Nasty Comedians

What is a bad comedian? The answer from me would be a person who makes light of a subject that re-enforces stereotypes on particular members of the community. This could be racial, social, cultural, or religious or a combination of them all. Everyone makes jokes in one form or another. How they are told and in what context has an effect how the joke or funny story is received.

Comedians that use a racial basis for there jokes are often seen as highly offensive, and it is this type of comedian that has received the most criticism over recent years. Bernard Manning, Jim Davidson, and Roy Chubby Brown are at the forefront in this type of stand up comedy.
As a person who is deemed an ethnic minority, I personally find many of their jokes extremely offensive. What I find most offensive about racist comedians, is their willingness to re-enforce stereo types that are inflamortary and not true.

hey i found this information useful and i totally agree with you the link was very useful.

Tatoos and Body modification

This lecture for me wasn't good becuse i find body modification really creepy some people really do disgustine things however tatoots is popular you see celebrities have tatoots for example David Beckham the reason people get them done is to look good sometimes people go over the top. Tattoos are a very old form of body art and have been practiced from a very long time in civilized human history. The history of tattoos is very ancient and seems to be of thousands of years old and even before the birth of Christ. The recorded indication of tattoos comes from the ancient Egypt where wall paintings as old as 2000 BC have been suggesting the use of tattoos in the ancient Egyptian society.

i don't really get why people go through tatooting it just disgustine i know a person who tatoo his life partner name and today they are not togthere so there no point, the picture i have shown it just looks very disgusting it also looks horrible.

Body modificaton is also done too look different that can contain surgery or desgining your body also anorexica is seen as body modification because it is changing the way you look. in islam it is not allowed because the body is desgined by God. its become more common and acceptable in soceity.

infidelity

I consider this as very very bad behaviour. infidelity can mean allot of things like cheating on your wife in a marriage, it can also mean having an affair, being unfaithful, playing around etc etc. you see celebrity who cheat in marriages like Ashley Cole. i think that people who commit infidelity don't think that they will get caught! but the main reason is why do people commit infidelity, well i do have some reason in mind:

. a person might be bored of their relationship

. jealousy

. lost interest

. want to have fun

there could be so many reasons

so may things can be counted as infidelity, when looked at the presentation it got me thinking! i believe that a person who cheats or has an affair can be trusted but is it same for women who sleep around??

infidelity can be a form of lying for example, a guy might have a girlfriend and says to her that she is the one etc but than he say to another girl the same thing! it does cause a form of lying. Also if a person is married an has an affair that is worse, because marriage is about being faithful etc deceiving in a marriage is bad

why do people cheat?

The first explanation is probably the most well known: Spouses cheat because of problems in their relationship - something is missing, passion has faded, partners feel lonely, people find someone who treats them better or who appreciates them more than their current spouse, and so on. the majority of cheaters are man this is because they are unfaithful and they get bored easily and cannot control sexual desires.

i watched the video tape on sex, lies and videotape and the message that i got was that people choose whether to commit infidelity and this is due to reason to why they are doing it like problems in relationship, marriage not working, both couples want different things etc

Annette Lawson is saying that most majority of women have their way around in marriages and get what they really want like adultery can give women power!

this can agreed and be disagreed, yes it can give women control but some women don't have the courage to be so strong if they found out that their husband's been having affair might just get week

i believe that mostly women can be affected by infidelity and children if it is a marriage. it is mostly women who are affected when men be unfaithful and cheat in some cases women and men can be forced to marry and that could be reason to why they commit infidelity

well infidelity is seen as bad behaviour also as an betrayal . in conclusion it is bad to cheat or have an affair and it shouldn't be happening!

read this article it has some interesting stuff :

i believe that shoplifting is very bad no one has the right to steal from each other and your right most parents teach their kids that shoplifting is wrong. it does cause more problems by stealing nothing is solved once you start to steal it will become a habit. obviously people will get caught!

hey! i have read your information the information is good. well i agree everyone lies for their own benefits. Like politicians think they win when telling lies at the end of the day you do get caught. i totally agree were you coming from

Bandits and outlaws

I like watching Robbin Hood, well i dont believe its ok to steal even if you are poor.Social bandit or social crime is a term invented by the historian Eric Hobsbawm in his 1965 classic study of popular forms of resistance, Primitive Rebels. He further expanded the field in the 1969 study, Bandits. Social banditry is a widespread phenomenon known in many societies and some argue that it still exists in remote areas and on high seas (pirates). Later social scientists have also discussed the term's applicability to more modern forms of crime, like street crime and the drug economy. i have found an article which was interesting:

http://www.ncsu.edu/acontracorriente/spring_04/Slatta.pdf

Jesses James was a gang leader a robber, train murder, bad guys can be seen as good like Robin Hood he helps the poor people which i believe is good but he does it by stealing.sometimes people live out of the law because the law system inst fair.

