The Last One Standing

While watching the republican election I found interest in one candidate. The candidate that I found interesting was Mitt Romney. He is the candidate who is winning the election so far. When the race for republican presidential election first took place the candidates were Mitt Romney, Ron Paul and Rick Santorum.

            Throughout the race a lot believed Santorum was going to win and some had high hopes for Romney. Personally I had high hopes for Romney because he seems experienced and determined to win.

            Mitt Romney seem like he cares about the people and seems like a hardworking man. I find that important because we do not want a weak and lazy president. We want someone who can control the government and be able to enforce rules.

            A good republican candidate will be able to handle and pick up were president Barack Obama left off. As a candidate especially Romney he should be ready to face harsh and good things that are about to happen once you reach office.

            Romney has to be ready for the racism, discrimination and bias actions he is going to face, when in the running to becoming a president in the United States.

“Something’s You Should Know.”

            When it is time for presidential elections lot violence starts to take place. People real colors start to show for example racism problems starts to happen around the world. President Barack Obama has went thru a lot just become a president. He was also placed in a political cartoon. They would make his skin darker then what it was and over exaggerate his ears.

            While running on the election to become a presidential candidate you have to be prepared and ready for anything. If I was a republican I would not mind Romney becoming the United States president. I am not saying I am against Romney but I do not support some of the republican beliefs.

             According to my views Romney is a good republican candidate in Iowa I just believe Mitt showed more leadership skills and was prepared to go in and win all the votes on the polls.

Romney Just Might Be The Next President

Republican is a form of government, constitution, belonging to or characteristic of a republic. “A person advocating or supporting the Republican Party.” (google.com)

While reading the article “Could a mystery candidate for GOP race still emerge?” I noticed that the republicans are sure they have a chance at winning the presidential election.

            The democrats only fear the Democrats had been for Romney to win in Iowa and New Hampshire. The article had states “not only ending the GOP nomination tight but quickly united this party behind a candidate who has constantly shown the greatest potential against presidential Barack Obama”. The article is saying that Mitt Romney just might be the person to remove Democrat Barack Obama out of office. Mitt Romney is working hard in these elections to become the next republican president of the United States.

            In class the other day I learned about bias on the news. I saw a video that was created by Romney’s campaign about president Barack Obama. The video was interesting because throughout the whole video you heard the president’s voice.  If you were not paying attention it would have confused you. In the video the president’s words was getting used against him. I believe the video was a good example of bias and got a lot of republican’s attention.

"The Truth About Ron Paul.”

“Ron Paul may have officially come in third tonight, but if the campaigns caucus strategy went off as planned, that Paul may actually be the real winner of the first Republican voting contest.“Des Monies

            “As a young boy, I didn’t know a Republican from a Democrat, only in one way: If some man or bunch of men rode up to the ranch to sit or stay all night, and father set me to watching’em all the time they was there—what they did and what they carried off – I learn they were Republicans.”notable quotes

                                    Ron Paul was very organized and did a lot to earn his spot in the republican community. This also meant since Iowa republican caucuses are non biding which means it is kind of like pulling straws when election time comes. One thing people notice is that Ron Paul does not leave after the vote. When they stay and get elected to the conventions and get more delegates. The delegates make Ron Paul look stronger and will prepare him for the Tamp in the summer. Tampa Bay is where they are going to hold the 2012 convention. The convention will be held for the Republican Party.

                        By the way Ron Paul is a graduate from Duke University

“Such a conservative state”

             While reading msnbc’s article “Local GOP Reacts To Casus Results”. In the article they shared the vote for republican presidential candidate. The people had chosen Matt Romney to represent Iowa. Romney was eight points away from the former running mate Rick Santorum.  The article had stated "With Bachmann dropping out I would think a lot of those supporters would go to Senator Santorum," said Elsasser. "And with Rick Perry's showing, I'm not sure exactly what he's going to do but if he would happen to drop out then Santorum might pick up some of that support as well."  The article was saying since during the election Bachmann had Withdrawal from the race. That gave Santorum a better chance at winning and making it to the top. Instead of that happening he was beat by Matt Romney who was only eight points’ ahead. The race is not over for Romney yet because he has to go against the Republican Party that is two other states.

