Blog # 2

After watching that video I was in awe, I was stunned. The information they reveal here is crazy. I had never heard of the North American Union until now. Something I really liked about this video was the fact that it revealed how the media controls us. In my opinion it is a proven fact, we believe what we see and hear on the news. I believe that we should not believe everything we see/hear from them. For a while now I have been skeptical about many things said on the news and it all started with a video called "Loose Change."

Like this video said there are certain thing that the media shares with us that the only reason they do it is to make us "believe" and not look for further information on the subject. What we all should do is look into things talked about in the media for ourselves. Research them and come up with as much information on it and create our own conclusion. On the other hand what we do is listen to everything the media says and stand by it. Therefore I believe that this video was an excellent source of information and im glad it is being seen by others. Also I believe that we have gotten to the point that we completely lost control over everything. We are controlled by the higher ranked people and we continue to let ourselves be controlled. I think we definitely have to do something about it and regain power for the well being of our future, education, and us as people.

Blog # 1 (spring 08)

Well first off my name is Arnold Cedeño and this is my 2nd semester here at FIU. I am pursuing the field of business and hopefuly everything goes right with that. Well so you guys get an idea about me I am going to tell you some of the things I like. First of all my passion right now is cars, I spend a lot of time around cars and going to car hang outs. Another thing I like to do is play poker. Other than that im normal lol, I go out with my friends and have a good time.

Making this blog for ENC 1102 is something very new to me. This is the first time I will be posting up a blog entry. The only thing similar to this which I have taken part of is, http://www.myspace.com/. When I think about it I believe that posting my thoughts online will eventually lead to my success as a better writer because I will be critiqued by my fellow classmates and my teacher. Knowing this I can only see positive things coming out of this blog. This is why I feel that this a great opportunity for all the students, not just me. As for the security settings I will allow everyone to see my page because this is the only way I can become better at writing or the subject at hand. I think that people shouldn't be shy about expressing their thoughts because the only way to get better at anything is being open minded and having others strengthen your weaknesses. I look forward to reading what other classmates have to say about my opinions. Therefore, the idea of posting up our responses online is a great way for all of us to improve overall.