Response to Waqar Hussain blog on lying

its true that religion says that lying is wrong! there are many reasons to why people lie at the end of the once you start lying than you get a habit of lying than it becomes hard to stop it. to me lying is bad but not really really bad. i looked at the link and it was interesting!!

Response to Emily Hawkins's blog on over-indulgence

well some people might think eating too less or over eating can be bad especially a religious person may think that because they believe our bodies were created by God and we shouldn't abuse them. well i always watch what i eat but people do abuse eating for example im someone gets bullied or had low esteem can turn to food as an abuse

Response to Atta's blog on drugs

i agree on the information you have provided. Using drugs is really bad but there are reasons for why people take drugs as you have mention! the link that you have provided was useful! i totally agree with your information

Using DRUGS are really bad can because you so much problems for example drugs like weed, cannabis etc are so expensive. Everyone takes drugs. Doctors give you drugs for pain relief! but why do people take drugs? Maybe it feels good and cool! Using drugs can really mess you up from the inside and outside! Just look at the picture of the lady she looks messed up!

There are many reasons why people use drugs:

To avoid feeling bored -

some may think that drug taking is daring and exciting.

Peer pressure, to join in with others and belong to a ‘special’ group.

To feel more self confident. As an escape from problems at home and school, or as an escape from outside pressures. To relax and ‘feel good’
Drugs like painkillers and sleeping pills can be addictive people might take them but they dont really need them! i believe one you take them you start to rely on them until drugs will be the answer to everything. there are two links that i have found that are very useful:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/joepublic/2009/jun/04/drugs-do-workhttp://blog.dave.org.uk/2009/11/good-drugs-vs-bad-drugs.html

so many people can die from drugs there are nearly cases every day . Drugs like ecstasy kill people take them to be high by looking at the girl who died from ecstasy in the presentation.
i would just say stay away from DRUGS! They are no good

Masturbation

Well i dont know what to say about this topic. In presentation we looked at the term of masturbation which i could say was interesting the word itself has quite a lot of meanings. then we looked at the history, for example in the ancient world, depictions of male masturbation are relatively common. The Egyptians, for example celebrated masturbation as the process by which the sun god, Atum, created the first Adam. This link would be useful to look athttp://www.afraidtoask.com/masturbate/History.htm. By looking at the survey its mostly women and teenagers who are interested. looking at the first masturbated was between the ages 0-9 which was 18%. 40% would less masturbate in a relationship the survey showed various of results. well really dont know at to say by doing research shows that it can be healthy for both males and females and mostly done by teenagers at a young age.

Response to Aruge blog on lying

hey aruge! the information you have provided its really good its true as you grow up you are told that lying is wrong but people lie for different reason.some people lie for good reason and others just like lying i guess

telling lies

By watching the video on The science of lying was very interesting. there are many reasons for why people lie about different things. I used to think that people tell lies to feel good about themselves. To tell you the truth i don't know why people tell lies. I think that the worse feeling is when someone is lying to you or you are guilty of doing something wrong and on top your telling lies to save yourself. All i can say that there can be many reasons for why people tell lies its a lot to think about.

response to Hafza blog

good information link was useful

telling lies

This presentation was interesting it contain a lot of views on telling lies. i think that telling lies is not a good think because when one person starts to tell lies they could become a compulsive liar. i believe sometimes you need to tell a lie if it is to protect someone a world could become a better place if everyone told the truth. I found this article interesting so have a go at reading it

response to Tracy's blog

hey Tracy

i haven't smoked in my life but i believe that smoking is a bad thing it can cause you many problems in life.

bad behaviour

this presentation got me thinking about bad behaviour. i think that shoplifting is bas behaviour its not good to steal people even shoplift when they have money. its up to the person to decide whether to be bad or not you have the free will to decide whether to be bad. young people can be influenced to be bad by games, celebrities, bad films etc. some people could be bad because its fun they want to impress people. there are many reasons for why people want to be bad. in my opinion i think that prostitution is being bad but other people may not see it as being bad i is not socially respectable. there could be many causes of bad behaviour like:

Family or lack of family upbringing. Dysfunctional families. Peer pressure. Lack of respect for elders and those in authority. Lack of respect from those in authority towards the students. There are many factors that are against the youth of today. Many are looked down upon and told that they are no good and will never belong. When this happens, there are others that will come alongside and give them a place to belong. Gangs are filled with youth that need to belong because either their family has not given them any attention or there is no authority figure that cares enough to show them love and a sense of belonging.

i found an article which my interest people so read it

smoking

by looking at the prsentation on smoking i have understood why some people choose to smoke because it makes them look cool . indviduals have the freedom to choose to smoke mostly people smoke for enjoyment. smoking has its risk to by smoking you can inherted alot of disease or cancer at the end of the day it is up to the person smoking can kill you

smoking kills

people know that smoking kills but still smoke which can cause a lot of diseases like cancer and it is bad for your health

in week 12 i think we should have a debate on a topic and see what opinions people come up with.
