Keith, S. (2004, Fall). Cyber-Bullying: Creating a Culture of Respect in a Cyber World. Retrieved April 25, 2016, from http://www.crisisprevention.com/Resources/Knowledge-Base/School-Bullying-Resources-and-References/Cyber-Bullying-Creating-a-Culture-of-Respect-in-a

In this article I found out some information on cyber bullying. There were a lot of statistics on how children react to different situations regarding cyber bullying.  It shows how many children use the Internet at such young ages. One statistic says that 91% of kids from the ages of 12-15 use the Internet. There were also statistics of people saying that other kids were saying mean things to them and that it happened pretty often. Then they were talking about how children would get into trouble with situations involving a cell phone.

I will use this article to support my argument in my essay because it goes hand in hand with my topic. There are a lot of children who don’t get their parents involved in their problems at home and that is stated in this essay, so the statistics will make my argument stronger.  It also fit right into my essay because of the parent aspect. They said that the parents didn’t think that it was common and they thought that their children would never be apart of that. But, their child would be the ones that had a problem.

Model Cheryl Tiegs calls plus-size SI swimsuit cover 'unhealthy'

http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/26/living/si-cheryl-tiegs-ashley-graham-unhealthy-feat/

 Cheryl Tiegs has had a big opinion on plus size fashion. She thinks fashion’s increasing acceptance of full-figured women sends a bad message, a clear reference to plus-size model Ashley Graham’s appearance on one of three 2016 SI Swimsuit Issue covers. In the article she quotes, “ I don’t like that we’re talking about full-figured women, because it’s glamorizing them, because your waist should be smaller than 35 (inches).” Regardless of Tiegs comments, Ashley didn’t slow down. She sees women who are plus sized as just curvy women who look beautiful. 

I think this source was helpful because it helped me give a specific example in my papers to support my topic. It shows that even women tear down their own because something is not “normal” in society. Ashley Graham started modeling at the age of 16 and she sees women who are a little bit curvier than normal beautiful. This article showed that while we try to compliment something about a person through certain attributes, we still have the common idea that women should look a certain way in as far as appearance. 

[taylorphy-blog]

Here is another example that will really help in your final essay. It is an awesome thing that people can see a heavier woman as beautiful, instead of comparing her to a skinny model. There are too many people in the world who are comparing themselves to an underweight model.

The effects of advertisements that sexually objectify women on state body dissatisfaction and judgments of women: The moderating roles of gender and internalization

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1740144515000960

Studies have shown that exposure to idealized images of women increases state body image disturbance. When men and women are subject to objectification, which means it is an interpersonal phenomenon that occurs when a person is seen or treated as a body or collection of body parts for use or consumption by others. So when men and women evaluate their bodies, especially from others perspective; it sets up the tone in which they think that there is “something not right” about them. Our ideal thoughts about men and women come about from a Western typed idea that we want to have the thought to see people how we want to see them. 

I feel like this would also be a credible source, because this journal article goes into depth of where these concepts come from and how these Western views came about. It also gave specific examples of how these ideas existed in different areas of the world. The only thing I did not like was that it did not give too much information on a mans’ point of view in regards to dissatisfaction of the body. 

[taylorphy-blog]

I think that this article will help you out on your final paper because it explains about how we see people how we want to see people. There are a lot of people who think that they don't have a nice body just because they are comparing it to someone who looks “skinnier” or “prettier.” It has gotten to a point where there are young people doing this now. This article will support your argument for your final paper.

Annotation #7

     The article that I found online explains the way that GPS-enabled cell phones are used to track the travel patterns of adolescents. It says how it is ideal for parents to be able to track their children for safety reasons or for other things. The article says that they gave 15 women a cell phone to carry around for a week and they found out that the tracking systems are very accurate and they are a reliable way to track people. The researchers recorded that there was minimum to no technical difficulties in the study.

