Entry #5 Ducey's Education Plan for Az

Image
     Hello there hypocrites! ( I'll explain in a later blog why that is my intro) Anyways! Let's discuss the education plan that Doug Ducey has cooking for Arizona.     In the article posted on AZ Central's website:  Ducey: Why Arizona needs more college grads  discusses Doug Ducey's (AZ's current senator) concern for the percentage of college grads in Arizona. Fair warning, I am going to express my opinion on this, and I do not want to offend anyone..I think his plan SOUNDS great, but I question if it is realistic? I'll admit that I think it is great that the type of rhetoric he uses with percentages makes his point quite appealing. It makes it sound reliable with the use of numbers and all that. To clarify, his plan he is working on, includes teaming up with communities and Arizona's Education department. It is called Achieve60Az, and the goal is to increase 60% in Arizona's grads by 2030.      The reason I question this is beca...

Entry #4 hmmmm advice or?

Real Advice?       Hey there Hypocrites! Hmmm today’s topic is advice. No, not me asking you for advice, or me giving you advice. I want to discuss about the advice that’s given everywhere on the internet. Advice is given everywhere on social media, whether it is Twitter, Instagram, Facebook Snap chat etc. Before I get into this, I’m not upset that there’s advice everywhere, I love that individuals in this time period have easy access to all sorts of advice. I am only talking about this topic to get the human brain flowing a bit, ya know? -to think deep.        Advice is spread across all sorts of social media outlets, but do we ever question how credible these advice accounts are? I was mindlessly scrolling on Facebook one morning, and saw endless shares on all sorts of advice. I began to click on these advice accounts on Facebook and Instagram. These advice accounts have tons of followers, with thousands of likes and shares. I came across some...

Entry #3 Fact Check

0           Hello hypocrites! If you are up to date on the news then you are aware that there is a lot of division in America- politically and socially speaking. Now, whether you are a leftist, rightist, middlist, upist or downist we can all agree that our news sources are ALL bias. There is so much opportunity and freedom to put out your opinions, or interpret facts in your own words so much that original news and facts can be buried under all of it. It can be buried under all the name calling, blaming, theories and even your moral point of view.      The topic on immigration is a constant talk on all sides politically, there is a lot of over generalization that I would like to clear up. I am aware that my own blog is sounding bias already, and I do not mean to offend anyone who opposes this view. If you have a concern, or want to correct me, please comment and let me know. I want to remain neutral, but still hold my morals with facts....

Entry #2 Tech Advancin

Hello Hypocrites! Today I will be discussing the advancement of technology! How many people do you know have a home phone, and  actually  use it? Not very many home phones are left, and if they are, they are mostly used avoiding telemarketer calls that nobody enjoys receiving. In the next generation, home phones are going to be seen as ancient history.       Cellphones are definitely more convenient. If you're out shopping or grabbing some dinner, you don't have to worry about missing that important phone call. You carry your main source of communication right in your pocket or purse.       Another development is definitely dial up internet. As a child I used to hate having to wait for the network to connect and I would have to wait a few minutes, if it didn't work I would have to close it out and restart the whole dial up process. We have advanced to stronger and faster WiFi connections. Nowadays cars even have WiFi connections.  CARS!...

Entry #1 Blogs n stuff

   Hello hypocrites! I have never in my life considered creating a blog for myself. I guess you could say my twitter is one, I mainly use it for laughs or to stalk my wife Demi Lovato. From what I understand, blogs can either be ugly or beautiful. There are some blogs that are of full hateful opinions or have hard honest truth to swallow. Then, you have blogs to keep you positive or informed in the world. I want to be somewhere in between. I want to use the hard truth to create a better atmosphere for my audience. Sometimes it takes ugly truth for beautiful change.      Now, TMZ is a popular "news" source for the public. TMZ blogs have tons of fallacies such as slander, over-generalization, ad-hominen and overstatements.      This sort of rhetoric is aimed towards celebrities. These blogs are obviously popular because they talk about famous people in an outrages way. TMZ has been bashed and accused for violating celebrity rights such as, thei...

Blog Post Introduction

      Hey hyprocrites! I have never been the type of person to use the internet for any of my own thoughts and opinions, so blogger is new for me. I have to admit that it is out of my comfortably zone. However I believe when you are in a state of uncomfortably, it is an opportunity to grow. I know this blogger can help my writing skills grow. It is important to be optimistic about situations like this as William James once said " Pessimism leads to weakness, optimism to power. "               Like I said, I am not really an internet person, yes I have social media solely for communication and to check up on close ones. Also, I use it to stay up to date in our strange world. The reason for being MIA on social media is not because I'm some sort of hipster, rather someone who gets annoyed with it. In my opinion, social media encourages others to be self centered. Though, it is natural for humans to love attention. I want to clarify that I...
