Manipulation of SOA !

The SOA, which is the School of Americas, is a program that trains soldiers with many different techniques such as sniper training and psychological warfare. The United States should not be able to operate such an organization. The program could cause future problems to the U.S. because other leaders and people from the countries may get angry and want to rebel. It encourages the soldiers that are trained to things like being able to massacre, assassinate and rape others. They even force people into to refugee, which should not be allowed. Shouldn't you be allowed to choose what you would like to do with your future ? Why cause more problems with other countries ? I feel that the SOA is a unnecessary organization, that the U.S. shouldn't condone.

Yellow Journalism and it's flaws !

The burning of the curran is a perfect example of exploiting a certain situation and making it bigger than what it really was . All of the news reporters made this one of the top headlines. People from different areas where even going to take the time to visit for this event that was morally uncalled for. News stations such as CBS made this a huge deal and announced it to the world. It became such a popular topic that even in my high school was buzzing about the situation. Almost every class that I had been too was discussing this event. This relates to how yellow journalism was used in the Spanish American War because the press had driven this war and made it a bigger situation then what it had originally been.

Blogging is Better !

 Blogging is better than just having to use paper and pen. When blogging you get the opportunity to share all of your thoughts and you get the option to write about different topics that are discussed in class or about things that have to do with history. I think it is an easier and more efficient way than having to use paper and pen. If I had to just use paper and pen, I wouldn't be as motivated to write about the topics that were given. Also, when we have to add a picture to our blogs to help describe or show what the topic is about it is faster than having to draw something out or even having to print and paste it on to your writings.

Number One Topic !

My favorite topic of the first quarter would have to be when we had to blog about why are stereoypes widely known by so many in society. This was the best topic to blog about to me because I got to express my opinion on a situation that I knew a lot about. I also enjoyed this topic because it is something that is going on today in society and I believe it should be changed for many reasons. It was also a easy topic for me to write about because we had also went over the topic in class.

Ellis Island

When looking at the pictures of Ellis Island I realized many things . It seemed as if many of the immigrants were happy to come to the United States but were scared of what may occur or what might happen with their lives once they got to the U.S. They may have been happy because they have reached a place that they would have more opportunities in but they would have been scared or overwhelmed because many other people were trying to come to the same area. This would of probably been a situation that they alll had mixed emotions with.

Exhaustion

The textile factory workers had to work harder than usual. After hearing the lyrics of the "Song of the Shirt" it showed that the workers had lots of things to accomplish. The workers fingers would be weary and worn from working so much in the factories.They probably did not have time to spend with family or even time to do things they enjoyed. The song also describes the horrible conditions that the factory workers had to deal with such as working in poverty, hunger and dirt. They would not get time to be on break to eat  lunch as many workers do today. They had to work in unsanitary conditons, and until their eyes were heavy and red. Overall the conditions they had to work in were probably the worst that anyone would ever have to deal with.
