HipHop1

"Many rappers are just reinforcing negative stereotypes about urban youth and younger people of color." I disagree because most rappers rap about what they experienced in their life. About how they don't want younger people in general to do the same.Some rappers do reinforce the negative stereotypes but that's only because they know that's what the people want to hear.

"Its only-at the end of the day, its only entertainment."-Jadakiss, Rapper
I agree because its only what people want to hear. I mean some people might take it to heart. But if you don't want your child to listen to that then don't let them.

Killing Me Softly Part3 vs. Tough Guise

Killing Me Softly Part3 vs. Tough Guise
In killing me softly the lady was talking about of woman are being belittled and disrespected by the media in so many ways. In a way I agree with her because women are always at the center of attention in the media.Whether they want to be or not. In tough guise they show how men in magazines, movies and television has an influence on boys of over. The media shows that its okay to be a tough guy and women can be disrepected. Its teaching the childern to become like the men and women in the media. In a way both men and women are belittled by the media.

Key Concepts

All messages are constructed
I understand this key concept because every message has a story behind it wether its good or bad. It depends on the way they are put together. For example Jessica Simpson on the cover of mazagines in her fat jeans. They made seem as if she gained 50 pounds.But in real life she gained atleast 20 pounds.Its all in the way the media put it together
