State of the Union (Obama's speech)

After watching Obama's State of the Union Speech Wednesday night, I felt a little skeptical of his plan. I felt as if he was just saying what the people wanted to hear. He says hes going to fix this country in nearly every way, but does not explain how. I don't understand how he can say that he will fix our health care, schooling, and economy, when having absolutely no idea of what will come in the exceedingly unstable future. Obama also reported to the people that if any one person drops out of school that they will not only be letting themselves down, but they will be letting their entire country down. In my own opinion I believe that this quote was very unthoughtful and impossible.

Bias Broadcasting

Haven't you ever heard the phrase " you cant always believe what you hear?" Well that is just the tip of the ice burg when it comes to broadcasting. People don't realize that all the huge news stations are either Republican or Democrat. Which means that these two party's obviously think in the opposite direction. The average Joe probably wasn't informed that news is money, which means that all these storeys are sold.This just proves my point that just because a URL has a .org, or .net does not mean that it is legitimate. The only way to get true fact of a story is to research it on 3 or 4 web pages until you can make your own opinion on what happened. My theory on Bias opinions is no matter how bad it sucks, every one will always have there own opinion, and how they see things. Which means that its nearly impossible to be unbias, unless maybe its a topic that you have absolutely no knowledge on.

Graduation speech

We should all live life a little more care free, less worries and a little bit more off beat. A great example of this is Michael Franti who says "Don't let mistakes be so monumental, don't let your love be so confidential, don't let your mind be so darn judgmental, and please let your heart be more influential. Be thankful for all that the spirit provides and be thankful for all that you see without eyes. " This quote really sums up life and whats really important. The entity of someones life is taught threw experiencing life, not school. I believe that the wisdom of life is taught threw what you've been threw. Were I come from young adult, live in a very sheltered fantasy land, in which there ignorants makes them believe that they deserve whatever they want. These kids move out without having any grasp or appreciation of the true hell on earth. My philosipy on life is that its like rock climbing. Going down the mountain is much more dificult then climbing up it, because climbing up your entire focal point is to get to the top, therfore evoiding any errors. Decending the mountain is a struggle for any humans instinct. You have to care about your self as much on the way down, as on the way up.
