Hip-Hop Survey Result

This is a graph for one of the questions on a survey I conducted over the semester. This question asked people how responsible they believe artist, media, society, and values are for the behavior of women from hip-hop. Most people believed that media was most responsible for their behavior. Very few people believed that artist, media, and society and little responsibility for the actions of women. Overall, the survey revealed that many people think bad about hip-hop and it degrades women. Also, that hip-hop has changed in the past 5 years or more.

Misused Apostrophe In West Detroit

This misused apostrophe was found on Warren and Greenfield in Detroit, MI. This is a misused apostrophe because an apostrophe was supposed to be used after the R and before the S. It should have followed the plural word rule of apostrophes. On the back of the menu it uses the apostrophe correctly, but not on the building or front page. It should have been spelled CAESAR'S.
