Freedom of expression allows us to express our feelings in any way possible. Anyone is able to express why they're sad or happy in any type of media or give their opinion. There are always people that are going to say what they think about your opinion and sometimes end up in arguments. We can say whatever we want unless we say there's going to be a bomb threat at school then police will be called to make sure there's nothing and the person who said about the bomb threat would probably be suspended or expelled or be confiscated for anymore threats around the area. There's a certain point where some of these expressions are not allowed
Measure 88 is a bill that would give undocumented people driver licenses in Oregon. The undocumented people would have to provide proof of residence in Oregon for more than one year and provide proof of identity and date of birth. If they were to get driver licenses, it wouldn't allow them to use it as identification for air travel, citizenship, and registration to vote. Once it was coming close to November 4, 2014, people around Oregon began to discriminate undocumented humans in Oregon through social media. I read several comments on Facebook about Measure 88 and it just lit me up and I couldn't really do much about it because it's freedom of speech and expression. There was a big chunk of racist comments saying "Go back to Mexico! You stupid s#*%k!" words like that are really hurtful and nobody can't do anything about it. The First Amendment gives a lot of protection towards nice or harmful words. People were discriminating each other like usually but this time it was worse because it was November 4, 2014 and it was a big day for undocumented immigrants to find out they were going to get driver licenses or not. By mid-day everyone in Oregon had heard the news and it was devastating for the undocumented human beings. This meant they weren't getting driver licenses and to continue their daily lives driving to work and taking their kids to school without their driver license and insurance.
RiP! A Remix Manifesto was a good documentary and it makes me upset that nowadays people try to have full custody of a song, movie, or book. So if someone tries to copy a little piece of it then they charge quadruple the money and rip the other person off really bad because they own that particular item. I find the Mickey mouse character absurd, after watching the documentary, Disney copied and pasted the mouse character from steamboat willie. It's ridiculous that now we have to ask permission for everything we want to do. Later on were going have to ask permission to breathe and nobody wants that to happen. When humanity first came to this world, were we charged to come into this world? No....then why we shouldn't charge for every little thing.
In the documentary it explains in some scenes that they cannot play the mash up of Girltalk because of copyright policies, so instead they play a soft sound instrument in the background. Recently, R&B artist Akon said that he will release his future music albums through his own app called "Stadium" which Akon is about to release his first albums in seven years. The downside of that for other people that occasionally listen to Akon is that they won't be ale to listen to his new album through Spotify or Pandora and it won't be in store either.
Topic #2.
Awesome post! I'm not a huge fan of the show but if there's nothing else to watch, I'll watch South park. One of my roommates was watching this on Hulu and I sat down and watched it with him. It was funny
when the mayor had to make all of the yelpers feel special because of the gold badge and revenue from the business people was pretty nasty but well deserved.
South Park has always been a great shows from what I've heard and the episodes I've seen are funny and entertaining. I never knew that every episode was based on past live events and converts the events into comedy and acknowledging that the world around us can be cruel.
You might want to consider watching the new episode of South Park today as of Oct, 30, 2015. Read this as well
