Fighting Fifty Shades

OH is it valentines day already? Fifty Shades of Grey is finally being released into theaters! With this grand opening of this erotic R rated film, many people are voicing there opinions about how morally wrong this trilogy is. Although in my opinion, if it is that bad of a series, how did it sell over a hundred million copies? I'm not the only one who bought them! I also think, as a reader, these books are open to many interpretations yet construing the author intentions to create the idea that men can abuse women without consequence is something that is just fat out wrong.. No where in these books is the cantonment of abusive relationships or un-consensual sex . These books are written in Fantasy and should be treated as so by the adult genre they were written for.
Here is the link to an article that's raising money for a good cause but also throwing a good trilogy under the bus! Enjoy you filthy animals ! http://www.wbur.org/2015/02/11/fifty-shades-of-grey-boycott

Gay & Lesbian Rights

Gay and lesbian rights have been an issue in America & all over the world for many years. One of the main issues with gay & lesbian rights is the right to marriage. Over the past few years more & more states have allowed same-sex marriage. Just recently the ban on same-sex marriage in Alabama was ruled unconstitutional, allowing same-sex marriage in the state. On Sunday, Chief Justice Moore ordered probate judges to not issue marriage licenses to same sex couples because he felt the ruling had no bearing on probate judges. Read more in the article below:

Education

This video is about the ongoing issue of education. We're all told to go to college to get a good job but most of us have to pay our way through college because getting an higher education in our country is not cheap. This video talks about the issue of education and school, education is the key to a bright future. To get the education we must go to school but in the end students just end up being in debt to student loans or college students tend forget what they learned after an exam or a semester. Education is suppose to be about learning but recently education is about going to college to pass certain classes to get a degree that cost thousands and thousands of dollars that might not even guarantee anyone a job that they worked so hard for. This video talks about the importance of education, and how college is losing the importance of education everywhere because of increasing student fee's. In the link below there's an article that talks about a federal law kicked in the year of 2010 that requires all colleges to give reasonable estimates for fees, books, tuition, room&board and personal expenses. This allows students to be able to calculate the expense of their college for the next four years this can give students a better chance at choosing the best college that fits their financial situation.
