Extra Credit Blog for Entry 2

The video on Michael Moore's A love Story was about Capitalism. The video had some good contents and then other times it was hard to follow. One thing that I got out of it is that the rich get richer. The people put taxes on the rich so we can have nicer things in this world. Some  of the people that were sneaky enough to do that under the table blows my mind. I don't remember what their names were but that some worked for Wall Street. It also amazes me that the FBI isn't involved in any of it to see how greedy this people are. Another thing that was crazy is the judge that saw the juvenile kids and didn't even care what they had to say about their case because as the judge sent them to the rehab/prison he would be getting money for it. Lots of money too. I hope to learn more about Capitalism in discussion because there are still some things to be learned.

Entry # 6 Thanksgiving Decoration

Some people are super creative at decorating their houses for each season. People go all out on some seasons like they do for Christmas. For October they can do all kinds of scary things to decorate with. For February people can decorate with all types of hearts. There is all different kinds of things you can do for the seasons. I'm going to talk about something you can do for Thanksgiving. I wont talk about decoration you can do for the month of November because there are so many of them, but a simple thing you can do for Thanksgiving feast.


1. Get a couple mason jars. You are going to be putting eating utensils in them, so how many people you are having for Thanksgiving can help you decide how many utensils you want to put in the mason jars.
2. Fill the jars with candy corn about 1/3 full. Set your utensils in the jar with the candy corn.
3. If you want to add ribbon around the jar, like orange, yellow, or brown to match the seasons colors you can.

A little festive thing you can bring for Thanksgiving.



Entry #5 ASU

Arizona State University is talking about offering shorter class periods in a 7 week course instead of 15. Which isn't all that bad of an idea depending on what kind of person you are. If you like classes that work at a faster pace then why not have the opportunity to take them. If online classes are offered at a shorter pace, then on campus classes should also. For people that would like to graduate early they can have the chance to, with a shorter class period. It can even help your schedule if you want to take some 7 week classes and 15 week classes. There are options to go about doing it, you don't have to take just 7 week classes or 15 week classes, you have the option to choose. Not everyone is going to agree with the ideas that people have, some will hate it and some will love it. If its helpful to students, then it shouldn't matter what others think. College is about what schedule fits into students, and if shorter classes can help benefit them, then why not. It's all about peoples preference, and if the shorter classes are offered then it won't affect anyone. If it's offered doesn't mean you have to take it, just an option for students that might want to. It is a good idea to offer shorter classes for people that want to take them.

Entry #4 November where did you come from?

Like all of us are thinking, November you came way to fast. I don't even know what happened to October, but once we start getting into the seasons I feel like they all become a blur. They happen so fast sometimes we don't take the time to actually enjoy them. One cool thing that you can do for November is buy or make completely up to you, a Give Thanks Board. There is a little pocket for every day of the Month and you can fill out on a piece of paper what you are thankful for, just for that day. Then you can progressively do it throughout the month. It is a good way to give thanks for what we have in this world. It can be a friendly reminder that we are lucky to have what we have and shouldn't compare ourselves to what others have. The month of November is all about giving thanks. Being able to say one nice thing every day, will make you a thankful person by the end of the month. I will put a picture of a giving thanks board so you can get an idea of what they look like. You can even create your own to make it original and how you want it to be.

Entry #3 News Analysis

This article was about a man that stabbed one his friends for eating the last piece of chicken it makes me think that the news just gathered the little information and wrote about it. They weren't very thoughtful as to who reported it but just said "the Police said" and not who the actual person was who thought that. Were they a detective, or maybe it was a police officers first day on the job and that's just what he assumed about the scene. The guy might of stabbed his friend because he had anger management or maybe he was having a mental breakdown and became violent. The news doesn't tell us that maybe something was going on with the guy, just that he did something horrible. The audience now will view him as a bad guy, when in reality we don't know the full story, just the short version of it. There is always two sides to a story and more information that we will know. The news just gives us the gist of the story, so we don't have time to think about our opinion we are just agreeing with what is being said. Because it is a news cite people will believe it, but we don't really know what type of police officers were on the scene. We also don't know what kind of people were involved with the crime, we know nothing about them, just what the news says. The credibility cant be reliable because we don't know who the reporter is and if we can trust them. Below I will put a link of the article if you wish to check it out.
