No More Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus would be better out of this world in my opinion. This is based on the fact that she has influenced so many young girls, and not just middle school girls, but very young girls in the age range younger than 5 to dress and talk in ways they shouldn't necessarily be at that age. She dresses in a fashion that strips the young girls of today from their innocence. There are five year olds that I see walking around the store wearing such as high heels that they can barely get around. They are carrying purses and even cell phones around because they saw Miley or "Hannah" do it on TV. The dresses and shirts they wear are revealing parts of their bodies that shouldn't be seen in public such as short skirts and fish net leggings. I know that dressing is a a personal opinion and expression but at that age dressing like that? There are still lines that exist at that age and Miley Cyrus has erased them all. She portrays a bad example to young girls because she didn't even finish school and instead dropped out to pursue her singing career and "acting" career. There are may singers out there who are drop outs but the difference is that the majority of Miley Cyrus's fans have only begun school and now their biggest role model is influencing them to skip school and pursue something else! I feel like Miley Cyrus is one big fake image that little girls need to stay away from.

If Miley Cyrus was gone from this planet, I know that there would be a huge population of little girls that would be dressed more appropriately and acting their age. The five and six year old girls would be playing with dolls and not worrying about cell phones and if their skirt makes them look weird. They wouldn't be associating with boys already and would be out having fun. Parents wouldn't be spending thousands of dollars to go to a ridiculous concert. Little girls can finally choose who they want to be and not the girl on the television screen. Children can learn to develop their own being and not be another "Disney reality star" that acts so fake.

Overall, I believe that children need to find themselves and Disney needs to stop putting up all these reality shows that portrays a person as how a typical girl/boy should be. As an older person, I know what not to follow because I have grown through experiences but these children aren't even being given that opportunity since all they can learn from is what's on the TV and be someone fake like Miley Cyrus.

Possible Research Topics

1.) Abortion

This topic is probably much more meaningful to me since I am a girl but it could be equally important to a guy as well. I do not agree with some people today saying that a woman cannot have full right in deciding whether she wants to keep her baby or not. It should always and fully be the woman who is bearing the child to say if she wants to keep it or not. It is ironic how most people on the side of pro-life are men or women who have never been raped or sexually assaulted resulting in a unplanned child. I am fairly confident that if they were in that situation, they would be fully on the side of pro-choice.

2.) War in Iraq

This is a very sensitive topic and I only choose it because I feel that it needs to end. The war has been going on for much longer than it needs to be and what has it accomplished? Let's review, the U.S. economy has pit fallen to a point where the U.S. dollar is now worth less than the Canadian dollar, hundreds if not thousands of families have lost their children who are serving in the war, the U.S. is in such a debt that we probably won't be able to ever pay back, and just to add to the topping the Al Qaeda are still out there causing havoc everyday. Have we really solved anything? I do not think so.

3.) Incorporating Language in U.S. schools

I know that immigration is higher than ever in the U.S. these days, but I feel that it should not mean that we have to shape the country to fit them. My parents were immigrants and came to the U.S. in the 80's, yet they had to find it in their own determination and hard work to fit in the economy. Nowadays, with so many translations and benefits, immigrants don't even have to lift a finger. It really upsets me that there are language translations in public school textbooks. If you come to America, you should learn to read and write English.

4.) Texting while driving

Now my opinion may be a bit controversial to most people my age probably because I don't drive or text that much. But, even so, I still don't believe that people should be allowed to text and drive at the same time. Is there really that much to say to a friend in the span of driving to the grocery store? Is it really worth taking your eyes off the road and endangering hundreds of other lives just to tell somebody that joke you heard earlier that day? Why can't people wait until they are out of the car and out of harm's way to text? I don't agree at all why people should be able to text in the car while driving.

Say NO to gun company CORRUPTION!

Capitalism is a great opportunity that the U.S. offers for its citizens. Free enterprise, control of your business, and your company is open to the free market. Nowadays though, money has clouded the judgement of too many CEO's of those companies. They are abusing the system that the U.S. created for the benefit of the whole public.

Now those CEO's are narrowing that "whole" public to their own little circle so that they are the only ones that can control the market.

I hope that the outcome of the trial is that the gun company pays for what they helped contribute to.

The judicial system of America needs to stand up against these power-hungry and greedy owners. These irresponsible owners need to get a wake up call and realize that they alone cannot control what happens. Now, I do not believe entirely that they are responsible for the death of those people, I am against how the gun companies are manipulating the way the trial is being taken. Those sort of actions of making the judging environment go towards a certain side is wrong. Trials that are being judged need to be created to be as fair as possible.

So, I want the outcome for the gun company to lose.
