Media Reflects the Society and the Majority

It would be very easy to say that the result for the American public having such poor understanding of their bodies and as a collective group constantly striving for unrealistic expectations and beauty standards is a result of the media when it is really the result of the people in the society that allow and push forth these standards and beliefs. I do not like the images that Americans, including myself, are striving to achieve but i am willing to take the responsibility for being someone who agrees and in some ways likes the unrealistic image of beauty that many Americans strive for. I like skinny girls, that have bodies that are kept in constant shape and have a very limited amount of fat. I am willing to admit that and I'm also willing to admit that some people can't handle being so skinny or being a part of that standard but the fact of the matter is that this standard speaks for a majority, not one that is 50% or 80% but one that is maybe 1 in 3 and everyone else falls into other groups of how they view beauty. The images that are put forth by the media are ones that speak out to the largest group and the largest group, in some ways including me, likes the images and agrees with them. Don't be upset or feel inferior that you aren't skinny, or whatever else the media shows beauty to be, as others in the world and around you don't all agree to those standards and everyone has a place where they fit and can be beautiful.

Legal Weed Not Medical Marijuana

Growing up for a majority of my life in the Bay Area i have a say about if marijuana can really be used as a substance for ethical and medical reasons, as i am an expert, for the abundance of weed in the area i have spent the majority of my life is overwhelming and my constant involvment with individuals who are legal and illegal users is on a daily basis. The arguments for medical marijuana are beautiful, like a flower opening in the summer with rich vivid colors, the arguments convince you that marijuana can really be used as a substance to help the public. The cruel reality is, the world we live in isn't a summers day but a winter morning in Massachusetts with a whirlwind of cold air and snow that pull this beautiful flower out by the root. It is impossible to have marijuana be used for medical reasons as it is a substance that is abused for pleasure and not for the help that it can give. It is sad that a substance that can actually help individuals is an item that very few can use in a controlled and rational manner. Marijuana can help but our immature public is unable to take marijuana and use it the way it should for the average person is not strong enough to not fall under the negative effects of weed at this time of our development as a society.
