The world has viewed Trump in the last 100 days as though he has done nothing to help the global problems taking place and especially within the last few weeks, he has caused more problems throughout the world. In the first article written by CNN, it goes into the very specifics of how certain countries viewed Trump's first 100 days. Because the authors of the article gave thirteen different countries points of view, I wouldn't say that it had  much vagueness. However, there are still a few parts that can be more specific like when they talk about how H.R. McCaster "has hired a very bright woman to write the U.S. National Security Strategy" because "it's a tough job." This part is very vague to where the article authors did not elaborate at all about who the woman is and why the job is so hard that they can't hire just anyone. Most of this article did agree with Orwell's essay on how we as humans have adapted the English language to make it our own and almost use it in a lazier way. CNN especially used many weasel words to make sure they didn't seem like they were standing with or against one country. When talking about North Korea, they used lighter words like "worried" instead of frightened and "rattled" instead of a stronger word like "corruption." In the second article by ABC news, the article format is very similar to CNN because they both follow Orwell's essay on how he sees the English language. This article also uses vagueness when it  talks about Trump's problems and his challenges because the article doesn't go into specifics, rather they are more specific  on how Americans feel about him and how he has handled things these last 100 days. The article also uses weasel words when they talk about the people who don't support Trump, they refer to them as ones who are "rejecting Trump's criticism." Throughout both of these articles there are clear examples of weasel words and vagueness and because of this, the formatt of both of these articles agree with Orwell's essay on the english language.

Is Online Dating More Beneficial?

Image
May 12th, 2017 Within the past few years, online dating has become more of the norm in our society. A few years ago when sites like Tinder were first being introduced, they were very out of the ordinary and a lot of people were very skeptical of them. However, as our society continues to advance with social media and other technological advances, it's not as out of the ordinary as it used to be and in fact it is actually pretty common to online date. But I have always wondered, does online dating really work? Is it really more beneficial to make a profile about yourself in hopes that someone clicks on it and find you with taking the chances that this person could not be real? According to The Telegraph UK , the whole concept of online dating, is more likely to last than "regular dating." The simple fact is that people like online dating because it gives them a chance to be who they want to be behind a computer or phone screen. They don't have to hold back who they ...

My current realtionship with media

Image
April 24th, 2017 I would be lying if I said that I spend very little time on social media. It really has impacted my life to where when I wake up, I go on it, before I go to bed, I'm on it, and at any other time throughout the day, I am usually on it. I use Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitter the most out of every social media website. They allow me to keep in touch with my friends and see what they are doing and for them to see what I am doing. I would say that because I spend so much time on it, in a way it has helped me become even closer with my friends. Social media makes it a lot easier for me to talk to my friends everyday when I am not at school, when they aren't at school, and just outside of school in general. I am able to talk to them a lot more at school because a lot of the people I don't see everyday because I don't have classes with every one of my friends. It has even allowed me to make new friends that usually go to our school. If it wasn't ...

reflection

June 11th, 2017 Writing up these media blogs, have really made me reflect on the way I see and use media. I still continue to use the same amount of media but now I am completely aware of it. I spend a lot of my day on media, specifically social media websites like Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. Because I use media so much throughout my day, it makes me a lot more aware of what advertisers do to our minds. Recently on Snapchat, advertisers have put more ads on this social media app. Before, there were absolutely no ads but as I watch someone's story on it, ads for other apps begin to pop up. When I'm scrolling through my feed on Instagram, I notice how sneaky advertisers are. They put normal pictures on my feed that makes it look like I am following this person which causes me to actually like the photo and unknowingly read the description about this product. Also, on YouTube, there's almost an ad for a product before every video I watch. I never realized how ...
