New Fashion Wrinkle


In Journalism class we read an article about  new fashion wrinkle: Stylishly hiding the gun. the article talked about how clothing company's are make clothes tat you could hide your gun in. it talked about how the companies have made more money on the clothing since they changed the law on concealed hand guns. some of the clothing the article talked about was the a "light weight water resistant vest. it looks to be a regular vest but had gun pockets. it has pockets to make it look like the person is warming their hands but the person is gripping the gun."

I think that by people making their clothes to fit guns in them is telling people that it is safe to have handheld weapons on them. I think that clothing companies should not do this to their clothing because it is taking control of peoples mind. When one person does something other people see that and the makes them think that if one person does that then it is okay for them to do it too. If this keeps happening by the summer of 2012, everyone will be wearing cute clothes but underneath their clothing could be a weapon. This allows people to use violence but because of their clothing people wouldn’t even know that they have a gun. Its basically a way to say that everyone can hold a gun.

Broadcasting a World Of Whiteness


This week in journalism class we read an article about broadcasting and how some TV shows should be more diverse. It talked about a show on HBO that has all white cast members. Most reviews about the show are good but some people think the show should be diverse. The article talks about diversity and how it is reflected in bodies. Most people think this is an act of bringing racism back out and they think TV shows show make sure their shows are diverse so that all people can feel welcome.

I agree with some of the comments in the article. I think TV shows should make their shows diverse because what if a little girl watches the show a d she only sees white people she probably would start think that she isn’t good enough to be on a show like that and it could crush her dreams. I agree that this is an act of racism not that the shows are trying to be racist but by not diver sing the shows can make it portray that way. Looking at most of the shows on TV is kind of diverse while other is more diverse. I just think that people should make it their job to diverse the TV show.
