The article The New Paparazzi, by Emma Teitel, publishes her concerns to the public, disgusting the newer generation taking pictures of others and posting them on the Internet.
Social media has become a popular asset to teenagers such as Facebook and Instagram etc. Most teenagers are always connected to social media and have access to the Internet on their smart phones. Most teenagers are being looked at on a different prospective because of captured pictures from attending parties, later on being posted on social media."Digital cameras have become a house-party staple".        
These party pictures brought a concern to managers. While interviewing they search names of the teenager for any inappropriate behaviour in the past or just recently.
Most of the pictures come from teenage girls.
"Posting picture on Facebook without his or her permission is, in this day and age, obviously unfriendly".
Most pictures are being posted on the Internet without them even finding out.
"Facebook most attractive purpose is in true tabloid fashion to anonymously invade the privacy of people you don't really know." The real purpose of being able to access others tabloid is to write on their wall(pictures or videos they shared in the past or recent), if you set your privacy settings correctly only friends be able to access your tabloid.
I do agree with the article on a lot of the points, when I go to parties, I don't often see teenagers taking pictures of others and posting them on social media especially without their permission. Some parties some teenagers take pictures with others which is now called a selfie.
social media has become a popular entertaining area for teenager and should be a concern to aduld to watch what teenager are sharing and posting on the Internet.

Bowling for Columbine

 

     

 
U.S.A citizens hold fire arms for their own protection but actually are doing the opposite. Americans are harming each other because they're built on fear, from watching their daily television about gun killings and violence.

 This documentary is presented by Michael Moore that is bias and has humor, spreading his concerns on gun laws and violence. Michael Moore made this documentary so people realize that U.S.A gun laws are the problem, U.S.A has the most gun killing rate than any other country, other countries such as Canada has a gun policy. Canada doesn’t allow M16s to be held in houses for protection because they’re illegal. Canada is a place known for hunting animals, some people in Canada carry up to eight guns is their house but still don’t here gun killings in Canada. Canadians aren’t built on fear from their own government because there are no reason to scary your own citizens, enough to make them go on a rampage.

Michael Moore described the unforgettable moment of an event that occurred at Columbine school known as the Columbine Massacre, victim’s parents, and the injured break in tears after they’re reminded of the shooting at Columbine school.                                                               

Two students from Columbine school walked in guns blazing, throwing pipe bombs toward the innocent, killing 15 students and one teacher, and injuring 21people. After they finished their rampage both Eric Harris and Dylan Kiebold committed suicide shortly after they were caught on camera in the cafeteria.

Michael Moore interviewed two students from the attack of Columbine school, one of the students had bullet pieces stuck in his back and the other was paralyzed from the shooting. The bullets were bought at a K-Mart. Michael Moore walked through K-Mart trying to get answers to stop K-Mart from selling fire arm product. Speaking face to face with employees and managers of K-Mart wasn’t doing the trick. Michael Moore the student brought social media along to solve the problem.

Slam poetry
 
Slam poetry is back my fellow citizens and its as
powerful and personal as ever before.
There's different types of slam poetry, that you can relate to life and experiences. 
Poetry is so powerful it will send chills down your spine. 
"Don't let the words of poetry scare you", be who you are and say what you feel because it takes lots of courage to get on that stage and give a slamming performance. 
Have a imagination that explodes into words just ready for people to hear what you have to say.
"Make words your friends" just for one moment that may just change your life.
All it takes is just imagination and emotion to make something to slam on stage.
Not all poetry has rhyme
Not all poetry has the meaning of happiness
Not all poverty has death and darkness
I am not saying it cant have those techniques and meanings
I am just saying use your imagination to create poetry.
Poetry is defined as a genre of literature to express your feelings and emotions.

Shayne Koyczan has poetry that would blow your mind. He has all sorts of poetry that may interest you. The ultimate gift of poetry. Shane was born in Yellowknife Northwest Territories,grew up in Penticton British Columbia. The reason his poetry is so interesting and powerful, he has many varieties of techniques such as, imagery, similes, repetition and analogies. His performance gives a emotional appeal that well make you want more.

The travel to hell

          I woke up to a slow mellow sound of Pink Floyd in my ears, jolting to the memory this exam in the morning. The thought in my mind was chilling, it gave me goose bumps. My conscious kept reminding me of my exam which made my confidence close in on me as I was walking through the cold winter morning with a peek of sun rising over the mountain in the distance. Once I was seated in my bus I started to look around seeing paranoid faces of my fellow friends some of them even looked white as a ghost. As I got closer to my school it was like I was getting closer to hell. The thought made my body tense up. The time was painful. When twenty minutes went by it felt like an hour and a half. Everything was in slow motion as I walked through the front doors of my school; I can feel my body heating up. The only motivation I have was the thought of summer; it is almost here I can feel it. I have only five more minutes to go. I was pacing back and forth, almost bumping into a friend of mine that looked like he was in the same position as me but the only difference was he came more prepared than I had. He held his pen and pencil ready to go, text books handed in, and more important than anything he actually studied for this exam unlike me. I was winging it thinking I know everything, which wasn't true. The time was getting close when they announced "everybody can wait in front of the gymnasium doors make sure you hand in all your text books”. They were about to open the doors for everyone I could feel the panic in the air, the desperation to cram as much information as I could in the last second. They directed us to a line. I felt like a prisoner; all that was missing were the chains dragging on our feet. I have traveled to hell and back.
