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.

I agree because the older you get the more grown up you have to act. You cant just cry because something doesn't go your way, you have to get over it. I feel that people cant just wait around for things to happen, they have to fight for what they what and not just have it come to them naturally. Use your energy and talent to go for what you want, because for everything you don't go after, you will never have!

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 used to communicate through mass media. Usually the message is from the government and they post it on television or radio. Public Service Announcements are just like ads. You see them alot of places, usually they encourage you not to do something.

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."

I got two things out of Ashton's speech; first thing is to live the life you have, and second, is to be sexy. He is telling us that no one is smarter than us, we can do whatever we want. We can change the world and speak up to what we we think would be a good difference in the world. We don't have to be shy, we can share ideas with our peers and see what they think. Be the difference you wish to see in the world.http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS0moGzgtTOWUIIQZKgPc1YJVRZAlktyvdnTuqE-sNCZMwUdbBY:www.douglaserice.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Be-the-Change-You-Wish-to-See-in-the-World.jpg
