Hearing the mesmeric but sad storey of how girls in mali bleach there skin white because it makes them feel beutiful, is pretty sad. Some people who dont bleach there skin in Mali are considerd second class citizens and are sometimes not alloud to enter baptisims and asked to leave group photos. African's who try and bleach there skin white is solacious to me. They put ther selves in pain and in risk of cancer by bleaching there skin. the more white there skin is the more ebullient and weakthy they feel. Black skin and bleach dont really mix, the bleach just makes there skin look pallid. Over half the women in mali are using bleach, there are over 100 types of bleach that they use and the cheaper bleaches are more lickleyy to give you cancer. In no way is this cream salubrious, all it does is make women uglier and unhealthy.

Amazing comercial

Wow this add was one of the most powerful adds that i have ever seen. i was grossed out and amazed on the way they fast forwarded the commercials, to the scale, to the surgery. I also really liked the closing sentence 'talk to your daughter before the media does" because that is actually the only part of the commercial were they tell you what there message is but still it was more powerful than most messages where people just talk for 30 seconds. I think that there objective was to scare people out of listening the media by showing all the commercials, and surgerys. this commercial is strong because it representing a good point, and is unique from your average boring commercial.

socratic seminar

Today in class we had a socratic seminar. We talked about subjects such as fortitude prudent temporance and justace. I was not personally a big fan this socratic seminar because the subject were to huge. And during class i think student were trying to hard to impress ms. Golub by making the subjects bigger. This caused the class not to come up with universall trait. There were many good points brought up butt I often found myself very confused becuase the subjects were so huge. Some ideas brought up in the socratic seminar were forgivness, bravery, justace... I was so confused on how the way things esculated during the seminar. I think that those topics are to hard to seminar about because the subject is to braud. I believed that you cant forgive everything and there is a fine line between forgivible and non forgivible. I hope that next time we either get time to study for a socratic seminar or choose a smaller topic.

WELCOME TO MY WORLD OF THINKING! (A.K,A my Philosophy )

What is beautiful about youth? I believe that youth and adults are in envy of eatchothers roles in society. I look at youth like a bubble. It is a kind of funny bubble were most things are done for you. Everything is paid for you, most things are done for you, but in order to live in such a way you must follow the bubbles rules. The bubble is what makes us different from adults we don’t get to make our choices until we are ready to leave it, and enter the adult world. All that the bubble is trying to make you do is get you ready for your adult years by going to school and doing a couple choirs. What youth mostly doesn’t realize is how easy we have it. We don’t have to take complete care of ourselves, pay for our self, or feed ourselves. We also don’t realize that when we hit twenty we cant party all night every night, we have to go to bed early and wake up early for work. They do there own taxes, work long hard hours for money, take care of there kids. The ironic thing about adults is that they ground themselves in a way. They aren’t having fun everyday and if they do they could risk losing there job, there house, there money. They have added the responsibility of parenting themselves witch is allot harder than being parented. I am just a kid I am not an expert on adulthood. What I am saying is just my own common since. My Message is that I know many adults who wish that they didn’t take there youth for granite, when it is in every kids nature to.

What is perfect? Perfect generally to me means when expectations are exceeded. Perfect to me can fit into every emotion except depression, sadness, anger or envy. To me perfect is when I am happy or in a above average mood. If I was having a good time with my friends with no problems on my mind I would consider that perfect. If my emotions are above what they are normally than my mind is above my abilities or control(perfect). I say that last sentence because I can’t make myself happy and I admit I can’t control my mind but if my mind does that my mind is beyond me and that is perfect.

WHAT I THINK IS BEAUTIFULL

I believe that this picture is beautiful for many reasons. Personally I love snow. I wish I could live some where when it snows in the winter. I love snow ball fights and skiing. For some weird reason when I go to visit snowy places I hate it when there is an inch of ground that isn't covered by snow. This picture is so beautiful to me because there is no dirt or ground showing, and everything is layered with snow. This picture makes me Think of all the fun things that I could be doing if I was there. I also take into mind the bright blue clear sky and the sun that brightens up the snow to make the mountain and the snow stand out more.







This Picture does not need a good quality for it to be beautiful. To me beauty cant just be how nice the quality of the picture is or how pleasing whats in the picture is to the eye. In order for me to consider something beautiful it must make an affect on me in a way that makes me want to physically be there and if am already there it must be something that makes me exited, or makes me feel an emotion that is unique. so when I look at this picture I think of my friends and us jumping off the top of the arch and having a good time. It makes me think about a place I want to live near there when I grow up. It makes me think and laugh when I used to show up to the arch and watch all my friends get busted and fined by the lifeguards for jumping off it. It makes me feel interested unique, and happy when nature itself created this arch and we have more fun than ever jumping off it than anything that is fun and costs money.






Now the person in this picture(Jessica Alba) I have not physically meet. But the details in this picture make me want to meat this person. Her blond hair tan body and pretty face... Physically attract me and make me think that if i had allot of game we could have a good time together. So this picture makes me feel mentally interested and inspires me to physically hang out with her some day. Like I said in my last picture the picture can not just have good quality and look pleasing to the eye. you may confuse me as a hypocrite because the object of the picture was to represent both of those subjects. But since this picture physically makes me want to be on that beech with that girl wearing that bikini it is in my mind considered beautiful. And I agree that in the long run beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
