lol that video was funny
ReplyDelete1. I find myself improbably nostalgic for the late 1970s, when I came of age. In many ways, it was a time when girls were less free than they are today: fewer of us competed on the sports field, raised our hands during math class or graduated from college. No one spoke the word “vagina,” whether in a monologue or not
ReplyDeleteBack in the day girls/women didnt have the rights they have now. It is true they have grown in society...some in good ways others in ways that are unimaginable. However, it's their freedom to be who they want and act how they like. Kids have rights to; however, when it comes to 8 and 9 year olds thats where you blame the parents.
The quote from the text that stood out to me the most was “Those bootylicious grade-schoolers in the dance troupe presumably don’t understand the meaning of their motions, but, precisely because of that, they don’t connect- and may never learn to connect- sexy attitude to erotic feelings.” This quote stood out to me because I don’t feel these young girls will know they are being sexual until that element comes to them. Once someone explains what they are doing is “sexy” or they experience the erotic feeling themselves. I do think that it can be prevented though. But that’s up to the parent whether to put them in dance groups or not like such.
ReplyDelete2. When reading the article i thought that the author, Peggy Orenstein, was overthinking the subject. I thought to myself, "What was wrong with 8-9 year old girls dancing freely at a dance competition? Did they really have to be compared or in any way have to be related to strippers?" ...And i continued to read, the author gave some facts, 22% of teenage girls post nude/semi nude pics of themselve, examples like Miley Cyrus, etc. Showed that society might be growing faster then it was in the 70's. Maybe we can blame the media for that though. I don't know.

ReplyDeleteI found that this quote was very important. It reflects to how the earlier days were more innocent that the present day. In the present day you see society getting worst everyday, young children exploiding themselves isn’t a surprise anymore because its so common on website such as “Facebook.” Young children are lossing their values more and more each day and it is to be blamed on the role models our society admires and the way they are brought up.
While reading the text I lost interest whether being for it or against it when I read “Moral panics about pornified girls bubble up regularly these days: should the self-proclaimed role model Miley Cyrus have stripped for Vanity Fair (or given a lap dance to a 44-year-old film producer or pole-danced on an ice cream cart at the Teen Choice Awards)? I think that as a parent that is having a moral panic about Miley Cyrus or other “pornified girls” in the media. You can control your child from seeing it. Even though it will be in her surroundings you can teach your morals at home.
ReplyDelete2. I was one of those that is bothered my explicity of young children. In our society in the present day our media is focused on scandals that celebrities do so that they can criticize them and make some bucks. If those young girls wouldn’t have came out in the video no one would have known about them. Our media is so corrupt and it’s a shame to live in the present world were scandals rise people to the top rather than performances. I have always been aware of the way our media focuses on corrupt things and the article pretty much gave me more feed to an opinion I already had.
ReplyDelete1.”The girls werespectacular dancer, able to twirl on one foot while extending the other into a perfect standing split. But I doubt that two million people had tuned in simply to admire their arabesques.”
ReplyDeleteThis quto is sighificant to me because it shows that is the people that are thinking wrong. Because if you look at it as a little girl being able to to arabesques you have a different view to it.People are looking at the video at the wrong way and not as the girls have talent. That way the quote is significant to me.
1. “I had, but I clicked it each time anyway. I just couldn’t stop myself.” Peggy is stating how she has heard it over and over and kept receiving links to the video. She couldn’t help herself but to watch, since she does state that the girls were spectacular dancers. I believe it is significant to what she had said because not many people out there who had also watched the video had seen it in the same view with the same opinion. Therefore each person who has watched it has given a different opinion towards it, either in a blog or in their own thoughts. Which brings out both positive and negative feedback towards the video.
ReplyDelete1. "In many ways, it was a time when girls were less free than they are today: fewer of us competed on the sports field, raised our hands during math class or graduated from college."
ReplyDeleteThis quote catch my attention because of that fact that thing have changed. These event wont never happen at that period of time for the fact that females werent that free. Now that they can express themselves female have changed they ways. Giving more freedom to expose theyre skin without knowing what my other think about it. Which create a conflict between what is appropriate and no in sociaty.
1) I chose the quote "dilemmas of desire: teenage girls talk about sexuality" I think it is saying how do girls show their sexuality, and at what age. It is significant because as people we need to take care of young girls. I think teenage girls grow up too quickly. Proper dicipline and care is important to a teens life.
