final thoughts

T his module was a blast i really enjoyed every lecture i learnt so much, the experience was invaluable and id reccoment this module to everyone it was really nice to discuss these topics openly in such a big and diverse group and to share experiences and gain insight int so many topics. The best topic ive ever studied thankyou!!

Gun and Gangs the birmingham postcode war!

Guns and gangs are a major issue in britain today especially in birmingham many young men and women have lost their lives to guns and knifes over the past twenty years but the gang culture has is now rife,gangs are now dividing certain areas of birmingham calling it there territory and will attack or harrass anybody affiliated with the opposing gang who dares tresspass on what they call there territory, gangs are made up of young men and women but mainly men ages ranging from 15-34 there are two major gangs in birmingham and it was beleived that the film 1 day was based on the two birmingham gangs, this film that casted all birmingham actors received a lot of bad press and caused major controversy the government and critics saying that the film was glorifying the gang culture and shouldnt be shown in any birmingham cinemas . I felt differently the film showed the reality of what life is like on the streets for young people, the peer pressure, and many other issues the film ended with all of he main character minus 2 being killed in a horrible gory way if anything this film should provide a wake up call for any body involved inthis lifestyle or for younger boys who see the gang lifestyle appelling, but maybe im naive and a little optimistic, but if that film touched ten people in birmingham who are involved in gangs then i beleive the film made a difference any progress is still progress. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHGq8sYHWBC

in response to the above persons blog on bullying:

i hear you bullying is such a nasty issue and it says a lot about the bully they obviously lack many things one of which being self esteem and they tend to be insecure, people who want people to feel as low as them, its really sad ive experienced bullying first hand also and its so horrible when your in that suituation and it did affect my self esteem, but as i grew up and learnt to love who i was it made me pitty these bullies and they did not love themselves and they helped me to discover what they were lacking self love

in response to harriets blog- i beleive there are two types of gamblers - addicts and people who do it for fun and as long as you are not weak minded and do not have an addictive personality and see gambling as just fun and games then it isnt harmfull

i completely agree with you sophie incest is vile, and there is no justifiable reason for it. 51% of children born from incest are likely to have birth defects imagine isnt that agood enough reason not to have sex with relative? the world is a bigger place to find a partner without having to resort to sleeping with a family member its sick!!
