Observe your Surroundings Assignment # 2

Heres a list of social issues I have seen or noticed in my surroundings:

. Kids around my age getting mugged or beat up by near highschool students. (mostly john jay)
. Grownups or kids littering on the street or out of car windows.
. Kids calling other kids inapropriate or discusting  names the internet (mostly facebook).
. Racist remarks!

REFLECTION:
       All of this stuff makes me sick to my stomach! First of all kids getting mugged by bigger and stronger kids is just plain out wrong, and HAS to stop sooner or later. Who ever is picking on smaller kids are either messed up in the head or raised poorly. Secondly, I HATE when I see grownups litter!!!!!! They should know that its not good for the enviorment at all, and on top of that it might not effect their life but it will effect their great grandchildrens life!

Media/News assignment # 1

SOCIAL ISSUES:
. Major bullying. like kids bringing guns and knives to school.
. Mom killing her infant daughter.
. Lady throwing a bucket of puppy's into a river.
. Facebook bullying.
. Train station stabber.

REFLECTION:
         All of these horrible social issues I saw on the news makes me think about how terribly horrible people there are in this world. Also, it makes me think about all of the social actions that could be done to solve or help these social issues. For facebook bullying, its mostly kids, so more schools should have big assemballys to show that that is a wrong thing to do. For kids bringing guns and knives to school, maybe the parents can raise them a bit better and make sure that doesn't happen again. At least this does not happen at ms51! In my opinion, there should be more police officers at train stations so their arent too many more train station stabbers.