     I can use this in my final essay to support my argument because of how the GPS is so accurate. The study showed that the accuracy is on point for showing the location. It would be a good idea for a child to have a cell phone specifically for the parent to track where they are, but not any further. If the child is online talking to people and that person somehow gets their location, it is a dangerous situation. Many different things are able to happen when a child has the ability to send their location to a person with the touch of a button.

Investigating How MTV’s “16 and Pregnant” May Be Used as Media Literacy Education with High-Risk Adolescents

Reality TV shows featuring teen pregnancy may be used as media literacy tools to positively affect youth sexual outcomes. However, there were some concerns about having such programs exist may glamorize teen pregnancy. The present study examines how viewing and discussing episodes of “16 and Pregnant,” may impact adolescents at high risk for teen pregnancy. The adolescents who watched indicated that they enjoyed the program and saw it as realistic but did not think the lives of the characters were desirable. The results conclude that reality tv shows that focus on the potential outcomes of sexual behavior may be a useful way to engage adolescents in conversations about sexual health.

This particular article will be useful for me in my paper because I am arguing that 16 and Pregnant is in fact a way to put the message out there that “this is what can be your life if you are not careful enough and take the necessary precautions.”

[taylorphy-blog]

This is a great example that will support your topic. In todays world, there are a ton of teens that are expecting, and some of the people think that it’s totally ok to have a child at a young age. But the show 16 and pregnant is an enjoyable show, and as you recapped, and the teens that are watching it, aren't thinking that the lifestyle that they are in is ideal or anything. So, i agree with your position and I think that this will help with your final paper!

QueenLatifahVevo. (2009, Oct 7). Queen Latifah- U.N.I.T.Y. [Video File]. Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8cHxydDb7o

There are positive images in hip hop one example is Queen Latifah. A true pioneer for females in hip hop and a positive example for young women. She produced this song “U.N.I.T.Y” which lyris express a positive message to all women around the world.

I think that this a great cultural artifact to use in my final paper because she talks about how the women in hip hop industry need to demand their respect from their male counterparts, the men need to know when they use derogatory words about women they are talking about their mothers, sisters and wives. Women will no longer tolerate it and men should not make excuses for their dysfunctional actions.

[taylorphy-blog]

I totally agree with your statement on how Queen Latifah exemplifies positive images in hip hop. Especially this song which is a good example that will make your argument stronger. It will support your position and show that women shouldn't take the negative words that are thrown at them.

      In the article “Risks and safety for children on the internet,” there is a study done on children in the United Kingdom where they find out what children of different ages are doing on their social medias and phones. There are charts showing percentages of what children are doing on their phones and how they handle things. It shows that in the range of 9-12 year olds, about 48% of boys and 45% of girls have visited a social networking profile and 19% of boys and 19% of girls have posted a message on a website. There are many other statistics on the website but the one that stuck out to me was the chart on children who have a profile on a social networking site. It says that 28% of 9-10 year olds have one and 59% of 11-12 year olds have a profile.

      I will be able to use this article in my paper because it has many statistics of specifically children and their use in the Internet. It has a lot of things that intertwine with my essay and that will support it. For example, it has the statistic of online and offline communications and a chart of children’s use of privacy settings on their social networking profiles.

Jenny McCarthy Interview

FRONTLINE. (2015, March 23). Retrieved March 17, 2016, from http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/jenny-mccarthy-were-not-an-anti-vaccine-movement-were-pro-safe-vaccine/ 

This article that was published last year gave interesting insight and history to Jenny McCarthy’s strong opinion regarding childhood vaccines. In the article, she claims that she is not anti-vaccination, but pro- safe vaccination. What she means by that is that there are too many shots being given too soon. In addition to the surplus of vaccines scheduled to be given to children, she feels that parents should be able to choose which ones their child receives. When her son was diagnosed with autism she took it upon herself to research and work to find a way to help her son recover. In this article she provides her timeline of the events that lead up to her son’s diagnosis. She pleads with science to study the claims that she has made regarding mercury, MMR, and aluminum. She feels that the studies are not being done. 

