"this i believe"

In an article called "Just Say no"Jessica Paris talks about how she says no to more than just sugary foods. She also says no to slogans and advertisements on T.V. This belief gave Jessica the strength to give her freedom to experience things in her life without something or someone having to do it for her. For example in the article Jessica says that "This dollar is a part of art or a articfact of the human race so  I said no." This quote means that Jessica Paris valued that one dollar she said had for safe keeping and to invest to earn more money.

Afghan/ Health Fair

In the New York Times there's an article called "Afghan Girls, Scarred by Acid, Defy Terror, Embracing School."This article was written by Dexter Filkins a New York Times. In this article a afghan girl named Shamisa Husseini gets severly burned by a taliban man who sprays burning acid in her face along with her sister. Now parents of Shamisa and other parents aren't letting their daughters go to school. 14 other girls got burned badly just like Shamisa. For example Shamisa 's uncle, Ghulam Sekhi, feels bad about the situation of all the afghan girls getting burned by the Taliban group. He says" I don't want the girls sitting around and wasting their lives."

broadcasting a world of whiteness

 In The article "Broadcasting a World of Whiteness" by Jon Caramanica talks about how a lot of T.V. shows are showing more white people than black, hispanic, and asian people. "Girls"is an example of not having enough of diverse shows. Thinking it's going on on all of the shows except BET and Centric. This article points out that other shows like "Two and a Half Men" and "How I Met Your Mother" are just as diverse like "Girls."Also that the criticism of all the shows reflect on the race of white people. Therefore in my opinion I agree that shows should be more diverse. Also I believe this because every time I watch T.V. or a movie most of the actors are white and there are only maybe one or two black or hispanic or asian people. Then I also believe that network television doesn't have diverse cast because mostly white can act better than white and also black people take it over the top with the emotions and white people don't. I wonder if anyone will change or fight to have more diverse casts on more white white television shows

In an article i read about obesity and pregnancy called "Obesity and diabetes link to child disorders" i learned that Obese women and those with Type 2 diabetes could be increasing their chances of having a child with autism or another development disorder. In California,1.3% of women have Type 2 diabetes and 7.4% have diabetes which developed during pregnancy. that suprised me because i never thought that you could get diabetes while being pregnant. i never knew how much weight you gained or how much you weighed period mattered when you are pregnant. 9.3% of the children with mothers with type 2 diabetes have autism and also 11.6% of that group have some type of a disability. i feel that this is a shame because those children did not do anything to deserve those things. and neither did those mothers, some women have weight problems that are very very hard to deal with and sometimes they don't try to help it or make it better than some just try then give up then when they get pregnant they could be one of those people who deal with the scare of something being wrong with their children. In the US, the study noted that 34% of women of child-bearing age are obese and nearly 9% are diabetic. i feel like people should be more aware of this and if women are preparing to become pregnant they should loose weight and try to be as healthy as possible.

Snooki will be a good mom

According to people.com  Nicole Polizzi well as we know her Snooki, is pregnant and engaged.  In this article Vinny Guadagnino says “She’ll be a great mom. She’s already drastically changed her life," then says "I think this is a good wakeup call, so I think she’ll be cool." I do too, i also think her parting days are over and not just on hold though. Guadagnino thinks that even after Snooki has the baby things will be the same with the cast and the show. i highly doubt that because when you have a child, that should be your main focus. i do not believe that when you bring a child into the world you should still be worried about fighting and television  shows, yes you have to make your money to support you and your child but that should still be your main focus. i think maybe everyone will still get along and support her but i don't think they should be in drama together, thats not good around the baby. as for the show, they didn't say if she is going back on and i also dont know how many more seasons there are. but i do know that i don't think that would be the best thing because of the child she will be bringing in the world. bottom line i am happy for Snooki and her fiance but she should just focus on her home life for now. and let her soon to be husband take care of bills and other problems involving money.

Should high schools give out condoms??

In an article i read called "Docs: Give Teens Condoms in High School" by Robin Eisner they were talking about giving condoms to students in high school because the number of new cases of sexually transmitted diseases and unintended pregnancies in this country. i think that is true, they should be available for everyone because students should practice safe sex so accidents don't happen. But i also don't think that they should just throw them around at people encouraging them to have sex. a condom is a good thing to give to students because if a sexually active student has sex with a condom it is a very better chance of them not getting a sexually transmitted disease and a greater chance of a female not getting pregnant. it is better to be on the safe side because if the student does not have a condom they could get multiple types of diseases, which ruins their life because if they were to ever have sex again they could pass it on, or they could have a child then an inoccent child has a disease and cant do anything about it because there are alot of diseases you can not cure, that would be a shame. also, if you don't use a condom the female could get pregnant and that could ruin their life even without a disease because some people cannot handle a child at all let alone young, but sometimes people make mistakes especially if they don't have nobody telling them right from wrong and sometimes they would have to drop out of school to raise their child. thats why if you are a virgin stay one until you have your own and if your not stay safe and stay with one person.

most births outside marriage

I read the article "For Woman Under 30, Most Births Occur Outside Marriage" by Jason Deparle and Sabrina Tavernise. it was obviously about how more children are born to unmarried parents under the age of 30. i know there are multiple reasons for this. for example, some pregnancies are unplanned like if you don't use condoms or are not on any type of birth control and you are not married it is likely to happen. Also, some women might not be ready to marry like my biological mother she says she don't wanna marry because she does not want to be responsible for anybody else i think she is just selfish because although she just turned 32, she has 4 kids and 3 different fathers to her children and she has not been married yet. also my friend's aunt got 6 kids, 5 different fathers to her children and still is not married, although she wants to marry she did not yet. i just do not think that this should be an issue because what you do with your body, your time and your life is your business. sometimes people don't want to get married for several reasons like also a lady in the article said that if she would have married her baby's father it would have been like raising 2 kids. but there is also people who want to be married and wont have sex or a child without a ring on their finger, even though there is not that many people who do that now and days.
