Jocks vs. Nerds

    They are thought to carry pencils and pens in their hair, have tape around their glasses, their shirts are tucked in at all times, and their jeans are often a little too short. Yes, I am talking about the stereotypical nerd. For nerds homework is always a must and when it comes to talking to girls.. let's just say that never occurs. Their laughs consist of snorting and although they may seem weak and vulnerable, there is more to them. The people we call "nerds" just want what any other person would want, to fit in. Unfortunately, there are those who make the road to fitting in pretty tough.
    The jocks are some of the people nerds dread the most. They wear bright smiles on their faces, are the center of the popular crowd, and seem to be perfect. Looks can be deceiving. Jocks aren't only known for their popularity, but for their bullying as well. They love to pick on the weak, but the reason behind it all may be because they want to feel better about themselves and just like nerds.. They want to fit in.

A Changed World

                Ten years ago I was seven with not a care in the world! Life today is now full of all these technological devices that only bring drama and attention to the media. Because of the media children are becoming more self-conscious and not experiencing their childhood the way it should be experienced; with absolutely no worries. I remember my life as a child was amazing; my daily routine would consist of bike rides, playing with friends, and simply just being out and getting that breeze of amazing fresh air. Now as I look out my window I see no kids playing or having any fun in the nature, all the technology has taken up the childhood of many children.

Blog 4: compare and contrast Dove vs Victoria's Secret

   Society has an image on the way a woman should look. Many woman suffer from self esteem issues because of that view. Victoria's Secret has followed along with society's view on the way a woman should look, in their lingerie ad Victoria's Secret chose models with really slim features that were similar to one another. On the contrary, Dove decided to drift away from society's views to boost up the self esteem of curvy woman. Dove's models had curves and also wore lingerie, but had a happier appearance/vibe. Both Victoria's Secret and Dove had a diversity of woman which could help the companies appeal to all races.
