Stop Criticising Your Victimizing Humanity

Blog #2

The poets in the third video advocate that it is a woman's choice what she wears, how much she decides to bare, and what kind of image she wants to portray. At the same time, they point out the ways media and commercialism seeks to limit representations of women. What do you make of the tension between "an individuals choice" and the ways society (media, advertising, etc.) seem to shape or condition those choices? To what degree are our choices already limited by what is available? What about young people - or those without critical thinking skills - who are inundated (flooded) with pop culture but haven't the capacity to understand their choices? 300 words.

1.The Brave New Voices poets expressed that individualism is hard to live by because of the stereotypes shoved at us women by society. Women have expectations to show the most skin they can when dressing up for Halloween now days. The costumes have become smaller and made for hookers. Personally, when I went to the costumes stores last year I noticed that all of the costume packages covers of the models looked like they were a part of the play boy mansion. I believe that to be false advertisement because not everyone looks like the people on those covers. Even if they could look like those models on the covers why would we actually want people to be showing so much skin. I think it mainly effects the kids and the generations to come mindset. The kids would think it is right to dress skimpy. This reminds me of how I see pictures on the social network with thousands of likes of kids of the year 2000 compared to kids of today. When the kids of the year 2000
are fully dressed wearing casual jeans and a t-shirt compared to the kids of 2013 wearing tights and a bra.

 2. According to the The Brave New Voices poets in the poem “_Halloween” the spoken word artist expressed that individualism is hard to live by because of the stereotypes shoved at us women by society. This form of criticism causes people to be somewhere they’re not. Halloween has traditional been a day to celebrate the dead. Throughout years society has formed Halloween into a day where they can dress as their sluty alter ego.“This year I decided to be a school teacher, nurse, fairy, wonder woman but, when I went to buy the costume. I was like, where is the rest of it? Is b for books or boob? Was the tooth fairy a stripper? To check temperatures or raise them? Oh hell nah heels! Halloween has become a different kind of strip show.” Now on Halloween day women have expectations to show the most skin they can when dressing up. The costumes have become smaller and made for hookers. When  I went to the costumes stores last the costume packages
covers of the models looked like they were a part of the play boy mansion. I believe that to be false advertisement because not everyone looks like the people on those covers.

They can dress up as monsters or any other character that doesn’t necessarily have to show skin. Now on Halloween day, women have expectations to show the most skin they can when dressing up.

Even if they could look like those models on the covers why would we actually want people to be showing so much skin? Now a days kids are giving the impression that it is okay to have the same exact costume on as their mothers’, which is totally unacceptable. If a mother and daughter are both naughty, then whose going to be nice? I think it mainly affects the kids, and the mindset of those generations to come. The kids would think it is right to dress
skimpy. On the social networks there is a picture with thousands of likes of kids of the year 2000 compared  to kids of today. When the kids of the year 2000 are fully dressed wearing casual jeans and a t-shirt compared to the kids of 2013 wearing tights and a bra.
