New Learning

Service Learning Reflection During my time at New Hope, there was one boy, *Kory, that I drawn to from the beginning. I really don’t know how to explain it but I just felt like I was meant to know him and to help him. He had these sad eyes that seemed to be crying for help. One thing I learned about Kory early on, is that you never know which version of him you are going to get. Some days he would be talkative, rambunctious, and completely lacking self-control, causing him to get in trouble…

Childhood is far more important than just growing up and learning new things. Every event or experience we have as children shape us into who we will become and how we will behave. Everyone has different experiences and that makes it their own. With each experience that happens to me or you, big or small, affects us in different ways and we each handle or cope with it the way we think is best. The way I would cope with something another could cope with it a totally different way. Each experience…

Lastly, I advise you to be prepared to put forth hard work, because it truly does pay off at the end. In relation to McCandless quote, this class is just one of the many “horizons” you will face in your college career, with new ones to uncover throughout your lifetime. The new learning experiences you face are a chance express yourself and find yourself…

The American news spends a lot of time discussing the events that take place Iran, Syria, Eqypt, England, and a few others. Some countries are not a majorly discussed country in the news in the United States. There are several others that could be mentioned more, as well. Scotland, Ireland, Australia, Denmark, Switzerland, and Sweden are just a few that we rarely hear anything about in our media. American news networks seem to only discuss a fraction of countries that make up the world.…

How Social Media Has Impacted My Life Living in the United States has taught me many lessons over the years. We are a very fast learning country. Social media has had a tremendous impact on our society. It has changed the way we interact with each other in negative and positive ways. Some negative ways it has impacted our lives is, people are more prone to bully online than in person. We tend to speak out more on social media rather than in person. We aren’t afraid to say how we feel about a…

by viewing the news. When Americans watch the news, they learn and retain information that is pertinent to the local area and news around the country. For example, CNN.com displays the news network’s slogan as “the most trusted name in news”. Considering the fact that the news network hosts major news events such as the Presidential Election and breaking news from around the world, it shows that the news network is a monumental source for news that Americans can tune into. The news is loaded…

century is known to be the start of new beginnings. It was that generation where machineries evolve the economics and social life of the human beings: from traveling to one place to another, a click of a button for communication, and to sending news to the residents of the world. But, as the year progress the mortals abused the capability of these machines. One of the problems is how they report news and how they edit stuff to create news and spread rumors. Can news reporters be fully trusted? …

understanding the value social media has in regards to today’s news. Social media has changed many aspects of journalism. Now, for the consumer, sharing news has become more important than searching for it. Based on who you follow or who you’re friends with will determine what kinds of information pops up on your timeline. Because of things like Twitter, where news is easily accessible with real-time updates, there is a demand for instant news stories that quickly inform. Newspapers cannot…

The new social media has not made for a more enlightened, connected and democratic society. Instead, it has used mechanisms to instill fear and mass hysteria to those following them and will continue to negatively influence and mislead people in the future. The traditional media that baby boomers have used is the newspaper. A newspaper passes through many editors and every person is assigned a single section, so you know your section well. Information is passed through journalists to writers…

much of her day is controlled by apps. She states, “I eat my breakfast reading theSkimm, Deadline Hollywood, Cupcakes and Cashmere, and many more news sites and blogs, all on my laptop.” (Atwan 50). She is essentially replacing a classic newspaper with social media sites and apps. Is this necessarily amiss? I believe so because she can control what news she wants to expose herself too. Doing some research, theSkimms ad line is, “theSkimm makes it easier to be smarter. Join the millions who wake…
