Video: Bella Donna and Deja B. do a "Michael Jackson Skit"

I had to do a presentation last week in my "Comm 306" class on the "Spiral of Silence Theory" by Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann...

Most of the students in my class choose to simply do a PowerPoint presentation and give out a couple of hand-outs or do a sample quiz... Soooo I decided to do something a little different for my presentation and get creative. Hence a home-made "Spiral of Silence" video was created!!! Yay!!! Haha.
Basically, the "Spiral of Silence Theory" says that when placed in a situation where a person's opinion is not shared by the majority, that person will simply remain "silent" instead of voicing their opinion because they don't want to become isolated or look stupid in front of their friends. For example, say you don't like gay people and you somehow end up in a situation where you are severely outnumbered by gay people surrounding you... Your not going to say "I hate gay people" when your around them. It's not that your mind is necessarily changed about how you feel towards them, it's just that your put in a situation where you are in the minority and you don't want to go against the majority opinion, therefore you remain "silent"...
Editor's Note: BTW, I don't hate gay people, it was just an example.

So for my presentation, Me, Deja B., and A. Hardin did a skit where I'm preparing to go a party while listening to a Michael Jackson song when Deja B. and A. Hardin come in and roast me for listening to Michael Jackson. Now, even though I like Michael Jackson, I don't want to say I do because then they'll start roasting me instead. Its basically how the "Spiral of Silence" would play out in real life... Aww sh*t, didn't know I was a scholar too huh? Lol.

Anyways, On to the Video:
