Zeitgeist

When i began to watch the video i was actually pretty interested in it. I thought that by things tasha wrote about in her entry it would very interesting. My notion of the video was right in the beggining of the film. They were saying how the mass media has gained most control over society. The fact that they mentioned that the government wants to limit our educaion felt true because i see it happening. The U.S is one of the lowest ranked countrys in education, i mean why? The funny is that most students complain that there is so much homework and that school is hard when compared to other places around the world we're not. I was in awe to hear that 9/11 was planned by the government. Although i've heard a statment like this before its hard for me to just buy into it. The fact that this video brought it up and put audio evidence is a bit weird. This is as if the gov. keeps us limited and controlled, which i don't know why i just said that because i guess it makes sense if they do. The government can't tell us everything because we'll go a bit crazy, society can't handle very important top secret things.
I have never heard of the North American Union, but by this time the narrators in the film were getting pretty biased. The news channel in the film that showed clips of video and audio is also biased and at this point i began to tune myself out. It was getting extremely obvious that this film was doing the exact same thing the media does...try to persuade the audience into believing hat they're saying.
I was indeed interested in learning of this union and how there will be a new currency which will in turn affect everyone. I also wasn't very fond of hearing that we're going to have a world government. But, i plan on finding out for myself instead of just hearing it from another source.
I guess the director of the film got what he wanted. : )

Stinky Priorities

The title above is the title for my first journal. I even pasted part of Tasha's blog on mine. I don't know what happened, I submitted it before finishing it.

Sorry~ lol

If you have had a blog in the past, your own, or for another class, then I challenge you to examine, question and analyze your experience with having a blog. Consider why you had one, how it made you feel, and how you manipulated the security settings for your own sense of security. Consider changes you may make. Consider how writing a blog may have helped or hindered your writing ability

When first getting a blog I was deeply excited for having one. I had been thinking of getting on online system to express mythought in the form of poems, letters, ideas, etc. I was so thrilled to know that my english professor had us create our own that i wrote an entry even before we were assigned one. But as the semester when on, i got consumed with so many other assignments and activities that i started to loose interest in the blog. I couldn't really concentrate or come with meaty contents for my journal entries. I became dissapointed because i thought i was getting a bit rusty in writing my own thoughts.

This semester i plan on managing time better in general. Dwelling into my assignments will allow me to connect with them easier. The security setting on my blog is now changed to "Anybody" can read my blog instead of just the students in my fig. I do hope students start to comment on each others blog, everyone has a lot to say if they take this journal writing seriously.

Time management you can say is one of my "New Year Resolutions."