ReplyDelete1. 8 & 9 year old girls, Making Strippers Blush!
ReplyDelete1. Strippers at a gentlemen’s club and 8 and 9 year old girls should not be compared! What so ever! As a Man without a child, just the thought of my 8 or 9 year old daughter on a stage wearing almost nothing, Dancing in a very inappropriate way, Should Not be allowed! When it comes to competition, there are lines people shouldn’t cross! Having an 8 year old Girl Dress the way they did, Move, Dance and perform the way they did, only leads back to the actual Teacher or dance instructor who allowed this to even happen! There’s issues in today’s world that Need to be addressed, and moves like that make people who need the help think that there’s nothing wrong with them! And they don’t need help? we have shows running across America to Show, Educate, and warn Parents of these VERY dangerous People we have in today’s society, Who Sole prey on our children! All of America or non American parents can agree that if their child was kidnapped or abducted (Just Like the “Ramsey” case) They Would Want something to be done to help their Children, but why even expose your helpless child in the first place! To me, I think some of these parents and Instructors Who actually put these things together, Should Be addressed, And Educated!, Maybe they need to sit down a watch a few episodes of “How to catch A predator “!
3. Something that I was unfamiliar with from the text is when in the article they spoke about the “Miley Cyrus” and “The Single Ladies” incident. I had never heard of these two incidents so I wasn’t aware of the alarmness it had. After hearing about the incidents I got on the computer and saw what was the fuss about it. I found it innapropiate watching little girls perform the way they did and seeing Miley Cyrus picture. I don’t find anything appealing about watching our society go downhill and do things just to get attention.
ReplyDeleteI was unfamiliar with the video that was spoken in the text. After viewing the video I can see why some will be upset with the performance of the young girls. But again it’s a performance. Which the mothers’ of the girls put them to compete in. So in my opinion I wouldn’t care unless it came to my child.
ReplyDelete3. Actually, I understood the article but didn't seem to know why the author focused more on the kids not the parents. Yes, the kids were the ones dancing but how did they get from a to b? It starts at home. Not on a stage.
ReplyDelete4.Just because they're flaunting it, are they feeling it?
ReplyDelete1. The quote that really caught my eye was when she said “moral panics about pornified girls bubble up regularly these days.” Sad to say the youth and young girls of today are trying to grow up more than ever, then what they should really be. They choose the wrong role models, and it’s true how young girls are constantly trying to stand out and get the wrong attention. Some people worry why these young girls are choosing the wrong path, but in reality it has to do with the parents and letting be so lenient with them, and thinking its “okay.” It is okay and nothing wrong with girls trying to look cute and wanting attention, but there is a limit to everything, and honestly girls that young shouldn’t be wanting to look and grow up that fast, when in reality they’re getting the wrong attention and different views from everyone else.
ReplyDelete1. One quote that was significant to me was, “I find myself improbably for the late 1970s, when I came ago. In many ways, it was a time when girls were less free than they are today.” This quote clarifies that way back then in the 1970s there wasn’t so much bad substances as there is today. Women were respected long ago, but to let little girls dress in that matter. There is no respect or influence in the parents. Women back then weren’t able to reveal anything or else they would be killed, So much has changed today.
ReplyDelete2. The bias I had against this subject while reading this text was parents letting little girls at age 8 and 9 compete dancing the way they did and dress as a stripper would dress. I’m sure one of those girls liked the way the dance moved was done and even if a parent or the teacher has told them never to do that again. But it gives a curiosity to that girl and she will have that desire to do it again and grow to dance that way. Children are viewed innocent, but the way the world has turned out as bad. Children are not viewed as that anymore because parents permit them to do what ADULTS do.
ReplyDelete2. Am against this cover in someone and for it to. Am against it because I don’t think that the girls did anything wrong all they did was dance and I think also that is the people fault for viewing the wrong way. Am for it because Miley Cyrus and other stars are showing bad things to kids. But am in between with this subject because there are rights and wrong to it.
