Being Rude

I put being rude under being bad because I think that it is very bad when some people are very rude to you, because manners cost nothing. I catch the bus to uni some days and I find it very rude when some people push infront of me when I have been waitin just as long as them if not longer. If someone has been there before me then I let them go before me because I think its fair and I have been brought up to respect people and use my manners, and i think that people should be the same to me, but sometimes that is very unlikely.

Response to Being Bad person choice.

I totally agree with this person, as some times people don't make their own choices and follow other people that they know, and I think that it should be the individuals choice to do what they want to do and it should not be known as being bad because not every one does it.

Bullying..

I believe that bullying should be under being bad, as it is a very hurtful and children and adults get bullied at work places and schools. Which can affect the children's development in school and they can feel withdrawn from making friends with other children, and not getting involved with activities and socialising with other children. thankfully I have never experince being bullied, so i can not say i know what it is like, however I have seen it happen and it isnt very nice at all.

As i was researching i found this website which is about different types of bullying in schools and this can also happen in work places too.

Reponse Lies

I agree with this blog as I would to say a lie to my friend to stop them from getting hurt, but then again I would tell my friend the truth if had to. Most of the time people lie to protect other people such as their friends and family. I agree to be honest from the start however telling a white lie if this protects the person I'm telling.

Stalking

Stalking is a type of abuse and can be done in many different ways, such as telephone harssment, following the person around, sending unwanted gifts, pursuing, watching there every move, being interested in their personal interests which u then can become obessed which is the same as stalking. Through research it is said that most people that get stalked are stalked by people they once were close to i.e a former partner or friend or someone they used to work with. nowadays many people get stalked and obessed on social network sites such as; http://www.myspace.com/ http://www.facebook.com/ and http://www.twitter.com/ these sites have made it become easier for people to get stalked and get followed by people they dont know. for example you can see what your favourite celebrity is doing at any second.

Celebrity can get stalked as well, for example their was a few stories on different celebrities being stalked and having restraining orders put against them. One was on Keria Knightley who had move countries because of being stalked by four people. http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/galleries/paula_abdul_/paula_abdul_.html

There was a story on bbc about stalking, they were saying how it is increasing an awful lot and scientists warn celebrities that they are the main triggers. in this stories it tells you some of the celebrities that have been stalked.

Binge Drinking

I like to have a drink at weekends, and most of my mates do as well. We all know that we should know our limits and not exceed over them. Most of us drink to have a good time when we are out with out friends for example when clubbing or having a meal or even drinking at home when you have had a stressful day at work and it helps to un wind. I dont think that I have a problem myslef but i would probaly be classed as a binge drinking, I have come home in some states, after I have been out with my friends, but that is all part of being a student, however never as bad as the bloke in the video thank god.

I thin it is important that people watch what they drink and how often, but most of the time because the alcohol is so cheap whe you are a student you tend to drink more and most nights because your out with mates, but when back at home dont drink so much.

Tried to upload te video but would not let me, so her is the url.

Reponse to Ameena's Blog on drugs.

I agree that taking drugs are bad and that there are many different that have a different effect or purpose, like about the doctors giving you drugs to make you better. But many teenagers try them to see what they are like, they can be pressured into them. From experience i have only tried a few drugs while i was in school and stopped taking them after i had tried them. http://miny-1.blogspot.com/

Prostitution

Everyone knows what prostitution is. There are many different progammes that have prostitution, for example Pretty Woman in this film prositiution is seen as a way of earning that gets you the thing that you want, Big shopping sprees, handsome clients, and having alot of fun while doing all of these things, but it isn't all good and the realisation of it isn't the best. As I did some research I saw that in many different countries there is alot of child prositution going on and it is being tracked down a lot more, but some children do it because they have to and are drug addicts. I watched a few videos on youtube which showed child prostitution and adult prostitution.

Through more research i found out why men use prostitutes which was in the guardian newspaper, in this article their is a man talking about a man that uses prostitues, and trying to understand why men do it. Many men are shy and are embrassed about using prostitues and that is why it is kept a secert, other reasons could be because they are married.

So as I started off this blog with that prositiution glamours in some ways, through the research I have done, I think it is different from pretty women even though it is a fantastic film and other progammes I have watched.

