Television: Plug-In Drug

What effects-positive or negativie- do you think television has had on your life? What would your life be like without it?

There alot of positves and negatives about television. The positives about television is that it lets you know about the world around you. Theres alot of educated television shows that people learn from. The negatives are that television takes away from studying or social activities. Television has had a good effect on my life. I love t.v especially Lifetime and USA. If there was no t.v I would be bored. When I'm depressed I watch to t.v to take my mind off things.

I think that carrying a handgun was more safe for her. Hasselstrom had gain her confidence after the first time when she approach the men that were doing wrong on private land.

The examples that they give in the story is clear about youth becoming thugs... When he said,"I recall the points at which some of my boyhood friends were finally seduced by the perceptions of themselves as tough guys".

You barely see older boys cause the young boys have taken over the streets. I agree with everything he says about youth becoming thugs.

Would you ever get a tattoo?

I already have a tattoo. I decide to get a tattoo because I always wanted a tattoo. It wasn't because everybody had one it was because thats what I always wanted.

So when I made 18 I sign for myself me and my brother went together.

Thinking about Your Own Use of Paragraphs

1. Many people are still based on sterotypical beliefs. 2.It is not fair for me to be looked at differently or judged based on someone else opinion. 3. However, in today's society many people use stereotypes as a way to be prejudiced towards other religions,ethnic backgrounds, appearances. 4. Although this can affect me in different ways, some find the light at the end of tunnel, and don't feed into the sterotypes.
