MIA BAD GIRLS SUPER BOWL HALFTIME SHOW

I feel a if me personally being a fan of MIA I am used to her controversial tactics and as a fan i have learned to accept her skew of abnormal behavior. So this article isnt really a shocker I Know that mia uses shock value to her highest level when ever given the chance. Bad girls wasnt no exception she utilized the total abomination of women in arabic culture where many westerners would say they dont have rights. The women in this video were indeed " Bad girls" and being able to do things that would not be tolerated in the middle east. Manny applaud MIA for these efforts and the article spoke of just that so it was very interesting to read something that i felt was true and it really shows MIA utilizes the way of expressing ones self and personal opinion with her music videos and actions it is truly a sight too see. NO WHERE NEAR SELLING OUT.

1. Write a 15-line reflection on current gender roles, using the following questions to help formulate the reflection (your answers and opinions):

- what is expected of men and women in America in 2012 that’s specific to gender? I feel in 2012 there is definitely a double standard with women and men. You can see the social behavior on shows like the jersey show i think that would probably be the best example to display. You see in the jersey shore theyre a family basically of Italian guidos and guidetes. They work during the day then go out partying and take people back home and do theyre deeds. The men are exalhted while the women are ridiculed and known as whores or things of that nature while the men are seen as cool or players. For me a woman is the opposite and opposites attract and i view women as equals. - how are men and women perceived in America in 2012 by the opposite sex?what are the difficulties/advantages of being a man or a woman in 2012? Women to some are still percived as unequal / all they are fit to do is cook and clean and i think that is wrong. Im not sure of the advanteges/ disavantages. - what are some stereotypes associated with being a man or a woman in 2012? But as for stereo types men not being loving and women being caring and what not

2. Using one of last week’s Scenario Questions, Write a 5 line answer-explanation from the perspective of one of the characters from Garcia Girls. Put simply, if Yolanda or Carlos, etc. were posed this question, based on what you know about them thus far, how would they answer, and why?

I just want my daugjhter to be good and put in a position where she doesnt disgrace our family that is all i want in life and i think the responsibility of a good father i should do everything in my power to enforce an protect my daughter and my family name. So i conclude in my opinion that im doing everything right

1) to me Albert Einstien is definately important due to his contributions of science but as some one who had an impact on me not really. Compared to somebody who has magical powers that would have more of an impact than just some scientist.

5) Well i like my collar bone and i also like Alice in Chains a little bit so i wouldnt mind you have to take sacrifices for the people that you love. If it came down to just listening to music i would have no problem because im a muscian and i love music as well.

7) Hands down lochness monster i heard all these stories of nessie when i was a child growing up and finding out about the lochness would be a dream come true it would be crazy to do that crazy monster are you serious forget sasquatch or anything else.

12) honestly if a wizzard did that i would yell witch craft and just like the good ol' days in salem we would either burn him alive or drown him because thats what needs to be done for witches i dont tolerate witch craft and demonic behaivior

16)honestly know the future and all of that would take the thrill out of life as i know it if i was in that perdicament id honestly kill myself or freeze my self in ice like walt disney it would honestly be the only solution to what i find as a problem

19)I would just kick my friend and laugh if they get madf at me id tell them they were about to die and if they were not greatful for my kick i would slap them some more because thats messed up to not be greatful for a good friend.

20)the brutal honest one the one i would bwe afraid to see but would need to see to make sure it was true and see my life as it is trully documented the things i hate the things i love and all that good stuff
