One way to make a point is through SATIRE.  Satire is the use of irony or sarcasm to reveal the truth in an unconventional and most times shocking way.  The funny thing is that many newspapers have a section only on satire articles that speak about current social issues with irony and sarcasm.  

I found this really funny article in The Huffington Post about feminism titled "How Feminism Hurts Men".  The author of the article Micah J. Murray begins by saying that a friend of his on facebook told him that "feminism elevates women at the expense of men...".  He later continues to do a reflection on what his friend just told him and thinks that his friend is right.  In a sarcastic way, Murray goes on to say that because of feminism men are experiencing all sorts of problems such as not being able to walk down the streets without fear of being harassed or sexually assaulted by a woman, women being paid more than men in jobs, and churches are dominated by women while men are asked to keep quiet in the back, and other hilarious sarcastic comments about how the female is the most powerful sex who overpower the male.  The end paragraph actually urges the reader (by saying "don't read) to read a book titled "Jesus Feminist" about how women are equal to men.  

This satire makes a funny argument against people who are against feminist believes.  It makes the reader imagine how the role of a man would change if the tables were turned and females overpowered men.  It makes it evident that The example the author uses are things that happen not to men, but to females today everywhere.  It makes the man walk in the shoes of a female.  I personally liked very much the article and found that it was a creative way to talk about feminism.

Out of the four editorials I read, the one that I liked the most was "Sentenced to a Slow Death".  This piece revealed to me information that I was not aware of.  It used numbers and figures to astonish the reader (me) and it made the reader empathetic.  

"Sentenced to a Slow Death" is an editorial piece from The New York Times about the high number of people who are sentenced to prison for life in the United States for non-violent crimes.  These non-violent crimes include selling marijuana, using party drugs, stealing gas from a truck.  A report shows that since 2012 there are approximately 3,300 people serving sentences of life without parole for such crimes.  And apparently the numbers are even higher since these numbers shown do not include other non-violent crimes that are legally classified as "violent" such as trying to steal an unoccupied car.  The editorial states that many laws in the United States are too strict for the crime and therefore are placing too many people in jail for too long.  The same report mentions that the cost for imprisoning just the 3,300 people for life is $1.78 billion!  It also states that the U.S. has the highest incarceration rate in the world!  

One part I liked a lot from the editorial was a quote that the warden of the Louisiana State Penitentiary, Even Burl Cain, said: "Everybody forgets what correction means.  It means to correct deviant behavior.  If this person can go back and be a productive citizen and not commit crimes again, why spend the money to keep him in prison? I need to keep predators in these big old prisons, not dying old men."  

"Sentenced to a Slow Death" has an eye catching title that makes the reader want to know what it is about.  It is also well written and uses easy to interpret vocabulary that makes it accessible for all.  The writer is well informed on the subject, and demonstrates that he/she is passionate about the topic an


 

     
I am not a person that gets pissed off easily.  I try to take things lightly so that they don't ruin my day or my mood, but there are a couple of things that I just can not deal with!  Here is a list of my pet peeves under "Personal".  Those little things that get me mad but that don't hurt any body.  Under "Social is a list of the things that piss me off and that, in my opinion, the world would be much better without.  

Since I was a little girl, Disney surrounded me.  I had all of the Disney movies in VHS at my grandparent's home, I loved going to the original Disney store at Plaza las Américas (the one that had the big mountain of plush toys), and I celebrated my Quinceañero with my family and my then best friend at Disney World.  I was also addicted to Disney Channel, watching all of its "Original Movies" and series.  During high school a colleague even named me "The Disney Girl". The point is Disney has defined my childhood and the childhood of many like myself.  So after watching the documentary "Mickey Mouse Monopoly" I questioned myself what were the original intentions of Walt Disney?  Were they to bring happiness to children or were they solely to capitalize? 

There were things that the documentary mentioned that i did know, such as how Disney teaches little children their gender roles such as how to act like a girl and how to act like a boy.  However, what i had never realized was the racial roles Disney sets.  This came to me as a shock because children since they are months old, are learning and absorbing everything around them.  So when they watch a Disney film they are unconsciously learning the stereotypes that come with each race.  These stereotypes become encrypted in the minds of little ones and then its hard to teach them other wise.  The documentary portrayed various examples when talking about the Disney characters that are used as racial stereotypes such as the representation of Hispanics as chiwawas that steel cars,  African Americans as gorillas that do the jive and articulate poorly, and Asians as Siamese cats with buck teeth

.This was what mostly impacted me from the documentary because I thought that we lived in a modern world where children are taught not to discriminate or judge other because of the color of their skin or where they are from.  I cannot deny that Disney's cartoons are fun and entertaining, but the creators of such cartoons should be careful with what they make for children.
