Ch. 5 Part 2

This weeks reading was quite interesting yet again. In the first section it was talking about how homosexuality is portrayed in cartoons. I have no had a problem with homosexuals and i’m not to sure why people do. They treat them differently like they’re not human just because they don’t match up to the media’s standards. Apprently people don’t want to get children the idea to think that being gay is an ok thing so they don’t want that portrayed through the media. This is only giving children the idea to exclude people who are differnt from them from their lives. Just like proposition 8 in California, this is supposed to be a country where we are free yet we are restricting something that is really just pointless to restrict. But that’s my thoughts on that. The second section was ok. It talked about Reality Tv and how it revolutionized television but it is also already going down hill. I love Big Brother, I’ve watched pretty much every season and i think it is totally hilarious. They did mention the show Big Brother a couple of times within the essay as well as survivor and other reality Tv shows. I’m not sure why but i do love to watch reality tv shows just because i think they’re hilarious even the ones that are scipted like that stupid MTV show Parental Control. That is by far the most scripted show i have seen in my life with terrible actors, but i guess that helps make the show funny. As for the last section was yet another essay what what is considered to be art. I didn’t find this essay any different then the other essays with the book that talked aboout what is considered to be art. What it really comes down to is that if a person makes it then it is considered art. More than half of the time it won’t even be good, not even a little bit, but it still art either way. I know that i am a terrible artist. It really is just sad. THis weeks reading was ok, but i’m the group leader for the discussion tomorrow and i hope that i do lead a good discussion
