What Influences Gender Identity?

I believe gender comes the media and society. For example like when you watch T.V. men look big and tough and the women are usually cooking or cleaning. I believe thats how it is in real life because people tend to follow what they see on T.V. Also alot of women like to have jobs and do other things to make thoose sterotypes false. Also in movies and on television men who are weak are the ones who are usually bullied and made fun of because they dont look or act like the men in the movies. I believe it doesnt matter if your strong or not. Also i think in relationships men try to be more like the sterotype so they can show that they are strong and good at working and things the sterotype says.

Learning for the Future

Over the next century technology will start to become more and more important. Social networking sites and sites like Google will become even more necessary than they are today. The jobs that are created over the next century will require you to be able to use the new technology. Social skills that are needed today will start to become less important. People already email or text you if they need to tell you something so in the next century phone calls and talking won’t be needed. If you are able to use technology then you will be able to function successfully in the 21st century.

fahrenheit 9/11

Moore's documentary about Bush's response to 9/11 is very biased. While Moore uses some facts and evidence to make his point, about Bush's lack of responsibility and ability to be president he more often just refers to his personal opinions of Bush as a president. From the beginning of the documentary it is very clear the Moore is not a fan of Bush and wishes that he wasn’t president. While it is ok to have an opinion and make that opinion clear, you can't let your opinion get in the way of the actual facts of the event. Moore is clearly more interested in showing embarrassing clips of Bush that make him look stupid, than actually presenting the facts and showing evidence. Moore continually flashes clips of Bush that could make anyone believe that he is an inadequate president, and shows very little factual evidence that he was a bad president.  I think Moore's video is hard to believe because of the overwhelming bias that he shows against Bush. His slanted views make it hard to trust what he says.

The impact of 9/11 on our culture

Directly after September the response was overwhelming, people were willing to do anything to help out the cause. Right after the devastating events of September 11th occurred people were scared to say anything that might be considered offensive or un-American, but now that 10 years have passed the impact made by September 11th on our culture is barely visible. The only lasting impact is airport security and the stigma that now comes with being of Middle Eastern descent. I think for the most part pop culture has gone unchanged by September 11th, even though it was such a dramatic event that should have had more of a lasting impact.
