Read this small newspaper clipping and then write a blog post about it. What are your thoughts? How does it make you feel? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself.

My thoughts about this newspaper clipping is that this guy is wrong. This article makes me feel confused about why this guy thinks this. I disagree with John Tapene because teenagers are supposed to have fun and do what they want. If you do what John Tapene is telling you to do then you arent going to follow your dreams and your not going to try as hard because its not something you want to do.

What is a Public Service Announcement? If you don't know what it is, Google it. In your own words, now tell me what it is? What are they used for? Can you recall an example of a PSA you've seen before?

A Public Service Announcement is a message to the public that do not cost money. They are used to raise awareness and change public attitude toward a social issue. An example of a PSA I have seen is drug awareness commercials on TV, this commercial would state how bad drugs are for you and they would sorta of over exaggerate how bad they are for you. Also I see a lot of texting and driving commercials that inform you on how dangerous it can be.

After watching the short clip of Ashton Kutcher's acceptance speech what did you take away from his advice? What does this quote mean to you -"Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you, and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use."

In this speech, Ashton Kutcher talks about how we can change the world by mentioning three things everyone should do, which is, opportunity, be sexy, and to build your world. He said you need to take opportunities, it could be a job or anything, and you need to work hard at that opportunity, no matter what it is. When Ashton Kutcher talked about being sexy he didn't mean by looks he meant by being smart, thoughtful, and generous. If you are smart, thoughtful and generous towards other people, and generous you are sexy, he mentioned how everything else doesn't matter. The last thing he talked about was to make your build your world and not to live it, which means you need to do what you want to do and not what everyone tells you you need to be. By doing these three things you can change the world.
