Gustavo Davalos October 8th 2013 Chips Funga The song Chips Funga talks about how men and women are adapting to a more liberal culture when it comes to meeting someone of the opposite sex at a bar or night club. The video shows how a very attractive woman is taken advantage of by another man by sleeping with her than not ignoring her as if they never met. The song refers to how one man buys her clothes and the other gets to tear them off. This verse tells me how a women can have such strong feelings for one man who treats her as if she is just a piece of meat but the man who is attentive to her feelings and needs she is not. This is happens to many of us here in our culture because we are fed this artificial sense of life we feel obligated to follow.
Last night on television I watched one of the most controversial documentaries I have ever seen. Peter Smedley with his wife as he prepares to leave the world in front of a national audience on T.V, to help influence the government to change the laws regarding assisted suicide. One of Peter’s close friends commented ‘He would have liked to die at home, in his bedroom.’ Legally, he couldn’t get help to die in England, he had to die in a foreign country. Peter Smedley suffered from Motor Neurone Disease where he would eventually end up suffocating. To avoid this, Peter chose to end his own life (with the assistance of Dignitas clinic) where he swallowed a fatal poison.
