The Royal Wedding

This weekend, an event occurred that was actually a positive thing for once.  watched the royal wedding. This surprisingly turned out to be an interesting event. I noticed many unusual things about the ceremony. One of the first things I noticed was that she walked herself halfway to the beama before the father of Prince Harry walked her the rest of the way. This was very interesting as it seemed a combination of multiple traditions. Her father didnt walkk her as he had some heart conditions.Image result for royal wedding

    I agree that it was a subjective positive event. But I do not understand America’s infatuation with the royal family. We split from England so that we could get away the monarchy but here we are obsessed with what happens over there.

How Does Media Affect Us?

This past year in Mr. Starace's Critical Thinking Class we have watched three films: The Persuaders, Merchants of Cool and Missrepresentation. These films clearly portrayed the same thing: media's effect on everyone. In the documentary Missrepresentation, we were shown how media breaks through the barriers we have put up in order to try to block out most of the media we have today. They use violence and over sexualize nearly everything we watch in order to get us to absorb what were watching. This past weekend I was watching the trailer for the movie Deadpool 2. While the movie may have been incredibly explicit and rated R for a multitude of reasons, I noticed some things in the movie that I can relate to this movie. In the one scene of her shown in the trailer she was seen sitting at home as a housewife waiting for Deadpool to get home. She is seen as this impatient, annoying housewife who is not doing anything. This is harmful to women as it portrays a false image of what wom...

HGTV: Flipping Houses

HGTV is often watched by my parents on the weekend when they are not bogged down by any work they might have. They turn on the tv and switch to channel 746. Usually no matter what they always find it entertaining. They have been doing this years. After all this time I decided to ask myself a simple qu estion: Why do they like this show so much? The answer came to me as quickly as the question did. In other words, your renovations might take weeks or months  while Chip and Joanna's Gaines home makeover requires less than an hour of your time. And in the end it looks  perfect , unlike what  you  may have experienced. This especially seems relevant to my life due to how much my parents have renovated our houses over the years. 6 months can seem like one hour, which only goes to show that to humanity time is one of the most valuable resources.

Blog Post: Rapture

Rapture has become one of my favorite TV shows of all time on Netflix, technically in general due to how little I watch TV. The description of the show according to Netflix is: " In their own words, hip-hop stars describe what defines them as artists and the effect they've had on culture beyond music." Each episode provided unique insight into how each artist's life was different, their inspiration, where they came from and how that influenced their life. This gave me insight specifically into the fight against racism. Many rappers lives were affected by their upbringing in a time where tensions were high, in some events such as the Los Angeles riots as well as many shootings. I was always aware that music and slavery and the fight against of racism were so interconnected. My perspective has changed. Music is not just an instrument to make people want to dance, it has been and will continue to be used to spread messages to millions of people all around the world. Perh...
