Question Of The Day- Occupy

1. What do you think the “Occupy Wall Street” and other “Occupy” protests are about? What do the protesters want?

According to yes magazine they are trying to you show that the 99% can be powerful actors and that we can come together around our own vision for the world we want. ( 99% It refers to the vast concentration of wealth among the top 1% of income earners compared to the other 99%, and indicates that most people are paying the price for the mistakes of a tiny minority.)


2. Who are the protesters? Describe who you think is protesting.


I think protesters are the ones who have lost their jobs and the others are the ones that support the cause of the 99% movement. And in my opinion is that most of the people there are people suffering from taxes and the economy.

3. Do you support or oppose this movement, and why?

I approve this movement because people are suffering and all they are asking for is help but what they get is pain for exercising their right to protest for something they see is a problem. I really don't approve of the way the government is  handling these protests.

4. Read one article in favor of and one article opposing the Occupy protests. Look on C-Span or CNN for these articles, and write down the links to each article.

Pirating is a big and uprising problem that is being discussed by us because there are many different perspectives of what the level of seriousness this should be taken as.

I personally believe its a problem but but its not a big enough problem to make a great deal of it even though the artist might not make the amount they would have but they still make more than most people in America.

Week 7-for wens-day

The first thing i will do when class starts on wednesday is check the class blog ; http://db.verlongmedia.com/  I will be writing a short script for the first project using the pictures. It will be about a contempory isseu i feel strongly aout.

Week 7 Due Process

Due process is when you are given a fair and speedy trial.

Amanda was given a ruff for the most part fair trial she was accused without incriminating evidence but in the end was tried and found not guilty by her peers.  I think this could have been avoided with by just looking at the lack of evidence.

Al-Awlaki was a certified American citizen and was assassinated over a assumption but there was no real evidence to incriminate him but the U.S. Army used a missle to kill him but in the process there were to other americans killed. But this was not right to do because he was not given due process.

Question of the Day: Facebook Law

What are the reasons why this is a good idea?

•  This could be a good idea because in this day and age Facebook is a major way of communication and students as well as teachers use this site. So the ability to discuss assignments and future tests and even getting help with homework. With this being said the use of Facebook could actually have more of a positive influence than a negative.

What are the reasons why this is a bad idea?

• Teachers using Facebook could be horrible because not all people have the same intent as wholesome people. Its sad to think that we have to actually have to even question are teachers but people now a days to many scary things have happen. So with that being said Facebook shouldn't be used as a communication choice for students and teachers.

What is your opinion after gathering facts on this issue and discussing it with your classmates?

• After discussing with my companions in class I would have to say that I cant decide on which I think is best for people. Both have very good facts backing both sides.
