Costume from Party City Halloween costumes that are meant to represent and resemble another culture are supposed to be for fun and laughs. However, it could be the exact opposite. Like the video says, costumes could be very offensive to the culture it is based off of because Halloween costumes are meant to be funny or scary. The person wearing the costume could be implying that the culture is funny or scary, even if they didn't intend to in the first place. To me, it isn't a problem if people are trying to dress up as another person, and therefore wear costumes, or accessories to make them look similar. The problem is when people will dress up as a culture, not knowing why they are dressed up like that, and wearing it anyways because it looks coo. This is evident in native costumes, or "Indians," where people think it is okay to wear them because they look cool, or funny, but in reality they are being disrespectful to their culture.

Banner from Knock The Vote The "Knock The Vote" PSA was obviously directed towards the American youth to try and get them to vote. To get their message across, they used the elderly to mock the younger generation and thank them for not voting because they'll help keep things the same as they currently are.

It will try to convince the youth to prove the elderly in the video wrong and actually vote, which is the true message and meaning behind the video. Uno Reverse Card To me, it didn't really affect me at all because I wouldn't be of legal age to vote, and because I don't live in ...

There are people that love it, and others that hate it, vowing to boycott their products and burning every Nike product they have. I see the burning of Nike attire as something useless because they already paid for the product and they’re not getting anything in return, except for some attention on social media. While some people have believed that this was the start of Nike’s downfall, and expected continuous bashing and boycotting from many people, it didn’t happen. Trump even took the time to comment on the situation on Twitter saying, “What was Nike thinking.” As time passed by, I can conclude that Nike has indeed put a lot of thought into this as their sales and stock prices have increased greatly. Even though the campaign is about racial injustice, I believe that it isn’t the biggest reason as to why they released an ad with Colin Kaepernick....
