#18 Popular Culture

I think popular culture in 2013 would be technology, they're upgrading it to the point where we won't have to use paper, or anything just technology.

#17 considerations

I would probably view the Rihanna/Chris Brown incident differently than some people, I don't think girls or guys should get hit by the opposite sex. It's unfair, they notice "woman abuse" but what if it is the other way around? I know Chris Brown had no right to hit Rihanna for no reason. I look at him differently, now he's in jail for assault again. He needed that.

#15 Growing up online

I will most remember the girl with the eating disorder, I don't think that "thinspirational" website is very necessary. I don't think anybody should go through an eating disorder. Been there done that, I also am not to fond of "online relationships" you shouldn't be with somebody you don't know personally... what if they're not who they say they are.

#14 something over the line

I think some music videos are over the line, the use girls to their advantage. Dressing them inappropriately and having them look like hookers. Calling them rude names, for example: My favourite band doesn't really talk exactly about the girls but he talks about the sexual things girls do and has them dancing behind him half naked.

#13 favourite spoof

My favourite spoof is the "Mr Clean" advertisement as Mr.Bean. It's just kind of funny because he's bald like Mr.Bean, and it makes it more funny.

#12 Three favourite Brands

McDonalds is one of my favourite brands because i aboslutely love their wraps, i usually go for the grilled chicken so it is a little healthier. Plus they raise money for the Ronald Mcdonald foundation.
My second favourite brand would have to be samsung. I love my Samsung Galaxy S3, i can do anything on it and its a super fast phone. All of the samsung products I have ever used were just wonderful.
My third favourite brand would be coca-cola, I try not to drink to much of it but at work when my mouth gets all dry from being in the back I always get a cup of coke to drink.

#11 Blurred Lines Banned

I don't exactly understand why they banned that song, they probably play worse things. Yes that song may talk about some unacceptable things but there is no need to ban it? It's just music, people might just be listening to the beat not the lyrics. Yes the video might be inappropriate but the song isn't as bad.

#10 GTA 5

I have played the last few gta's but this one seems to realistic for me. The graphics and thinks you can actually do in the game is to unreal. The old gta games I would actually play, not so much this one. I don't like how you kill people, run them over, steal money etc. This game is more for older GUYS that like these type of video games, I do not reccomend this for anybody under the age of atleast 14.

#9 should photoshop be allowed in advertising

I do not think that photoshop should be allowed in advertising. First of all thats false advertising, which you may or may not get in trouble for. Second of all girls look in magazines and see all of these skinny beautiful people and think thats what they're supposed to look like so they try their hardest to look like that which may lead to eating disorders. Most people you see don't actually look the way you think they look. You could go from being a bigger girl, to skinny just by using one program. Why not flaunt your own beauty, not something pretend.

#8 Was it worth it? Explain..- Media Monkey

In a way I think it was worth it but at the same time I don't think it was. The reason I think it was worth it is because, girls now a days always want to lose weight. They just want to be super tiny.. so the monkey is making it impossible to find advertisments about "losing weight". But in a way they could have advertised it a lot better, instead of using a monkey they could have used a human and acted it out differently.

# 7 Seahaven is the way the world is supposed to be....

I do not agree with Christof, Seahaven is a fake place full of fake people. Why would you want to live a fake life? I would rather be around real people, and be able to do the things I would like to do. He's making people live a life full of lies, making people not know how the real them is. Point is, no i don't agree with him.

#6 The family who went back to 1986 article

I wish things were the way they were in 1986, I mean I wasn't born yet but I've heard so many great things from those years.. The way everything has been changing since I was old enough to realize things is really unneccesary, soon enough we will be able to do anything with technology. I think humans were made to do things for themselves not have robots and technology do it for them. What if one day all technology fails and that is what we live off of? Everybody is screwed. Why not keep everything the way it was before? Everybody is going to become lazy, this world will fall apart. I love what the family is doin now hopefully lots of people follow in that direction. Except I think the next generation is going to be worse, due to parents letting their children be involved with technology. I already said my daughters not getting a cellphone for a very loooonnnngg time, she gets to play nintendo and play outside. I don't want a lazy daughter. I don't know why anyone would want their children to sit inside all day. Yes there would be a few cons such as, what if something of theirs breaks? Usually you can't find certain things in stores now a days it's all updated. I've only been alive since 1996 but I already miss being a little kid.. doing all those fun outdoor activies.

