Is age really just a number?
I truly believe that age is really just a number. Why should a numeric symbol define who a person really is? There are 60 year old people that feel as young as 10 year old children. Those people are capable of doing just as much as children can do. There are teenagers that are mature way beyond their years.
What is my biggest fear?
My biggest fear is honestly death! I am so afraid of not being on earth with my family and friends anymore. I can’t even imagine how it feels to not breathe anymore, or being in a coffin six feet underground, just the thought alone if scary. The scariest thought ever is the way I would die. I don’t want to die in a fire, car crash, or by a gun. I would rather just die in my sleep if anything. I wish people could choose the way they died. Even if we couldn’t choose the age, choosing the way we die would give me relief of the death experience.
College Life…
It’s great! Being out of mom and dads house is the best feeling ever! Even though I miss them dearly, I love have all of this freedom and privacy. I’m originally from Providence, R.I. I only came to NY for school, however, I have decided to live here after I graduate! Everything about living in NY excites me. My favorite experience about NY is walking around the city. The city is so pretty at night and for some reason is really pleasant ans soothing.

Craigslist Murder
What does Sancious think about the woman that was murdered from craigslist?
Well, here goes…
First off I want to start off by saying people need to be aware of the dangers of meeting people from online. If you consider yourself to be an adult, you have to make cautious decisions. The internet is a very dangerous thing to be played with. People have to be careful what kind of personal information they share on the websites. Identity is all we have in this world. Once that is stolen from us, there’s nothing left but sorrow and worries.
The woman that was murdered didn’t deserve to die, but she set her own self up. She should not have been exchanging personal information with a stranger she has never met from online. People lie about who they really are all the time, without any shame or guilt. Its make sick when I hear of a murder due to internet dating. People hear about kidnappings, people being raped and murdered all the time, and still they continue to live curiously.
People have to educate themselves on the dangers of the world. Tune into the news channels and become aware of the world that you live in! Stop becoming another statistic of a homicide in America. No one asks to be killed, but I believe some people place themselves in awkward scary situations. The sad part is, this woman’s death probably won’t even be a warning for some other women. I’m pretty sure people will continue to live life through the internet.

Sex in advertising....
Advertising is a major component in the American society. People see an estimate of 3,000 ads per day. Advertising and the power it has is what causes the manipulation in shaping human behavior. In order for a person to either pay attention to an ad or remember it, they must be able to relate to the ad in some way. Ads must produce some type of an attention-getter for the human eye. One of the leading attention-getters in advertisements is sexual content. Sex influenced ads can be found mostly in the print and television medium. Sexual content might make some viewers uncomfortable, excited, or motivated. If a person has a reaction to sexual content in an ad, this means that the ad has had an affect on this individual. This can either be positive or negative for the product being advertised. In today’s society most non-children ads don’t receive attention unless sex is its main influencer.
The use of sexual content can be used to sell just about any product. Sexual content in some ads are easier to discover then others. These ads usually include some type of subliminal message that spells sex. Many people assume that only perfume and cologne ads have sexual content. However, products such as jewelry, cosmetics, shampoo have women demonstrating seductive behavior while in contact with the product. For example, if a man sees a woman in an ad seductively holding a male Rolex watch, this could encourage him to purchase the watch. If a woman sees another woman in an ad with a man in a perfume/cologne ad and they are sexually interacting, she might think that the product in the ad will have the same affect for the woman and her personal life. Sexual advertising can lead people into a fantasy world, which can either affect them in a positive or negative way. People are easily influenced by what they see in ads. People need to see other people interacting with one another in ads in order to react to the product. Studies indicate that the American society live their life according to advertisements. Without ads people would be unaware of what is available to them.
