Service Hours!!!

Service Ideas for 1 hour

If you need just one more hour for your community service requirement, here are some options:

Donating 
You can clean out your closet or help your parents clean out stuff around the house and then drive the donations to Goodwill, Habitat for Humanity Restore shop or another charitable organization.  Remember to take pictures of what you donate and where you drop it off at.

Giving Blood
You can stop into a Lifesource and donate blood.  I will count this as one hour.

Feed My Starving Children
They have lots of shifts and some of them are just 1.5 hours.

Media's Socialization Effect through Hip Hop

1.     What do you think Byron Hurt’s thesis (main argument) is?

2.     Do you agree with his thesis?

3.     Are the images/lyrics of masculinity in hip hop damaging to society or should it be viewed as purely entertainment?

4.     How do these images/lyrics of masculinity affect women?

5.     “Black death has been ‘pimped’ by corporations”.  What do you think Chuck D of Public Enemy meant by that?  Do you agree with his statement?

Here are some hip hop groups that are dang good (IMHO) but don’t fall into the trap of ultra masculine rap and at time rap about being more positive in hip hop.

Beastie Boys (albums Check Your Head, Ill Communication, Hello Nasty, Hot Sauce Committee Part 2)

Jurassic 5 (albums Quality Control and Power in Numbers)

Talib Kweli (The Beautiful Struggle and Ear Drum)

Black Star (Mos Def and Talib Kweli are Black Star)

Deltron 3030

The Roots (any of there many many albums)
