I agree with what everyone has said above. I think that it would be a great addition to the magazine, and definitely if not published in print, would be a great page for the website. The fashion tr...

"Impartial" journalism: Are we kidding ourselves? (1st and 2nd HW, 10.29) - 81 views

I land somewhere in the middle of this argument. I believe that impartiality should remain a focus of good news writing but that news also has a lot that it could learn from the opinion and column ...

The difference between sixty and seventy percent is sixteen percent. That's actual a lot of people, even if it doesn't feel that big. This article really goes to show that while some people grow up...

Do you think being an over-protective parent has mostly positive or negative affects on the child? When does protective become over-protective?

You know, I don't think that this article was about being an overprotective mom or an argument for or against it. I read it more as, stop judging my parenting style and I'll stop judging yours (in a somewhat bitter way.) I think that protective becomes overprotective when all the child's independence is taking a way. My dad always says that his parenting is to teach me how to leave the nest successfully not stay.:P But do you think it's ever appropriate to judge someone else's parenting style?

"My Daughter's Homework is Killing Me" - 53 views

The writer was able to maintain a light voice which I think aided getting his point across. As a lot of people have noted, this article is amusing. However while being amused the writer was able to...

"Patiently respond that, for Ms. Cyrus, twerking is a brazenly cynical act of cultural appropriation being passed off as a rebellious reclamation of her sexuality after a childhood in the Disneyfied spotlight, but, in the end, who are we really to judge? " This sentence just summed up everything I feel about Miley Cyrus

I find this article pretty funny, especially since my grandma asked me just yesterday about twerking. She probably would have had no idea what twerking was if the New York Times hadn't written an article about how to explain it, which ironically parents are far more likely to read than their kids.

This is a well-written, well-executed satirical piece that does an effective job of highlighting what I believe are the actual problematic aspects to Miley's twerking (the cultural appropriation rather than her right to display her sexuality as she saw fit, even if one doesn't personally find it attractive), while also offering humor to make it less pedantic. This medium hopefully makes it easier for old straight white guys to process the incident.

I think this is a very important article to publish in response to the VMA twerking media boom because it takes the focus off of Miley Cyrus but it doesn't try to ignore her involvement. It's true: we are not to judge. This is not the first or the last time that a child star has done something that could be perceived as an attempt to gain media attention or to throw off an image they created in their early acting. This moves away from comments like "Miley Cyrus needs to keep her tongue in her mouth," and towards that relatable comic episode that we have all experienced when our parents ask us about things that all teenagers know and that parents can't seem to figure out--like a meme.

I think this article is extremely well written and effectively and intelligently points out the motivations for and problems with Miley Cyrus' twerking debacle. The medium puts it in a form that many adults and younger generations will understand, "the Talk" but also gives the problematic aspects of Cyrus' performance due credit. It's entertaining but not offensive and the author clearly knows what he's talking about.

First of all, content wise, I completely agree with Mae. As far as the writing style goes, I love that the writer created a role reversal between a teen and their parents. Their writing made it seem to a helpful parenting book, preparing parents with responses and reactions when their child comes up to them and asks where babies come from. It was comical, but also brought up some good points/opinions.