ReplyDeleteOne question I have about the text will be why do many continually complain about something that is out of their reach. If they don’t like something they are ways of avoiding it. Like changing the channel or simply putting rules in your house
ReplyDelete2. Reading through the text I came to a decision towards the video that it is appropriate. Why? Some of you might say. Well I understand these are young seven year old girls, but then again you have to see the whole scene around them and understand what they are doing. I’m sure the majority of their parents will correct them from wearing what to which occasions. It wouldn’t be any different watching late twenty year olds doing the same as well. All these young girls are doing is dancing to a song in an unlikely clothing to see them in. It is the media and people’s opinions on how they see it is what makes others think in a different way but all there really is to it is simply seven year olds competing in a dance competition.
ReplyDelete1) They will say something like, I felt like I looked good’ This quote reflects on how teenagers feel about themselves and their bodies. This quote is significant because teenagers now a days especially teenagers hitting 13 think that their bodies aren’t perfect and become insecure about themselves. A lot o f girls think being skinny is beautiful and if they maintain their body like that they will feel better about themselves when in reality there hurting themselves. There’s an issue with teenagers about the way there figure is and if they result in getting any inch of fat on them they won’t feel so beautiful and can result in sickness. They take being beautiful on the outside is more important than feeling good on the inside and that’s not healthy and that’s when problems occur with girls not eating well and result in cases like anorexia. There mentality isn’t focused on there well being over all there just focused on looking good for the next person and impressing instead of thinking from within.
ReplyDelete2. Understanding the text wasnt difficult. The author wasnt being bias. For the fact that its truth what she had to say. Although that is true some people would think that what she said was bias. For the fact that people havd their own ways of seeing their limits in other people. For example the 7 yrs old girl dancing. The autyhor showed that as unappropriate and unreasonable to be dancing and dressing the way she did. Some we it as ok but others dont which causes a conflict if its bias or not.
ReplyDelete3. I was unfamiliar to in parents letting their daughters dance and dress that way. I know that this world has turned bad, but some parents don’t respect themselves and others do. I approached it as something so inappropriate because little girls dressing that way and dancing in that form is not viewed innocent. 626,595 have viewed the video our professor posted in our blog about 7 year old girls going hard on single ladies. Who knows if 50% were males, some have distorted minds and who knows if they enjoyed that video. Little girls are viewed differently today and their values fade little by little. That’s basically why we see little girls being pregnant, others being raped and why is that because the way parents let their child grow in that matter. A child looks up on their parents and whatever example the parents teach their child, that’s how they will grow up being as them.
ReplyDelete4.In what whys you veiw the video as girls being able to dance or what they were wearing?
ReplyDelete2) This article brings up a lot of good points with the title “Playing at Sexy” to me little girls dancing sexy doesn’t bother me as long as there is a limit and that you teach your child that dancing sexy in a competition is different than dancing sexy outside in the street. When a little girl starts dancing the way they do in music videos is sends out the wrong message and it doesn’t look good at all especially for the parent. Another thing dancing like that can result in predators that record little girls and post it on websites. There’s a double standard here between teaching your child for dancing in a competition and dancing sexy in public. It’ll make problems occur with parents and sometimes it will lead to people starting rumors about the child and many other problems can occur after that blowing it way out of proportion. Little girls in general shouldn’t be dancing the way dancers dance in music videos they are too young.
ReplyDelete4. Why is our society focused more on the mistakes people do rather than finding a solution to fix it? In response to SarahM’s question I believe that her question is very essential. If I view something that bothers me I instantly without hesitating stop watching it. If someone was to tell me, “Oh have you watched Miley Cyrus porn video” in a heartbeat I’de respond, “No I haven’t and I don’t plan on it.” Why waist my time watching something that goes aggainst my values if I personaly don’t respect that.
ReplyDelete4. How do we know that by letting little girls dress and dance in that way can have an effect in their innocence and wouldn’t you think it will create a big risk of danger for them?
ReplyDelete2. When reading this article, it really made me open my eyes and see how the young little girls of today are wanting and try to look like something they’re not. There is nothing wrong with seeking attention from people, but then again is it the right attention? The young girls are only now known for dancing very sexual and wearing skimpy little outfits. Now of course it’s not their fault, but it does go back to letting the parents allow it, and thinking dancing so over sexually is okay. With of course there’s nothing harmful with dancing and trying to be “cute” but everything should have its limits and its right timing. These young girls are trying to pursue a image of a celebrity that way above their age. Overall maybe young girls nowadays should just take it easy on how they portray themselves.