Drugs

Last week lecture was on about weather some drugs should be legalised. So drugs seem more accpetable than other drugsm such as people smoking weed is not as bad as people taking cocaine? personally I dont think either is acceptable because they are both iilegal and they shouldn not be taken. I only have experience off the less harsh drugs such as smoking weed, have not done anything else so I cant say I know the effects, but i have many friends that have taken these drugs in the past and most of them give the same effect after they been taken, but stronger drugs given different effects such as heiron. Many drugs can be addictive and people can get hooked on them, which I think is a bad thing and some time people can die from them, most people know about the harm drug do to them and they chose to take them. There are plenty of organisation that help people with their addiction when getting off the drugs.

Extreme Body Modifications

Today in my blog I will be looking at Extreme Body Modifications and this involves tattoo's as well as piecings. Body Modifications is when people change thier body in an extreme way, which can hurt them and bt very dangerous. Body modifiers want to change there body and will go to extreme lengths to do this, this can be through Tattoo's, Piercing, Scarification, Subincision, Castration. So people have performed dangerous and painful procedures that can not be changed once it has been done, it is often that they perform these procedures their sleves simply because they want to.

This website is a site that shows you what diffferent body mod's people have had.

Response to Jennies blog on smoking.

I agree with jennie saying that people smoke to fit in, I think that i did the same when i was in school. I think that when we are in school or socialising some where we all do something to fit in weather that is drinking, smoking or even doing drugs, I have done the same in the past.

Mastrubation Week 5

Masturbation is the primary sexual activity of mankind, in the 19th century it was seen as a disease and people should not do it, in the 20th century it is now seen as a cure. To be honest I can see why it is seen as a bad thing to do, to many people it is normall and most people in this generation do it. It is mostly aimed at men, but many women do it as well, but it does not matter how old you are or what race you are everyone does it. Some religions believe that it is harmful and should not be done, for example christains can see it as bad as wearing condom when having sex, which means that it is seen as a sin. Masturbation has earned quite a range of different nicknames but all mean the same such as 'choking the chicken' 'bash the bishop' or spanking the monkey', there are many different nicknames for both men and women that are used.

Lying with Ingerity Week 4

Last week was on lying with integrity, we was discussing weather it was possible to lie with integrity, which is it possible to lie with honesty? One of the points that was brought up was: Are men and women very different when it comes to lying? I think that men can't lie as good as women, I think that men aren't good at covering things up and women can sometimes work out when men are lying, but saying that men can lie good when it comes to somethings, such as if ther bf/gf asks them if there bum looks big in what they are wearing then they are more likely to say no, so that tehy dont hurt their feelings.

Many people lie for a reason, one of those reasons can be to protect the person feelings, if it is better to say a little white lie to cover the truth which saves the person feelings to, I think is ok, but I know that it is going to hurt the person feelings more when they find out later on when I have covered up the truth, then I would rather tell them the truth and hurt their feelings a little then hurt them more in the furture when they found out, for example Cheating, If I knew someone was cheating on my friend I would tell them, so that they could deal with it, also their feelings wouldnt be hurt more when they find out that I have lied to them to cover for the other person.

I think you can lie with honesty to protect the other person feelings only to a certain extent.

Smoking Week 2

The lecture on smoking I thought was good, how the lecture showed how the different categories of smokers and the statictical debate about smoking and who smoked more men or women? What age group has the most smokers. As a smoker my slef I find that when i first started smoking, I believe it was because everyone else smoked and I wanted to see what it was like, also a lot of my friends smoke, as I have changed my friends through the years I have still carried on smoking, also some of my family members smoke. So therefore i think that they could of had an affect of why i smoke. I also think that the reason why people dont smoke is because of health problems or cancer.

Smoking is also believed to help with stress and relax some one that is stressed. Also many people smoke socially and not all the time, this can be when they are with friends or having a drink. I have a few friends that do this, and dont smoke when they aren't socialising.

It is known that Nicotine is an addictive but pleasurable drug, and is one of the reason why people smoke today.

11th Febuary Different Types of Behaviour.

Last weeks Session, We looked at some of the different types of behaviour. I found it more interesting when these type of behaviour were put in a way that everyone can see, in everyday life progammes that people watch. Also looking at the reason's why we may do it. I think that there is always a reason on why we do certain behaviour, For example Stealing; People may steal because they may be getting a rush from it and like doing it, where as some people steal because they may need the money.

Not sure if i have done this right, comment if you can to say if i have or not. Thanks.
