Why The Entertainment Industry Needs To Change
variety.com

So, remember seeing Kanye's new music video and feeling vaguely offended. I feel like most people were. And even though it is very wrong and shouldn't have been made, Kanye brings up some very important points about the celebrity world and also the music industry.

Celebrities live in a world where they are constantly on display. There bodies, lives, and problems are out for the world to see. Which is wrong on so many levels. Would you want to have your divorce or drinking problem known to the world. Probably not. His video brings up that these people are also out for the world to see and it is impossible for them to hide anything.

That brings me to my next point. Sexism in the entertainment industry. The other thing that people were furious about was the nudity of the video. However, if that bothered you, then why doesn't it bother you that some female singer is wearing an extremely low cut top of stage, sometimes against her will.

This is the problem with the industry. Women still aren't treated with respect, and men also have the problem of having to "show off" or "sell out". Even in jobs, men dominate more of them and women are forced to do the show off jobs, which involve sometimes no clothes.

Performers have this problem. If they don't look the part then no one pays attention. It is no longer about the music these days. As long as it is catchy and made by a popular artist people listen to it. Think about the last concert you went to. What were the females wearing? Revealing stuff? Tight clothes? Would you be comfortable wearing this on a stage? Probably not.

The point I am trying to get is that we need to focus on bringing unity to the entertainment industry. We need to focus on the talent and not what said celebrity was wearing or how much make up they where. Even in the behind the scene jobs, people aren't treated fairly and can't showcase their true talents.

So change it. Society needs to change how we function and treat people. So stop trying to be like what you see and be like someone who is themselves.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