            In conclusion the race is not over. We still have a few for days to pick a republican presidential candidate. Which means Romney is not finish working yet he should start doing more as a candidate to get views from the people.

Lastt Blogg Of Thee Yearr !!!

1.      Imagine it is two years later, you have just finished your first year of college what are specific elements of high school life are you missing? I am in my first year of college I will miss a lot of elements from high school. I will miss being able to turn in work late. Another thing I will miss is those nights when I don’t have any homework, Nights just watching TV or being on social networks. Since starting college I don’t get a lot of sleep and have to read long and boring chapters for homework.

2. Reflect back on all of your blog posts - which was your best critical analysis and in depth piece? What about this topic will stick with you? The blog post that I felt was the best was the one on bullying. I found that blog post to be very important to everyone. That was one of the blog posts that everyone can relate to.

3. Do you think that blogging is something that you will continue to do after this class - why/why not? I might blog after this class but I won’t do it every week. I might just blog when a major event happens and I want to express my feelings about it.

4. Now that you are a proficient online social mediaphile how are you going to be an ambassador for social, professional and academic digital life? I would not be an ambassador for social, professional and academic digital life. I would not do these things because I am eventually I will stop using social media websites. I would mind talking about my experience on social media websites but I wouldn’t want to do it in front of a big group.

5. What are the basic elements that contribute the digital divide? What steps can you take yourself to begin to bridge that divide and connect people using technology? The elements that contribute to digital divide are discrimination. I choose to say discrimination because the people are being treated equal. By them not being treated equal some people are getting to basic needs such as internet connection because of the location of their house. I can contribute to the lack of digital divide by being helpful in my community and raising money so that children who don’t have or can’t afford internet or access get it and will not have to pay. 

6. The unofficial name of this course is "online social media literacy" - what do you think this means? Why is it necessary to be literate in our ever-growing online social world? I think in means the course will provide us with information about social media and teach us the lay outs of the social media world. It is necessary to be literal in the growth of online social media because new things are created every day. It is good we have this course so we can learn what we are doing when entering the social media world.

Digital Divide

On one bring Monday afternoon we learned about Digital Divide. Our teacher had us read a article out of the magazine called Upfront/New York Times. The article talked about the difference in the areas with broadband and the areas without. The article also described the good and bad for having the broadband connection. In the article I learned about a boy name Pheylon Martin and his experience as a high school senior. Pheylon talked about how broadband was not offered in his neighborhood. When he would have homework he would have to download the web page in order to complete his work. This a disadvantage for him because he cannot email teachers if he needs help with an assignment like the other students. Another problem is when students have to apply for college. Most applications are online so it makes it hard for those without the broadband to complete. Students that are in the same situation as Pheylon are going through the same things. I believe the government should get involved. The government should make it that all neighborhoods with children should have broadband or have a library in those neighborhoods without the broadband connection.  Digital Divide is becoming very necessary and everyone should be aware of the topic.

Cyber Warfare

Cyber Warfare

By:Salihah Muhammad

        Cyber Warfare has been a very popular topic I the media. Cyber Warfare is the talk of town but what is it? Cyber Warfare is the use of computers and the internet in conducting warfare in cyber space. Cyber space is the notional environment in which communication over computer networks occurs. This brings up the topic about wars in the United States and elsewhere.  I wonder will they begin to do wars on the computer. This might be good to the people but it can cause other things to happen. For example people getting into government files. If someone hacks into a government file, that can cause a lot of issues. That will not just harm the government but that will harm everyone. That could cause people to lose jobs and other things that are important like houses and even family pets. In conclusion the thought of any war is harmful and could cause heart ache and pain. Everyone should just get along and we will not have to think about these alternate war routes.
