                        ASM201 - COMMENTS Comment #1  https://laravsthew0rld.blogspot.com/2019/05/church-vs-state-should-abortion-be-legal.html I saw many people sharing their opinions about abortion on social media and I strongly agree that abortion should be legal due to various reasons. I find it ridiculous and disgusting how men get to decide what a women is able to do. It is their bodies and therefore it is their choice. Men don't know what it feels like to be in this position. It is not okay to force women to have kids they don’t want or can’t support. Abortions are still going to happen regardless, all these new laws are doing is taking the right to do it safely and putting their life in danger.

DON'T MESS WITH OUR EDUCATION! As we know, Premier-designate Doug Ford has outlined what he plans to do in his Plan For The People and, while there also have been a number of promises made during the campaign.    Many of us are well informed on what Doug Ford has planned to do with our education. He  plans to get rid of ' discovery math ', ban cell phones in class, make math mandatory in teachers’ college, "fix" EQAO and put a different standardized testing program in place and bring back Ontario's old sex ed curriculum until a new one is put in place. He also planned to ban cellphones in classrooms, bigger classes and to cut OSAP. Schools Participate in the Walkout on April 4, 2019 When many students heard this, they were very upset and angry about it. On April 4, 2019, students participated in the walkout to protest education changes. Personally, I think that what Doug Ford is doing is ruining our education and is affecting everyone...

Viral Conspiracy Theory Claims Eminem Has Died And Been Replaced By A Robot   Fake news, also known as junk news or pseudo-news, is a type of yellow journalism or propaganda that consists of deliberate disinformation or hoaxes spread via traditional news media or online social media. Fake news has the power to influence people across the political spectrum and beyond. It's been a part of media history long before social media, since the invention of the printing press. On the internet, people would form the headline called "clickbait" entice people to click to read more about it, but it doesn't correlate to the actual topic.   Many people believe that Eminem passed a way and the guy currently posing as Eminem is a robot. Personally, I think this is false. This video about the rapper becoming a robot was posted on Oct.16, 2019. Based on my research, I figured that the host in this video is only a Youtuber and is not an expert. She would not know...

                        CULTURE APPROPRIATION Many people around the world celebrate Halloween  Costume parties are held and many children go trick-or-treating around this time of the year.   On October 17, 2017, Teen Vogue posted a video titled, "My culture is NOT A costume." The video clip shows a group of young women of colour  talking about their cultures being used as their costumes. They share their experiences and opinions about these costumes.     In my opinion, it was never a problem to dress up into these costumes .   We are supposed to be embracing, supporting and sharing other people's cultures. We are not assigned and restricted due to the way we were born. Many of us admire famous people who have different ethnicities and want to dress up as them for Halloween. Th e problem with this is that people will think you are disrespecting their culture and is considered r...

"YOUNG PEOPLE SHOULDN'T VOTE!" There has been an on-going debate about whether younger people should or not. The video clip showcases a group of elderly citizens talking about young people. They are giving reasons why young people should not vote and their opinions about them. As I was watching the video, my eyes widened and were shook because of the message the older generation is trying to give. Personally, I am offended. The video is very discouraging and judgemental towards the younger generation. Older people should not assume that all children are immature. I strongly disagree that all young people don't care about politics and are unaware of our society.     Firstly, at the age of 16, we are educated and are learning about politics.  Letting young people vote would boost Canadian’s lifelong participation in the democratic process while also strengthening it. Secondly, we w ould give the generation the chance to have a real say in the society they alre...

Conservatives Burning Nikes in Protest     An American football player’s public protest against police brutality and racial discrimination may have cost him his career. Kaepernick ignited a growing trend among US pro athletes to “take a knee” during the national anthem at the start of games. The campaign helped support him but also brought hate towards Nike. The ad is a black-and-white close-up of Kaepernick’s face with the words, “ Believe in something, Even if it means sacrificing everything. " - a reference dedicated to the NFL lawsuit for allegedly colluding to keep the former San Francisco 49ers, quarterback over the protests. People that were disappointed with the move began to fire their sneakers and sportswear to protest Nike using Kaepernick to promote the 30th anniversary of its "Just Do It" advertising campaign. Nike's choice to build his brand around Kaepernick with his post-Labor Day payout, what he stands for, and all the policies that ...
