"Mapping Everyday" Response

The article "Mapping Everyday: Gender, Blackness, and Discourse in Urban Context" by Dr. Taylor analyzes how college students interpret their surrounding environment with respect to race, gender, and the issues surrounding these topics. Through these studies, Dr. Taylor discusses how these students see violence immersed in the media and how they interpret in their own lives. It is sad to think of how these students and others are so young, yet even they can recognize violence portrayed in the media and think it is wrong, when other people just tend to ignore it. But by pointing out these problems with society now, maybe that young generation can change these standards of our community in the future.
