Entry #6 From Paris With Love

Everyone heard the news about the terrorist attacks in Paris? It was devastating, there was a total of 120 innocent civilians killed and 352 wounded during the massacre. The militants were armed with explosive belts and machine guns a target random civilians across Paris. The locations were the stadium; concert hall, which an event was in progress; two restaurants; and a bar. . French President, Francois Hollande, blamed the Islamic group called ISIS for the acts that happened Friday.
The whole world (allies) paid their respects for Paris by flashing the colors of the France flag.

France responded by dropping 20 bombs in the terrorist training camp in Syria. It was "an eye for an eye" but we all know this isn't going to stop here and more acts are going to happen in the future and by the looks of it, it's going to be pretty soon. I can smell World War 3!

Entry #5 ASU Shorter Classes

ASU shorting classes isn't a good idea. Why you ask? Students tend to forget what they did in a four month semester. Students are going forget the subject faster if ASU shortens the classes. Also, taking online classes is much fun, you must take face-to-face courses to learn better. Well that's how I like learning, it's way better.

For the people who like taking online classes and don't forget what they learn, I say go ahead. It's a great program you graduate faster and save a lot of money. It's going to be difficult maintaining all those courses but everyone has to scarify something if they want to be successful, even if it's your freedom for a couple of weeks.
Faculty is going to be happier because of shorter classes but like it said in the article they are going to shorten the vacation as well. That won't be much fun for instructors.

Entry #4 Just Do It

Have you ever tried to do something, but you say to yourself "I'm not good enough"? Do it or try it anyways! You'll will not know if you are capable to do something until you do it! That's what William Wallace did in the movie Braveheart. He didn't know what he was capable, until, he successfully manage an army and defeated the English in a battle. This is what his dad told him before dying..

 

 

 

Life is full of risk and be brave to take the challenge and prove you are better than you think. When we were little we thought to ourselves we can't and would never know how to ride a bike. Days or months later you were up in that bike didn't notice do did it. Fear is just an emotion that many of us surpass, but is bigger than the feeling of accomplishment. Why? You ask? It is because you don't notice it, but your accomplishment is the breeze hitting your face when riding the bike. 

 

Try out new things, don't let fear control you. You won't now what you're capable of!

 

FYI- I was watching Braveheart while doing the blog and got inspirational!! 

  

Entry #3 Slanted Reporting

Today's news reporters don't actually report current events. Well they do cover the story but not as much detail as what happen. Reporters care more about catching the viewers (audience) attention than covering actual facts, and why blame them. Many people now a days like watching reality shows than the history or discovery channel. They want something that "pumps" them up. News reporters add their own "reality" sprinkle into the actual news to attract more viewers. They "slant report" (also known as bias reporting [good or bad]) in the people's favor.

http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2015/10/16/media-bias-in-coverage-israeli-palestinian-violence-when-terror-becomes-tensions.html

The url above demonstrates one of this slanted reporting. Reporters in this case took a side (Palestinian) by saying that Israelis decided to have "A Day Of Rage" and reporting what the Israelis did, and how many people they injured. What they leave out is what cause this tension and what the Palestinians (police and citizens) did to the Israelis. Which they murder citizens and even children!

Reporters cut out many of the facts, which they make the viewers take a side, and decide in the good and bad not knowing what really happen.

Entry#1 Blog Thoughts

Knowledge is good when discussing or trying to point out something, but where do you get that knowledge? You get it from little things you read which commonly are blogs. Blogs give out information whether is from something someone did last night to celebrity gossips. The author has the power to make it a personal or professional depending on the word choice used. Blogs make it easier for people when searching something because of the way the information is establish. My favorite blog is http://mmajunkie.com/ it show me everything that's going on in UFC.

Which I can't wait for UFC 193 November 14!
