Diana Kendall's Framing Class, Vicarious living, and Conspicuous Consumption, was a rather dry read. Although i fond some of the fact and statistics interresssting. To many times in life i believe that we get caught up in the lives of others, wheather it is woundering how they are doing in life or how much money they make or if its as simple as what clothes they may wear that day. Really i know that in my own life that i have enough to worry about. There are many problems that i see with wanting to be like others or trying to emulate them in diffrent ways. it is a struggle in society and deffinatly needs to be addressed. If we can learn to worry about ourselves first we may find a deeper happiness about life.
In Joann Morgans essay i was taken back by some of the thoughts and where some of the blame was placed. I have a lot of thoughts about this essay. The way that womenare portayed in rap music or hip hop is wrong. Also the way that women will let thesleves act or how they allow other men to treat them is wrong in every way. I dont believe that this situation is not limited the hip hop scene. Tue truth is that women are trated and looked at wrongly in this industry.

I agree with you that I have plenty to worry about in my life then to be overly concerned about someone elses wealth or financial struggles..Thats their own problem. Rude, I know. And I also agree with you about the women, however I do think it is not due to men... Woman do it to themselves. If we did not let ourselves be looked at that way or did not act/dress in a sluty or provacative way, then men would not be able to think or do the things they do. The men are innocent in most cases as far as I am concerned.