I can use this article in my paper because it shows various themes that parents claim when avoiding vaccinating their children. Jenny McCarthy focuses on three major reasons, and ends her interview stating that her family has history of auto-immune disorders which would lead her to not vaccine if she were to have another child. Her strong opinions, quotes, and position are good representation of parents resons to not vaccinate. 

[taylorphy-blog]

I really like this article. You will be able to use it in many different ways for your final paper. I agree with the decision of not vaccinating children for many different reasons and I agree with her reasons also. This will be a good reference to make in your paper.

Lindenbaum, J. (1999, April 8). Music Sampling and Copyright Law.

This journal gives a brief history of music sampling focusing on mainly hip- hop artist because of the culture and the need of mixing and spinning songs together. It also talks about the copyright laws and how they come into play with music sampling. This journal really narrows down on how songs are considered to be illegally sampled as well as listing examples of some rappers that has illegally used someone else’s material in their work. 

This journal will help me in my paper because it will help me explain why the  that the new generation use samples of songs in their work is considered authentic in the way the use them and the creditation that they give to those artist that the material is sampled from. It also has examples of rappers in the older generation that has used sampling illegally and it will help me strengthen my argument in favor of the newer generation technique.

[taylorphy-blog]

This seems like a great journal to help with your paper. It will help you build the argument and you will be able to use examples from all different generations, not just one. Hopefully it helps you with your paper :)

This scholarly article is a study on younger children and their perception of cyber bullying. The article states that they found results and 35% of third, fourth and fifth graders had their own cellphone, 11.4% recorded that they have received a mean or hurtful text message, and 45.6% recorded that they have been bullied in school. This shows that children have been bullied and have had the courage to tell someone about it.

I will be able to use this in my paper because it shows that children aren’t ready for cell phones at such a young age. There is no reason for a child that young to be worried about receiving an email or text message and being bullied online. The result of this study says that “students are provided with technology at young ages and receive very little guidance to protect them from cyber bullying.” This statement shows that there are many children who are receiving cell phones at young ages and the parents aren’t carefully watching what they are getting into. They don’t have the common knowledge like older children do. There are a lot of things that could go wrong, one is being cyber bullied and this study is a perfect example of it.

Savannah, G., Matt, L., & Tom, C. Astronaut Scott Kelly Returns to Earth After Nearly a Year in Space. (2016). (Accession Number: edsnhe. NBCH105719; Publication Date: 20160302; Physical Description: 1 streaming video file (2 min., 36 sec.); Imprint: New York: NBCUniversal Media, LLC., 2016). NBC Today Show.

This video gave information about astronaut Scott Kelly who went to Space for nearly year. His return was full of excitement, and was welcomed by family, friends, and second Lady of the United States, Jill Biden. Scott had nothing but great things to say about the space mission and looks forward to doing it again. After coming back home he had a lot of help moving around at first. Though he felt like he was able to move around on his own it was required because there are some health risks that come along with long space missions. Being in space for a long period of time can cause bone denseness, and muscle loss. But Scott was ok and moving around within minutes of his arrival.

His year in space helped to finalize some things that will help future astronauts complete the future goal of putting humans on Mars by the 2030’s. His mission helped to see how a person’s health can be affected in space, how severe or long it could last, how one’s physical features can change, and what needs to be done to help maintain good health. Eating healthy foods, and plenty of exercise is required to help prevent muscle loss, and bone density. However there is not much that can be done about the spine; apparently you grow at least and inch while in space. It may not seem like a lot but it made a notable difference when Scott was compared to his twin brother. Before he left for space he was shorter than him, but when he came back he was taller. Comparing the two also helped determine the possible changes that can occur, and their findings have helped them with their goal to put people on Mars.

