1. I had a hard time with my wiki space page. My project looked a lot better in the word document than it did on the wiki space page. I feel as if it was hard for me to use, difficult to upload pictures and I never figured out how to upload my video properly. I enjoyed the project though. I liked being able to express myself on the page about what i enjoyed over the semester. I just wish I would have known how to use the website better.
2. When reading The 17 Qualities of an Effective Leader I have decided my strongest quality in leadership was being committed. When I do something in life, I am always committed. I never give up on what I am doing, and always go through with what ever I many volunteer myself to do. I am a very committed person. Every sport I play or have played in the past I have been very committed. I showed up at every practice, gave it my all and gave it my all during my games and matches. I was committed physically and mentally. Even on days off of practice and games I would practice on my own time. Weather it was playing volleyball on the beach, hitting balls at the driving range or even at the batting cages. I feel as if I need some improvement in other areas. I feel like I need to improve at being communicative. I tend to hide my feelings from others and tend to deal with them on my own. Talking about my problems and feelings to another person may help the way I am feeling, and make me feel a lot better during my day. I do agree. Most of these qualities I do see in leaders. Nobody could be a leader without having these qualities.
3. I enjoyed a lot of topics covered in this course. I especially enjoyed learning about media and how it portrays stereotypes. I didn't realize the "big six" companies owned so many smaller companies. That was interesting to me. I wish we could have learned more about using the Internet. I feel as if the Internet is a main part of our lives today and many people aren't very good at using it.

Lyrics that talk to you
Oh her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day
Yeah I know, I know
When I compliment her
She wont believe me
And its so, its so
Sad to think she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me do I look okay
I say
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
Her lips, her lips
I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates but I think its so sexy
She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day
Oh you know, you know, you know
Id never ask you to change
If perfect is what you're searching for
Then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking
If you look okay
You know I say
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
The way you are
The way you are
Girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
These lyrics are compelling to me because I feel as if every girl would like to hear something like this from their boy friend, and it really isn't something we hear very often. Listening to this song makes me think of my boy friend and when he says nice things like that to me. This song makes me happy, and I start to think about happy things instead of bad things.
When I hear this song it makes me think of my boy friend and that makes me smile. I love it when he says nice things like that to me. It makes my day. Sometimes he will mess around and sing it to me to make me smile, so when I hear this song, it reminds me of when he sings it to me and automatically makes me happy. I am sure when most girls hear this song they automatically think of their boy friends or husbands and start to smile and become happy. This song most likely plays a positive roll on may lives.
There is many different types of music out in the world. Everyone has their favorite type of music. There is music that fits just about every holiday, and songs that can just be played on a regular daily basis. Music is composed in very many different ways and moods. Happy people most likely enjoy happy up-beat music and sad and depressed people are most likely able to relate to sad and depressing music. There is certain music out to motivate certain people and some music out in the world to help others relax. There are so many different types of music and so many different types of people in the world. There is something out there for everyone.

The Big Six
I have never realized all these smaller companies are really part of one big company. I was surprised at what companies owned which television shows and surprised at some of the companies that owned certain websites. A disadvantage at only having six companies in charge of all of this is that many ideas could be different if it was broken down in to a lot more smaller companies. There would be more jobs available for others, and probably many more creative minds and different television shows out. I feel as if the Big Six controls all of the media seeing there really isn't any other companies or anyone else that has any say in what happens, unless they are part of one of the Big Six companies. One of my predictions was right on the activity, my other prediction was off. It is hard to tell which company is in charge of what, seeing many of them deal with the same types of media. What stood out in the activity for me were where I placed somethings thinking I was right, but really I was way off on my guesses. I really enjoyed this activity, I defiantly learned a lot I didn't know. I never really knew the Big Six existed.
Many people are out in the streets watching teens and interviewing them. Some interviewers even pay teens to interview them to see what is "cool" and what isn't "cool" at the time. They like to see what teens do on their free time, and what they wear. They may ask them what they like and why, and what they don't like and why to get ideas so create things teenagers will spend their money on. I feel like many teens get their dressing and much of their attitude off television. They see something that looks good or looks fun on television and decide to copy that, thinking it is the ideal way they should be. This happens all of the time and shows that television is only reflecting the real world "media is only a mirror."

The Desensitizing of America - Violence on TV
1. I don't think television has anything to do with poverty. I could see how it may have an impact on children and how aggressive they are. I don't think television has an impact on a childs personality fully though. Television isn't the only thing impacting on a childs life. It could impact a lot, but not as much as their parents, family and friends. Televison doesn't impact a whole school making it a bad school. I could have a slight impact on how aggressive a person is, but it really doesn't impact everyone the same way. Someone may look at the aggressive behavior on television seeing as if it is wrong, and try to avoid it, and not participate in violent behavior. Others may think it is okay to act in the behavior shown on televison.
2. I feel as if violene is interesting to many people. It is a big reason why many people spend time to watch televison. I fell like violent video games, movies and T.V. shows have been becoming very popular. I think people like the feeling they get by watching these things, and feel like it never gets old and anything can happen. I feel like as many promotions are right about violence, once you see something start to happen you have to continue watching.

