However, it is ridiculous that when students try to use the hallway for what it is for, other students who clearly don’t understand the purpose of the hallway stop, yes stop in the middle of it to talk to their friends, make an illegal U turn or my absolute favorite to “eat the face off” of their significant other. I know that most students would agree with me, because like them I understand, I have witnessed first hand these horrible acts, and because of them I have been late to class. I have missed seconds, maybe even minutes of important knowledge that could have helped me in the future. Moreover, it would be nice and very appreciated if someone came up with a way to get students to do what they are supposed to do in the hallway. A simple lecture on “what not to do in the hallway” is not nearly enough.
The stereotypes and clichés shown throughout this film of urban schools, teachers, students, and families represent a vague idea of the reality of these environments. The film opens with the schools hallways and lockers collaged with graffiti, floor to ceiling. Students are portrayed as “in control”, rather than the teachers and higher authority. The lunchroom is a jungle of minority students, yelling and talking loudly, few are actually eating, and a fight breaks out between two boys. A teacher, trying to break up the fight, is eventually severely injured from his head being repeatedly bashed into the ground and has to be taken away on stretcher.
From a standpoint of a shopper I would evaluate the store as a confusing mess that seemed like a sale every time one shops. Sales are advertised but employees don't necessarily push the sales. The management goals reflect the employees' goals to let the products sell themselves. This hurts the company knowing that consumers can shop products on a "take it or leave it" attitude. Most people are aware of the lack of customer service Best Buy does not provide.
Kids around the U.S. in schools are starting to write threats around the school as a joke. The sad part is when somebody brings up a school shooting and it is not seen as a big deal because we are now used to these types of outbursts happening more than they should. If we look back at 1998 when the Columbine shooting happened people were in shock because it was the worst that has ever happened before. It has happened so much from then to now that nobody is surprised when we hear about one. People are now expecting these to happen and that is the problem.
Rape Culture in the Media The media is certainly a prominent force in the world today, whether this be in a positive or negative manner. In this case, it has a mixed effect on how rape culture is affecting our society. Once something is placed in the media, it can travel extremely quickly, which will spark many responses. The Internet, while it has many positives, can also create an incredibly dangerous and scary environment, both online and in the real world. In the end, rape culture is definitely being spread through the media, often in a negative way.
In result, lack of discipline from parents along with mimicking their friends’ attitudes toward one another exemplifies few factors that influences teen rudeness. Nowadays, a modern family would focus on their careers more than focusing on their family. As kids age 13 to 19 move from childhood to maturity, they often experiment with language to express their boundaries and talk back to parents in ways that are inappropriate. It then becomes the parents’ duty to instruct their children how to speak with respect to authorities. The problem arises when parents fail to teach their children the correct way of behaving toward adults.
Thousands of children go to school every day filled with fear and trepidation; other feign illness to avoid being taunted or attacked on the way to school or in the school yard, hallways, and bathrooms; still others manage to make themselves sick at school so as to avoid harassment in the locker room. Children who are bullied spend a lot of time thinking up ways to avoid the trauma and have little energy left for learning. It is not only the bullied child who suffers the consequences of bullying. Many children who bully continue these learned behaviors into adulthood and are at increased risk of bullying their own children, failing at interpersonal relationships, losing jobs, and ending up in jail. Bystanders are also affected by bullying.
Also the students were convinced that they had nothing to learn from a white woman who had never experience firsthand violence, discrimination, and hatred that was part of their everyday lives. Other problem is that the students separate themselves into racial groups in the classroom. Fights break out and eventually some of the students stop going to Ms. Gruwell classroom. There was one part that show clearly the situation that was when one of her students drew a stereotypical racist cartoon of one of her students which was passed around the class, she saw that the students do truly hate each other. Their students on the surface, the only thing they share is their hatred for each other and the understanding that they are simply being warehoused in the educational system until they are old enough to disappear.
I walked into the classroom and my teacher gave me a menacing glare. Such a glare that would say “I’m going to kill you”. Then she gave me a detention for being late. I tried to talk my way out of it, but she didn’t want to hear any of my excuses. She handed me my detention slip with such a swiftness I was thinking that time stopped for a few seconds.
Characterizations of big mouth and ugly girl. There are two main characters in this book. Big Mouth is Matt - a high school boy who tends to say things without thinking first about what he is saying. An offhand remark he makes about blowing up the school is overheard and reported, resulting in his suspension, dealing with the police and a lot of negative publicity for him and his family. Even when it is decided that he did not really mean what he said he runs into a lot of students at school who now hate him, especially after his family decides to sue the school.
