One Day: Matisyahu by Morgan and Keishla
If we want to see social change in the world, we have to plant the seeds ourselves. We can wait and pray, but without taking initiative we will never reach this goal. We have to actively make the choice to take chances and try to change what we see as wrong in the world.
We are all held back by our insecurities and fears of failure, but without failure there can never be success. We all talk about wanting to make a difference, but if we don't take action ourselves, who will??

This video is about how to make a change and is showing pictures in video from how things have changed from the past and into the present. We are still dealing with the situations today with the type of problems you see in this video, such as racism. After viewing this video you think about how things has changed from when you look back in the past and compare it to now. But there still are things we need to change even today.

STOP GUN VIOLENCE
Violence is a thing that every one need's to change. Like gun violence is so bad to touch a gun and pick it up is bad too you should not do it because you could kill some one with the gun so if you see a gun tell a mom or a dad so you wont kill some one. In to stop this gun violence people should stop selling gun a round the world

Racism in the Age of Obama
Is racism starting back up because we now have a black president? I think that it is because many people are posting bad comments on facebook and myspace about Obama and they are saying that he is a bad president and that McCain should have won the election and that people are planning to assassinate him. People also are saying that he is worst than George W. Bush but he really isn't because he has actually helped out our region and many states to save our planet Earth. Many schools are going green and saving a lot more energy than they would if they were not doing this. Also if we do this we will save Earth for a lot longer. I know this because our population is very low and the ecological footprint for every citizen is higher than a place with a huge population. So if you are against Obama, you should know all he is doing is trying to help and people have talked about getting a black president for a while and now that we have one they are spreading very bad rumors.

Stand By Me
We all need someone to lean on sometimes. We all need help at one point or another. Just remember that everyone needs love and friends. :). Don't be afraid to ask for help.

Social change is a very broad word that is used to define change in a social structure. The change can be anything from the races that are usually around to the type of foods people eat. Social change is when people stop treating others wrongly just because of their outer image. social change is when people of all shapes forms colors sizes and walks of life come together in perfect harmony with out a care in the world of not talking the same or looking the same or not walking the same. truth is that no one is the same you might be similar but not the same so....... what i dont understand is whats the big deal???????

Lyrics from Tell The DJ by Cymphonique
I a five star chick and Im younger than the rest
but thats ok
I was raised by the best
Im so icy call me lil frosty
hello haters
I can hear them talkin
and I aint even mad at a young girl paid
got my own baby doll

aligator purses, leather on the seats
fabulous girls clothes, gucci on the feet
give'em butterflies, make'em go crazy
baby Beyonce, girl Patrick Swayze
Ya Im super bad, Hollywood lights
everybody needs a little swagger in there life!
I like this rap because its cool!

social change: recycling
One definition of Social Change- change in social structure: the nature, the social institutions, the social behaviour or the social relations of a society, community of people, and so on.
What I think needs to be changed- We need to help make the earth a better place to live and try to help the environment. Some of the ways we can do this- don't litter, don't waste food, reduce paper waste, reuse, and recycle.
Lets try to Change the world !!

Catalysts for Change
“My mom always told me that one person can make a difference that can change the world.” … after listening to my mom’s account of Rosa Park’s protest, I thought about the power she had. The power to challenge segregation and to stand up for what she believed was right. Rosa Parks was a true catalyst for change and she was only one person.”
-The Freedom Writers Diary-
