Response 3: Mitch's Blog

I have recently read ‘Comparing Two Sides of an Argument’ on Mitch Kappelman’s blog regarding the opposing views of stem cell research. Mitch equally represents both sides of the argument clearly and concisely. The Pro-Choice argument, which supporters say that science should be embraced and studies with stem cells will help everyone, and the Pro-Life argument, which supporters say that the embryos where the stem cells are extracted from are human beings and this is murder, are two very contrasting viewpoints for which people feel very strongly about.

Mitch allows for both of these viewpoints to be stated without bias. These points are very clear and understandable. When he gives his opinion, he is very concise and his beliefs are supported within the text displayed. The article for which he mentions also is very clear and the arguments are well stated.

After reading the article and Mitch’s blog, my opinion, also, has not changed and I, along with Mitch, side with the Pro-Life argument. Reading these texts has strengthened and supported my viewpoint on this very controversial topic.

Post 4: Cover Girl

Queen Latifah has unleashed a whirlwind of a campaign with CoverGirl makeup. This beautiful woman has encouraged women throughout the country to embrace themselves and to enhance their beauty by using CoverGirl products. Whether it be mascara, foundation, or any other form of makeup, Queen Latifah has launched a powerful message to the country to promote beauty.

CoverGirl, in my opinion, has chosen the correct woman for the promotion of their products. In fact, there has been a new line of makeup introduced that Queen Latifah represents for women of color referred to as the Queen Collection. From a mere spokeswoman to a whole line of the product being represented, Queen Latifah has allowed for CoverGirl to find great success within the beauty industry.

“It might sound cliché, but beauty for me really does start on the inside. It’s like a state of mind, a state of love, if you will. Then whatever you can do on the outside is all like a bonus.” – Queen Latifah

Promoting not only the beauty to be enhanced and applied to one’s body, Queen Latifah promotes the beauty displayed from within. This actress appears in numerous movies, musicals, and commercials and does not alter her image for the roll she is playing, but rather embraces who she is and does not try and hide anything. ‘Breaking barriers’ is what she does best. Not only does she represent the line of makeup for CoverGirl for women of color, but she inspired it.

A portrait was done of Queen Latifah on MyLifetime.com and it describes the hardships she has endured along with how she has remained an image to be admired. Queen Latifah: Stardom, Success, and Self-Acceptance. For these reasons, among many more, Queen Latifah has been an extremely successful spokeswoman for CoverGirl and will continue to promote beauty, both with makeup and within. “Easy, breezy, beautiful CoverGirl..”
