Back from the Weekend....
This past weekend, i had a skating carnival in plattsville. For most people it isnt a very big deal, however for those of us in it, it is ALOT of hard work and LONG HOURS put into what seems like 3 extremely short shows. It seemed like each show was like 20 minutes when in reality they were each about 2 full hours. Alot of friends and family fo the skaters came to help support us in our show and overall it went pretty well. We, as the skaters even choreographed a special tribute number for our coaches to show our immense appreciation and love for them. However, after this weekend. I am quite glad that it is over for now, just because it will be nice to have time to do nothing, and catch up on homework (like writers craft for example) that i haven't had time for the past two weeks.
On another note, in philosophy, i am in a debate about the potential banning of music videos that portray women in a derogatory or disrespectful way, with the inclusion of violent images involving women. I have strong feelings towards this banning as i feel that it is extremely inappropriate, that we as a society feel that it is important to censor and put special ratings on movies and television programs that contain controversial, violent, sexual or profane images, however, when it comes to having half naked girls dancing around in a music video to a song that contains numerous profanities, it is remarkable to me that we do not feel the obligation to protect our children from such images being aired during the daytime hours without so much as an indication that the upcoming video may be inappropriate for some audiences.
I think that it is impossible to monitor children 100% of the time, and therefore it is the responsibility of the broad casting authorities to make the call that these images are inappropriate in our society, and directly conflict with our society's values and something needs to be done immediately, to protect our youth from these inappropraite images that they will be exposed to, that could potentially cause the wrongful treatment and inequality of women.
Just my thoughts....and preparationf or my debate. Any comments?Let me know what you think...
