What have I learned?

I absolutely loved MCJ 102. It showed me all the things I thought I knew about journalism but I soon realized that I didn't know that much. The different ways writing for the media is something I didn't expect or think about. Either way learning about each individual part of media was so interesting. I knew they were all different but I never knew the extinct of their differences. I enjoyed learning what a broadcasting script was and  how to create. One day I aspire to be a TV anchor, therefore, seeing what I could one day be reading was very benefitting. I never new in scrips the sound of a word was over the spelling of one. People literally spell out words from the exact way it sounds. I also thought it was interesting how close the radio scripts were to TV.  I also enjoyed the print lecture. I learned the basic AP style for journalism rules.  I learned overall from taking this class that I want to keep going into this major. Last summer I was having small doubts on sti

Giving Plasma

College students are known to need money and most of the time they desire quick money. College students usually don't have time to pick up a full time job so getting quick and easy cash is almost a dream. Plasma clinics know this fact.  They also know people outside of college students that are looking for easy cash. These people are the poorer people in rural areas. This where the plasma set their location. They want to be around as many college or poorer people as they can. Plasma donor can make up to 75 dollars a donation.  Donating plasma sometimes is safe; however, over a period of time it can wear out the body.  They can have collapsed veins or it might take longer duration to find veins for donation, especially in people who regularly donate.  The donation center does not allow a patient to leave unless they are physically fit, and these conditions might make them stay back longer. The rates here start at $50 but $55 for students. The first few times you go but $25is

Unborn babies

An unborn baby should have just as many rights as a live one in my opinion. No baby should have suffer because of someone else. The question of legalizing abortion is stallion the media today even after all these years of constant debate of when a child is considered a child. The democratic candidates today are pro-choice. Hilary Clinton believes unborn babies don't have constitutional rights.  Bernie Sanders echoes this exact opinion. I believe unborn babies do because in the constitution it states all persons have the right to the constitution and unborn babies are persons in my opinion. When the constitution was written they probably didn't imagine anyone would actually question the rights of a baby. I can imagine during this time of the constitution something like abortion was not acceptable. Abortion is defiantly more likely to be illegal but the social aspect of it will forever be unacceptable. Socially abortion is known to be one of the top 5 uncomfortable conversati

Muslims today

Muslims in America are an incredibly diverse group, reflecting the variety inherent in a worldwide religion of over 1.6 billion followers. Many Muslims are born in the United States. Others are immigrants or the children of immigrants from dozens of countries.  Some are religious and attend mosque every week but others can be non practicing.  Some muslims are dark-skinned, others are light-skinned. Some Muslim women wear a head scarf, or hijab, as they call it, and others don’t. As a people we can not judge a whole group just because one specific small group did something wrong.  The diversity recognized in the Christian or Jewish American communities is also reflected in the Muslim American community. Recent headlines about Islamic extremist attacks in Syria, Paris and San Bernardino, Calif., along with nasty comments from some presidential candidates targeting muslims. This has raised anti muslim to an extreme since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.  We just need to

Presidential Election 2016

This Presidential election is absolutely embarrassing. The constant attention given to Donald Trump is ridiculous. The media literally has enhanced all his fans. People are posting and blogging all of the crazy stuff he says so that everyone can constantly see him.  Some see the post as jokes but some actually can see him in the white house. Ted Cruise and Donald are going head to head with the race for the republican spot. Hilary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are the only two running for the democratic spot. John Kerry even talks about how  Donald Trump and Ted Cruz talk a lot about different national and international policy issues — like wanting to ban Muslims from coming into the country or increasing patrols in Muslim neighborhoods.  This is not the American way in my opinion or at least it shouldn't be. We used to represent the place for peace and freedom. Since this election has started I have never felt so let down. It just doesn't sit right with me how w
