Your Not Allowed To Say That
The use of the N word is a very taboo one. It is ok if an African American calls another African American that word. If that were to happen some people would not think twice about it, but if say a white person calls an African American the N word it is not okay. Some people act as if the world is coming to an end if that would to happen. Don’t get me wrong I am not racists at all; I actually have a problem with the word being used in general. If you have a problem with the word, you should not use it at all, even if it’s one African American to another. For example I have a huge problem with the word slut. If as a girl I have a problem with guys calling girls slut, I should also not allow girls to call other girls sluts either. Which is what I do, I do not even allow other girls to call me a slut. I think the term in general is very degrading. So if African American have problems with other ethnic groups calling them the N word, maybe they should consider stop using the term themselves.

Illegality
Recently there has been a lot of debate of illegal immigrants. I think it’s wrong of people to stereotype certain groups of people as being illegal, but I do not think that it is ok that people think it is ok come into the US without the government’s permission. I do not mind when new immigrants come into the country the legal way, but it really gets me when people come in illegally and stay here working. There are several reasons why I do not like this. The first reason is there is a reason why the US does not except everyone into the country. If we did there could be the possibility that a lot of the people could find it really hard or impossible to find jobs, which would make the unemployment rate skyrocket. The next reason is that if they are here illegally they are not paying any taxes. This would mean that they would be using and getting the perks of paying taxes without actually paying them. The next is that a good bit of them use the money that they make and send them to their families back in the country that they came from. This means that they are not spending the money to help out the US’s economy but a different countries economy. The last reason is that these illegal’s take the jobs of actually citizens since a lot of them work below minimum wage.

Sexualatlity its Everywhere
I can see how people today think that there is so much more TV than there used to be. This is because they are thinking of cable TV not network television. Today there are so many more channels for people to pick from, which means if someone wants to watch a show with sexuality they can find it. When people get mad about there being too much sex on TV I think that it is silly, find a different show to watch. Like there are so many options of channels today, if you think that there is too much sexuality in the show that you are watching, get over it and change the channel. I would understand if there were only a couple of channels on TV and them all had sex on it all the time, then get mad. I think that as long as there are different options for different people it should be ok. If parents do not trust their kids, they should get parental block on their TV’s so their kids can not watch the shows that they do not think is appropriate. Also if parents think these highly sexual shows are increasing the teenage pregnancy rate, maybe they should actually talk to their kids about safe sex and abstinence instead of just blaming it on the television programs.
