Broadcasting a World of Whiteness

The article Broadcasting a World of Whiteness was written by Jon Caramanica. This article was published in The New York Times. The article is about people and their opinions on if there is to many white actors in the entertainment industry. The talks abut how there are not many races on some television shows. One of the shows that the article talks about is Girls. Many people thinks that the show should have a lot more diverse cast but others think that the show is very good show that has a lot of hits. I think if the director of a show does not want to hire a person they don't have to. If they are not hiring people because of their race then there will be a problem. If the director wants to go where the money was going to be at and where he will get the most views he has the power to do so.

Gun Fashion

In our journalism class Mr. Petro gave us an article about clothes stores making clothes to conceal guns or other weapons. I think that it is a good and bad idea that they are doing that. It is a good idea because people will less likely get robbed because they robber will not know if they are carrying a weapon or not.If  the robber does not know that the person has a weapon they will put themselves in a higher risk of getting injured. Another reason it is a good idea is because a person will always have self defense at all times and they will help decrease the crime rate. It is a bad idea when more and more people figure out that there are clothes that hide you guns it will influence them to buy a gun just because they can have one without being caught. In the U.S. there are about 30 states that allow people to conceal there weapons with a permit. That is a big change because in the 1980s only eight states allowed people to conceal there weapon with a permit. I think many clothing manufacturers will be creating clothes for guns because they might think that a lot of people will buy their cloths if they can hide their guns. I think that all Americans should be allowed to carry gun for self defense. If Americans did not carry guns then more crimes will start up because the people that carry guns illegally will keep attacking others without guns and they will not be able to do anything.
