 my social issue is child abuse, and I believe  half of the money should be donated to this social issue, because for one reason our children are our future. the children don't have a voice to speak up for them. there are thousands of children allover the world being abuse, and little is being done about it. the money should be donated to the foster shelter, and the organizations that help the children who were and are victims of these types of abuse. the money should be use to bring awareness of all types of abuse, the symptoms, and the help they can provide. they should bring awareness on how people who speak up if they see a child being abuse, can save the child life. I believe the money should go this social issue, but as well as other social issue, that as well need to be   heard of, and need as much help possible like child abuse

We all have different languages that we speak,  so many different cultures in the United States. Like Mexican, Indian, Chinese all different types of people etc. Some of us might use a lot of slang when we speak our languages, and some might speak with no slang at all. It all comes with the culture and different parts of cities that you are from, in the country you were born in. Having a different language to speak is always useful, especially when your talking about something that you don't want someone to understand. Those are things that people have to deal with on a daily basis listening to different languages spoken.

we all have different language, mainly according to where you where born and raise.in my opinion , I believe we all have our own language with its own definition. There are many words that have different meaning to different cultures. it can mean something positive to a culture while it means negative toward another culture. every culture has a unique language, which distinguishes them for example with Anzaluda, she had over heard some Cuban females using a figure a speech that they use, but with an opposite meaning. also just because they all speak Spanish doesn't mean they are all from the same background. they have different type of Spanish and its all according the where you are born, and how you are raised. I speak various of language, English Spanish, Spanglish, I feel like I speak all types of Spanish, because when ever I met someone new , they tend to misunderstand me when I speak to them in Spanish.

               In "Jamila Lyiscott: 3 ways to speak English" she talks about the challenges she goes through when she speaks English. How she speaks it depending on where she is at. whether she is at home, school or with friends or as she said "the hood." she also says "I'm here to tell you that even articulate Americans sounds foolish to the British." What I think she meant by that was that just even though the U.S's natural language is English or "perfect English," we are still considered as speaking it with an accent to other countries such as England. I believe that no one should get judged upon the way they speak a certain language, not everybody speaks perfect English. The same thing would happen to the people who speak English if they were to go to another country French, Spanish, German, Italian and so on. One shouldn't be treated as "another" because their not speaking "the right language."

Activism in the form of art 

For my social issues i found that through art it is a better way to catch my audience attention and make the re consider when they talk negative about their selfs or others , or when they harm their self to fit the medias perspective of "beauty" . I wanted to get my message across like banksy does in his art work , or how like Barbara Kruger does in her art . Barbara Kruger has some pieces of art that demostate second thoughts and make you reconsider what is really going on . Music is also a good way to get my message across I found a couple of songs , like Beyoncé's "pretty hurts" that makes you think people go through this everyday to try to conform and be like someone else other then thier selfs .

The title of my exhibition is 

What's the truth .

I wanted my exhibition to be different , I wanted to get my message out their for everyone to know this issues is a serious matter and should not be ignored or left behind other known issues . Images on the media affect people faster then bacteria. 

My first piece I want to make stamps/stickers , spray paint , markers to demonstrate my issues in popular places among people . On my stickers I want to use a chameleon , because they always tend to blend in whenever they are . With the spray paint I want to get my message across by writing messages about the issue , and use markers to write also messages on thing you would take a second look at .

My second piece is to use a scale , write comments like your too skinny , your too fat , etc with markers , stickers , paint , and smash the scale with a hammer and place the scale in a local gym , and write down people's reactions .

My third piece is to blow out a picture of a shadow and black and white image of a person who has lost their identity , and use three different mirrors , three different sizes , and show how no matter how you look at yourself or see yourself you'll never be happy until you look like someone else .

My last piece is to blow out a picture I seen on the Internet of a little girl looking a magazine cover of a model holding sissors to her stomach and post it on a busy street . 

I want to create this exhibition in the form of a video to show the public .

Blogger #4 Proposal

My Proposal

“There are first times for everything. The first time I drove a car, first time I broke my leg, first time I ate sushi, first time I went to work, first time I was fired -- and I'll never forget my first kiss. 'Firsts' are memorable parts of life and growing up. Well, the same goes for that first night spent on the streets or in a homeless shelter. The first time you're homeless, the intense feelings of fear and uncertainty are impossible to forget. If you've never been homeless, it's tough to describe that first night sleeping on the street. The fear and disillusionment are almost paralyzing. You just go through the motions, but at the same time you're beating yourself up for being in this situation. It is very surreal because no one ever thinks they will become homeless. No one.

I'll never forget my first night. I was sober, but I had no money, no place to go and no one I could call for help. I was officially homeless. Just six months earlier I had a well-paying job in the television industry, overseeing syndicated programs like Wheel of Fortune. But now, I was the one who had suddenly landed on bankrupt. The irony was painful. I decided to walk from Koreatown to North Hollywood, mainly because I knew the neighborhood and was comfortable with the area. I walked 11 or so miles to the valley. By the time I arrived, it was beginning to get dark, so I started to think about where I was going to sleep. I decided to try a park nearby, but when I arrived, I noticed gang members hanging around in the dark, so I moved on to another location.

My feet were becoming swollen; I was emotionally and physically exhausted. I knew that the worst crimes in the city -- muggings, beatings, shootings -- happened at night to people living outdoors. I knew that when you sleep outside, you are vulnerable to just about everything. I was scared. Probably more scared then I have been or ever will be. I think it was around 3 a.m. when I finally found a park near a small shopping mall in North Hollywood. It was empty, and the first place where I felt safe enough to lay down. Exhaustion quickly set in and I closed my eyes. I don't remember how much time had passed -- maybe 20 minutes -- when, suddenly, all the water sprinklers went off. I just laid there in disbelief, soaking. It's impossible to describe the mixture of fear, anger, vulnerability and, well, homelessness I felt as I lay there”- Mark Horvath  

Hi, my name is Alexis Rodriguez. I am in the progress of creating an organization to help the homeless in Los Angeles. Not only do I want to help them find a place to sleep, but I also want to help them for the better. First, I want to build a shelter for them to sleep. Secondly, I want to hire local barbers so they can give the homeless decent haircuts. Third, I want to help them apply for a job somewhere and get them nice dressing clothes for their interviews. If they do land a job, I will let them stay in the shelter until they get a place of their own.

We are the 2^nd city with the highest population of homeless people. In 2013, there was approximately 2.5 million homeless children all around the world. That’s just children. In Los Angeles, there was 53,798 homeless people in 2013. I’m quite confident that population has increased in these past 2 years. Now, with your donation you can help me lower that population.

Every time I see a homeless person I feel sympathy for them. Why? Because it reminds me of my cousin who was once homeless. He had just gotten out of jail and he was going home with a big smile on his face, expecting his family to be happy to see him because he hadn’t seen them in 5 years. As soon he got there they said hi and fed him, but as soon as that was over his parents talked to him and told him that they had no room for him and he had to find a place to stay. So he contacted us and we let him stay. He eventually got a job and saved up for a car and started sleeping in his. So please, help me prevent a future family from losing a member do to homelessness.
