Blog Post #6: Anti-War

Powerful Anti-War Statements From Peaceful People Of Faith | HuffPost Religion






   

In today's time there are a lot of things going on and it’s good to see that throughout history there are a lot of people that strongly encourage pacifism and are proud to say that they are part of an anti-war movement. The media and news stations are not shy about making people aware of the different wars that are happening. Especially in the United States you can make one Google search and you can gain more insight on how currently there are civil wars in countries like Somalia, Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Russia and sadly many more. Throughout all of that the goal still remains the same anti-war activists demand change and are pressuring the government to end a particular conflict with the hope of preventing a war. 

Anti-war voices never appear on the mainstream news, I wonder why that is? Personally I believe that is because more conflict is enforced rather than infiltrating tranquility in this world that desperately needs it. Thankfully we do have things like the National Security Strategy and the website Antiwar.com that promote better stability. Also you can even research back in time to an organized anti-war movement that came into action because of the Vietnam War. Seminars, tech-ins and rallies were created by college students for the purpose of pacifism. But we shouldn't have to do research to find out that there are strong voices that are making an effort to prevent conflict. 

In this world we have to learn to stick together more, because that is the only thing that is going to keep the world better. To have a stronger world for ourselves and children who are beginning to actively learn and understand the society that we live in. Transformative change needs to be a top priority in the mainstream news addressing more solutions to world wide conflicts that we are informed about. Peace is ultimately the most important thing on earth as it is a necessity for survival and productivity.

Blog Post #8: Gatekeeping

The gatekeeping theory arose in 1943, originated by a German American social psychologist named Kurt Lewin. He developed this concept and it focuses on personal perception and how one should operate to better understand the world that they are living in. To do that Lewin would have to understand the mental, physical and social aspects of a person's life. By conversing with people frequently to acknowledge their desires, memories and goals. This concept was first utilized in the field of social psychology and basic psychology and later became a method in the field of communications. Which now in today’s time is a very essential theory because of the variety of mass publication technology. Gatekeeping is an important concept that can be used in communication studies as a foundational theory.  There is good that comes from the gatekeeping theory, it's simply a method of mass communication from data decision makers who are at a high level. This can be people in the line of work as

Blog #2: Protecting Our Privacy

Technology is something that I believe is safe to say, here to stay. Which is not a bad thing but when it comes to our privacy online everyone needs security. The true problem is that not everyone is aware of what is going on and it also seems that the people that know somewhat of the issue with privacy, hackers are getting more creative. It is great to be able to have a web source where you can search anything and there are all types of apps that can help you with something to make life easier. Another problem is the terms and conditions are not understandable and what we search on a web source and put our personal information into is not always private. Some of the issues discussed in the Ted Talk videos have affected me, and some have not. There are simply some apps that I don't trust because I feel my personal information is not going to be safe. The government should be putting stronger laws in place to protect our personal privacy. By joining us in protecting our data in how
