Blog post 2: Thoughts on supreme court history

 

  • What did you learn about the Supreme Court that you didn't already know?
I learned about the Dred Scott wound and how it is a wound that was self inflicted  as well as learning about multiple constitutions. Somehow I never realized that there would be multiple drafts. Apparently the supreme court has the post civil war constitution
  • What is the most important take-away point about the Supreme Court?
That anyone can start a petition showing off our freedom however it is not always heard. we the people check the balance, rules can change and we must look ahead not the past 
  • What was the most surprising thing you learned?
I learned I could petition on change.org and that only 100 out of the daily hundreds in one year is taken up by the supreme court. It is further surprising that someone must bring up the argument before the court takes action
  • How did the video change the way you thought of the Supreme Court?
I veiw the supreme court in a higher position with more light. I also think that presidents spreading their idea though initiating court members feels sad. I feel sad that even the representative of the people can be swayed

Blog post 1: Five News Sources

Top five News Sources of someone without using social media



The main source of media I use to get my news is You tube. I do not like having long articles but I also do not like just hearing the news. With You tube I can put on captions and the videos from official news sources are in segments so if the news is terrible I can have a break.

The second main source of media I use is apple news. I wake up get started with my morning and I swipe left to see what is happening. I might not read that selected article provided by apple news but I use apple news as a spring board as to what issues I look up on the day.

My third main source of media is CBS. after the daily news I watch CBS where I can get a view point by an American because I like watching foreign channels and reading foreign articles.

My fourth source of media is SNL because their comedy and satire leads me to an impartial view of the news that criticizes both. The news can often be depressing and I find that seeing a negative view of the world can lead to detrimental performance and seeing the shows performances helps mitigate the feeling that there could be something I could do to fix when generally the problem is not one needing fixing or out of my area of expertise. Saturday night live helps me unwind and not overwhelm myself with all the problems of the world.

My fifth source of media is WRAL the local weather and news program of my home city. The news feels more genuine and unbiased. I watch the weather and local problems as well.
