#METOO #TIMESUP

In honour of the anniversary of the Women's March in 2016, a grand theme that was greatly recognized during the Golden Globe Awards was the #metoo / #timesup movement. After reading a couple of blog posts specifically about this topic, it's important for people to understand that the women and men are not abusing their power, let alone victimizing themselves to spread the awareness of sexual harassment and discrimination. This movement grew from the domestic violence that people in a position of power (whether it is political or social) abuse towards those who are actually victims. For people to assume that these stories are fake for the sole purpose that they are celebrities is somewhat outrageous. Just because they are famous, does not mean they cannot go through the same experiences other people go through. There are worse incidents, but that does not signify that their own experiences are invalid.
During talk shows and award shows, celebrities and generally famous/popular people share their experiences of sexual harassment. A sign of vulnerability, but also a step closer to uniting all gender who have been victimized. Rising despite the abuse they have gone through.

The importance of this movement is rise women and men who have experienced sexual harassment from the opposite sex or the same sex. To reconcile and grow from the current problem of sexual harassment and blaming victims, along with the discrimination towards those who have experienced such incidents by blaming them for not enjoying what they have gone through, we must come to terms with them. In order to grow and evolve into a safe well moderate society, it's important to confront these problems and accept them despite how bad the reputation might become. Moving forward and accepting our faults is much more necessary and better than staying in the same place living in ignorance towards ourselves.

LIVING UP TO THE HATRED LIBERALS HOLD AGAINST TRUMP

In this article, it speaks of a 50 year old woman giving the finger to Donald Trump, the current president of the United States. Donald Trump passing by, she makes the most gut decision to flip off one of the most powerful person in her country. The most powerful but also one of the most controversial too. During the past year or two, while Donald Trump has been elected for presidency a lot of controversy has raved over many social media platforms and the internet overall. The splitting between the liberal parties and the controversial parties has not been so noticeable as of recently. True colours are showing between families, friends, and relationships.

In my own perspective, I think what she has done is completely validated. Though, my opinion is biased because I, too hold a considerable amount of hatred for Donald Trump considering everything that he has done. For this woman to be fired from her job because of something she did outside of her job, not to mention the fact that there is nothing that proves it is actually her, let alone represents the company/studio she works for, is a bit of a stretch. Freedom of speech is something America holds dearly, yet when someone expresses their dislike for someone in a position of power, that entire statement and everything it means is completely disregarded. If she flipped off a person who doesn't hold a job within the government, there is no way that the incident would make it on the news let alone go viral over the internet. 

Considering the way Donald Trump presents himself online, events such as these should not come as a surprise. Constantly slandering cultural groups, stereotyping ethnical groups, and siding with white supremacy, it's hard to not dislike him and his values especially during a time when social justice is necessary and essential in our society.
