This is a Social Awareness problem because drugs are terrible. They can destroy a person both inside and out. They harm you physically and mentally. When someone on drugs they may not take care of themselves physically, have poor hygiene, and their health will go bad. Most drug addicts have legal problems, and may suffer from depression.

This is a Social Awareness issue because it is sad that sometimes that some people pass because of another person’s actions. It is also sad because of the fact that some people are dangerous, or don’t want to be messed with, and soon violence comes imbetween one person and another. I feel that violence is a Social Awareness issue because it is not the way to deal with problems, and with problems there are always consequences.

On Sunday October 24th, in
It is also said that the Union Leader has opposed the states legalization of gay marriage.
This is a Social Awareness issue because the Union Leader is not showing equality. It is not right the way some people are treated, just because of their sexuality.
Everyone should be treated equal and it is wrong that he opposes gay marriage, especially when he lives and supports a state that approves of it.
Social Awareness: Media and News # 4:
On Monday October 25th, 2010, a man states the he was dragged through the streets of SoHo, for asking a cab driver if he could take him to Brooklyn . This man was Jerrell Horton. He claims that he was entering the cab when he said to the driver ‘Take me to Brooklyn .’
"I was getting in when he hit the gas and my jacket got caught in the door," he said yesterday. "I was screaming at him to stop, but he would not stop. I struggled and struggled until I finally pulled free."
He also stated that he was dragged for at least a block, before he finally broke free form the cab. He got scrapes, and bruises on his forehead, the back of his head, and his knee.
Jerrell Horton felt that this is racial profiling, since he is a black man.
Jerrell Horton felt that this is racial profiling, since he is a black man.
“This is racial profiling and it's sickening. It's ridiculous trying to find a cab that will take you where you want to go if you're a black man."
This is a Social Awareness issue because this is racial discrimination. We are all equal people, and no one deserves to be treated any different, from any one else. Everyone should be treated equally and live in peace, not having to worry about someone else, which doesn’t like them, or even wants to hurt them. It isn’t right how some people are treated and everyone should treat other people the way they would want to be treated.
Social Awareness: Media News # 5:
On Tuesday October 26th, 2010, a woman was stomped on the head. This woman was 23 year old Lauren Valle. She came from a tea party, when some men chased her.
While this man was stomping on her head, she was being recorded. On the video, it showed that she tripped, after someone snatched a blonde wig off of her head. Then she was forced to the curb by a man, and after she was placed with her face down on the concrete, another man stomped on her head and shoulder. She placed both of her hands to cover her head. Later she was taken to the hospital, where the doctors told her suffered concussion.
"I think I saved myself from further injury," she said.
This is a Social Awareness issue because it is an act of violence. It shows that some people feel that it is alright to hurt someone because of their mood, or even because they do not like that person. It is not right that the men did that to her mainly because it was un-called for.
