Pride and Glory what a good name for a movie that represents the great NYPD and all they stand for. I just want to first state that the movie was very good and very entertaining. It showed a different side of the police force at hand and how corrupt police officers would be thinking during something like this. I’m sure the true meaning behind this movie was not a mash on the police department of the NYPD but as I have learned not just through this class but through other experiences is people take things in different perspective and influence is very powerful. What do I mean by this? I mean as I went through blogs online about the movie there were several people who think that many of the precincts in New York City are corrupt. Now I’m sure there is corruption in the New York police system but you know what, it’s everywhere as well. Not just New York. Blogging is a new system online now for people to put down their thoughts and feeling about things and it’s a very depressing thing to read sometimes. Every blog that I read there are some people who appreciate the topic but for the most part there are more people that hate the topic and just want to trash it. An example would be the Nashville Tennessee flooding. I read some blogs on the yahoo website and so many people on there were complaining on how the government is getting more involved and that there should be more people trying to help this city. In high site, it takes a lot more strategy and time to come up with a plan for this type of situation. The community just goes off what they read in headings and articles and that’s what throws them off into hating the system. I use the blogging as a source because in some cases it may be useful but in other and most cases the community is responding to a topic that has happened or will happen and turn it into so many
