Blog Post 9

  This blog post is about what I put on my social media, websites, and many online sources. I do not have any websites besides this blog which has this post and other posts for my Media, Law, and Literacy class. However, I do use Instagram and Snapchat very often, and I rarely use Facebook and Twitter. I use Instagram and Snapchat a lot because many people my age use those two very often. When I use Instagram, I post a lot about sports on my story, but I rarely post pictures on my Instagram for people to like and comment. When I use Snapchat, I do not really post on my Snapchat story that much but I do send pictures to other people to keep a streak going.
  Social media makes teens happy most of the time because it keeps them connected to their friends from far away. It is also very distracting to teens because it makes them not pay attention to important things in school. Many students go on social media when they are bored in class. It takes away an opportunity to learn something important and it wastes a lot of class time to work on a big assignment or project.

  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

Both of those websites have so many articles about the United States going to war against many different countries such as Afghanistan, England, Dubai etc.   The website antiwar.com has articles on the latest news about the United States going to war against many countries such as "US forces head to Saudi Arabia to defend oil," "Iraq's stability struggles amid US, Iran tensions," and "US defends attending Afghan farm laborers."
