Video!!

People should be more aware of they are buying because many people buy clothes that there are only going to wear ones.I think that is a waste of money. Not just because its expensive but also because there is a lot of other people that have nothing or little to wear...i remember when i was i was 11 years old and i used to live in Mexico my family was really poor and we didnt have enough money or food to eat. Also because we were 13 children in our family with out counting my mom. As a child i always wanted everything that other girls would have and i couldnt get it because my mom couldnt afforted the things i wanted and that made me really sad.I think is really sad how rich people dont care on what they are spending money on or have because they have everything they want. people are not using their own resources properly. And many people can get affected not every one has the same things others have.

Family Impacts

Essay #2 Draft

Now that we are in a new era television has improved a lot. Since i remember we did not have all the media and all the new technology that we have right now. We did have a lot improvement with our ways of communicating with others but not a s much as right now. Not just Television but also there is being a huge change in computers. But television can be more destructive in families than computers. Television can have many family impacts that can be harmful, not just in children but also in adults.For example, TV shows violence,drugs, aggressive behavior,etc. Children can get affected mentally by watching TV. I do think that television is a plug-in drug because while watching a show you can get addicted of watching it every day and even stay in the sofa or bed for the whole day watching different shows. I also think that by watching too much TV it can interfere with family lives and it can also keep the families away from interacting together as a whole.

In the essay of Marie Winn it also talks about how families are being influenced by Television and how children are being affected with physical activities. I do agree that children should watch less television or none.By watching TV children are not engaging in the activities they need for their bodies to be more healthy. Kids are not developing brain and body activities that they need because in a way it is their parents responsibility to not let them watch TV. Sometimes parents let children do whatever they want instead of playing with them sports, learning games and other active learning activities that are going to help them explore more skills that they need in life. I also think that watching Television is a waste of time for everyone. At the same time families are being separated from family activities physically and mentally and that could stop families from interacting together because without family communication the family could also fall apart as not being the same one as before.

Blog #2

The video about Elijah smith is really contriversial because i cant believe that in a elementary school children cant wear an Obama shirt because teachers and stuff think is offensive to other children but how is it offensive?. I totally disagree with the school principal on not letting Elijah wear the obama shirt because there are many Elementary students that wear other types of shirts that demonstrates and looks agressive and violent and the principal does not tell them or their parents anything about it. I dont think is fair what the school is doing to Elijah Smith. Plus he is just a little fifth grader that is just proud of having the first African American president of the united states of America. If there was a Mexican American president i would be so proud and happy just like Elijah. people have their own rights to make thier own desicions on what they want to wear because they are the ones paying for their own clothes not other people. I know there is dress codes for schools but in the dress codes it does not tells a student to not wear a Presidents shirt.So i just dont agree with the thought of not wearing an Obama Shirt because i dont see any agressiveness or violence.
