Entry #6: FIN

As a student a lot of assignments are focused and no creativity is put forth in the work. I love blogging but when something so personal and intimate is a requirement it becomes uncomfortable. Not because I had to do the blogs in general, but the fact that I had to write on particular topics that was not appealing to me. I love blogging I just found it more relaxing to do self generated posts because they were open to write on whatever topic I wanted to touch on. Blogging was an assignment so of course I took it seriously.If it was optional, I probably would have to it even more serious because maybe then the topics would been for own interest. But these blogs are part of my overall grade. Blogging for class, I learned that I have to be more open to topics and willing to analyze them and be able to write on them. While still sounds like I know exactly what it is I am talking about. I always think blogging is resourceful. For example, I am a dancer, what if I have to promote myself through social medias, and that includes blogging. Taking what I have done in class or any other class I blogged in, I have the resources and feedback to improve my blogging and make it more comprehensive. So in many ways blogging even for a small assignment is both useful and valuable. I not in any position to tell someone with a degree how to run a class assignment, I believe Chris has it is perfect and he should not change anything but the topics. Doing this blog assignment has made me want to blog more. I mean I blog picture all the time on Tumblr, but I want to actually start blogging in writing. Maybe I can start a daily dancer blog, that will keep record of my daily class summaries, workouts, and I can even talk about how I balance both course work and dane classes.

Entry #5: The First Stone

       In the media everything is twisted, every face, story, walk, and interview. With today's technology many of things can be manipulated. When I was younger I used to live by what the media said about my favorite actors and musicians. Now as I have grown I am finding that the media credibility is small and the majority of the information they throw out is false. I just do not understand how people go out of their way to make a story up about someone. I cannot see how they sleep at night. And the sad this is, is that there is nothing protecting the famous people from being slandered. It really is sad and pathetic. On of my favorite things to hear in the media is how all the successful musicians are part of the illuminati. And because people do not do their research, they believe the media and begin to spread words like a virus. This causes a lot of hatred towards the artists and it just is not fair.
   

My dad always say, well they are in the public eye now so they are open for anything. I think that is the most asinine comment my father has ever said. I  do not agree that a person who become a public figure should have his/her privacy invaded, just so someone can make a buck. These days I tend to stay away from tablots and news channels. There are filled with bias opinions and lies. If all these paparazzi people take their negativity and turn it into something educational and beneficial maybe kids would be a lot smarter and people would actually care more about something other than what Kim K is doing or what drug did Whitney die from.

Entry #4: A Love Story??

       

      So my class viewed a documentary film on CAPITALISM. According to IMDB, Capitalism is describes as, A Love Story examines the impact of corporate dominance on the everyday lives of Americans (and by default, the rest of the world). What a joy-able topic right? Not even, I do understand the content of the film, but it was all about politics, everything we do is politics. I am the type of person who would stay away from politics if it was not an everyday factor in my wellbeing. And as much as I find was bored by this film, I can only think about how truthful some of the information is. Honestly, this film is provided to the people but no one has stepped up and said anything defending the cause of this film. Our Government is the hugest contribution to capitalism. The majority of the money, time, and effort individuals put into things, they hardly ever see it. I mean come on, a penny is worth two cents. This film shined a light on a lot of wrong doing to the people, but again no one is standing up and we the people continue to complain. My parents always taught me, a closed mouth does not get feed.  And in many situations, this is true; if we the people continue to let the government over run us and take what we work so hard for, we will never get by and continue to struggle. As a reminder CAPITALISM is NOT evil; it is the government that is evil.
