Is It Fair That With Fame and Money Comes Exemption From the Law?

Many of our celebrities get in trouble with the law alittle too frequently for them to still be allowed in the streets. The rapper "T.I." Clifford Harris was recently convicted of illegal gun charges, he was only given 1 year and a day of jail time and 1000 community service hours. There are countless cases of men who were convicted of gun charges and have spent numerous years in jail, but because of the fame and money they are punished lightly. Singer Chris Brown has been charged with assault against his ex-girlfriend Rihanna. Who knows whats even going on with those charges? And now he's just out making music and living life as if nothing
happened. Celebrity wildchilds Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton have been arrested countless times for a vast number of reasons and yet they are still out roaming the streets. It just doesn't seem very fair to all the average Joes and Janes who deserve as many chances as the celebrities do. Now its your turn, do you think fame and money make it ok to be exempt from rules and regulations?

IS Using Clothing To Support A Cause An Effective Way Of Advertising?

It’s amazing what tactics are developed to influence the way we think. Have you noticed that clothing is now being used to influence society? Many stores are selling shirts promoting recycling, war, peace, and fighting against diseases. They are using what appeals to us (fashion) to influence the way we think. When you see a really cute shirt that says, “War is peace” would you buy it for the message it conveys or simply because it’s cute? People tend to purchase items because of how it looks and for that purpose alone.
If you saw me with a shirt that says recycle would you say cute shirt or would we engage in a conversation on whether or not people should recycle and the benefits it has on our society? Would you even stop and ponder the meaning behind what the shirt says? Highly doubted! So though fashion is used as a form of promotion, is it effective? Some may say no. It is just another form of evidence to the ignorance of society because even when something is placed clearly before us we ignore its importance or purpose.
