Blog Post 11

  In my Media, Law, and Literacy class on Tuesday, the whole class was divided into groups of five. Each group did a presentation about different kinds of media. For this blog post I have to write about a topic about something I learned from another team's presentation. One topic that interested me was when a student from group 4 talked about net neutrality. Net neutrality stood out to me. It is where people are able to access all websites on the internet and no websites are blocked. I really like the idea of net neutrality. I do not like it when some websites are blocked and many people not able to use them. Back when I was in High School, I brought my computer to school, and many websites were blocked when I was at school. I was able to access them when I was at home. I am not sure why the websites were blocked. But now that I am in college, High Point University did not block any website, and I am able to access any website whenever I want to.
  In conclusion, I really like net neutrality. I like the idea that everybody should access any website they want and need.

  In the class Communications 1450 Media Law and Literacy, I learned about many things. I learned about the first amendment, and how we all have the right to state our own opinions. I also learned about the history about technology and we compared it to how we used it in the olden days with how we use it now. In the olden days, people used different technology than we use now. For example, people used to listen to music through video cassette tapes. Now we stopped listening to cassette tapes and we listen to music through our smartphones and computers. People have the right to post their opinions on social media on social media.   One article I found that was about the first amendment is, " Elizabeth Warren proposes taxing first amendment rights ." In this article, 2020 presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren wants to tax people who are lobbying. I really do not like that idea. It is not fair that she is taxing people who are expressing their own opinions. Everybody has diff

  For this blog post, I will be writing about Alternative media. Based on the article Top 10 Alternative Media list by Adam Rosszay, one quote says, "Alternative media are forms of media that differ from the current established mainstream, whether it be by content, format, or distribution." This quote says that alternative media is different from mainstream media. Mainstream media is the media that you see on TV like CNN News, BBC News, NBC News, Fox News, Sky News, etc. Many people get the important news from mainstream media.   Another quote from that article says "In today’s society, anyone can have a platform from the comfort of their own homes, a luxury that was not available before the internet and modern technology. This is a huge benefit, because more people can research news that is important to them without being corrupt, and then spread the word. However, it also leads to an overflow of information, not all of which is high quality." This quote talks
