Anti War

    Anti War voices and actions  are hard to come by and find throughout the main stream of media and society luckily this week I came across two article websites ANTIWAR.Com and The American Conservative. By looking side by side both sites and writers show strong cases and voices towards there line of work, they both equally show how the military and political standpoints are a massive representation. It's very odd due to the fact that the political news and the media have strong standpoints and viewpoints to take away from. With having a strong standpoint the mainstream of media is rapidly posting and showing how the massive corporation's their apart of, with the access and connection they have. It can make the corporations and connections that are gaining and benefiting from the war, then why are they using their voices to promote the spending of military money on the rich mans war. 

    The Vietnam war was a huge impact what's interesting is how are the democrats and republicans sharing their voices and their sides from the both parties The Hill" The New Isolations Republicans are taking a page from the old anti democrats". The U.S. involvement has a tremendous impact in our society from the military both parties are choosing to speak their voice but why. Theses websites have a clear and understanding standpoint upon why anti war and both parties speak their minds, at the end of the day were all one nation. 

EOTO 2 Media and Consolidation

    Media Consolidation is the consequence of the media's consolidation that may seem harmful to the democracy. The content that is being distributed to the public is covering the importance of the issue that can become a biased opinion later on. The media can lead to the increase of a market power of companies out of it's own media outlets, that can result in ah higher price for the consumers. The media is affecting segments differently in our society due to the "Media consolidation shuts out women and minorities" Mediaissues. Meaning minorities make up 33% of the entire population. the level of female and minority ownership make an advanced in other industries like, the broadcast sector in the 1990's and worsened the broadcast sector.

    According to to Free Press"Hispanic or Latino owned stations reaching 21.8% of the Latino TV in household, in the united states" theres going to be tv household reaching African Americans but they don't reach them by black owned tv stations"Free Press. Tv network Hulu, Netflix, Youtube, Youtube Tv, Peacock, and Disney Plus. Disney Plus is a very popular streaming network dedicated for the younger generation to watch cartoons and shows. It's a popular source that is creating memories for families and friends to have a family friendly stories, that can shape a child's imagination. Disney is bringing the media and companies a large amount of size of what's being added to their streaming sites. According to the Media Issues" Disney is a prime example of the issues with media convergence". The article discusses how Disney Plus is buying up media as they own multiple large move franchises and have stock or ownership of twelve television channels. Disney is collaborating and taking away other streaming content from HBO Max ,Netflix, and Hulu, creating a massive streaming source that will fight against a competitor and the stock they have invested.

Media Consolidation reflects with Free Press "The pressure of consolidation and concentration brought on by bad policy decisions have crowded out women and minority owners". The FCC can't even accurately account for the current state of media ownership".Hulu, Netflix , YoutubeTV, Peacock, and Disney Plus have expanded tremendously throughout they years. Everyone that has a phone has either access to the internet and are able to log in these streaming sites. Media consolidation is the main prior consequence of the media's consolidation to the democracy. 

The content that is being distributed to he public is covering the importance of an issue that can become biased later. The media can lead to the increase of a market power of companies out of its's own media outlets. that can result in a higher price for consumers. As well as the negative effects of how media consolidation is taking a negative effect on our mental health regarding depression, insecurity, anxiety ,low self esteem. These are important factors that are taking place in our generations and so on so forth the media in television has been around for decades it's time we start knowing what's happening.

    Dating Apps Gary Kremen founded the Match.com the site was built as a pioneer of the online industry since 1955's. Back in the early days dating was in person no one person met through dating apps or online dates even being set up on blind dates that are always not that fun. Magdalene J. Taylor stated "The golden age of dating apps is over, "New York Times she had a friend tell tell her at at bar on Super bowl Sunday she was waiting for her drinks and had another friend swiping through bumble and all the other dating apps like hinge which I find very ironic because there could be two other guys at the same place and time swiping through their phones and they don't even look up to see each other. Dating apps haven't spread enough yet through the pioneers due to the fact dating was either shamed upon in the older generation or not as common but they still met face to face. 

    Due to the fact humans become early adapters is the fact in the New York Times"The internet, where so many of us spend so much time has not been spared from the decline in quality that seems to plague so much of consumer life" New York Times. I wouldn't say people are becoming late adapters due to the fact  because dating apps are well known possibly the older generation's like are grandparent's and parents etc.

