Footballers and their wages

My first discussion point, why do footballers get paid so much? It is absolutely pointless, they do hardly anything, just kick around a ball all day and they get paid millions. It is so not fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are so many individuals doing more worth while jobs, yet they get paid a fraction of what footballers get! It is not even eqaul across all sports Rugby players for example, get paid a lot less. I am not against football, I enjoy it, I just think that it is crazy the amount of money that footballers get.

Where has all my motivation gone?

Here I am sat in the basement supposed to be writing an essay, when here I am writing to you and helping my friends cook lasagna. I just can't seem to be motivated to do anything for school anymore. The homework keeps piling up, yet I don't seem to be fazed. Why though? That is what I don't understand. It is not like I don't like what I am doing, I do. It is just I don't see a point in what I am doing. Maybe I am just not seeing the results that I want. I feel that I am not really doing anything productive academic wise with my life at the moment. I am enjoying other things in life, like being with friends and being involved in things on campus outside of the academic realm. I mean that is all well and good, but I do need to motivate myself academically, because if I don't then the whole point of me being here will be pointless. If anybody has any ideas be sure to let me know!

The readings made me think of how even the most conscientious person in the world probably has some form of stereotypes that come up from time to time and that we must always take a critical look at everything that we see/hear, etc and that we must also be critical of the things that we think. We have to be aware of the things that we think and why we think them, so that we do not fall victim to being judgmental. All forms of media outlets uses stereotypes in order for the audience to remember and understand the information better, e.g. in the case of The Lion King it has been shown that children start producing some form of stereotypes from a young age, and Disney uses that information in order to make a movie that will be liked and remembered by many people. Media is also implicitly enforcing the st...