ReplyDelete2. I definitely agree that it’s NOT ok to have 8 and 9 year old girls running around thinking they are grown! I’m totally with the fact that 8 and 9 year old girls should have some after school activities or competition, that’s WHY Schools Have Cheerleaders, Some of these parents need to hand out pom poms and Not Dancing Shoes! And again Not only our the instructors, and parents at fault, Sometimes the media can play in the Wrong as well !
ReplyDelete3. The idea I was unfamiliar with is how people were really against the video. I knew people were against it but not how many or the stronger felling they had for it. How I approach the information is by listening to what they people have to say and saying how I felt about it.
ReplyDelete1. “Moral Panics” was the quote that I found the most distinguished. The basis of the article is about how and why these girls dress the way they do. It has to deal with their morals. How you are raised and where, has a lot to do with your future. Everybody has a different moral and value, so they look at things differently than you would. To some people this video is fine and to others it is what is changing young women a day at a time.
ReplyDelete2. One of the biases that I had with the article is about celebrities. I felt that Miley Cyrus had a lot to do with the article and it made since to put her in it. However, Beyonce is a grown women and knows when to “play it sexy” and not! Her videos may affect younger women but they have to understand that she is older and there is a time when they will be able to dress like that sometimes. A lot of girls want to grow up too fast and the video is a prime example, based on their clothes and dance moves.
3. The only thing I was somewhat unfamiliar with in the text was the word “nostalgic”. It means a wistful desire to return in thought or in fact to a former time in one's life, to one's home or homeland, or to one's family and friends; a sentimental yearning for the happiness of a former place or time. The author feels that times are getting so bad with these girls that she rather refer to the 70’s when she came of age. She explained that everything was so much better. Hopefully, things get better and know I understanding what she was talking about.
4. After watching the video I felt that what they were wearing had a big affect on how they felt while they were dancing. Do you feel that your view of the dancing would have been different if they were covered up more?
I feel if they were more covered up that the dancing wouldn’t have looked as bad as it did. If they were more covered up there “booty shacking move” you wouldn’t actually see their booty. It would still be bad but just not as worse. The clothes had a big affect on me when saw the video and they would feel less sexy if they weren’t wearing that. This would make their dancing less sexy. It comes down to what the author said, “looking good is not feeling good”.
The ideas that was unfamiliar to me was when the author talked about feeling and looks. I was unfamiliar with it probably because im not a female. Most guys dont express there feeling or looks because we dont care as much as female do. It also catch my attention when the teacher explained it. It very reasonable that the other had but something about it because it shows that feelings and looks have to be compatible.
ReplyDelete3. I was unfamiliar with the sentencing stating, “Or the ones thrusting their hips at warp speed to Beyonce. Better yet, tell it to your daughter: she is going to need to hear it.” Come to think of it why would mother’s correct what their daughter’s would wear at the age of seven. Why even worry about what they have in their closet. I’m pretty sure at that age parents are still paying for their daughters clothing and that being said I’m also sure the parent would be present with them to see what it is they pick out and it is the parent who has the final word on whether it is right or wrong from what their daughters choose to wear.
ReplyDeleteTo ruby question I think no one will know in till they grow up. But also the parents and teacher can tell them what wrong or right. They help them learn if what doing is wrong or right in same places. But I don’t think you really won’t know answer in till the kid grow up.
ReplyDelete4. The one question I have is, will letting these young girls act and dress however they want really have an effect on them in the future?
ReplyDelete4. Why compare and be so judgmental towards Beyonce and the seven year old girls when is it a complete different view?
ReplyDeleteWhy isnt society more strict about appropriate thing people can do or not do? What is happening to society is it falling apart without us knowing?
ReplyDeleteTowards Ashley's question . . . It is not letting the young girls act and dress however they want. You do have to understand the scenary their in and what it is that their only doing(dance competion) to take it to much at a higher level as if they were at a bar dancing on poles and it all really depends on what the parent allows them to do and it is in their power on how a young girl may be in the future.
ReplyDelete2) While reading the text I felt biases against the way little girls learn to shake their bodies, and dance sexually. I became aware of it when it stated that the girls feel comfortable in their skins or more confident in their sexual relationships. My evaluation that hindered me is that we must teach our children the right way to value themselves in a good way. While the young girl may ask why can't I dance this way help her out.
