What is cool?
Today I went to the mall and I saw a lot of teens hanging
out. I found it interesting that most of them were not shopping but just
hanging out looking “cool”. This one group of kids had on all black with
piercing and dark hair. The other group of kids I saw was a bunch of girls
talking, with short skirts on and the few that didn’t have on a skirt had then
bellies pierced and short top on. This store in the mall called DEB is a reason
why some of these girls dress they way do because they have clothes like this
for them to buy.

racist?
I interviewed a 10 year-old named Patrick, asking him questions about TV and the media. I first started out with showing him pictures of toys. One toy being a white male and then other toy being a black male, automatically without any hesitation at all he picked the white male toy. When I asked him why he responded “HAHA the other guys black…Ew, I wouldn’t touch him.” I then asked Patrick about the TV shows he watched. Like any other media driven child he watches all the newest shows and was attached to the TV. I asked if he watched any shows such as Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, The Cosby Show, Everybody Hates
Chris, The Proud Family, he said no his parents “didn’t allow him to watch shows like that.” When I asked what he meant by saying “shows like that,” he said “I don’t know they just don’t like them so I don’t watch them.” Which brings me to think of subconscious racism. Patrick’s parents don’t allow him to watch “black” Television shows, they know why he cannot watch them but he does not