Is Mainstream News Dead?
I feels as if the news is dead. I feel like the news puts a lot of things out there without having enough information to back it up. The news just puts things up there to have something to talk about to keep you watching. Many times people see thing same things on the news over and over waiting for the story to be updated with new information.
I don't believe or get attached to much shown on the news. They always come up with interesting stories to report, and make a big deal about them. I feel like a lot of the information is just made up of assumptions. The news tends to report the few things they do know about the topic over and over again until people are sick of seeing it.
I feel like it is hard to keep a teenagers attention for long. I can't pay attention long when watching the news. I feel like it is more interesting to watch something that makes me laugh when still giving me the facts. I feel like The Daily Show is popular for that reason. It gives you the facts while still being interesting; keeping your attention, and making you laugh.

Visual Literacy
For the Outside magazine someone from the Outside magazine company created the image. I couldn't read everything on the magazine cover because most of it wasn't legible. Outside magazine was the source.
The man on the cover looks a little older. They probably photo edited the gray out of his hair, and enhanced his skin tone. I feel like the main focus was on his face. On the front cover it mentions age, so I am guessing that is why the main focus was on his face. I feel like the gray in his hair and some of his wrinkles are probably missing, seeing there aren't many. The photo doesn't really effect my emotions and how I am feeling. I feel like for the most part this image does appear truthful seeing they didn't edit all of the wrinkles out of his face, still making it look like he is his age.
For the magazine cover with Britney Spears, someone in Japan must have created the cover seeing I can't read it. The source is also someone in Japan. Britney's skin tone was defiantly changed. No superstar is that pale in the United States. In Japan they like the look of pale skin so I am guessing that is why they lightened it. The color and lighting must have been altered a bit to help make her skin tone pasty, and look good with the rest of the light colored images and pictures on the cover. Britney's face appears largest in the picture seeing she is the main focus in the magazine. The rest of Britney's body is missing in the picture. i feel as if they probably altered the shape of her body and things on her face. This image does not effect my emotions at all seeing they edited her a lot to make her look like that, and I don't even think that is a good picture of her. This image does not seem very truthful to me. I feel like a lot of it has been edited.
For the magazine cover of Zac Efron, a photographer from GO magazine must have taken it. The source is GO magazine. I am guessing they probably edited Zacs skin tone to make him look tanner. The angle and lighting of this picture make his body look small, and his head look big. Zacs head looks the largest in this picture. My interpretation of this picture is either he has a huge head, or they wanted to make sure everyone knew he was on the cover, because it is definently eye catching. It looks like half of Zacs body weight is missing. He looks way skinnier than usual. When I look at this photo, I laugh. That is how it effects my emotions. No ones head is that big with a body that small. This image does not appear truthful to me seeing his proportions are way off.
After viewing these photos I feel as if it is important that people know all magazine covers are edited, and no one in real life really does look like that. If someone wasn't aware that these photos have been edited, bad things could happen. A lot of eating disorders could end up happening when wanting to be as thin as some of these ladies on the covers. At photo shoots lighting is always being changed. Computer editors are always changing photos weather it is skin tone, removing parts of the body, or even removing baby bumps. This is completely wrong. They make these people out to look a lot different than they really do, sometimes making them look like not even the person they are. This isn't fair to the people being photographed or the people looking at and buying the magazine.

Brick Walls
1. My parents seem to keep me on track and make sure I'm headed down the right path. They know what I want in my life and keep me from making bad decisions. My boy friend Ryan also is there telling me what he thinks is the right and wrong thing to do. He knows what I want to get out of my life and helps me stay away from things that would throw me off the track I am headed down.
2. I am glad my friend Alyssa shares her opinions and is a very open and honest person. What she has talked to me about and has said to me has kept me from making some bad decisions. Having good friends like this is a very helpful thing. Knowing they care about you and don't want you doing stupid things makes you re-think before you act.
3. When I make a mistake in my life my dad tends to lecture me on why it was wrong, and tell me stories about when he messed up as a teenager and the consequences he faced. I always felt like he was telling me these stories thinking I am interested but now that I think about it, he is telling me to help me out and stay away from mistakes he has made because he doesn't want me going through what he did.

Politics 2.0
1. President Obama's campaign was more successful, even on YouTube. I feel as if many would rather watch videos on YouTube because it is more convenient that way, and a lot easier to view. Obama had 1.9 billion views and McCain had 1.1 billion views. Obama also had more videos. It is surprising that 39% of voters did view campaign related videos online during the election. I feel as if using YouTube is a great way to express what needs to be said. Doing this saves a lot of money, and it is a lot more "straight to the point". YouTube is a great and cheap way to advertise things that need to be said.
2. YouTube has changed political elections in the United States by being able to view campaign videos online, and being able to view them when this is needed. YouTube makes politics more convenient for people with busy lives, without time to watch what is on the news. I feel as if this is a very positive thing. Without having YouTube viewing these videos wouldn't be as easy. A lot more people end up viewing these videos when on YouTube then just on the news. Having these videos available on YouTube is convenient for everyone. Having YouTube is very positive, cheap and effective way to express what needs to be said.

