Stand by me!

The title of the song means that at some point in life your going to need someone to stand by you. 

I saw that when the first musician was singing there was a father and daughter dancing to the song and they were different races. The musicians are all different but they come together for a common cause. 

The message is delivered by music by different people of different nations. It is amazing on how the director has the video starting out with one person singing then gradually you see that everyone is singing as one. The music was also another feature in which makes the video so appealing, and that is that the director chose a song that everyone can relate to, making the impact so great.

I honestly enjoyed the video overall. This video displays that it does not matter on who you are, where you come from, or how you get to where you are, we are all people and we should care for one another in certain situations and in that it should not be a problem in standing by one another once somethings goes bad. The music will motivate others to step up to the plate, even if it is a small step, in order to accomplish unity throughout the world.

Violent Media...Is it good for kids?

According to Gerard Jones, violent media can actually have positive effects on young people because children need violent entertainment order to explore the inescapable feelings that they've been taught to deny, and reintegrate those feelings into more whole, more complex, more resilient selfhood.

Jones also believes that violent media are a positive influence on children because  the media may convince the children to have alter egos with social and fearless characteristics that the character withhold.

Jones make some good points. For example, he says that “we risk confusing them about their natural aggression in the same way the Victorians confused their children about their sexuality. When we try to protect our children from their own children from their own feelings and fantasies, we shelter them not against violence but against power and selfhood”. However, I do believe, as they say, violence is never the answer.

All in all, the author has points and as well as points that i do disagree with and with that i do think that there is a more suitable way to fight your anger such as sports. Media isn’t covering these events fairly due to the fact that they are pushing kids towards these angry video games instead of getting out the game and go outside to put your anger in that run or in your favorite sport which brings it to another issue obesity.

Russia Probe


Russia Probe (Fox News - White House) Sarah Saunders appealed to the audience with emotion, by defending the president. Throughout the video you see she tries to put some sort of logic to it but as they go back and fourth they talk about the character of both Hilary Clinton and Donald trump.
Russia Probe (Fox News – Tomi Lahrens) There was a lot of emotion and aggression. When it came to Tomi she did not have any facts in the argument. She does not say anything about Donald Trump but makes it clear to talk about Hilary Clinton.
Russia Probe (CNN – New York Times) I think it was my computer but the website was not working for me.
Russia Probe (MSNBC – Morning Joe) Mostly filled with facts appealing logos and ethos. They were connecting pieces together that at the end make since due to papadopoulous talked about the secret emails.

About Me

Hello, my name is Taylor Butts, and i am a freshman at Georgia Gwinnett College majoring in biology. I am a middle child a five kids and i dislike it a lot. I am 19 and my ambitions and goals are being a veterinarian to eventually have my own practice, to travel, to be successful, and also to be a godly woman. I have always had a love for animals every since i was five when my parents surprised my older sister and I with a dog.

Other than having a love for animals, i love to model, i like all genres of music except for rock and country, i like to eat everything that smells and looks good, being around friends and family makes me happy especially when we are having movie night but talking throughout the whole movie, i love to laugh and be goofy even thought most people call me corny but its okay.

To conclude, my "about me" i am a lovable person who never gets upset unless something is really wrong. I love to learn new things, even the hard things that i need help in. I am a easy person to talk to even though some people told me that i am not approachable but when you talk to me i am a light in the room. So when you see me, do not be afraid to say hi.
