Man puts boy in Laundromat washing Machine

On May 11th in Camden, NJ a man, playing a trick on his son went wrong. At Federal Laundromat, a man was supposedly playing a prank on his child, putting him into a washing machine, as it was Auto-locked. Both parents tried to rush to rescue him but the door wouldn’t open. They started to panic and run for help leaving him by himself in the moving washer. They attempted multiple times to open the door but parents couldn’t get the door open to the washing machine. They both went and got a worker, and the worker cut the power of the machine off and the door still didn’t open. Seconds later, it finally opened and the young child parents check to see if he was okay, and immediately rushed home. I think it was a stupid prank that the parents did this because who would play a joke on their child, and put them in a washing machine and start it. It seems weird because the video was posted on YouTube and there were many pictures. They should of never did it in the first place because if there was no worker their who could help them, there child could of got badly injured and been in a life and death situation. I found it odd that after they got him out the washing machine, they rushed home. If it was me I would have took my child to the hospital to see if he had any injuries. That one thing they will probably never ever do again.

Being Angry Can Be a Good Thing

I don’t agree with author of this article because anyone can have an outrage and not really let it get to them. She believed what her friend said that mad her very angry and affect her perspective of life. Since this really frustrated her this got her to become an advocate and helping immigrant families now. Another reason I don’t agree with this because she let someone thought and opinion get to her; I can see if it was said on the news but it wasn’t. For example if someone said something to me that made me really upset, I wouldn’t be upset and affected by it for the rest of my life probably for a day or two. Everyone is different, this shows how people let what other people think really get to them. I think if her mom would of herd it she wouldn’t be as upset as her. When someone told me my sister was academically smarter than, me I didn’t let that upset me because that’s an opinion. I didn’t get mad at all because I’m still smart and I will be successful later on in life and I still am academically smart.

Televison Isnt as Diverse as It should Be.

Television isn’t diverse as it should be. One example is the show “Girls” that is shown on HBO. When you see the title of the Show, you don’t think there will be all white girls. The show is based on was it going on in their life. (Jemima Kirke) who is playing Jessa on the television premiere said, “I want to have children with many different men, of different races”. People noticed no different race was on the shown on the show and was critized. I think there is not as many diverse television shows because since a big percentage of America are whites people probably think other little percentages doesn’t matter and more Europeans will be watching TV than any other race. I agree that television is nowhere near diverse enough. Many shows on TV are filled with Europeans and that isn’t right. Just because most of American is whites doesn’t mean other races are not important. I think it is a from of racism that TV isn’t as diverse as it should be because it makes it seem as though people wouldn’t want other races on television but whites. Television producer have some responsibility on having a diverse cast. They may have a diverse cast for racial reasons or popularity. For example if a whole cast is only whites it’s possible that the producer(s) are racist because why not have at least one other person from a different race? Many moving that have crime drama or violence, many of the actors are African Americans and I think that is a stereotype that people think African Americans are violent. On movies with a lot of violence and cursing I noticed they are always playing that role of “being violent”.

New Fashion: Stylishly Hiding the Gun

Many different clothing companies are starting to make clothes/garments that are stylish but also have features that allow them to carry a weapon and no difficulty trying to pull it out. I think this trend will continue and more clothing manufactures will create it because since America allows people to carry guns, people may not want anyone to see their guns because they may look like a threat, so they’ll hide it. If more and more people buy it, more companies will try to create it because they will notice it is trending and popular and they can make good money off it. Americans that have license for a gun should be able to carry it because for self-protection. The crime rate in America is high and people need to defend their selves. Many people are killed or injured from weapons and people threaten their life. I don’t think this will keep everyone or most people safe because the robber could buy the clothing too and get someone when they’re least expected. Criminals can buy the clothing and look like everyone else, so if a robber robs a person it will not be expected. In addition, having a gun in your pocket can be dangerous. Plaxico Burress, the NFL player was at a club and accidently shot himself in a leg with a gun. This shows that it can be dangerous to have a gun in your pocket.