#5 The 'sexy selfie' article

I don't think little girls should be posting pictures of them selves with barley any clothing on, or of them trying to look 'sexy' so boys will look at them. You know not every single guy out there is looking for that kind of a girl.. They probably want to a have a girl with brains also, not just the looks. There could be a pedofile out there somewhere looking at every picture these girls post which makes me sick.. How could their parents allow that? When I had facebook I had my mom on there I never posted anything of the sort, you should have some self respect for yourself. Keep your clothes on, keep those kinds of pictures to yourself. You could delete the photo, but once something is on the internet it stays on forever. I see 13 year olds posting pictures of themselves wearing inappropriate clothing, making 'sexy' faces for everyone to see. What is this world coming too...

#4 The Robin Thicke / Miley Cyrus article

My favourite summer time song is probably something nobody really listen to.. but it is called Depths by Watch this burn. I really enjoy the lyrics and the actual music, most people don't really understand how I know what they are even singing about but I actually take the time to figure out the lyrics so I know what I am listening to and what the song is about. Just because it's classified as "metal" doesn't mean I only listen to it because of the beat, I do understand the words.

#3 Facebook opinion

I personally do not like facebook I have mine deactivated. I see how people are and sometimes it disgusts me. People share every thing they do, why can't they keep that to themselves? People fight over facebook, which sometimes ends up with somebody commiting suicide or hurting themselves. There aer also alot of sick people out there that pretend to be somebody else. You never really know if it's who they really are unless you personally know them, it could be a 43 year old man saying he is 17. Facebook has come to far it used to be okay but now its used for all of the wrong reasons. Why do you want to see girls half naked, or people with pictures of them drinking or doing other things that nobody else really wants to see. It's a waste of my time.. if I want to talk to somebody I will find other ways to get ahold of them.

#2 Our Constructed World

I probably eat fast food atleast 10 times a month, it may seem like alot but its only like a small fry or something here in there from work when I'm on break. I only visit a shopping mall about 1-3 times a month. I only watch about 2-3 hours of tv a week due to me having school and work everyday, I usually put tv on while I am trying to fall asleep. The only time I play video games is when my boyfriend isn't playing them, I play maybe 3-4 times a month. I usually surf the interent for about 75-90 minutes a day for my hospitality credit or ocassionaly for media. I send only up to 100 texts a day that's if its a really important conversation, I'm usually to busy to text. It may not seem like that big of a deal to most people, but they want to put a dump into ingersoll and because I live outside of town I have well water so the dump could begin to ruin our water at some point in time. Enviormental issues sometimes influence my decisions but it really depends on what kind of decision I am making.
I don't feel like my life is to constructed but I am only 16(going on 17)years old. I do have a pretty much full time job, a baby and I go to school on a regular bases. I'm hopefully going to college in september to be a hairdresser depending on how next semester goes. I can say I do have more of a constructed life then some people I know, I want to be able to support my family and live a happy life with very few worries.

#1 Popular Culture

I think Apple has gone way to far with their products. It went from the original iPhone to the iPhone 3G,3Gs,4,4s,5,5c,5s. When they come out with new iPhones or do updates nothing really ever changes, it will always be the same but the actual phone changes but not the programs inside of the phone. Everybody thinks they "need" the iPhone because everybody else has one. Samsung is doing just as well as the iPhone, they're just coming out with actual new products not making everything identical. iPhones are pretty popular mostly because of the name and the "high class" look of their items. I myself would never buy an iPhone. I'm perfectly fine with my samsung s3. Apple recently had an update called the "ios 7", i've heard really bad reviews such as "the update sucks, i can't even get rid of it" or "nothing really changed, a few things look different maybe they should make a REAL change". The iPhone is a really big thing in 2013.
