Stereotypes.

      Stereotypes: A Widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person.

      Blacks: Most black stereotypes are that they are gangsters, murderers, thieves, rapist, and drug dealers or attics. 

     White: Sociopaths, kidnappers, racist, serial killers, con artists, uptight, rich, arrogant, and ignorant. 

     Hispanics: Gang members, crazy, stupid, have lots of kids, mouthy, perverts, and pack in cars like anchovies. 

     Asian: Smart, eats lots of rice, know karate, They speak like CHING CHANG CONG, best at math,  and don't drive well

     Africans: All eat fufu, super black in skin complexion, poor, dumb, loud, obnoxious,  

Wouldn't you hate to be categorized simply based on your race? People get judged every and every where they go because of the appearance and race. Stereotyping is a major issue in our world today and we need to learn to get to know people before they automatically judge them. Thinking a group of people are evil just because of where they are from is is problem because they could be the most kindhearted person that you could meet. Examples of stereotyping is found all around. For instance when black people walk into stores they the sales associate always pays more careful attention to them over any other type of group because black people are classified as "thieves." People who have dreads classified as pot heads, and crazy.

How Technology is Taking Over!!!

     Technology today has become so advanced it is almost impossible to live life without it. Teens today have everything they need either on the phone, laptops, or ipads. Technology is a contributing factor in why some teens are barely getting by or failing their courses in school because they have no time to study. Most of a average teens time is consumed by twitter, instagram or facebook. It is difficult for families to even have bonding time because children won't put their phone down long enough to even enjoy time spent with their families. Kids are beginning to get more electronic items at a younger age. They quickly become addicted to them and are left open to the dangers of the internet and other things out there. 
     Technology is to the point where babies know how to use electronics better than adults. For instance my niece was one year old and knew how to work an ipod touch. When we were the growing up we had nothing like the children of elementary and younger have now.
     Some of the equipment that use to have to be done by man are being taking over by machines that can do the same work faster and more efficiently. They have robots that are so advance that it once seemed impossible. There are now vacuum cleaners that cleans by themselves. Things like this are the reason people are so lazy because they rely so much on technology these days.

Coping with Death

     There are many different ways to deal with the death of a loss one. Some ways to deal with the death is to remember the happier moments with the loved one that has passed away. For instance, when my fish died I was very sad. He was a blue & purple Betta fish. I remember the times when I used to watch him swim around like Nemo with his cripple fin. I used to feed him chicken, beef, even Chipotle!!! He loved Chipotle more than I ever will. I never really gave him a set name, so I called him whatever came to mind. There is nothing like losing something/someone so dear to you. Eventually, I got over the loss of my fish and got a new one! 
     
This time it was a girl and she was a gangsta fish, she was a straight G. I got her ass a pistol, a knife and a straight razor. I attempted to get her a boyfriend fish but she was very abusive. She used to bite him, cut him, and even tried to shoot him. The two had to be separated because of the violence. I never understood why she was so mean to him but, I eventually found out. He cheated on her in the Walmart I got them from. She wanted her revenge and got what she wanted.
     
     In other instances, coping may not come as easily. My junior year of high school my friend Travon Scott passed away. I remember laughing and joking with him on that Wednesday in school. The next day (Thursday) he did not attend school, I didn't think nothing of it. That Friday I found out on Facebook that he had passed. I would have never thought that someone that I was so cool with & and be with everyday would all of a sudden be gone. To this day, I still cant believe that he died. I later found out that it was due to heart failure. We were supposed to graduate together along with the rest of our friends in our class. So on our graduation day, they honored him which made me feel like he was still there with us.
