White and gold or blue or black?


On February 27 the Internet had one of the most controversial topics. Within a day a certain dress went viral because people saw the color of the dress differently. So many people were talking about the dress it even went on the news. The thing that makes me mad about the dress is not the people arguing what color the dress was, but how much attention it got. There are other topics that are far more important than the dress that deserves to be talk about but doesn't really get much attention or be taken too serious. Like the death of Leonard Nimoy who played as Spock from Star Trek. Also women getting paid less then men when the work. I never thought that women getting paid less then men was actually a thing. Men and women get paid the same at some jobs, but when women start their careers they get paid less the men. I believe that men and women should be paid equally. It's totally unfair that women get paid less just because they are a female and not a male. Sexism is another thing that should get more attention. Women should not be discouraged in taking higher lever science and math course because its a "man's subject".

  1. I agree with you. It really made me mad too when everyone would make such a big deal over a dress instead of real world problems. Also I wasn't aware that men get paid more in their starting salary then women. Just because a women might not be the head of the house hold doesn't mean she should be paid less. For all that company knows is that she is a single mom who is an outstanding worker. I will tell you know its something I defiantly don't look forward to when i get a job one day and know that new guy who got hired shortly after i did is getting a bigger pay check than I am.
