My texts fit together because they all incorporate an argument on the hip hop community and its effects on society. Each argument provides different looks at the negative and positive aspects of hip hop. They all seem to come together to answer the main question of whether or not hip hop plays a negative role on our society. Each article can find elements of how the images portrayed in music are often seen taking place in real life. Which brings up the argument that exist inside the argument. Is hip hop being emulated or is it just a report of the real life events that occur everyday in our society. The arguments are filled with hip hop bashing and numerous senarios on how it brings down our society and it degrades women. One text speaks of how hip hop has become appaling to people even considered to be apart of its culture. One text tries to gain credibility in such a way by mentioning of the skin color of one of the hip hop critics. One of the texts gives rappers a chance to speak in their own defense which serves as one of the most valid arguments present because it allows the artist to have a voice and to not take all of the responsibility for themselves but to also spread some of it around the rest of society where society where it needs to be.The txts
The unstated asumptions that allow these arguments to co exist is the thought that all of the issues didnt exist prior to the graphic images presented in hip hop music. The assumption that artist speaking in such violent ways has raged the violence in our inner cities. The thoughts that rappers are not speaking on what goes on, but are fueling the violence and crime. Which all boils back down to the way society looks at things. Can people be blamed for the demise of a community. Is the violenced being fueled by rap music or being brought to the light. The assumption that this violence and crime has not been a problem untill rappers started rapping on such things is almost crazy. People cant speak on a problem that does not exist therefore society might have to turn the mirror around and see that while hip hop makes the problems more culturally acceptable it is not the origin of the problems it just dwells in them
These texts say that arguments in america are at times justifiable but are often presented in a finger pointing manner. Arguments in america look at passing blame as means of arguing. People in america dont like accepting responsibilites for problems, but once it becomes a mainstream epidemic then we like to find someone to blame for the situation. America contains some good arguments but many of the arguments that can be found are ones that are more interested in being one sided than makin valid arguments.

Unit 2 proposal

I am trying to decide what i shouold spend all my time on for my six week proposal. When making this argument i have drawn blanks. I have come up with an idea of two arguments but am unsure of whether or not they would be suffice.
At first i wanted to find something that was of great interest to me so i wanted to do something involving music. I thought about writing on all the succesful entrepeneurs who decided to overlook their oppurtunities for a higher education, but still managed to become very succesful business men in their fields. I could find articles about examples of people's succcess stories and see what they have in common. I would be able to find these stories in many different places. My only thing is that i am unsure how to incorporate this into an argument i am really struggling need help with this...
My next idea was the argument surrounding the BCS and college football. The BCS has seemed to have its critics ever since its origin. Some team seems to always be left out and given unfair results from the complex system. My argument would be whether or not there should be a playoff game in college football. I would be able to find many different arguments from all over the place. I could find the BCS supporters, but would most likely find more information on the critics.
Im not sure which one of the arguments would serve the best for my analysis. Please help me as i am struggling finding a topic for this assignment because i am still unsure what i should put or use for my paper...

free write in class

Today i walked in class late now that we have gotten to our free wright i am unsure what to writeabout. I heard our teacher discussing something about picking an argument so maybe this blog is supposed to be about our argument. My argument hmmm im unsure what it will be i was thinking of doing somethin sports related like why salaries deserve to be high or something of that nature but that may be to tupical of an athlete so than i start exploring another passion of mine the world of music. Maybe i can incorporateone of my favorite artists maybe i should argue that success is determined not by your abilities, but by the oppurtunities you are able to receive. I dont knw i am still unsure where i would go with this but i start thinking of neighborhood success storys lik jigga and fifty cent and even cashmoney who come from the same neighborhood as me. i dont know what to argue maybe sports would be a whole lot simpler. But back to success i might be trying to say that more people would be more societly contributing citizens had their enviornments been different yea that sounds good. I might be trying to speak on all the wonderful minds that have fell victim to our streets and our prison system. Is that a good argument cuase i think i could develop a lot of information, but i am unsure if that is what she is looking for. Hope i figure this out by thurs.
