As a young kid growing up in the first decade of the 21st century, a lot of the big news stories didn't seem so big, because they were just a part of daily life. Either they came up before we were old enough to understand how big they really were, or they just weren't interesting enough for us to care that the world was changing. Of course, we knew some of the stories were actually very big deals, and while we may not have quite understood it, we knew it was big.
In Lisa Eadicicco’s article, “15 Technologies of Today We’ll Still Be Using In 2030”, from nbcnews.com, the author lists fifteen types of technology that the world will still use even in the future.
When we consider the issue of technology, some might question: “Will we be able to drive to our houses by cars that fly?” or “Will we have holograms for communications like in the movies?” Eadicicco’s article addresses these questions because she herself had been wondering about our future of technology.
Something that I have been interested in learning more about has been art. I remember my middle school teacher talking about the different forms of art, but within middle school I was a very naive kid; I didn’t really enjoy learning about art. Lately, the issue has caught my eye again. I know that many people are not familiar with the different forms of art and artist. From what I have heard, art is very complicated because it consist of a mixture of different color, creativity, and it must be attractive to the eye. For example, I heard that an artist Chester Higgins, Jr.
This is a photo of the my hometown project. I just got a really good photo of the letters outside of my school. I spend most of my time here, and have never realized the grace that the word Judge brings to me. It has an effect on me that makes me feel good. This is where I fel at home, is at school with my friends.
The history of technology is without a doubt as old as humanity itself. Primitive forms of technology have been found with almost every archaeological find. Technology has far progressed from the invention of fire by man to the supercomputers, space stations, rockets, electronics, weapons, and huge metropolises that are the defining aspect of the 21st century.
Effects of media violence is one of the ways people and cultures are changing today. Violent shows today are spreading violence between people. Rap music influences media violence by raping about drugs. Role model can be one of the example too. When someones role model does something bad it causes media violence because their fans start doing the same thing.
I don't feel that the media is directly responsible for corrupting our society. I feel like TV, music, and certain video games are blamed too often when something goes wrong, but it's really the result of other factors, like personal issues or a lack of understanding. Still, media does play some sort of role in our lives, and while I don't believe it actually corrupts us, it can definitely have negative effects. They've always been there, and always will be.
The media is a power thing that isn't as big a problem when we are talking about adults, but when small kids see something at that age it may have very negative affects to them do to influence. If a child that was, lets say, seeing gang violence their whole lives, that is, probably, what they might become. The media also has a way of putting things in America. It has a tendency of showing the negative spins of the world, and in life on the news is seen as an example.

Justin Timberlake played the male role in the romantic comedy Friends With Benefits. The movie contained a lot of sexual references and jokes, and one character, played by Woody Harrelson, was gay.
In an interview with The Advocate, Justin said, "I want to say that once we came up with the idea that Woody's character would be gay, it was really important to me that we use that as an opportunity to break anything that is a stereotype."
I remember when I was a kid, I would sit there, watching the television. You would lots of cartoons. I remember they would have this one cartoon that used to stop and then cut a preview of that cartoon, only it would tell you to go and watch that show later. I would be in the middle of Animaniacs and then it would cut to Tom and Jerry, tell when and where, then back to Animaniacs. It was annoying. But I do have to say, it looked interesting. Violence is funny. Violence I always funny. Never gruesome. Only suggested. Imagined. Unlike how it is today. I miss those days though.

People of all ages have witnessed violent outbreaks. Whether, it’s in their community, household, or personal experience. However, is the violence displayed on television truly comparable to violence in the real world? We are now living in a violent world, where media plays a major part in social aspects. Is the media depicting a reasonable image of violence, or nurturing viewers into something worse?
First Draft: Violence in the Real World

Reading several articles and periodicals concerning sensationalism in the media, a few interesting arguments have arisen. In "It Ain’t Necessarily So..." Eric Alterman argues that two major trends have come to dominate the media on TV, radio, and in publication: an increasing hyper-conservatism in news-reports to overcome liberal bias in the media, and an increasing sensationalist, tabloid-like news coverage. We've known this for a while.
Media in the 1990’s: Overview provides insight into the media developments of the late twentieth century. With rapid advancements in technology, an increasing number of Americans had access to new media channels like the World Wide Web and television. The discretion that had marked previous decades gradually faded in the 1990’s, with increasing reports on violence, sex, and other sensationalist subjects. Publicized scandal became a new trend seen among newspapers, TV shows, and the radio, with the clear intention of drawing in the audience.
Racism and bias against ethnic groups in the media is a serious problem: according to Elizabeth Llorente http://www.elizabethllorente.com, racism plays a huge part in the media today. When asked what barriers people of color face when entering journalism, she states that they feel unwelcome and uncomfortable when reporting on ‘white areas’. Other journalist not of color assume it’s easier for someone of color to write about a story that has to do with discrimination against their race. They’re not recognized for the work they put into it.
To be honest, I am not terribly concerned with politics. I understand that I should be, that the decisions politicians make huge effects on my life; however, I usually cannot bring myself to read newspaper articles or watch news about so-and-so's policy or proposals. It is in this aspect- the more fiscal aspect of politics that I am generally apathetic toward, but I do concern myself with the social aspects of it.
The dilemma I have chosen is the issue of anabolic steroids, specifically steroids in professional sports. This differs from Corticosteroids which are legally prescribed by doctors. The moral dilemma involved with steroids in professional sports is over their legality and whether or not players who have used steroids are considered as cheaters, and are thus allowed to be inducted into their respective Halls of Fame.
This video shows what would happen if people resulted to non-violent lasers. It shows our perspective of the future way of getting rid of excess rage. Obviously this is a unrealistic possibility, but the alternative would be something like throwing marshmallows at little kids. Enjoy blowing off some steam!
Lately I’ve been thinking about an interesting topic to write about and I came across subliminal messages. This topic is eye catching to me because I know that subliminal messages can be everywhere, but we just don’t notice it. They can bring these messages and signals to one’s brain. Subliminal messages can be meshed in songs, movies, advertisements etc. I’ve known about subliminal messages since I can remember; although I always have perceived these “signals” or “messages” as to having a negative connotation, whether it has a sexual or an “evil” approach.
The more I read this book I can feel whats Devon going through. She is being put in a place of dealing with charges of murder, abandonment, and so on. That's scary place to be in. I would most definitely hate to be put in that place. But yet I'm against everything she has done she has killed a baby. I wonder what was her reason to do that. And most of all I wonder why did it happen. What I don't understand about this book it starts out after Devon gave birth and they look for a person who left a baby in the trash.