[taylorphy-blog]

This video will defiantly help you with your final paper. Especially how it shows what Scott Kelly did and how he was effected from it. There are many ways that you will be able to tie this into your essay and elaborate on more of the information.

Kowalski, R. M. (2016). Electronic Bullying Among Middle School Students. Retrieved March 28, 2016.

This article did a study on electronically bullying in middle school students and they found that a lot of children are bullied through email or instant message or chat rooms. There are statistics here that show that out of 3767 middle schoolers, 15% of them were bullied online. They say that this is a sign of significant magnitude.

I will be able to use this in my paper because the children that are bullied online, also known as cyber bullying, are being bullied online because they have a cell phone at such a young age. If they didn’t have the cell phone, there wouldn’t be a way to be bullied through the internet.

Prince, Emmett George. (2006). Hip Hop Culture. Santa Barbra, California.

This book breaks down and organizes Hip Hop culture from its beginnings and takes a look at its influence on in the United States and around people and popular culture the world. He states that Hip Hop was the solution, the product of self-determination, self-realization, creativity, and pride. Hip Hop culture has gone through a number of transitions. I has come from local, non-profit-bearing culture international, multibillion-dollar industry that is now to a model of success. Hip hop culture not only chronicles changes but also attempts to create a frame work through Hip hop.

I think that this book will be useful to use in my final paper, because he talks about the beginning ages of hip hop culture to almost to the present day now, he also talks about many different artists from Salt-n-Pepa, Tupac Shakur, Run-DMC, NWA, the Wu-Tang Clan and many others.

Kovach, S. (2007, August). The Hidden Dangers of Cell Phone Radiation. Le Magazine.

   In this article the author speaks about how cellphones give off electromagnetic radiation that can put you at risk of developing brain tumors. The author stares “Cell Phones Reach the Market without Safety Testing.” Which means that its possible for cell phones to have some type of unsafe side to them. They also state the dangers: “Genetic damage, brain dysfunction, brain tumors, sleep disorders and headaches.”

   I can use this article on the health dangers of cellphone use in my essay because they are speaking about how it is dangerous for someone to use a cellphone all day and every day. With that being said, it is another reason on why not to give your child a cell phone. They are constantly texting different people, checking social media, or calling a friend to talk. If these kids didn’t have a cellphone at such a young age, they would reduce the risk of developing these health problems. Parents need to be more aware of these ricks that they are taking while they hand their children these deadly items.

Kim Kardashian Talks Body Image, Selfies and Superfans in San Francisco. (2015). Retrieved February 27, 2016, from http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/kim-kardashian-talks-body-image-selfies-and-superfans-in-san-francisco-20150701

This article by Rolling Stones Magazine talks about Kim Kardashian and her reaction to negative social media. She quotes “I don’t really know-and I really don’t care”. Kim talks about how she used to let social media effect her and her career. The article talks bout how Kim would spend all her time reading the negative comments and she allowed it to bring her down. The article then mentions how her husband helped her get over that insecurity and learn to ignore the negative publicity. In addition, this article talks about Kim’s self esteem issues bot current and past. Kim mentions how even growing up as a child not in the limelight, she was still stressed about her body image.

The article will contribute to my essay because it gives details and examples of the sister’s constant worry about body image.  I can use this as a source when I talk about the negative effect the sister’s obsession with body image has on their viewers. Kim opening up about her adolescent insecurities shows the young viewers that even the biggest celebrities wish they had a different image from a young age. Teenagers will think its okay to not be happy with themselves and want to take their natural beauty and enhance it into fake ‘beauty’.

[taylorphy-blog]

I think that this article will give you something to work off of in your paper. With Kim saying that she “doesn't care” about the negative comments and the things that are said about her just shows how it doesn't effect Kim, but the things that Kim does, effects the viewers, especially the younger generations. Therefore, I think that you have a great topic and great supporting articles that can be used! :)