EOTO Presentation Reaction Blog #7

    I found it really interesting Netflix was founded and invented by Marc Randolph in 1977 it was interesting because, when the invention launched in 1977 there was a DVD rental process that they charged a fee. Throughout the world people were able to select movies and shows and encounter the disc by mail, Netflix has been around for a while and I don't doubt that almost everyone has the site. Which is interesting due to the fact that Netflix was offered an online subscription service that was also introduced a flat-free unlimited rentals but you would have a week with them and the site now you can watch where and when ever you want with no problem. Netflix has taken over the world with amazing videos and tv shows worldwide. Mar Randolph is the inventor of the site and he has a lot to do with what goes behind the scenes, it's crazy to think that this turned from DVD players on a VCR to watching movies and shows on you phone computer and tv on your lap anywhere really.

Privacy, Online & Off Blog #4

 

    The Issue with Privacy and Online and Off invasion is a real serious matter for us as humans are digital world is well known in just one click of a button your personal and work information is either leaked and then soon enough it's in someone else's disposable. The digital world is a scary place especially when you know there are individual's who are out there scoping the internet looking for people to slip up and steal there personal information etc. Finn Lutozow- Holm Mrystad explains how tech companies deceive you into giving up your data and privacy " That means anyone who has a phone or and digital device that connect to Kayla the doll and record their voice or just speak to the little child. the Ted Talk also explains that we can't trust the digital world we live in we never know ho to trust anymore. Privacy on dating apps as well are being taken into a personal account because once you sign up for an app they make you read the terms and conditions and some people don't read them and just say yes I accept without knowing then your personal information is being stolen from photos to credit card information. Us as humans need to know what's happening in the world and as well were all over personal information is headed once we hit the accept button. 

    The invasion of privacy and offline are affecting our family and friends as well as anyone else with a certain amount of trust in both system from the government. For the relationship to not be broken we need to keep a respectable relationship for example not dishonoring the trust that's being built within the walls of the government. Finn Lutozow- Holm Mrystad stated  Dating apps as well steal your personal information and once you accept the terms your granting access for the server to steal all the photos and personal information and once that's in there hands theres no knowing what they are goin to do with it. It's like your recording someone who did no give permission for you to record them or their voice, it's a breech of privacy on there end know a days the video can be altered to make matters even worse. Just like police cars having policy and body cameras it's known that the police have cameras on their personal self but on there car on of the Ted Talk mentioned how us as humans are being recorded without our knowledge we have a right to know if someone is recording us, it's not right even thoug hthe cameras are being used for a second hand tool for the officers to look back on if they missed anything the person said or did 

    The Government needs to keep track of more security and how can the issue be resolved so no one gets stolen form or even worse hurt. technology is a very dangerous system that can make or break you because once that trust is gone theres no going back you don't know who has the information what they will do with it.

Eight Values of Free Expression Blog #3

    The eight values of expression that resonates is the Protest Dissent our system is not suppose to be on of mob rule. The first Amendment protect minority views, no matter how unpopular. Have a strong protected right to disagree with the government and everyone else. In fact, the abortion for example have women in this world are facing an unplanned pregnancy, where it comes down to a decision keeping the baby or getting an abortion. Roe V. Wade" the national convention in the recent moths has entered around abortion especially with the Roe V. Wade"Roe V.Wade. Because the Supreme Court's recent decision regarding Dobb's v. Jackson women's health organization system abortion, has been changed drastically . " Roe V.Wade was a landmark in 1973 decision that ruled abortion as a constitutional right, the Supreme Court ruled that, a women's choice to have an abortion out weighs the state's concern for the prenatal life up until the point of fetal viability" Roe V.Wade.

    Abortion rights is a great example due to Protect Dissent stating the First Amendment is suppose to protect the minority's viewpoint no matter how popular or unpopular the scenario is like abortion. This is why this value is so important to me due to the facts yes, were all humans we grew up with our own opinion and thoughts it doesn't matter us as humans are allowed to speak are truth's. The value was created so we have minorities are protected with the First Amendment doesn't matter you'r race nor gender. Keeping an open mind is the most important to hear on another out the amendment protects what it doesn't protect us in action, that causes a riot that's unprotected it may start out as a peaceful like pro speech then the opposite was your acting then leads to a bigger commotion. This is a very important its' not just about women having abortion rights us as a society need to hear each other out no matter if we disagree with them or not, this is why these laws and the amendment were created so yes, we can go and express what we want the people to hear. " While giving the states the power to protect human life is a major win, the fight is far from over at an individual state levels abortion is now battle including,Colorado were alternative pregnancy center's work". Colorado in April will remain legal in 2022 the state acted a statutory protection for abortion as a fundamental right by 2023 Colorado enforced a comprehensive shield law. By 2024 there were voters that will decide whether the law will amend the Colorado constitution to protect abortion rights. This applys to women who have come across with a very decision it's not just about the abortion it's about saving a life and we may not agree with the action but us as a society have to be there for one another and understand.Cited
