Entry # 11 final reflexion



My experience blogging



              I had a great experience blogging in my course of English  102 , I can say this is the only thing i enjoyed in that class. as a new student in this course you will hear  a lot about blogging .lets start by defining the terminology. Blog is a tool that are used online to  update personal journal or diary , a place to express yourself, to share thoughts and idea and that action is called Blogging .
 

Before i know how to blog i was asking my self what would be a reason for people to blog you will probably have the same question. but After start blogging i realize that every person has a voice and they want to be heard . with impact of internet  , blogging is the best idea to reach the audience allover the world . it a good platform to communicate anyone's feelings or suggestion on a particular things .
 


Blogging comes with some challenges , is not easy to get on the internet and be fearless to post about personal life to the public.but people who blog are just regular people us who at first didnt know anything about blogging but later on it become their Hobby  




as a student blogging helped me  to learn about many things, from my classmate topics. it also helped them to know few things about me since i was so quite in class. blogging was useful  to express my self the way i wanted

Entry # 9 Media Synthesize


Media synthesize

 the past week in class our assignment  were more focused on media. since then i have been looking at the media closely  especially when it comes to different issue nationally. everyone always pick a side and try they best to convince other people that they influence. for example this clip from Fox news Bill O'Relly is doing her best to prove that black people are dangerous 


since we start talking about media in class , i been more critical and analyze more closely how the news are being  ,broadcast  i been seeing favoritism clearly to ward a group of people. last time i was watching the french news , after the Bataclant terrorist attack , my friend was so fast to put a blame on Syrian people it was all over the news but couple days later France went to bomb Syria no one spoke about it

Entry # 10 mass shooting

Mass shooting in the US

The US is an exceptional country when it comes to gun issue . other nations around the world to have the the problem of mass shooting and it seems like the decision is being taken lightly regarding that problem . since the binning of 2015 more then 3 mass shooting took place . just couple days more then 14 people lost their life in California San Bernardino , aurora colorado , charleston  S.C 














we need to wake up and realize that we need to restrict  the use of gun in or country .changing the idea of Right to bear arms to privilege to bear arms ,because most people with access to gun use it accurately

Entry # 8 Image of Muslim after 9/11/2001

Muslim After 9/11

 September 11/2001 a day that Americans will never forget in their life, a group of people connected with AL-Qaeda hijacked four airliners and carried out suicide in the United States. Two planes flown into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon near Washington, D.C



After this horrible action, most people in the US view Muslim as a terrorist only for the reason that the group of people who committed that action for their own reason are connected with the religion of Islam  


while watching some video on the internet i came across this videos which i think it was so interesting and sad at the same time how people are ignorant and quirk to judge

Entry extra credit America the Greatest Nation

                                       

The love story of Capitalism 


 I had of the word capitalism before in my economy class in high school in, the news, but have never went deep inside to find out what does this word truly mean. Let start by defining the word. Capitalism; is an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state. But after watching the movie Capitalism a love story by Film-maker Michael Moore I kinder get idea what it is. The film examine the impact of corporate dominance on everyday life of Americans. 


The sad part about this system and what i saw in the video was taking property away from people who worked had for years and years. sometime i think that might also be  the cause of some people robbing the bank as stated one of the victim in the video 
Further more those private owner don't even have answer to question regarding this system as Michael moor stood in front of  the New York stock exchange at wall street , wanted to know what  is Derivative mean none of them could answer that question

Entry # 6 My Experience

                                   Driving around the Valley 


On the weekend I had nothing to so we decided to drive around the valley of the sun known as Phoenix Arizona my friend and i went different places and find out about information that we didn't know we started by driving to north east (fountain hills what a beautiful place live only if you have money t that the bad part about it but it was good seeing huge mansion that i don't see in regular basis in central phoenix

 





After that we drove to Tucson which was a two hours drive but we didn't mind it was fun listening to music and talking about the current issue going on in the world , we stopped at Casa-grande a beautiful city . we  feel up Gas and buy some soft drink and food and hit the road 




Entry #5 Shorter classes









SUN DEVILS









I think the idea of having shorter class is very brilliant. even if  different people will argue differently about the idea. most student are attending school while working and setting up a schedule for both are sometime  though but with shorter classes , a student can focus on going to school for short period of time and when done he or she can focus on working .further more there  student who don't want to be in school longer the 4 year it will be an advantage for them to get done fast . and do something else .

    At the other hand this shorter classes wont beneficiary for other people like i said in the binning every one will have an opinion about this. for example shorter classes comes with too much home work project and more because the whole semester in squeezed  in a short period of time . if the time of a student is not well manage it will so hard for a student to succeed or benefit shorter classes

        But as a student who plan to attend A.S.U in the future , I am  strongly in favor of this idea because i don't want to go to school forever shorter class will fit me because  i will be flexible to take care of other things while i am  in school

Entry #4 The game Of soccer


Entry #4 The Game of soccer 

what is soccer The game of soccer -- more commonly referred to outside the United States as football -- has long been one of the most popular sports in the world. With origins that date back many centuries, soccer is played by young children, college students and professionals. Amateur clubs and weekend warriors add to the passion that swells up every four years for the most-watched sporting event in the world, the World Cup.





      History ,Although soccer's international governing body, the International Federation of Association Football, recognizes the birth of the modern game as 1863 in England, the deepest origins go back centuries. The Han Dynasty in the second century B.C. saw the emergence of a game similar to soccer called tsu' chu. Several centuries after that, the Japanese game Kemari began. Kemari was less competitive, with participants passing the ball from one another using their feet, trying to keep it from touching the ground. Much later, a violent town game emerged called mob football in Europe during the Middle Ages.




Players and boundary ,Eleven players, including the goalkeeper, are allowed on the field at one time for each team. These players must keep the ball in play on a rectangular field that measures between 100 and 130 yards in length and 50 and 100 yards in width.'


Entry # 3 Slanted Reporting

Entry # 3 Slanted Reporting 



let start by making clear what this word truly mean. Slant report, it basically giving more attention or support to a group of people or a particular person ,if an information or system is slant ,it is made to show favor toward some people .






                 While checking the news online , I found many website and article that focus only in one side of the information . its so important to always include the information or the opinion of the other side in order for audience to consider your source


the news I found so slanted was on Fox News how the reporter were informing audience about the no go zone in some city in the united kingdom and France

Entry # 1 Israel Alone


       Out of all the blogs i read, i really like the blog Israel Alone. for people who might not know. Israel is a middle eastern country located in Asia,Israel is looked by Muslim,Jews and christian as Holy land .its greatest sacred place are in Jerusalem's old city ,where you find Al Aqsa Mosque,church of the holy sepulchral and the temple Mount Dome of the Rock shrine. Israel shores border with five different Arabic Country.  









The blog Israel Alone , has really influenced me because the story spoken or talked in the blog has similarity to things that i have experienced in on way or another. I came from a country that as been in war for years and result innocent life loss . the two group who been fighting tried to sign cease fire but it never works. one group always violate it as mentioned in the blog at the other hand  the blog i  did not like is Disinformation , because today people are publishing information that the source doesn't have credibility .like first video about president Obamahttp://www.liveleak.com/view?i=363_1204256017 


The  Israel conflict is the  ongoing struggle between Israelis and Palestinians, two country that shares border. The conflict began in the mid-20th century http://www.wrmea.org/the-origins-of-the-israeli-palestinian-conflict.html