ReplyDeleteIn responds to John Malik,
ReplyDeleteI agree completely with your response in #2, 8 and 9 year old girls should be more involved in school than revealing what they have and dressing as a stripper would dress. Parents put their little girls in that for the money and as we know anyone will do anything for a lot of money. It’s disrespectful because the way the parents let their daughters dress in that manner and dance inappropriately shows how the parents are. They basically want the money and even if they cared for their girls they shouldn’t at all influence them at a young age to be dancing or dressing that way.
4 Keyla i view the video as unappropriate. What they were dancing most growups cant do. Also they were wearing unappropriate cloths that can be mistaken really easy. They also cant start copying beyonce cause that bad influence for kid especially that age.
ReplyDelete4 Ashley well i believe it will because the boy that will grow up in her life will remember this day. Also it lets her act more freely and she can express her self more. She would want to be the most or almost popular person in school. And its all about attention now and days. If her attention fades away she my do what its necessary to get it back. BUt we will never know they is a lot of possible outcomes.
ReplyDeleteIn response to Fernando Cepero,
ReplyDeleteI agree with your response to #2, Parents are letting a girl compete for one time but for money, to be seen on TV and for fame. What if there is another opportunity, another dancing competition? I’m sure the parents will put their daughters back in dancing probably worse than what that video we saw showed to impress more the media. Parents should definitely teach their children the right way than letting them pass by only one time to dance in that way. Parents should tell their daughters to value themselves and show respect to themselves because that will probably decrease young girls from being coming pregnant or have the desire to explore out there.
1.The quote that caught my eye or interest was this:
ReplyDelete"Is the neckline too low on the new Barbie Basics' Model 10 dolls - nicknamed, seemingly redundantly, Busty Barbie?" This amused me a lot since "Business" nowadays revolves around sex appeal and believe it or not so does competitions
like beauty pageants and etc.
2.I don't think I let my emotions get in the way of the text in the article all it did was reevaluate what I've been seeing in the past five to six years! XD Distractions like celebrity scandals pull away our attention from what really matters.....is the crumbling of our society or how far we fallen.
ReplyDelete4.I'll re state the question I asked in class HAVE we lost sight of what is right and what is wrong cause from what I've been seeing....nobody knows! XD
ReplyDelete3)I was unfamiliar first with the title playing at sexy. Also model Mily Cirus stripped for Vanity Fair or given a lap dance to a 44 year old film producer.I thought this information was disturbing.I felt that there was information that I did not feel morally sound.
ReplyDelete4)One question that I have about the text is what exactly explains the differance between sexy attitude to erotic feelings? To Daves answer I also say that our future hopefully won't lose sight of what is right or wrong.If people care enough to heal each other than why not take on a challenge like this. Erotic is not a good word for young girls to explore.
ReplyDelete5)In response to jFlores the way that young girls were not aloud to be free in the 1970's. The girls had to act lady like and they were probably emotionally troubled. They also on the other hand did respect themselves more because of the morals of their families. Again, where do you draw the line to keep yourself from the grasp of the dark.
ReplyDelete6)I agree with Ruben that the parents of any young girl still buys the clothes for them. Even though, they will eventually find out what is sexy to them they will need to protect themselves to have a healthy life. Peer pressure from other girls could also affect what they will reflect at themselves.
ReplyDelete1.One of the quote that caught my eye was, “I find myself improbably or the late 1970s, when I came ago.Now more than ever you see teenages acting like adults already. And may i ask why? in my opinion is because of what they see in the streets and especially on t.v. Once they see their favorite t.v stars doing things that aren't right, they will most definetly do it just to look like them talk like them and do everything just like them. Not to long ago i saw this episode on Tyra on Teenage Pregnancy and in that episode the girls where saying that the only reason why they want to get pregnant is because 17 year old Jamie Lynn Spears got pregnant. I think that only because alot of these stars influence alot of kids, the kids will do what their rolemodels are doing.
ReplyDelete2.I totally do not agree with little girls growing up too fast. Forreal they have a good young life to enjoy. I have no idea what the parents of these little girls are thinking running around looking like that. Eight and Nine year olds should be focusing in school and getting into afterschool activities like soccer basketball student coucil tutoring. Things that are going to have your kids with a positive mind set not dancing with short shorts shirts you can see their stomachs and stuff it doesn't look right at all.
