Monday was a holiday in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King so we had the day off from school. That following wednesday when we arrived in class we were asked by our professor Jimmy Moss what we did over the holiday that touches on Dr. King's legacy; moreover, what have we done to help others and our communities. Most of us had done nothing which wasn't that big of a surprise. I mean you don't really realize it until after someone asks you how selfish most of us all are, it's sometimes so easy to get caught up in me me me that we don't consider others. A class mate had brought up SOPA which most of us had heard nothing about. She explained what it was, which is basically an act to stop online piracy. I didn't and still don't understand the whole gist of it or how it will affect our lives but it's something I want to definitely look into.
After the long discussion we were split up into partners of two and given our first project. We were assigned to pick a "hot" topic, something controversial, relevant, local, and that has a pro and con side to it. Immediately my partner came up with Medical Marijuana and The Adult Film industry. We ultimately chose the adult film industry and the recent mandate forcing film companies to force actors to wear condoms in the scenes. This is a controversial topic that has two sides that we will investigate fully this weekend. Ultimately, we will create an ad for and against our ad. Below are some condom ads in which my partner and I have gained inspiration. Enjoy!
