Carlos Mencia, Blog #4

This video was really interesting to watch because it opened my point of view. Carlos as a comedian uses every resource he thinks can be made fun of, even if it means hurting or insulting other people. He is very direct and in my opinion doesn't really care about others as long as it makes him look funny and people want to see him. However in his jokes there is a lot of truth, for example, stereotypes, how we perceive other cultures or races because of our judgment and what we think is right. Also the topic of racism how we judge others and how they judge us. One of the things I personally agree with him is the education system, how low the standards have gone making it eaiser for students to do poorly in school. The grading system changes every year. Also the learning dissabilities, i think he should have had a better approach, not so rude because it is a very personal and touching topic. Many parents that have to deal with kids that have learning dissabilites know how difficult the situation can be but it is true that the more opportunities or advantages they receive the less effort they put in their learning. Overall I found him funny, anyways he is expressing his points of views therefore no one can tell him what to do or what to think. It is his right to say what he wants to say even if it hurts other people.

WOW, MISS TEEN USA!!

I feel bad for the girl because she is very young just like us and imagine standing in front of hundreds of people and having to answer questions as well as modeling, trying to look good for the cameras, not falling or making a of fool of yourself. In this case, she didn't have a good answer and she went completely off topic but we have to understand the pressure and when you don't know what you are going to say you just say whatever comes to your mind in that moment. She is a normal person like you or me and if we would be in her position we would probably say something out of place or akward just like she did, maybe there are other girls that don't get so nervous that can perform better in this competitions, but she is pretty and she did good in going back to national television and defending herself. We all have moments were we don't know what we are going to say for example in class presentations or interviews, it's something very natural and common.
