 To quote one of the most powerful and prolific poets of our time The lead singer of LMFAO song Then when he walks out of my girls be looking like damn fly Freaking my new the sheet. Yeah, this is how I roll and we'll print pants out of control Let's pray with the big-ass profile Let me say I got the clock. Yeah Any more you stated the way the box in the spot. This is what he sees Everyone stops and looks at me. I got passion in my pants and ain't afraid to show it I'm sexy When recently asked what this song meant. What was the point? He actually stated a very important truth That he felt that he was sexy and it didn't matter to anybody else This is a truth that we deal with in our lives every day and it needs to be understood This leads us to our quotation tonight by Winston Churchill which states that the most simple and important definition We make in our lives is the definition of who we are. I agree on This quotation completely and we'll look at this a little bit deeper in three separate ways Well first look at George Herbert meets symbolic interactionism. Well then look at Jeremy Lin from the New York Knicks And last but not least we'll look at the television show that has 4,245 episodes. No, you heard me, right? So let's go ahead and let's start George Herbert me and symbolic interactionism This idea from one of the founding fathers of communication States that words are arbitrary and yet we give meaning to them. Let's keep on the subject with the term sexy When I think of sexy you may not what you think is sexy. I may think of Ryan Reynolds We to the words it's our responsibility such words as slut poor Dyke faggot Have been abused and once again are nothing but arbitrary letters that we Have given meaning Herbert Mead states that is our responsibility each day to understand the meanings and the definitions that we give and Then make the important choice of how to use them Race is an important fact and it was no different with Jeremy Lin in the New York Knicks Now you may have heard of the crazy success of Jeremy Lin Lin Sanity as many call it and many people wanted to show something for the amazing Progress that one of the few Asian Americans has done in the National Basketball Association So Ben and Jerry's came up with their latest ice cream Lin Sanity and it was good the milling yogurt But the problem was what was in the yogurt? fortune cookies Many people thought this was a racist move Complaint even though many reporters said well why are there 50 Asians down in the store trying to get it? Yeah, but Jeremy Lin was asked himself. What do you think? He says to be honest. I think it tastes good Yet the truth lies deeper Jeremy Lin didn't get caught up while other people did and Ironically they missed the truth that the yogurt contained a fruit called leiki, which is also from southeastern Asia Which was used much like honey to only embrace Jeremy Lin's heritage As a Southeast Asia and last but not least you may be thinking of the show 4,200 what show is that? Let me just remind you sunny day sweeping the clouds away Take me down to where the air is sweet. Can you tell me how to get? How to get to Sesame Street? I don't believe that there's someone right now In all this time over 25 years many children's television shows have gone by the way So get Sesame Street has to mean the stable and when Jim Henson asked why what have you done? He said because there is a simplistic idea that defines who we are and that is every time Parents and more importantly the children can rely on the word of the day The number of the day and the letter and that is a simplistic truth So today we've looked at George River meets symbolic interactions We've also looked at Jeremy living in New York Knicks and last but not least Sesame Street But let's go back to that poetic man who so eloquently stated the following truth from Ellen Matthew What about the mall security just can't find them all and when I'm at the beach and it's me Yeah, this is how I roll and we'll print pets out control Come on baby credit to the bar. Don't be nervous. No shoes. No shirt. And I still get service There's Winston Churchill Because the important truth is What we make of ourselves and just like Ellen Matthew said He's sexy and he knows it and that's all
