During class today someone mentioned how the girls who are of “the Limited Too generation”, and how they were raised to have what they want, and that the girls grow up to not be successful. Personally, I do not agree. When I was younger my mother bought my clothes from Limited Too, and I am a very strong young woman who has achieved great things in my collegiate career.
In my opinion I think people are too quick to make inferences and predictions about a specific group of people without knowing or experiencing. I think the girl who spoke about this particular topic may have looked at the JCPenny shirt we talked about and made the connection with a popular pre-teen store. However, when I shopped there the store did not carry printed shirts with demeaning slogans about young girls. If they sold items like the shirt we looked at my mother would not have taken me there.
In regards to the Rack Em’ video, I cannot believe things like this are actually on YouTube. I am aware that there are plenty of inappropriate videos on the internet, but my question to the people who upload them is, do you try to help them become better? Personally if I saw someone struggling like the man in the Rack Em’ video, I would ask if there was anything I could do to help. I understand that not everyone has the desire to be helped, but I also doubt that they desire to be humiliated by the millions of people who have viewed the video.
