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.

This means normal work life has been affected and consumer consumption has gone down. Apple, the iPhone company, is also being affected because they have seen a decline in iPhone sales. Apple had to temporarily close their manufacturing site to ensure that the health and well being of their employees are taken care of. Thankfully, all iPhone manufacturing site have been opened in China but they are still experiencing supply "shortage of the phone globally." This also means Apple will not be meeting their revenue guideline for the March quarter. It's interesting to know that a disease outbreak in a country has the ability to affect the the economy of a national company. This helps me to under...

The Founding Ideals

In 1801 John Marshall became the first chief justice of the Supreme Court. He helped to increase the power/prestige of the Court by granting it the right to interpret the constitution. During this time, the Court gained a lot of respect and we still see it today. The Courts power to defend the constitution and make fair decisions, governs the US to function in an orderly manner. However, we find that in history there was a time where the authority of the Court was weakened. Chief Justice Roger Brooke Taney ruled that the court had no power to ban slavery and that blacks cannot be citizens. This led to the need for amending of the constitution after the civil war. The constitution was amended to abolish slavery, define citizenship, and grant voting rights. Just as the original bill of rights was there to protect citizens against federal power, the 14 th amendment represents the 2 nd bill of rights that protects citizens from excess state power. It made sure that due process of law c...