Law & Technology
Most people have been involved in cyberbullying. Wheather they are the ones being picked on, or they are the cyberbully themselves. I think it is wrong to bully others, especially if it is through some type of text. Cyberbullying affects many people everyday. The consequences aren't strict enough. Some of the victims of cyberbullying end up killing themselves because they can't take it anymore. Nothing is worth making someone kill themselves. I just don't see what people get out of it. I am glad some laws on cyberbulling have passed in some states and I think everyone should pass laws on this issue.
I feel as if the most common way of communication now a days is through a cell phone. Many people text message everyday. I feel like if anything needs to be monitered it needs to be text messages. Many people every day send inappropriate things, and say bad things to others. I feel as if this is to be caught happening there should be a strict punishment so it starts to happen less often.

Ethical Behavior
Plagiarism is a lot easier to do now days. There is a lot more information out in the world, and a lot more resources to get it from. Things have changed a lot. Twenty five years ago plagiarism wasn’t as easy seeing they didn’t have computers and the internet to just search something and copy it down. I feel like a lot of people plagiarize without even being fully aware they are doing it. Sometimes there isn’t an author on the article, and the person doesn’t give credit to the information they are taking, and don’t realize they are doing something wrong.
I feel as if schools can’t do much about this. Students plagiarize all of the time, and sometimes they don’t realize they are doing it. I feel as if there was something to prevent this problem, it would have already taken action in schools and other places plagiarism happens. The only thing that really can be done, is making a more strict punishment if a person is caught plagiarizing.

Fear and Privacy
Seventh Grade Student Suspended
Seventh grade students were suspended for writing bad things about their teacher online. I think suspending these students was totally wrong. We all have freedom of speech, so we should be able to say whatever we want about another person. Suspending these students was totally wrong. The article didn't tell me exactly what the students said, so I can't really say much more than the punishment wasn't right, and people just need to get over things when bad things are said about them. As long as what the students were saying wasn't a threat, I don't see a point in making a big deal about it.
Teacher Disiplined for Facebook Use
I understand saying things mean aren't right. I just don't think getting in trouble for saying "I'm feeling pissed because I hate my students" is a reason to get in trouble. People express themselves all of the time. They think the same thoughts that they post, they don't get in trouble for thinking about it, but they get in trouble for posting it? I just think there isn't a reason to get in trouble for expressing your feelings. As long as what is being said isn't threatening another person, I don't see a reason to freak out about it, and get someone else in trouble.
Many Employees Disciplined for Facebook Posts
Some people just need to think before they post. I understand that how you act outside of work and online represents your company or job, but it also doesn't at the same time. The way people act outside of work doesn't always mean that is how they act when they are working. As long as no one is being threatened and important information about the company/job aren't given out online.
Recent Case Differ on Wheater Students Should be Disiplined
I fell as if these students took the dislike of others a little too far. I understand they wanted to express how they felt about this person, but posting it online isn't always the right way. When I have a problem with another person, I go up to them and tell them. I don't sit there and make a Facebook page about it. I think suspending them for ten days was a little too much. Writing an apology is the right thing to do, but being suspended for ten days isn't a good punishment. Having to make an apology is a lot more of an effective punishment. Some people just need to learn to think before posting things online, especially about other people.
Seventh grade students were suspended for writing bad things about their teacher online. I think suspending these students was totally wrong. We all have freedom of speech, so we should be able to say whatever we want about another person. Suspending these students was totally wrong. The article didn't tell me exactly what the students said, so I can't really say much more than the punishment wasn't right, and people just need to get over things when bad things are said about them. As long as what the students were saying wasn't a threat, I don't see a point in making a big deal about it.

What If?
Without the Internet life wouldn't be as easy. Finding information on a topic would take a lot more time than just being able to pull something up on the Internet. Without the Internet to find out information, you would need to go to a library and check out books on the topic. This would take a lot more time and it would be a lot harder to find the answers you are looking for. Communicating with others across the word wouldn't be as easy as just sending out a quick e-mail or IM. You would need to write letters, or give them a call which isn't always easy.
Without the Internet life would be a lot different. It would take a lot more time to do things you need to get done. Doing a report is a lot easier when having access to the Internet, than reading a book. One of the good things would be people wouldn't be so caught up on Facebook and things online, and would actually get to spend more time with one another.
If the United States decided to shut down the Internet, many lives would be affected. Many Americans access the Internet every day. A lot of people would be very upset about this decision. This would affect many jobs, and i feel like a lot of people would go crazy, and decide to move to Canada.
