“Remember that feeling of bedtime when you were a little kid”? Grabbing that favorite toy who was the first and best sleeping buddy particularly during those times when nights were the scariest. Meanwhile, mom and dad warmly tucked the covers in showing love and security while snuggling in white linens and a cozy blanket that surrounded the bed with warmth. Mom and dad say their last goodnights and dimmed the lights, as head laid to pillow, that is when all felt right at home. These days parents should be determined to keep their child safe at all times. Now, they can!

    Charles Spurgen Johnson was the son of Charles Henry Johnson a Baptiste minister. They were pretty much lucky to be a little more upper class .Charles Spurgen witnessed a lynching at twelve years of age from intoxicated white men. He watched how his father stood alone brave and didn’t feel threatened he was a role model for his son as well as many other African American. This line stood out to me from the reading “Muse” “Johnson thus grew up with both a deep hatred of racial injustice and an understanding of the limits of individuals bravery in confronting it”. This part stood out to me because most African Americans weren’t brave enough to stand up for there right the they feel they were beneath these people. As far as his son…

    This Presidential ticket is widely considered the worst in United States history. Many people are criticizing almost everything either candidate does. One one side you have a bigoted racist in Trump. On the other side, and marginally considered the better candidate of the two main parties is an untrustworthy, criminal in Clinton. What other options do you have? None, until you you look at the Libertarian candidate, Gary Johnson. I believe that, although unlikely, he has a chance to win. He would be a better president than Trump or Clinton because his stances on economics, immigration, and foreign policy make sense and would improve the U.S security and economy overall.…

    During the 1820’s and 1830’s President Andrew Jackson and his followers, Jacksonian Democratics viewed themselves as the guardians of the United States Constitution, political democracy, individual liberty, and equality of economic opportunity. In some ways they succeeded in their goals and were effective guardians of political democracy and equality of economic opportunity. However, in doing so they neglected guardianship of the constitution, and protecting individual liberties. By doing this, the Jacksonian Democrats stressed the importance of the common man, even though by doing this they violate their own principles.…

    Being Wrong Chapter 5

    At the beginning of chapter 5 “Our Minds, Part Two: Belief” Schultz informs us that Alan Greenspan testifies before congress on October 23, 2008 because of the financial crisis. The chapter then leads on to expand on the“Greenspan moments” which is basically when beliefs fail us. Belief in casual conversation is a conscious belief, such as morality, politics, ourselves or others. Philosophers include all unconscious beliefs too, like believing that the sky is dark outside if you're in your bedroom at night with the blinds closed and that the sun won't rise for many more hours and when it does it will do so in the east. Both explicit beliefs like “everyone hates me” and implicit ones “the sky is blue” serve as a function of helping me figure out where to sit when I enter a room. Once an implicit assumption is violated, it becomes explicit. If I suddenly fall through the floor, my implicit assumptions about the solidity of the floor suddenly appear in my conscious. The beliefs at the acute ends of the implicit and explicit range breaks down most strikingly when they are revealed incorrectly.…

    Many researchers have found that the news media, now more than ever, have a huge influence on how ordinary citizens think and view the world. The way in which the media frames an event or socially constructed issue will determine how the average person views the problem. Framing is selecting “some aspects of a perceived reality and mak[ing] them more salient in a communicating text, in such a way as to promote a particular problem definition, causal interpretation, moral evaluation, and/or treatment recommendation for the item described”(Robert Entman 391). In other words framing is the practice of influencing how people think and feel about issues by encouraging them to think about them in a particular way. This is done with a discursive language that appeals to images and values that people know and understand deeply. In my news media framing assignment I will be analyzing how the news has portrayed and framed InSite – The only safe injection site for drug addicts in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver B.C. I will do this by firstly by examining the issues being framed by the news media and what authoritative figures are being addressed on the issues. Secondly I will address where the media places and constructs the article to influence the reader. And finally I will argue why this issue is important and look at how the media uses authoritative figures and facts to persuade the reader to believe one side of the issue. This will be made possible by analyzing 14 articles that discuss the controversy of the safe injection sites.…

    Many families do not keep their guns in safe places that children couldn’t reach. For example, in South Carolina a 2-year-old shot his grandmother in the back while she was riding in the back seat of the car the child found the gun in the back of the front seat and shot his grandmother. Since children don’t know the concept of killing and harming people they have injured and killed many people, even children have killed their own parents and siblings. For example, a child shot his father in an event where many people were present. These kinds of incidents have happened many times because the parents didn't pay attention to the consequences of keeping guns. Not keeping guns in a safe place where children can't reach can result in familie’s own…
