Our Society, Episode Seven: PC Culture






Hello! I'm your host, Victoria Caceres, and in this episode of Our Society, we will be discussing Political correctness, or as some call it, PC culture. All of my personal life, I heard about this constantly and witnessed most of the debates from both sides. Through this, I haven't realized the significance it has on our society... No pun intended. So therein begins the episode. What is political correctness? How has it changed over the years? How far can it go, and how far is too far? Should we have a line? Listen to this episode and find out both sides answering these questions.

About the host
  Victoria Caceres is a sophomore that goes to Fenton High School. She likes reading, writing, and listening to music.  Her dislikes include exercise, the sun, and the lack of payment on her Netflix. Though this podcast was just a school project and there are no further or previous episodes, she is presently considering making this an actual podcast. I suppose we will have to wait and see.

    Before I listened to your podcast I wasn't really aware of what PC culture even meant but I think you did a really good job explaining what it is and how it affects people, etc. Good job!

Isaac's Podcast- School Causes Stress on Teens (Ep.1)

Image
School causes stress on teens Podcast Pitch And welcome back to Isaac's podcast, so stress and school. Man those two things match so perfectly. Stress brings such worry, such anxiety. Many kids struggle and try to cope with it but they always seem to fail because they always aim for perfection yet don't succeed at that. They struggle their whole life because they were so focussed on getting that A in high school. They were so focussed on getting the work done, instead on focusing on what life really matters. The school system it just, things are due, there are due dates in school and kids try to meet those standards but they have sports, they have families, they want to have fun, they don't want to spend their young years worrying, but they end up worrying, and stressing, and thats the sad truth. ⇩Link Below⇩ https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Q9CfDFBpJ8pcEEAu9FKOS_kCLiuYhyB5  Sources cited:  http://web.b.ebscohos...

WHAT THE TRUMP?! The Teenage Thoughts on the Donald Trump Presidency

Image
Teenagers and Trump The most controversial man in America happens to be our president.  Donald J. Trump, the United States' 45th president, split America into  two halves. While many people (about half the United States) agreed  with him and his proposed political agenda, he still managed to draw lots of  controversies.   Is Donald Trump doing anything wrong? Are the American people being over-dramatic towards his presidency? Maybe it isn’t that Trump is doing a bad job, but that the American people are still caught up in that he managed to beat Hillary? Rather than having adults answer these questions, maybe it’s time that kids share their opinions because the only opinions we ever get are old stinky adult ones. Find out in this episode of Arekcast, with your host Arek Gadomski, as we gather information from teenage High-school students on our president and discuss controversial topics regarding him.
