Blog Response To Magda Drewenska On Animals In The Circus

http://magda-overthehillsandfaraway.blogspot.com/

I agree with these views, and i dont think that animals should be used in the circus. Its a stupid situation where animals are sent insane by the way they are treated.
Another thing can be said about zoo's, i know they are kept well and what not, but still, it is not there homes, and there only intention in the zoo, is for people to come in to stare and point at them.

Comment On Daryl Russel's Racism

http://bom-bom12.blogspot.com/

I do agree with this, there are a lot of people out there that are intentionally racist, but i wouldn't say that everyone is racist in there own way. I think its more that we are all aware of racism and how it has effected people. The way the past has been, its hard not to notice, but it isn't that everyone is racist, jus that everyone is aware.

Blog Response To Laura Cole's Littering

http://lauracole.blogspot.com/

I agree that there are so many ways that littering affects us, in small or big ways, and i do agree that it is a lazy thing to do. I try not to litter, but sometimes i do litter, not because i want to, but because there are many bins around. I dont agree with these people who issue 90 pound fines for people who litter, because i know two people who this has happened to, and they are both small things they have littered. They wouldnt have chased down a bigger person to give them the fine, i know it sounds silly, but its true.

Blog On Stalking And Peodophilia


Stalking is as close to psycho a person can get if you ask my opinion. Its happened to a lot of celebrities over the years due to obsessive fans. But noq because of how the internet has developed and all the socialising networks on the internet, it has became a lot easier for people to stalk others and keep an eye on there every move. This has even gave peodophiles a chance to roam across on young girls and boys personal business.
To me something needs to be done before everything gets out of hand. Peodophiles can get away with a lot of things and will have more chances if there aren't any changes made.

Blog On Infidelity


Infidelity to me is wrong on its own. Obviously, if someone is in a relationship, and is being mistreated by there partner, and seek solitude in another, then that can be acceptable. But i have seen a lot of letters from people in papers and magazines where people who have cheated on there marriage partners but have came out and said when there partners found out, it made there marriage stronger.
I personally can't see how this could happen. To me, if someone cheats, they'll always cheat. Plus when you've found out that you've been cheated on, how can you ever trust your partner again. I wouldn't be able to, and there would always be that incling in the back of your head that its still going on.
This is a bad thing that people have to go through it, but it happens all the time, but people need to find the strength to leave it after its happened, or suffer mentally for the rest of your married life.

Blog On Bad Language


Swearing is becoming a more increased bad element of society at the moment. It seems to be becoming a more acceptable way of talking in this country at the moment. But again, jus like smoking and drinking, i feel that it is a way of trying to showw a macho side and to intimidate people. Its just evolved into a more common thing to hear now.
A lot of people are brought up differently and the way some parents are these days, with age and thought, i feel that it can go from bad to worse. Swearing is a bad way of speec as it a way of showing someone disrespect and unrest.

Blog On Alcohol





Alcohol to me and to a lot of people now is seen as a drug. When looking at what it can do to you over a space of time, and the state it puts you in, is quite off putting. But just like nicotine, its addictive and keeps you hooked no matter how much you dont want to drink. I think that it starts when your young.

Because I know that I started drinking at quite a young age. I believe its because you want to feel tough when your drinking, and also to try and fit in with the crowd that drinks.

It was always seen as cool to drink as a young teenager so the thought of drinking was always a fun prospect. Now its to rink out of enjoyment, and to socialise. Theres no need to try and fit in. But if people could just stop like that i think a lot of them would want to do so.

Blog On Religion


Whilst doing this blog, i thought it would be good to give my views on religion, and how i think it can be placed in the category of being bad. People who are religous I can repect, and I believe everyone is entitled to believe what they want. But when it is peoples beliefs causing wars and killings of people, i don't see much point in it.
To me, i'm not religous in anyway shape or size, because I believe in evolution and science. I think that its a hard thing to believe in something there is no proof whatsoever in. I feel this way about all religions because believing in a world beyond our death limits us to what we do in our lives. Following these beliefs stop you from doing things that you deep down want to do.
This is why i feel that relgion is bad. I think eventually religion will cause another world war, which I thinks pretty stupid seeing as nothing is backed up.

