 Cut off the middle man. What guns should be legal? Little kids turned into devils. Violent past.  These problems and how to fix mass shootings will never be known. I feel if you make guns illegal people are still going to find them. Drugs are illegal and people still have a way of finding them somehow. It's basically a lose lose situation. There is no winning. It is sad but I think some people go crazy and there is no way for us to know when and where these people are going to go crazy. Mass shootings are a terrible thing and I think Gun Control might not work. If you take away guns more people will want them.

Advocacy means taking a stand for an issue and bringing light to this issue. What it means to be an advocate is you are going to do whatever you can to bring light to this topic and try for change. We should be paying attention to topics like "terrorist attacks" or  senate passing laws. Big issues bring a lot of attention to them. There was a terrorist attack in Manhattan yesterday. It is issues like this that we should be trying to stop. We need to have more control on things. But, yet again we cannot really know when something like this is going to happen. 1. Terrorist Attacks 2. Education 3. Sports 4. Health 5. tuition 6. abortion 7. sexual assault 8.

   I personally really liked Kilbourne's argument. I really think woman have been portrayed as being too fat or being the only ones in the kitchen doing the work around the house. She said "What it meant to be a woman. Kilbourne clearly states that in one of the ads it said, "Feminine odor is everyone's problem."

She is saying that in order for women to be beautiful in these ads they have to be young. Then, she goes on to say that, "Men are photo shopped bigger." She is saying that in these ads men are always made bigger then what they are. While women are made smaller.

     Going through the writing process is always interesting with me. My writing is very unique. I can write a very well written paper. But, in my paper I make little errors. A lot of little errors. Seeing a tutor is always a helpful process because it helps get the big errors out of the way so that you can really get your main point a cross to the writing. Before you see a tutor, you have to brainstorm. When I brainstorm I like to write down all of my main ideas on one piece of paper. This is very helpful because it helps me see all of my main ideas.    With the writing process I learned many things about myself. First, I saw that I like to repeat my main ideas. With this I had to teach myself to restate points in a way where they are different ideas. Also, I learned that I need to be more concise when stating my points. My main thing I need to work on is rereading my papers and making sure I work on seeing those small mistakes and fixing them.   When I ...
