Trevian Simon 11/6/12 4A Today’s hip-hop music has good songs; however, it isn’t always good to listen to. I think the song “Pop That” by French Montana is an overall good song, but it is terrible for anybodys mind. This particular song treats women with no respect, the lyrics are telling the audience that their lifestyle is the correct way to live life, and it is affecting the minds of young children, especially young ladies. Respect is not given, you have to earn it. Women that “Pop That” in clubs and other placesdoes not earn respect.
As is the case for most viral phenomena, there are those who aren’t too keen on hip-hop Elvis’s lyrical prose. They fear that his overwhelming invectives can and will entreat harm upon his avid listeners. In spite of the schism between the lovers and the haters, Eminem has undoubtedly taken the music industry by storm; and in turn, our views and considerations. While the zealots of ‘Slim Shady’ defend his lyrics and context with phrases like ‘artistic expression’ and ‘free speech’, as made evident in Jackson Katz’s essay entitled Eminem’s Popularity Is a Major Setback for Girls and Women, Eminem’s cultural trailblazing comes with a less-than charismatic price: widespread acceptance of violence against anyone and everyone who falls within the crosshairs of his philosophy. People see this on a day-to-day basis, sometimes blatantly, other times situated behind the cleverly posed acceptances found in daily public life: Guy eyes a fetching girl and advances discretely.
Although Gossip Girl may be questioned for certain elements within the novel, it should not be banned to everyone. A book that is banned is usually removed from libraries and classrooms because of its content. Books can be challenged or banned for many reasons, such as political, religious, sexual or social content. This would be called censorship, which would inhibit others from seeing certain information. It’s when materials are removed from things we see everyday such as TV, music, books, or the internet, because the content may appear obscene or objectionable.
In the reading “Hip-Hop’s Betrayal of Black Women” by Jennifer Mclune, she exclaims in today it is wrong to categorically dismiss hip-hop without taking into serious consideration the socioeconomic conditions (and the many record labels that eagerly exploit and benefit from the ignorance of many young artists) that have led to the current state of affairs. This article contains three major divisions that support Mclune’s argument in this article, and she goes into dept explaining her argument. She wrote the article base off her feelings and how hip-hop down grade black women. In the first division, Mclune explains how hip-hop takes women and dehumanized, vilified, and make them invisible to stay relevant to their mainstream. In the second division, she talks about how women in hip-hop rather go with the mainstream too rather than stand up as a collective voice in their defense of
This ad is completely demoralizing towards women. It portrays this woman as just a sex object to the consumer, which supports Jean Kilbourne’s ideas of dehumanizing women. This is a horrible ad to publish because normal women are going to see this ad and think that they have to behave and act like that because that’s when men want. The Tom Ford brand may have gotten attention with this tactic, but he also alienated a lot of the public who thought the ads were
Anyone who was positive in the movie they tried to hurt or they killed them off. Young minorities are faced with theses images everyday from music videos on down to television shows and I feel that it was an awful depiction of black culture. I do feel that the movie is detrimental and can taint a young urban minorities mind; it could lead young men and women to idolize criminal lifestyle. When Goldie refers to himself as a “hero” I could almost imagine what is going on in a young teenager’s mind. Their probably thinking the movie was great or they want to sell drugs, be a player or pimp just like him without seeing the truth.
This portrayal relates to adolescent during their identity crisis. While they are trying to be accepted by those around them, alcohol seems like the key they need to being popular and having fun. South African Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry, Elizabeth Thabethe, argued on the 8th March 2012 that "It is not right to promote liquor as we are doing in South Africa" especially when the advertising of alcohol is aimed at young people, this is because what the adverts fail to tell you is the terrible effects alcohol has on the brain biologically and developmentally. The biological effects of alcohol on the brain The biological effects of alcohol on the brain are extensive. The brain is the control Centre, it controls muscle movement, thought processes and repertory systems by using chemical and electrical signals called neurotransmitters (Tompson, 1997).
An example of this is telling the person they are the fastest by telling them this it can ruin their self-esteem so many ways getting there hopes high to have them crushed will send them on a spiral loop which could end up badly. Young girl in seem to have low-esteem problem dealing with body image and what they see on TV as parent we try and build that up by letting them know that what they look like on the outside is fine and that you don’t have to look like what on a magazine cover but the world twists it around and then we have girls belittle them self because of
You cannot call yourself a true fan girl unless you openly hate on other peoples idols. Let them know your idol is better! Start a riot in a public area and when the police ask why this riot started; say your idol would be disappointed if you did not stand up for them; since you and your idol are one. After that riot you created, you have completed your duties as a fan girl in protecting your
Indeed today, beauty pageants for young girls are becoming more and more popular. However, I believe that young girls should not be allowed to participate and join beauty pageants because it affects their overall well-being in a negative way. First, these child beauty pageants damage the young girls psychologically and physically. A lot of child advocates and psychologists have already spoken out against child beauty pageants and claim that these pageants are not really helpful for healthy child development. According to William Pinsof, a clinical psychologist and president of the Family Institute at Northwestern University, “Being a little Barbie doll says your body has to be a certain way and your hair has to be a certain way.
