African American play(1811)

The play was really good the history of this play touch bases allot with sociology. It was about the 1811 slave revolt,for the people who don't know(that's when the slaves over threw their masters in a tragic attempt to make it to New Orleans from Haiti. One of the ways they connected ,it was said that African Americans are nothing more than ass backwards mules,and can not function with out the help of his master.Well  this is the same way in education saying that they know nothing but with the help of a book and teacher you can become a functioning human as if you weren't already. It wasn't until the slaves started thinking critically about the things the can use around them to gain freedom is when they got what they wanted. Which is the same this black students can do,but with the school system taking the place of the white master,constantly believe they cannot achieve,which is the same for Latinos.Also showed that dividing the bright lights from the dim ones has been done trough out history simpley mines the slaves who where smart got into the busniess and brought their freedom while the less bright stayed to work. Which is the same in school the bright kids who are disapline tend to go on and make alot of money after grade school and collages while the others are left behind. (Ace)

Dream worlds or "Nightmare on fame street"

Hip hop has evolved from what it originally was back then men use to put there poetic nature to a beat to make smooth rhythm and rhymes but since then the gears of the 21th century, it has made hip hop a gritty degrading business not only for women but for the men that are in it too. On the first chimerical for MTV 2 it branded a woman's backside to show ownership. That is the classic cornerstone in almost all genres of music to have allot of females to show power and control over all. Woman's body are and important part of curacy in the music/video world even magazines like play boy magazine. For if some women would stop seeing dollar signs and say this is enough then this posture would never happen again. Therefore the link of females body to money,fame,and power is often used. This gives us a way to teach our young the wrong way of  how to be men and women which recreates this destructive cycle,which our women may never recover from. In one video the artist had the women painted "gold"  now to one who does not think critically it would seam ok because they are not naked but they are still have dress the paint is just over there bra and patties. Further more painting females gold has a more symbolic meaning that females are the highest priced contraband on earth,and they are the "tool" to drive all genres of music. This is so bad that to the public this seams females only function in society, very seldom showing there face only interested in two parts of there body there booty and tites. Another point i would like to make is some females in the music industry get treated like the peasants or animals of that world. Considering how you never see many female CEO"s or CFO's which men create that "class ceiling" that is applied in the corporate world. This happen in a home video on a rock bands tour bus a female was half naked and letting these men trow deli meat at her booty and all over her body. Now remember no one forced here or had a gun to her head and said let me do this to you. This was demoralizing,down right disrespectful but the question is how can you help or even defend some one who is letting this happen to them. If a person is condoning non-human like actions who is anyone to object to it. ace40

Chapter 3 "Whos fault is it,and where is the help"

School is the most over look place for gender sexually harassment. Gender harassment refers to comments and behavior's that are not explicit sexual in nature but none the less convey disrespect toward women. Some young men clearly don't know limits and how to draw the line between play and sexually harassment. One of the studies in chapter 3 asks some questions to young girls in school. "Have boys every called you out your name to make you feel bad?",51% out of 35 answered yes.Another important question was asked to further my point "Have boys ever grabbed or touched you and made you feel uncomfortable?",49% out of 35 answer yes,and when asked these two questions among others 89% answer yes two all. Now sometime boys always consorted these actions as fun and games. Like have you ever called girls out their name to make them feel bad,grabbed them in a wrong way,or made sexual comments toward them 70% over half called girls bad names and a staggering 80% grabbed them in a wrong way. Now I gave this info to make my question clear who's fault is it that these females are touch seeing that the percentile of these things are high and the females aren't fighting it off so who is the blame the school or the victims. And if it is the schools then where is the help? who are responsible for keeping these things in check which is happening on the school grounds or is nothing done because they have the same mind set as the young men and look at the situation as they are "just playing". My opinion is that these things are so often over looked in school that it is believed to be ok and then leads to further assaults out of school like rape and gang rape by friends of that male. This also creates a feeling for the males that the can do this to every female they meat because it is done everyday. In a interview Alica was asked "how often would you say that girls get touched inappropriately?" she responded "everyday". So in a not muter mind it seams this applies to every girl unless the girl stands up and say other wise  but since they are so use to it and don't think its that serious all the time they don't say anything so who is really to blame if only a select few care about it. And how do you help the ones who do? Not many authority figures look at this problem as big its minute to the one not getting it done to them so it is over looked.    ace40

chapter 4 "asleep"

Most people are asleep to the fact that delinquents are prayed upon by older men and adolescent there age. Moreover the are asleep to the fact that these young ones have something to do with why they are sexually abused sometime. It says "adolescent girls and young women have the highest rates of victimization." You have to ask yourself important questions when touching this subject, does she talk to the older guy as a friend and implied a sexual invitation, or does she where cloths to fit the part and where does she go, is it to a place where the rape rate is high etc. Some of the things you have to ask before you go playing the blame game. In no way am i coding the demoralizing fashion of rape on our urban women,but i am saying other things done by the victim constructs if they are targeted or not. They say the adolescents rape rate is high but why? Is it because of there vastly developing bodies,or is it because they embrace these new attributes and show them off for attention they never got earlier in life. So you tell me why as a girl walks down a street why is she whistle at and call vulgar names. My other point i will make is it goes pass the victims and the beginning of this situation sometime starts at home. Family problems also play apart in what happens to that females future.The coercion when ask "Have you every been sexually abused by someone in your family?', was 5 (14%) out of 35. That was a small percentile but it shows that the offender does not have everything to with the situation. That then brings the question what is the rest of the percent, are the girls letting it happen?or are they just to scare to do anything about it. For example in the text "Alica was first pressured at the age of 14 into unwanted sex by her boyfriend, later the same young man raped her and also arranged for his friends to run a train on her at her house. So why couldn't she fight this off maybe it was because she was used of it as the text further describes. "Felicia was sexually abused by a family friend when she was 6 and he was 16. So by this happening it sort of created a bad comfort zone the she became accustom to. ace40
