Eminem Recovery Road
This post is about the interview on 60 minutes with Eminem.  It was about how he has recovered from his dark stages from being a poor little boy, to being famous, to doing drugs, and to recovering from a lot of his hate he had and his drug abuse.  We got to learn a lot about Eminem, whose real name is Marshall.  This video created a purpose that Eminem has a heart and is on the road to recovery.
Eminem for the Win
Eminem is not a bad guy or hateful like everyone thinks.  He says some of the things he says just for intertainment like all the curse words he says, he doesn't actually do that in his real life with his family.  He has gone through some really bad things, which he has overcame, but there is still some hate he has that will never go away.  He speaks the truth, and he expresses his hate through his music, and whatever is going on in his life in the moment.  He writes his own music, so if you don't like his music or what he represents then don't listen to him, but some people really find the heart in his music.
Who: Eminem (Marshall M)
What: interview with Eminem about his road to recovery
Where: his hometown (Detroit)
When: 2010
Why: to show people why Eminem does and says the things he does, and to show he has changed and is on the road to recovery, and just how successful he is 
How: it happened with an interview with Anderson Cooper, and they thought he was important enough to have an interview.  Eminem really wanted to do this interview beacuase he wanted to show people he is clean and that he has changed, and that he is GOING TO MAKE A COMEBACK.

Child of Rage Blogger Outline

Title: Child of Rage
 Intro: This post is about the video documentary, Child of Rage about a little girl named Beth that has no heart, no conscience because of her birth father that was abusive and a molester.  The reader needs this information that just know about things, know that this stuff does happen, to know why it is not okay to abusive our kids, and maybe have some kind of compassion for this girl.  The purpose this video served is to treat people nicely because if you don't your negativity and stick to them.
Headline: Beth Rages  
Most would think this child should be locked up or killed, but I don't think so.  First, she has gotten better, but even if she didn't I would continue to work on her.  There are many things you can do to help her like send her to a facility like her parents did in the video, and give her extensive therapy.  Anyone with any problems can get better or make improvements.
WHO: Beth a child of rage
WHAT: Beth got abused as a child, and when she got adopted she had so much anger, it carried on with her, and she became a girl that wanted to kill and be mean, so they made a documentary about her
WHERE: The South
WHEN: the 80's
WHY: this documentary happened because it probably wanted to inform people about these things, and that all children aren't that sweet.
HOW: this child of rage went to therapy, and her therapist filmed her sessions, so they then made a documentary about it.
Beth, a little girl got abused and molested as a child, and all that abusive carried on with her to her actually being the abuser.  It's a little bit weird that a sweet looking girl would be abusive like this, but in a way she was sick with no conscience.  Children that are not loved or held "literally" as a child will grow up to have social issues, and that is proved scientifically.  Some would also say that they would love to give her "an old fashioned woolen" or even kill her themselves, but all that is how she got to be how she was in the first place.  This girl is better now based on what the video said, so she was a raged child that became a sweet child, but one thing she was not was a bad child.

Indigo Kids and Autism Kids

Indigo Kids
Some kids in the world have special physic powers, but some people don't believe that that is possible.  There was a family that came on a talk show to talk about their indigo kids.  Apparently one of the kids is her mom's mom in a kid form.  They see things that people don't see, and they know stuff that will happen in the future.  I think Indigo kids are real.

Autism-What would you do?
The month of May is Autism month.  1 out of 88 children are bound to get autism.  Autism is a genetic disease that effects a person's mental health, and makes them act out in a sort of bad way, but they can't help it.  The show, What Would You Do?, did a segment on it.  They had a family with a boy with autism go to a restaurant, and made the boy with autism act out.  They also planted another actor that just dined at the restaurant, and made him "bash" the little boy, and the point was to see how people at the restaurant respond to his mean comments.  They all responded by standing up for the boy with autism, and saying that the man speaking ruddily about him was wrong.  The point of autism month is to show awareness, and maybe raise some money to find a cure, but remember, if you see a person with autism, and if that person is acting out, remember to just cut that person some slack because they can't help it.

segregated proms

          I knew there was still racism in the world today, and there always will be, but I didn't know that it existed like this by having segregated proms in some parts of the South.  I do understand that since the school isn't funding the proms that people can do whatever they want if they are funding it, but I still think its the schools fault, and they could do something about this.  
          In some parts of the south there is still segregated proms.  There is a white prom, and there is a prom for everybody else that isn't white.  If a non white person was to go to the white prom, they would be kicked out.  It is super sad for me to hear about this, and I just want to go to those schools and tell them that it is wrong.

Don't Text and Drive


Hailey Hurowitz
1A

This text and drive video was all boys in a car, telling you not to text and drive, and basically where to put your phone in your car, so you won't text and drive.  Although this video was highly funny because they were singing funny, I thought it was sort of making a mockery of texting and driving.  It was really short, and I think it could of been longer, but I can say that it was good, but not great, and I am only saying critiscism because everything can have critiscism in it.

Who: 5 teenage boys
What: they were doing a PSA on texting and driving
Where: in a car
When: 2010/day time
Why: they were probably doing this psa for school, but also to tell people not to text and drive
How:  It happened by the boys filming probably for class this video, and they probably did it because texting and driving is a very common thing that needs to be stopped!

Story Hunter #4

 Brazil is a Soccer Nation
Intro: This video was about a girl who wants to play soccer, but her family and her nation doesn't want her to because she is a girl, and she can hurt herself.  She plays for a boys team though.  This video services a purpose that girls still don't have equal rights, and that girls should be allowed to do anything boys can do.
Girl Power
Point 1: Girls should be allowed to play soccer in Brazil.  Soccer is fun to some people, and girls should get to experience that fun.  Its not like playing soccer hurts someone, its just a sport and people shouldn't be so uptight about those things.

Point 2:  I do feel like that America has got with the program of letting girls do anything boys can do, but other countries like Brazil haven't and that is a problem.  We, or somebody needs to change that, and women especially need to be more assertive, and stand up for their rights.

Point 3:  Everyone just needs to have more of an open mind about things.  This girl in the video was brave and stood up to her parents and nation, and sometimes you have to do that.  You have to do what is right.

Who: Barbara Tais Battagin
What:  She wants to be accepted by her nation and family for playing soccer
Where: Brazil/Sao Paulo
When: 2010
Why:  To inform people that people are still against girls in some ways in that they don't have equal rights to boys.  To inform that it is not right for girls to not do something that they want to do, but boys can. 
How:  In more so Brazil, and other foreign countries girls have not gotten the same rights as guys.  I guess the girls were sick of it especially this girl, and the video wasn't just to make rights in soccer equal to girls, but for everything.  Hopefully this video can give meaning to the people that are against women's rights.



Brazil's Olympics Preparation
Intro: this video/post is about how these indigenous people living in Brazil are fighting for their home, but the government wants to tare it down because it is not in a good shape, and the fact that it is next to a new stadium for the World Cup and the Olympics is not a good look.
Fight Fight Fight for Your Home 
This video was to try to spread to people that we shouldn't tare their place down because their is history their.  It is not right for us to tare it down because that is their home, and there probably is no place that will accept them then that place.  I do think they made a good point in saying that when all the sports fans come they will need something to do.  They can go visit the indigenous people.
Who: the indigenous people/Carlos Tucano
What:  They are making a video to tell people that they need help in keeping their home
Where: Brazil
When: 2010
Why: home is coming down because it isn't a good look for the World Cup and the Olympics
How: the building is old, and really ratted out, so people want to tare it down, but the indigenous is doing everything they can to keep it up and living
