Gossip.

Some of the important facts in this article were that gossip accounts for 55 percent of men's conversations and 67 percent of women's conversations. People and journalists like to gossip because it provides a sense of belonging and connectedness. It also leads us to feel morally superior, and it helps us discern moral standards and helps us bond with others. This also shows that between the ages of 25 and 45 societys prime consumers,become upset by serious news stories about war, conflict and poverty. The reason why people gossip so much is because they have a low self esteem, and they try to regain some semblance of control over their existence.


I think gossiping is wrong. It makes people feel bad about themselves, or feeling hurt about the decision they've made. It doesnt help when people talk about it, when the fact is it happened a long time ago. I think gossiping is wrong, but when its good about someone, and you know its going to get back to them, its okay. Telling someone that you really respect that person, and you would do anything for them, is okay because you know its going to get back to them and they will learn to have respect for you. I admit I have talked about other people before, but im learning because I do not like it when people talk about me, so I know how it feels.

My personal reaction is that the song makes me understand about love.
My thoughts are that love is hard to come by, and when you have it, hold it. It also makes me happy. I can make a connection with my mom, because I don't give her nearly enough credit when I should be understanding. I should be grateful for her, because she does do much for me, and I treat her like dirt. She makes my dinner, and cleans my clothes and, she loves me like she should. She treats me fairly and is very understanding and puts up with my moodiness. I like the quote " its so easy to get lost inside a problem that seems so big at the time, its like a river thats so wide, it swallows you whole" I like that quote because it puts all your problems past you, and lets you see them so you can forgive and forget. What I like about it is that it's calm, and the words relate to everyones problems with there parents, or maybe even someone else. I cant remember where I first heard it, but when I did I downloaded it.
