What about hip hop?

I agree Hip hop is a creative art form of music and expression. I also believe that people can inspire others with hip hop and that if we aren't careful hip hop could take children in places they don't need to go. Recently I've been studying hip hop in class and yes it was for class. The main point is hip hop influences but before it wasn't the hip hop that we see today it was a great inspiration to the black communnity during the dark period of slavery and Jim Crow laws. A favorite quote of mine is "It's only-at the end of the day, it's just entertainment" by Jadakiss,Rapper. The problem is young children of today see it as what they must do and become in order to survive. Which is in truth an unreality leading children down the wrong path, and children hold the future of tomorrow in their hands if they're going the wrong way where do you think the world will go.Which brings me to a question should rappers be more responsible or should the media check itself before it goes too far,or should parents rethink what their children are allowed to watch? This is a really important question that I think should be taken seriously, the media might just be the end of us, or we ourselves are more thank likely to blame. Because if we didn't let them watch it i bet you media wouldn't show it because most adults I know don't really like the hip hop. Now hip hop isn't bad it's just you should really think about what I've said.

Men and Women advertisements

I just recently learned that women aren't important in the world of advertising. That the advertisers make them out to be submissive, weak, and impossibly beautiful, this is unfair to the normal people who are not models to look upon these goddesses of beauty and think I must look like that in order for some one to like me. Masculinity is connected to the women's degradation of the female advertisements. Men are the exact opposite of the women in advertisements. The men in advertisements are portrayed as the Greek God Adonis strong, masculine, and every woman's desire: pecks, bulgy arms, and a nice but. Ladies and gentlemen this is but a tip of the ice berg for what we see and what you watch you will try to do. Which is why women in society are not what they could be they are downsized by man, who treat women worse than crap. Men get their ego's from what they see and what they are taught and what do men and women do at the age of 6+ watches TV. This only proves my point that the society that we are currently living of off is what we see on TV. and what we try to achieve is not attainable by all I'll have you know. Not all people can attain that certain size you once were the reason is your bones just aren't made that way anymore your structure changes as you age. Think about it can you fit into a shoe size of 3 anymore now that you where a size 7 no, not even weight size can change that. All im saying is maybe it time we rethought what we put in our heads and change some of the things that go on the television.
