The current rating system hurts places such as school, streets, and the home environment. For example, if a teenager watches a NC-17 movie he will act older. Since the content is restricted from the teenager, it will instigate the teen to act more mature and want to act as the actors (Gustafson 1).…

Lives Matter movement was created as a response to the unjust killings of unarmed black men and women in the United States. The purpose of black lives matter is create awareness to killings that are happening and that have been happening in the country. They would also like to bring about change in the way the cases are handled, due to the fact that many of the police officers who shoot and kill unarmed black men do not get indicted.

such as journals, art, and stories passed down through the cultures descendants. No matter how many sources there are that describe what the culture was like and how they lived, there will always be gaps in the information.

It was not meant to align the nation with…

this is a major issue that America is facing right now. I wanted to have more knowledge on the issue and to have more of an understanding to who is at fault. Also, I believe that this is a touchy subject in the media currently and needs more attention in solving the issue. I am passionate about ending the violence that is occurring.
