The Art Of Editing
Editing is something that is very useful to do in any source of media whether it's doing a newspaper, a show, a computer game, etc. It shows the fact that it can be very artful in so many ways because the whole point of it is to make it look good anyway. When it comes to reality shows editing is very prevelant. They have to do it so it can fit the time of the program as well as to protect certain things about the subject. When it comes to editing advertisements or retouching it is also to make something look good because when it comes to media is constantly and always will be about the money.

Paparazzi
Celebrities are constantly being stalked by cameras because they are legally a public figure, but are celebrities really the cause for camera men to get out of hand? It kind of started with the incident with Princess Diana when her driver was trying to dodge paparazzi and then it caused her car accident. Snapshots are unhindered by law so most of the time celebrities make deals with their publicist to give the paparzzi something to shoot pictures for. At the same time they instigate by bribing celebrities to places where they socialize at or go on a regular basis just so they can take pictures of them and then the picture goes to the highest bidder and then get money off of it. They also pay the informer for the information about the star explaining their whereabouts as well as making deals with autographers so that way the star can get an autograph to take pics of the celeb to make money off of selling the pics. The main thing out of all of this is money.

Hormones For Kids
At a very young age such as toddlers, kids realize who they are as human beings. They recognize the parts and what it's used for and can identify themeselves gender wise. With that being said doctors debate on whether or not it is ok for kids to get hormone treatments once they realize themselves pychologically and that it should match with them physically. Some doctors say they are too young for hormone treatments and feel that whatever the child is feeling is a phase and will eventually outgrow it. Other doctors say let them have it so they can grow up not feeling like they were born in the wrong body. Tyra had an episode explaining this exact issue.

Homosexual Family Dynamics
I'm sure there are some people that wonder what it's like to live in a household where your parents are a gay couple. Well it is actually no different from a straight family home. A study actually showed that kids that grow up in a gay family environment are 5 times more happier than straight families because they are more open-minded and recognize the diversity of society and able to accepted the different. Over 80% of gay families find it beneficial to live this way.

Intersexed
A lot of people don't really know much about the gender term intersexed because it's not common, but if you say the word "hermanphrodite" they are a bit more familiar with it. Hermanphrodite is the slang term for intersexed which is the medical term and it pretty much means that you are born with both parts. 1 out of 2000 people are intersexed which is the same amount of red heads in the world which is not that much. This gender conflict deals with anatomy alone and not necessarily sexuality. There are babies born with full-blown female parts and a few male parts as well as full-blown male parts and a few female parts because of added hormones that developed as a fetus. It is often confused with attraction and confusion with identity because the child often times get altered at birth because of what the doctors want them to be gender wise since there is so many gender biases. What matters is what the child identifies themself pyschologically of what gender they are as well as who they are attracted to.
Same-Sex Marriage
Homosexuality is something that should be appreciated especially since you can't help to be who you are and who you fall in love with. Therefore they should be allowed to marry who they want as well. Sex-sex marriages has been such a growing conflict because of law enforcements and religious beliefs. So many people are for it because it is something they are naturally are and others are against because it is against the bible. With that being said 10 countries has allowed same-sex marriage laws to be passed and only a few countries allow it as well. I really feel like every state and every country should allow it because people are in love with who they are naturally in love with and if anything they are probably more happier than straight couples.

Keeping Bullying A Secret
A lot of people don't tell anyone that they have been bullyed mainly because of retaliation. A few years ago kids made snitching such a big deal because they felt that anyone who is a tattle tell is a punk and have no business telling anyone else anything after something has been done to them or if they witnessed something. They even made shirts with a stop sign that said stop snitching telling people that if you tell on someone then something happens to you. A study showed that about 41% of kids don't tell anyone after they are being bullying because they are afraid that the bully might come after them.