ReplyDelete3. One of the things that was unclear to me on the article was when they reffered to“Miley Cyrus” and “The Single Ladies” accident.Miley Cyrus as i see alot of t.v said that the reason why she dressed the way she did in the vms i believe dancing on a stripper pole the reason she did that was becuase it looks FUN and that she needs to start showing people she isnt a little girl nomore. In my opinion showing that you arent a little girl nomore doesnt mean you go and dress so out there just for people to notice what your trying to say. Now for the single ladies little girls video that for me is just crazy. They can have a passion for dancing without a problem but dancing with booty shorts little girls? I know for a fact thats not gonna happen the day i have my kids. I have no idea what the parents of these little girls were thinking because it is not a good look at all.
ReplyDelete4. My question is what type of people will let their daughters dance with short clothing and dancing kind of grown. I mean i know for a FACT if that was my daughter i will most definetly tell the coach or whoever is incharge of the dancing and outfits a complaint thats just ridiculous.Now i wonder now that the video is online was also on tv and all the negative feedback it has how are the kids parents acting towards it? i just wonder....
ReplyDelete5.Also to response to jFlores the way that young girls were not aloud to be free in the 1970's that doesnt give them a excuse to the dance the way they were dancing.Girls during the 1970 i bet respected themselfs more and had good morals with themselfs and also with their families. Now 40 years later and little girls are dancing like strippers. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS WORLD...
ReplyDelete6.Responce to Ruben,When we were all little our parents brought us clothing that was meant for a right age of a little kid. Now i have no clue whats up with little kids/ teens wanting to be sexy? As i write this all thats coming to my head is how many pervs are out there not and best believe is does have something to do with clothing to. Girls no matter what age they are we all need to protect our selfs we all do need a healthy lifestyle. Peer pressure from other girls could also affect what they will reflect at themselves i totally agree with that.
ReplyDelete5. In response to Reina's 2nd article, I agree totally with your response to the question. I like the way she provided examples of things than can be more positive for children. Its true what are children the ages of 8 and 9 going to do with learning provocative moves. Dancing isn't going to help them have a more positive mind set so they can focus in school.
ReplyDelete6. In response to Keyla's 3rd article. I felt that only I had strong opinions towards the video but by hearing everyone participate and have such strong points with or against the video I realized I'm not the only one with strong emotions. I approach things the exact same way if theirs something I'm unfamiliar with I gather up all the information I searched for and take my position about the topic.
1. The quote that stood out for me the most was I find myself improbably nostalgic for the late 1970s, when I came of age. In many ways, it was a time when girls were less free than they are today: fewer of us competed on the sports field, raised our hands during math class or graduated from college. No one spoke the word “vagina,” whether in a monologue or not.
ReplyDeleteThis quote was significant to me because back in the days girls/women weren’t allowed the rights to do what they wanted as for what it is today. Like girls weren’t allowed to stay out that late because they had a lot of responses but now girls today just come home at 2am in the morning and parents just don’t mind it or they are just too scared to say something to them. Also some of them had their mind in school and like graduating college and for some girls today they don’t even finish high school or college because they got pregnant and have to take care of the kids, and cause of that they don’t think of what could had happen to them in their future or the career they could have had. For my thought I think girls should have their time do to do what they want but not to reach a point and go crazy though.
2. The bias that I was against in the text was that the parents letting their daughters at the ages of 8 and 9 compete dancing that way that they were. Also like letting them dress with outfits that would make a stripper blush, like who would let their little daughters wear something like that I know that no parents would never that happen in this world. It was wrong to teach girls to dance that way at that age if a teacher taught my daughters I would be so mad and would be never letting her teach my children again. If they learn all of that then what’s stopping them from keeping dancing like that in their life.
ReplyDelete3. Some of the ideas that I was unfamiliar from the text that was the Miley Cyrus and The Single ladies incident. I’ve never had heard of both of this two incident till now like from what I can see many people are aware of how this girls are dancing and trying to be something that they are not at this age and adults are worried about that now. So I was intersected about both of these two Stories and so after I heard of them I decided to go look them both up on the computer. When I find both of stories and their videos I was like what are this girls doing like there are too young to be dancing like that for their age and those moves that there were going weren’t rite for them to do. I didn’t find anything of this two videos appealing like what kind of message are these young girls trying to sent to other girls like them I just think they should have a good kind of role model so set them in the right path.
