Teens and Sex

I can remember when I was young and whatever I seen on TV. I would go back and try to imitate what I just seen. It could be anything from seen Michael Jordan free throw line slam dunk, to seeing the dance moves on a new video. So does watching sex on television influence teens' sexual activity? Yes absolutely. Television has a huge influence on the decision young teens make. So when they see the new Beyonce video with half of clothes and the way she is dancing with a guy in her video, young people see that as the  new style and thinks it is cool. For instance, in my senior of high school, there was a “Talent Show.” There was a group of girls, who were performing a song from Rihanna. A minute into the performance even start performed they were disqualified because they were wearing a piece of thread (no clothes). This was in response to the music video, they were influenced by the video, and tried to imitate with seen. However, the more television companies continue to show the highly sexual content music video, shows and movie, the more teens will follow up on what is being shown. Also a side note, some of the words that comes out mouth of famous singers and rappers influence teens sexuality. For example, I hear some artist say terms such as: “doggy style,” “missionary.” When teens hear this there response will be, “hey that sound cool, I want to see if so” now are they influenced?  

Why Hate Immigration?

Immigration has become a complex and controversial issue in the United States, because our economy has plunged straight to ground. The American people feel that the immigrant from other countries has come and took their jobs. So instead of an American citizen working instead it’s an immigrant who took their spot. But here is my thing many Americans don’t realize the opportunity that they have in being in this Country, and they don’t take advantage of the opportunity. Now in other countries they don’t have as much opportunity, so when they get to the U.S that take advantage of every opportunity. When Americans realize what they lost, it is already too late. For instance, I am a student a Florida Gulf Coast University and all my math and science courses thus far, has been taught by a foreigners. One was from Spain, Russian and German, no Americans. Also I realize that living in other countries you do not have a chance to get a good education, so once they get to America, and see how much opportunity they have they waste no time to jump on it. This is why outsiders value education than the American people. If the American people want to do something about immigration they need get off their hinny and get to work and take advantage of what they have before some else do. 

I am sorry that I am not a good "Test Taker" :(

It was my senior of High School and it was getting close to graduation and I was still not accepted into any Universities. I was currently a holding a 4.2 grade point average, over 150 hours of service learning and was involved with a lot sports and clubs. Now those sounds like a great candidate for many schools, but there was just one problem. I was not a good test taker. No matter I much time I put in studying for a test, I just never did well. This being the case standardized test scores should not be used as a measure to determine how much funding schools receive. This will be a stupid idea, because there are millions of people in the world who just are not good test taker. But does this mean that they are ignorant? No. For example, myself was later accepted to Florida Gulf Coast University, but I didn’t score the highest on the “ACT” but I had finish my first semester of college with an “A” average. This goes to show you that just because he do not score well on standardize exams it does not mean that illiterate. If school was to get measured on how they did as a whole on standardize test to determine their funding many school would be broke. Whoever has the call on this decision should make school funding decision based on population and how many students that will be attending need financial needs. Not by a stupid paper and number two pencil.
