You Really Got a Hold on Me- The Miracles
The Light- Common
Taylor Swift
Artist of 2009, Taylor Swift!
I cant deny that in 2009 I was taken away by Taylor Swift's Fearless album. The moment I heard "You Belong With Me" on the radio, I knew she was an artist playing my kind of music! This album was filled with simple, humbled, corny, but true lyrics that made millions of girls reminisce about good times in her life. Personally, as a musician I think she's Bad Ass! for being a girl guitarist that doesn't have to shred on an electric guitar to be considered a REAL musician. I admired how her songs seem like they were pulled strait from her diary growing up! She makes all the simple things in life beautiful to remember. Some of my favorite songs that I instantly fell in love with and had to learn on my guitar were- Fifteen, Breathe, and The Best Day. (Live performance linked)

Books
The three books that I'm going to talk about has either deeply influenced my way of thinking, or fictionally painted a creative story line of excitement and suspense.
The Testament by John Grisham
Morally, The Testament conveyed the birth right expectation of inheritance. The plot of this book captured my attention with the unexpected conflict of expectations.
Foreign Influence by Brad Thor
The Foreign, Left the thought of what really justifies in the end. When Scott Harvarth (main character) uses torture of captive combatant to prevent greater destruction.
The incomparably, most influential, book in my life would hands down be:
The Bible (King James Version)
Due to my Catholic religion, The Bible is a powerful influence on my life. The Bible holds moral teachings that I do my best to relate through my every day. An acronym that explains my view of the bible is "B.asic I.nstructions B.efore L.eaving E.arth"

Media Impact
I propose that the woman models on magazines with “perfect” hourglass bodies, will affect both the male and female gender to expect woman to follow in their image of "beauty."
Personally I believe that the human body is beautiful in its own state of comfort and confidence. This is an important research because some women today become mentally and physically ill due to the infatuation to have a model-“thin” body. Also because both men and woman are creating cookie cut images of what a woman’s body should look like, which will be proven through this study. This is how I would conduct this research project- I would use the survey method by collecting poles from both men and woman (ages 16-50). I would let the people choose between two pictures of different body sized woman with the quick question of, "Which woman is more beautiful?" One picture will be of a thin “beautiful” model off a magazine cover, and the other will be a photo of a “beautiful”, realistic, averaged size woman. I predict that both men and woman will find the model from the magazine cover more attractive. This test will prove that the instinct of ones mind is naturally drawn more to this fantasy image of woman.