ReplyDelete4. Just because the girls are flaunting it, are they feeling it? In response to Ruben Guanga question I think people compare and be so judgmental towards Beyonce and the seven year old girls because like Beyonce post to be a role model to young girls and like whatever she does younger girls do it to and the moves that they do they may think there is nothing wrong them. As for parents and everyone else if they see young girls doing these kinds of moves that beyonce does like they would be saying what kind of role model she is and all and that’s why many are judgmental towards it.
ReplyDelete5.In response to jFlores the way that young girls were not allowed to be free in the 1970's that doesn’t give them a the right to dance that way or wear clothes that they shouldn’t. Like what are we trying to say to our children these days like they are dancing any way they want and no stop that like come on that’s so wrong to do? If I see a kid like dance the way the way that those girls did I would be so mad at them and have talk with their parents and tell them why they are letting their kid dance like that
ReplyDelete6. In response to Keyla and the video like I thought like no ones little girls should dance like that in a contest. Like why are parents letting their child dance like that don’t they have morals and want better for their child. I just didn’t approved of it like what has society done now to our young children like what are you turning them into
ReplyDeleteIn response to KEYLA, dancers are going to see true dancing in different ways then we do. They probally think it is normal but for the naked eye we see differently. What is normal to one person is not for another. If people knew more about dancing their views would change.
ReplyDeleteIn response to JFLOREZ, I agree with you. Parents need to be a part of the child’s life and let them know that the way they are dancing is very wrong. Hopefully, one day they will notice themselves when they hit a certain age. Maybe they will notice when they see that people won’t respect them as much because of the way they dance and dress.
3. Not for nothing, but I was definitely unfamiliar with the Word “arabesque”! “But I doubt that two million people had tuned in simply to admire their arabesques.” why would two million people Even want to tune in? Until I looked up the word on my dictionary in my phone , And seen that it was a form of ballet move ! After seeing the video I understood why two million viewers tuned in !
ReplyDelete4. My Question comes out the woods on this one, Why haven’t the parent Sued Someone YET? I really do believe that it Does Start at home! Starting With the way the parents were raised for even allowing it to go down in the first place, Let alone having it aired in front of two million viewers . These parents really need to tune into “ HOW To Catch a Predator “ ! Really,,,,, America needs to wizen up, Before they become the next Ramzey case !
ReplyDeleteIn RESPONSE to REINA MEJIA I completely agree , Little girls need to slow down and Live their childhood, I think growing up to fast for a female is detrimental to their Future ! Its almost like their parents are trying to make future Strippers out of their own daughters! Just UNREAL WHAT this world’s Coming to now a days!
ReplyDeleteIn RESPONSE to RUBY FUENTES I agree, Every Child growing up has done Exactly what his/her parents warn them not to! Its more curiosity kills the cat ,children have a tendency to explore , experiment, and get there own learning from wrong Doing, but in this case it goes a little beyond Touching the stove or iron when its HOT!
1. “I felt like I looked good” These 8 and 9 year old little girls are dangerously dressing up with and dancing like stripers for a competition. That quote really means a lot, those girls are going to keep doing what they do just because the think they look good knowing if there a child molester in the crowd or something! I don’t know about you people but this is the 1st time I’ve heard of little girls dancing like that for a “competition.”
ReplyDelete2. I was against the fact that parents would let their little girls dress up like stripers and perform like them too. The girls have talent ok I give then that BUT! They shouldn’t be performing in public like that, if they want to dress up and dance sexy they should do it in the privacy of their own home! Keyla said in class that the competition was not suppose be filmed, now think about it, what competition do you compete for that’s not suppose to be recorded?
3. The one thing I was unfamiliar with was how they reflected to Miley Cyrus as the role modle. I think they’re just using that as an excuse so people blame Miley for the girls actions. If their parents let them do that, its their parents fault! So when those little girls grow up not to be what their parents not expected them to be everyone is going to blame Miley Cyrus.
4. Would you let you 8 year old daughter perform like those little girls did for a “competition” that is going to be posted on the internet and everyone is going to watch?
IN RESPONSE to DAVE HINDS….I think so, some people in stead of doing the right thing and telling other what’s wrong they encourage them.
ReplyDelete6. IN RESPONSE to ASHLEY VARGAS…It depends, not if it was only a time thing and yes if they do it on the regular.
