Blogging

So far I think blogging is a really fun way to say our opinions and how we feel to certain things.I like saying my opinion about things but I can write about them better than speaking about them out loud, so I think this is a good idea. I like how we can read about other peoples blogs and see what their opinions are on things too. I had fun making my blogger page and putting stuff on it. Its a easier and more interesting way of doing assignments and putting them on here. Ive had Mr.Hughes before, so ive done blogs in the past and i really liked how they work and how they were done. I also think blogs will help other people see different sides of situations and how others feel about stuff, so they can learn from it.

Media Violence

To me media violence is something that the media uses to make movies, video games, and the news more exiting and interesting. It catches the attention and the eyes of the people who see or play it but it also affects the way that people think and feel to certain situations. For example, if on the news all they show is stories about violence and people getting killed and killing other people, the people that read that may become feared that something like that may happen to them or their family. With video games, it makes the games more fun and challenging but it also affects the way people think, just like the news, it may make someone more aggressive or scared. A lot of video games make it seem like, to be masculine, you have to be strong, tough, and let nothing get in your way.
