Revisions
My audio slide show could be revised by shortening some of my sentences. Some sentences can be split into two sentences instead of one long run-on. I can also change one of my sentences from passive to present. My pictures are appropriate and all citations that are needed are shown.

Audio Slide Show topics
Topic 1
One topic that I believe I could do my audio slide show on is texting and driving. I think that texting and driving is a problem that all drivers or people on the road need to be addressed of. Texting and Driving has become "popular" in the last few years since texting is the new form of communication. Because people have such hectic lives they believe they can do anything at the wheel. Texting and Driving is a huge distraction and puts you at a much higher risk of being involved in a serious accident. Texting and Driving is not only puts the "texter's" lives in danger but also any one else's on the road . Although some states have made texting and driving illegal it has not stopped the thousands of accidents and deaths that occur each year. Texting and Driving is said to be just as bad or worse than driving under the influence. It is said that you should add 4 feet if driving under the influence between what you normally do behind the car while 70 feet between you and the car in front of you if texting. Texting can wait and we should not put the lives of others or our own in danger.
Topic 2
Another topic that I could do my audio slide show on is cyber bullying. Bullying is seen in every elementary, middle, and high school across the United States. Most students believe bullying no longer exists. However they do not realize that a new form of bullying has arised called cyber bulling. Cyber bullying is when someone harasses, threatens, humiliates or or embarrasses another person across the Internet. Teenagers cyber bully due to frustration or anger with another person. They can do this by posting a mean status about someone or uploading embarrassing pictures or spreading rumors across the Internet. Facebook and Twitter see cyber bullying commonly through young people. Although bullying used to cause physical pain cyber bullying causes more emotional pain. There have been cases of young people committing suicide or causing physical pain to their bodies because of cyber bullying. We all need to take a stand and stop cyber bullying and have more parents and teens become of aware of what they are doing.

Summary: This is a study that was conducted to show how young woman view "woman empowerment"
is viewed on reality TV shows such as The Girls Next Door
Assess: The source is objective because it is a study on what young girls/woman believe reality shows such as The Girls Next Door are doing to the future of young girls.
Reflect: The source fits perfectly into my paper except for the fact that the example of television shows they use is out of date. The information about how teenage girls are viewing reality tv is the same though and is most likely increasing.

Summary: The article talks about one of the shows that I will use in my paper: Real Housewives.

Reflect: The study will help me with my paper because it breaks down the two genders and will give me data to use.

Indicate questions to be answered:
Key Question: What impact does reality TV have on the lives of teenage girls?
Sub Question: What statistical results have been found about how teenage girls believe reality TV is influencing them? Why do we idolize these reality stars? How does this affect school or home environment?

Posted on: October 18, 2011
Date accessed: June 26, 2012
Source 1:
Summary: The article is about a recent study that the Girl Scout Organization released about the effects of reality TV on young girls. The article shows percents on what teenage girls or their parents believe is happening in the mind of a teenage girl while watching shows like Jersey Shore. This is a web based source.
Assess: The source is useful for the statistics that it gives on what what teenage girls believe is happening. It also shows how they feel about their self esteem or what their goals and achievements are in life. The source is objective because it is all statistics and not as much opinion.
Reflect: I might use this article because it has informing statistics on what girls think about reality TV. The source was helpful in showing me how girls react to reality TV and how it effects their lives.
Source 2:
Summary: The article is also about the recent study on how reality TV affects teenage and young girls. The article shows statistics and contrasts reality TV and other shows that should bring girl's self esteem up. This is a web based article.
Assess: The source is useful however it is very similar to the article above. It has just about the same statistics even though it contrasts reality TV and educational shows. The information is reliable because it gives good sources and quotes people.
Reflect: I do not believe I will use this article because the information is repeated from my other sources.
Source 3:
Summary: The last article talks about how girls view self-image when it comes to reality TV. It also says how some girls feel that reality TV can be viewed as a learning tool and that it is all not "reality". This was also a web source.
Assess: The article could be useful because it shows statistics and how girls view reality TV. The source is objective and not biased because it talks about how most girls view reality TV and not a small percentage. The information is reliable because it is from TIME magazine.
Reflect: I may use this article to show statistics and also how girls view self-image. I also might use this article to give examples of popular reality TV.

Just be nice
Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me I believe is a false statement. How we approach a conversation and how we say something can hurt a person's feelings. This passage made me think about how different our manners, word choices, and conversations are today than they were decades ago. People now say whatever they feel and whatever is one their mind but do not think about how another person may react to their statements. In arguments people barely listen to the other side of the argument and automatically assume they are right. I do believe we all have the right to free speech but some things we should really keep to ourselves. Manners, word choice and are tones today affect our conversations not only with our friends and family but how we will one day speak with our boss. As the saying goes, if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all.
