Scoop

More commonly seen is ‘scandals’. What Bacigalupi is challenging us to ask ourselves, is if these ‘scandals’ are really news. When describing the post that Kulaap sends to her website, Ong states, “It is a bit of nothing. Not a news story, not a scoop even, and yet… I can see her site lighting up with traffic.” Similarly, in the real world, our society follows celebrity Instagram posts more closely than the news about deforestation, or global warming, or war. Bottom line, stories that are…

media, popular culture cannot be possibly formed and spread out in the public. At the same time, all sorts of gossips, scandals, and trends can be the central sources for the media. However, the problem rises due to the greed of the media to report scoops and make issues among the public; they trigger side effects. For more attention from the public, the media competes to publish the exclusive news first, so they often ignore censorship and reveal candid photos of celebrities taken by paparazzi.…

uses the prairies to make this happen. To Brian the prairies are more than just a setting; they are able to offer knowledge about nature, people, and a greater being. Brian’s first learning happens when he experiences baby pigeons being hatched, he scoops one up to take home and ask his father questions like why they come out of eggs. This is also the first time Brian experiences death. Brian’s father Gerald explains to him that some things come from eggs, and some come from the mother but…

It's that time of year again and complete mayhem has broken out in the house. The attic door swings open, exploding with a heaping ball of dust. The smell of moth balls emanates throughout the space as a rickety old ladder wobbles back and forth. Suddenly, lawn chairs drop from the hole in the ceiling, followed by box fans, fishing poles, and sleeping bags. The hum of the air compressor vibrates the garage walls as many giant pink flamingos come to life, barricading the kitchen door. The…

From his answers, I concluded that William has a scientific understanding of density but has trouble understanding the differences. Before using the spoon, I asked, “What do you think will happen if we use the spoon?” his reply was “It will scoop it up.” William demonstrated his progress of scientific reasoning as he knows what spoons do and what should happen to the oil to answer this question to the best of his ability (Dolan & Grady, 2010). This question is also part of Bloom’s model as…

He has been in the Service and hospitality business since he was 15 years old, for nearly 20 years, with 12 years of that being in management positions. He attended Southwestern Oklahoma State University as a history education major, he then decided…

Before reading the articles I think the issue media bias will be a controversial topic. The articles appear to be op-ed pieces and their commentary will be directed towards the republican nominee political candidate Donald Trump. The first piece: The Mystery of Trump, Partially Explained, by Paul Berman gives the reader an idea of the current state of journalism. Paul Berman begins with a series of rhetorical questions, wondering how they failed to see this campaign coming and how America could…

I believe society has changed in many ways some changes have been good some have been bad. The changes i would like to talk about have affected people all around this country. we've seen people have arguments over things that shouldn't be argued about we've seen groups turn on each other over what they think is right and we're seeing possibly the worst election year ever. But we've seen new fascinating technology being developed like rovers that NASA says may be able to land on a comet. But…
