her friend said that when the americans have war with the Japanese her family was going to be sent to a internment camp. This made her mad because she felt as if her family was american. She knew that they werent fully american, but they werent complete immigrants. Her anger pushed her to work for the immigrants rights movement as an advocate.

I do agree with the author. Sometimes you have to be angry in order to be happy. You may be angry about something, and if you dont express it you will constantly be be angry. Its good to express ALL emotions. No matter the emotion its good to express it.

New Fashion Wrinkle : Gun Fashion

 In a 182-year-old clothing company they have created new pants called "Chino Pants". One special asset about these comfy and flexible pants is that they can hide a gun and other weapons such as knifes or flashlights. This came about because more people are getting permits to have and carry a gun with them because laws are becoming harsher on carrying around a licensed gun. These pants are sold at the price of $65 and are particularly made for gun owners who carry their guns with them and other weapons. They have also made shirts and other pieces of attire to hide a weapon in and also able to pull it out quickly. People wearing this clothing believe that it’s based off of clothing made for policemen and for soldiers. Many sports and other retail stores are trying to get a hold of there own "protecting clothing" but are making the clothes look very normal. They do this so a possible attacker may be afraid or unsure to do anything because its possible they may be "strapped". But everyone isn't a fan for just the fashion; they are only concerned with there protection.

     Well I do believe that carrying around licensed weapons is becoming more popular because people aren’t aware of who can do harm to them, now even more since they’ve made the pants and other stylish “weapon hiding attire”. I also do think Americans should carry guns for protection, but it also may lead to more deaths and injuries since everybody is armed.   

   

Parkway Health Fair 2012

The school year is coming to an abrupt end, so that means SENIOR PROJECT TIME! Just recently the seniors of parkway west conducted a health fair. Ten seniors where involved in this. First they went to classrooms and talked to student about what their senior project is on. They also bring a mentor with them who is from an organization dealing with their topic. Most seniors talked about sex. That includes stds, teen pregnancy, and abortion. While others talked about animal cruelty, and healthy eating habits.

Condoms, lubricant, oranges, cups, lotion and hand sanitizer are only a few of the free things given out at the health fair. Freshman Ashira Mason stated "They promoted healthy eating and protected sex." My favorite part was playing the game with freshman Keniesha and Mr. Brian. It was testing your knowledge on fruits and veggies with facts on each fruit/veggie. 

Im not sexually active put the seniors had given me helpful information on how to inform my friends on protective sex and stds. Overall the health fair was very successful.

Take a stand

Most do not only want the Justice for the young 17 year old Trayvon Martin to only be the arrest of his shooter, George Zimmerman. They believe justice for him is also giving young black children, focusing more on young men, to not be labeled as troubled or a threat to the community. They want young black men to be able to travel openly without worries of others being afraid of them. Parents of young black men want to teach them starting at birth all the way to adulthood about situations such as different backgrounds, integrity, honesty, justice, respect and the true meaning of community. Parents also believe that what ever there child turns out to be they will play an important part as well.

     They believe we should take a stand because this not only happening in Florida. It’s happening everywhere. They believe it is based in different systems created in this world based for African American children.  Some systems based of things like health, education, discipline, welfare and the Juvenile Justice systems.

     Therefore, they believe that we stop this by doing things. Like reaching out to the community, helping schools, vote, and volunteer and most importantly teaching our children.

     Well I do agree with the fact that there isn’t just one type of justice there for Trayvon. This situation made people realize how bad the labeling of a normal African American child was. It made me realize how important proving others wrong about how us African Americans may act or be.

Live jewelry or bling slavery?

http://travel.yahoo.com/ideas/live-jewelry-or-bling-slavery--.html

I recently read a very interesting article on yahoo.com. This article had me thinking, how far am i willing to go to set or be apart of a trend? Women in mexico have a very weird but fashionable trend going on as of now. Beetle jewelry is now very popular. Crazy right? It may not seem very appealing but trust me it is. Women decorate these bugs with chains and rhinestones. This unique fashion trend comes with alot of controversy. Animal activists say that this practice should be banned everywhere. These expensive broaches arent legal passed the mexican border.

Ewwwwwwwww, was my reaction to this article. How could someone wear a a bug as jewelry. Not only is it nasty, its wrong. You would not catch me wearing a beetle broach, even if they make it legal in the U.S. Freshman georgenna minor stated "It makes me feel as if i have bugs around my neck." While freshman Emaijah Johnson said "I would wear it as long as it isnt going to sting me.

Facebook is using you...

Facebook is now selling pieces of stock. The only thing that Facebook has to provide for the stocks are its users information. This well known website gets its money from different ads that appear from information on someone’s profile. Facebook makes $3.2 billion off of advertising and Google making 10 times that  from emailing and searching. Many things from the Internet has prevented people to get custody and also has a big impact on situations dealing with the law. There are also companies that are used only to look up information about what people do online. Using other people’s information from online can give off stereotypes. 


This article is interesting. I knew that jobs sometimes look at what you write on social networks, but i never knew that those social networks make money off of you. I am slightly concerned about what i post on twitter. I realize that the stuff i post can be held against me. That is why i am cautious about what i post. I have slipped a couple of times, but i wouldn't mind if a future employer seen stuff i tweeted.
