I think the best thing I learned here was Algebra 3. This class will benefit me in high school and put me ahead of the game.

 I think that in this summer I learned that people find so many new things like medical advances and even self healing materials. This really makes me wonder what type of items we will have in the future. Also, some of the topics we did were not that fun. I think that the one about girl beauty was a good topic, but there is basically no way to be against women being more than something else. My chart was just filled with the pros of having women do better jobs and to stop the ads. I think the Middle Eastern crisis is important to me because the US might get involved again and ISIS could be a problem as well. Just knowing this makes me feel kind of safer. I think being aware of some of today's issues helped me know what was going on in the world and learn some pretty awesome things. It is totally important to be well informed because if you are not, there might be something important on there or there may have been a world issue.

Summer Debate

                   Summer Debate

     I thought that this summer was a lot of fun. I learned a lot of stuff from Ms.Krissy too. I learned stuff like GMOs,women rights,and others.It was also pretty well informed.

     I also wish that summer would never end.:( Some of them were important to me and 1-3 of them I didn't like.

This summer the best topic was advertising is harder and why pop stars are empowering to women. I did not like why gun control is harmful. I do not like gun control because I don't like things that have to do with gun control. I think the most important was to ban GMOs because it teaches you not to eat random stuff.
This summer I really learned a lot. I hope I can continue to learn more.

FINAL BLOG PROMPT

Hi guys!

This week for your final blog, I want you to blog about what you think the most important thing you learned this summer was. What topic(s) did you like or not like? Which ones were important to you? How has being more aware of issues in today's society helped you? Do you think it's important to be well informed?

It has been a great summer guys and I can't wait to hear your final debate next week. DO NOT FORGET to do your t-chart!!!

Ms. Krissy

Why do ads always have to have a model who is "beautiful"? This is probably because the ad makers did not care as to whom they are influencing. Although, they may have known already about this. Since the 1900's, ads have been tilting ever so slightly for a hundred years. Not only does this teach girls they are not important, it also makes boys judge girls by appearance. This kind of goes against what the women's right act was for. They wanted to be equal, but now they are not. In an example, the news team asked a person not how the woman anchor did, but if her clothes fitted her or if her legs looked good. We need to gather people to make anti-ads and try to ask for funding to attempt an action to get the governments attention at how they are polluting kids minds. To make sure media will act ethically, they must stop these ads and hire people who do the job because they want to, not because they want to on the condition that they get more beautiful or buy nicer clothes. Traditionally, ads were to make you get or do whatever it told you to. Now it is just for watching and not to figure out about some product.Here is a link to an article against stopping ads from photoshopping

Gender Influence

I think that both genders should equal. Men and women, whats the big diference. We have the same desires and abilities. So why do we look down upon another gender. The goverenment should not intervene with each person, but they should make laws against commercials making bias comments. And maybee more movies can have strong women and main characters.
