Bye Bye Paris Hilton

If I had to chose a celebrity to remove from their spotlight, I would chose Paris Hilton. Paris Hilton is one of the most ignorant individuals I have ever seen. As a child Paris grew up in a wealthy family, a family that made her famous. She had everything she ever wanted, everything was given to her. She never had to work hard to earn anything. Paris Hilton took advantage of her parents fame to put her into the spotlight. She has accomplished nothing, but a dirty sex tape. She is a horrible role model to young girls. She lets young girls think it it alright to exploit their bodies in the way that Paris does. She is always photographed at parties belligerent and half-clothed. Paris Hilton also thinks that if she says, "That's Hot" it will make her look attractive. In reality, She sounds so stupid and uneducated by using those terms to comment on things. Finally, She has stared on her own reality T.V show to find a "Best Friend." Last time I checked you don't go on television to find your best friend. Your character is what finds you a true friend. Obviously Paris is lacking character, since she is so desperate to find a friend on a reality show.

I think if Paris Hilton was removed from the media it would benefit young girls. Paris Hilton is nothing but a joke. Her negative ways show young girls this is how they should act as an adult. If young girls watch what Paris Hilton is doing in the media, then they might grow up to do the same things. If Paris is gone, that is one less bad role model to effect a young, nieve brain.

I feel that if we look at people like Paris Hilton as a role model, then what are our views of a true role model. Paris Hilton has done nothing to make herself a success. She hasn't accomplished anything in her life to make a difference. She is leading young girls down the wrong path. If people think that Paris Hilton's lifestyle is appropriate, they don't have a clue how a women should portray themselves. Women should not be viewed as uneducated, unsuccessful, half-clothed, sex symbols. A women should be viewed as a strong, smart, accomplished individual. With people like Paris Hilton, it is impossible for our society to view women as real women, not a stupid slut.

Choosing A Topic

Racism- I can't stand people that are racists. I don't know how someone good judge another individual based on their skin color. People that are racists are absolutely ignorant. All people of society are equal and should be treated the same, not based on what ethnicity you are. Racist people don't realize that our world is made up of so many cultures, and one of those people of a different race may be the one to save your life one day.

Abortion- Abortion is such a contraversial topic. I think abortion only should be allowed under certain circumstances. Abortion should only be considered if you have been raped or know you can not support a child. I would rather someone put their child up for adoption when it is born than to abort their unborn baby but, it really just depends on the situation.

Death Penalty- I think that any individual that has been convicted of murder, either first or second degree should be sentenced to the death penalty. No matter what state you live in, if you can bring yourself to take someones life, your own life should be taken as well. People who murder other people care flat-out dirty, they don't deserve to live if they can take that away from another individual.

Gay Marriage- I feel that gay marriage is somewhat different, but people shouldn't be discriminated because of what they like. People can be attracted to who ever they want, you never know how people may feel about others even if they may be the same sex. I just think there should be a limit on the amount of exposure a gay couple displays to others.

Runaway Jury

Runaway Jury has been a very interesting movie so far. It is one of those movies that you never know what is going to happen next. From watching the movie to this point, I think the overall outcome of the trial will be in favor of Mrs. Wood, the widow. I also think the Gun company will definilty have to pay for the murders of those people that worked for the business firm. Even though Marlee and Mr. Easton are trying to throw the jury off, I still feel that the trial will still be in favor of the Plantiff.
In the movie so far, the trial has been very indept. The court representatives are not taking this case as a joke. Every little detail of the trial is being looked at percisly. During the trail, Mr. Rohr brought up a very good point, he stated that the seller of the guns did not even take the time to look into why this customer was purchasing so many weapons. He was just selling them to his customers for profit towards the gun company. It dosen't make any sense as to why this one person needs so many guns. That piece of imformation was a strong clue for the jurors. This one minor point was a key part in my opinion, to let the jury know why and how this gun company played a role in the murders of these individuls.
