News Sources

I typically get my news from Facebook, CNN, Instagram, Youtube, and Google. These news sources are easy for me to access. Since I hardly watch TV, these sites are readily available on my phone to look at. Most of my news comes from YouTube because I am always on there listening to music. As I listen to music, news stories will randomly pop up on my phone and depending on how interesting or relevant it may be I will tune in to listen to the news updates.

Facebook and Instagram are good sources as well because whenever I get on social media, I am guaranteed that someone will share news that has been going viral and it is interesting to read the story and the comments that people will make. When I go home, my dad is always watching CNN so I will get news updates from there. I also have the CNN news app on my phone so everyday I get news alerts. Also, since google is the search engine that I normally use, it is easy for me to always see news stories that are currently trending.

All of these news sources are very important. In this way you can verify what you are hear and determine which news is true or false. A lot of times when we are only focus on getting news from one source we might miss so information that is covered in another source. For example, Facebook and Instagram are social media platforms so I do not expect the news information to be detailed whereas, CNN, google, and YouTube have more detailed, credible information. Through these sources, we can stay current and informed about what is happening around the world and within our society.

Joseph Pulitzer

Joseph Pulitzer was a Hungarian-born editor and publisher. He lived there until early adulthood. While there he was educated by private tutors and even learned to speak German and French. He wanted to go into the army in Europe but was not accepted in. He came to the United States in 1864 and joined the Union army as a soldier. This was during the time of the US Civil War between the Northern and Southern states. After the war was over, he worked as a waiter, taxi driver, caretaker of mules then finally becoming a newspaper reporter. During that time, he was nominated for state legislature by the Republican Party. He won and fought against graft and corruption. In 1872, he bought the Saint Louis Post for 3000 dollars and sold a German paper for 20000 dollars. The profit helped him pay for law school and political activities. In these moments we can see that he developed his love for politics. He was also a very civic minded person. He showed a lot of concern for the public good and h...

Confidential Sources

Julian Assange has created a hole and problem for himself. He deserves to be put in jail and deserves to be extradited by the United States. First of all, Assange is not a US citizen so what is his business leaking classified information about the US government? There is not a government in the world that is perfect. But for Assange to go all out, just to expose the secrets of the US government is very cruel and can be very detrimental to the stability of the United States. What use is it to expose a secret but not find ways to solve the problems leading up to the issues? His behavior represents one of a tyrant who tries to cause war and division within a nation.  If the government did not put him in jail, he would cause the America people to lose trust and respect for the government. The government is there to protect the people but what use is it when people rise to fight the government? As long as the government is not violating a person’s human rights there is no reason to...

Free Transportation?

The country of Luxembourg is made public transportation free for the whole country. These public transportation include trains, buses, and trams. The goal is to limit the amount of cars that people ride in order to reduce traffic and pollution. Although it is one of the smallest countries in the world, they have a big traffic problem. The country is located between Belgium, France, and Germany. Therefore, almost 200,000 people come there from different countries each day. This means many people are driving from other countries since they are connected to one another. During the times when people drive to and from work have the most traffic jam. Therefore, free public transport is the solution to solve the traffic issues and decrease pollution. This solution is even more so better for the poor people. This is a good idea to help improve the issues the country is facing. But I feel like this takes away people's freedom from driving their own cars that they have worked to purchase. ...