Blog On Drugs


My opinion on drugs is probably quite a bit different to what most people think. To me drugs are a way of escaping reality. When we had the lecture on hallucinogenics, i found what the lecturer had to say was very interesting. Drugs became very popular through the 60s.
To me a lot of drugs are used so that people can relax or forget about the stress related activities of real life. A lot of people say that all drugs are wrong and that they all should be made illegal. But drugs are another sense of medication. certain drugs might be better for some people who might be dealing with depression, or something else that makes them struggle from day to day. I do think though that drugs are over idolised and it can be seen quite easy for young teenagers to feel that drugs aren't as bad as people say, because of how they are portrayed through tv shows.
The link below shows that scientists are using drugs in order to boost peoples brain power. This is another reason why i feel that drugs are always gonna be a part of society, but still there will be a large amount of people that will be against drugs completely.

Blog On Tattoos


When we first had our lecture on tattoos, I first thought to myself about the regrets of tattoos. Being a teenager I know a few people who have tattoos, and they always say to me that they dont regret them. But more of the older people I know have told me that they regret having tattoos. To me i think that tattoos are ok and fine, but only if they mean something to you. If you was to get a tattoo that you thought looked cool, it might come down to just wanting to fit in, or show off.
Because who knows wether your going to like this tattoo when its on your skin, or when your older. The body changes in many ways no matter where the tattoo is. Its another way of showing a different personality. If the tattoo means something to you, then it means something to you, it has a reason to be on your body as it is some part of your appearance and background.
looking at the website at the bottom of this blog is a reply to an online blog about wether people regret there tattoos. Its a male response website so most of the people have said that they dont regret there tattoos. This could mean that the audience for the website is young, or these men jus dont want to seem any less of a man saying that they regret the tattoos on there skin. Its another way of showing a more alpha male type of yourself. To show that you can take the pain of having tattoos. Overall i do think that tattoos are ok on reflection to what they mean to you, where as some tattoos can seem pointless and only a spir of the moment thing.

Being Bad Blog


When we were looking at the subject of bad cinema, i wanted to bring up the movie elephant in the conversation, but didn't particularly have a chance. I wanted to bring this up in the argument that movies of bad nature, are good for everyone. When films come out that that some people find offensive, they don't realise that its meant to be offensive and is created to open peoples eyes.
Elephant is the story based on true events that happened in the columbine massacre. Where students took guns to school and shot other pupils. The way this film is shown, is that it introduces all the characters all differently for most of the film, and then the shooting begins. this film had been made to show people just how sick and twisted some people can be, and shows what small things and bullying can do to some people. there are many films out there that portray accross bad things that happen in real life that most people try to block out and ignore. These kinds of films are there to show people that it is real events and can happen, and people need to stop ignoring true events that can occur.

Blog On Masturbation


When it comes to masturbation, i feel that is just a matter of embarrassment. The way people react to masturbation is always the same as a laughable action. The main reason for this is that it involves the genetalia, and we always keep those things private.
Now though i think that people are becoming more and more confident about talking about sex because it is all over the tv and internet these days. Making people more active with sexual contact.
I think the only thing that makes masturbation a egdy subject for some people is in the way they ddo it. Some use pornography and that is a thing that again will make it a subject under context.
As long as there is pornography, some people are going to see masturbation wrong in the way in which people go about it. This meaning that no matter what, some people will not agree with masturbation.

Blog On Prostitution






This is my blog on the views on prostitution. I think that if a woman or man will accept money for services of a sexual nature then it is a case of prostitution. In the case that money is exchanged with the intent on someone being there, and for no sexual nature whatso ever, then that to would be classed as escort services. Although this is another type of prostitution, i think that as long as there is no intention for sexual content between both parties, then it isn't prostitution.

If a male or female offers money with the intention on there being a sexual interaction, and the money is accepted, it is prostitution. But if the money is accepted and by the end of the night there has been no sexual activity, and the customer is not satisfied, i feel this can go onto the subject of stealing. Although prostitution is wrong, when both parties agree on what the money is for, and someone goes back on that, they've stolen the money through a false agreement. But also on this matter, if a customer doesn't make it clear enough that the money is for sex, then the person accepting the money is not abliged to have to go through with any sexual nature, as it was not in the deal.

to conclude, i feel that prostitution can only be classed as prostitution through a full agreement from both parties, that the money that is being used is for a sexual nature as there are many other words and statures for people who do things for money.
