My research project has started out poor I’m not going to lie. Wile I have multiple sources about my topic I know I didn’t write enough. I know I didn’t write enough because I did this on short noticed. The writing wasn’t up to par and there were a lot of misspells and gamer errors. It also shows that I shouldn’t be doing things last minuet. As that can hurt my grade which is already bad as it is.
I really don’t know why I chose to start writing my paper last minute, I assume I was too tired over the weekend and thought I’ll do it Sunday. But then Sunday came around and I am stuck doing it at ten o clock at night. It’s a bad way to write a paper that’s for sure. I’m hopeful that I can get the work done after spacing it out over a period of time. I am hopefully that I can learn from this mistake and to start writing papers in chunks. What I mean is get a little bit done one at a time. That’s what I should’ve done with this paper. I should’ve spaced it out and not waited till the last minute. If I had spaced it out I’m sure I wouldn’t be scrambling at the last minuet to get work done. I got my sources but I was just uncertain about what to write down from those sources. And weather to go more in depth on certain things, like if I should have put more info about cyber bullying. What I mean is should I add what is cyber bullying how it could affect you and other things. I know I need to add more to my other two topics, and maybe I should add a third or fourth topic. Another thing I was struggling with was how much is too much information. I wasn’t sure what information to put in the research project, and what would be too much. My goal for now is too add more to my paper and possibly add a few more topics before the end of the semester. Another thing I want to do is get a visual representation of what I need to write. I’ve noticed that if I’m able to visualize something I can type it out and pretty quickly too. My other goal is to create a more detailed work cited and not just have the links at the bottom of the page saying work cited. What I’m actually going to format them correctly and then insert them into my research paper and where they need to go. And have someone look over it before the end of the semester just to make sure everything is OK. In conclusion There’s a lot I need to work on, like adding more detail and possibly adding a few more topics. But I am confident I can get it done. In conclusion I have a lot of work to do. But I know I can get it done.

In class this week we talk further about our research projects. The topic for my research project is how does social Media effect teen boys. We also talk about our thesis statements and how to create a thesis statement. In class we talk about a pyramid that helps us create a thesis statement. It starts with a hook, then background information, then a bridge and then the thesis statement. Then we talk about the 4 ways to create a thesis statement those being question, direct quote, opening antidote or a counter argument. My thesis state is, Social media animates toxic behaviors in teenage boys because. I still haven’t done the research; my goal is to start the research tomorrow. From there I will start the process of the research paper. In conclusion is class we talk about creating a thesis statements which there are several ways to do. One is to use a hook, background information then a bridge and a statement. The other being Question, Direct quote, opening antidote or a counter argument. In conclusion this is what we went over in class this week.
In class this week we talked about the films we watched, Miss Representation and The Mask you live in. In class we dissected the dialogue from both films. We created a slug line a six-word memoir and a poem all from the dialogue we went over. The slug line for Miss Representation was “I think it’s really hard for women today. While our other Slug Line for the mask you live in is “Is football players don’t cry.
For Miss representation our slug line shows how the media can miss represent women and how women can be miss treated. While the Slug Line for the Mask You Live in means that boys can’t show emotions and can’t cry. Our group didn’t come up with a memoir or a poem. In conclusion in class we dissected the dialogue from Miss Representation and the mask you live in. We then had to create a slug line a six-word memoir and a poem from the dialogue that we created. And this is what we created. In this blog, I will interpretation two documentaries I watched Miss Representation and the mask you live in. The focus in Miss representation is the miss representation of women in media and in general. While the focus of The Mask you Live in is how men are to be taught to think a certain way. Both these films make me feel annoyed, and it’s because it’s the way I was grown up. Both my sister and I were taught from a young age that you could be anything you want to be.
There are no stereotypes to go after, and there are no trends to follow. It also annoys me how the three most damaging words to a boy are “Be a man.” That’s complete crap, how can that damage a boy’s psyche. When I was little, I played with my sister’s barbies, did my dad tell me to “man up” no. Did it affect my psyche playing with girls’ toys no, did affect me playing sports no, did it affect me being able to do man work outside no? Hell, all my decisions playing sports weren’t because I needed to feel more like a man! I wanted to go out and try to play it. I did that with hockey, and I did that with golf, I did that with soccer. The film makes me think that these kids need therapy. And maybe if girls and men could say screw the media and not care what the Kardashian put out or whatever some famous person did and try to be just like them. This film also made me think that kids these days aren’t going to their parents enough. Nor are the parents being parents and telling them to be yourself. In my opinion, if you’re a teenager and you want to be like Kim Kardashian or some sports star you got some serious problems in your head. There is no reason for you to be thinking you want to be the next Kardashian; instead, you should focus on being yourself. My last thought is there isn’t enough parenting going on in today's world. I see it all the time at work, parents today don’t have the time for their kids, they would rather stick them in front of a screen and go off to work. And you wonder why your child wants to be the next Kardashian or feeling insecure it’s because there craving for attention for their parents. T here is some stuff to change in this world. I agree that the media has created these perfect women and I think the press should dumb it down. I think we should also stop praising celebrities thinking they're the greatest when in reality they're nothing more than a person. In conclusion, my thoughts on these two documentaries and how they made me think are annoyed that some people feel like this, and how some teenagers should go to therapy because they are keeping all these emotions inside of them |
