Response to Isabel post on body modification
I agree with you when u said you found this lecture interesting. The fact the people from different cultures have certain body modification which states what tribe they are in or maybe the God they worship. I also agree with you when you said you found the history of body medication interesting because before this lecture i did not really think about the history of body modification or the meaning behind it. I just thought people got body modification because it made them look good and thats its.
Downloading music and films illegally
We all do it. I guess we just don’t like paying for music or films, why when we can download it for free.
According to the Times online “six million broadband users are estimated to download files illegally every year in this country” so why is downloading music and films illegally bad. Well according to the Times online line films and music companies claim it is costing them billions of pounds in lost revenue annually.
I watched this television program on BBC 1 about a month ago about downloading music and films illegally. Before watching this show I did not really think that downloading music and films illegally was a big deal I did not even know that it was illegal.
In my opinion I do not really see anything wrong with downloading music or films without paying for it. But them on the other hand some people might see this as stealing because you are talking something that t not yours without paying for it or permission.
The Times on line state that people who illegally download films and music will be cut off from the internet.
Internet service providers (ISPs) are legally required to take action to take action against people that pirated material. Moreover people who are suspected of wrongly downloading films or music will get a warning e-mail for the first offence, a suspension for the second infringement and the termination of their internet contract f caught a third time.
Coming to a conclusion I think that getting your internet cut off is a bit over that top. I understand that downloading things without paying is illegal, but instead of cutting off their whole internet why not just stop them from accessing music or film cites. http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/the_web/article3353387.ece.

Body modification
I found this lecture funny and interesting. It got a bit boring at times but i enjoyed it. After the lecture i found out so much information about tattoos i think i could actually work n a tattoo parlour.
For thousands of years, people all across the globe have been participating in various forms of body modification.
What is body modification? In the lecture i found out that Body medication is changing of the body by various means and to varying degrees from its natural original state to another.
Everyone has a body medication of some sort. In the lecture we talked about different types of body medication for example non invasive practices these do not alter the body’s structure and usually involves the body’s surface. Invasive practices these modify the body and either temporarily or permanently by adding to or removing from the body.
There are many reasons for modifying your body for example attraction people might modify their body because it makes them look good, religious reasons people might modify their body for a religious reason. In the lecture we found out that many years ago people in tribes would tattoo there body so that other people would know what tribe they came from. Become part of a group some people tattoo themselves to become part of a group.
In this lecturer we found out that People all around the world actively participate in various forms of body modification. Altering the body using tattoos or piercings has been commonplace for hundreds of tribes for thousands of years for example, certain tribes in Africa pierce the lip and insert rocks or sticks in order to stretch the lip out. Once the lip is stretched, a lip plate is inserted. For these tribes, lip plates are considered normal and can have a variety of representations. For other cultures, lip piercings can be looked down upon.http://body-piercing.suite101.com/article.cfm/body_modification
This lecture was interesting because i found out about the history of tattoos and body medications. Before this lecture i knew little about the history of body modification. I thought that people with tattoos or piercing only got them so they can look good or because other people have it. I know about the historical meaning of body modification.
In the lecture we were asked which body modifications we fund wrong and which ones we found expectable. Well me personally some of the images that were shown i found a bit shock for example don’t know why someone would pierce there privet area, but then on the other hand it’s their body so i guess they can do what they want with it. On the other hand some people might think that this is completely wrong because they believe people should be happy with what God gave them and they should not change their body. I think that the body medications that should be expectable are getting your ears pierced, your belly button. With tattoos i think maybe about two but in hidden places. I think that when you get a lot of tattoos it looks ugly when you are really old because your skin is all elastic. I sore some TV program last week about this man who spent £100,000 on tattoos and plastic surgery to turn himself into a "tiger". Dennis Smith is tattooed from head to toe with orange and black stripes and his teeth have been filed to needle point. He has also had latex whiskers implanted and surgery to his lips so he has a permanent snarl. He now wants a surgeon to graft tiger fur on to his skin, like a perma-wig. I think most people would agree with me that this is way over that top. I felt sorry for this man because were ever he went people always looked at him and because he had so much tattoos he could not be able to get a job anyway because of the way he it. If it was me i wouldn’t give him a job either.

Coming to a conclusion there are many reasons why people get body modifications. Whatever that reason is good for them it’s their skin and not anyone else’s so i guess we shouldn’t really judge them.

Response to Karrie-Anne’s blog on Masturbation
I agree with what you are saying i think that when we had that discussion on Masturbation people were shocked, embarrassed but also found the topic funny. I don’t think that people like discussing Masturbation, not girls anyway I think that girls find it more embarrassing. In my opinion i think that boys are more open to talk about Masturbation some even brag about how many times they do it a day. I also agree with when you said that Masturbation has become more expectable than it was back in the day it’s probably because as the society changes so do people opinions.
