Prepper Journal: Is It Ok To Panic Yet? Things Have Changed
It is safe to say that by and large nothing has changed for the better. However, the change in some cases has come in increments, which allows us all to adjust to the point that potential threats become like furniture.
You do not see what has always been there right under your nose, because you have become accustomed to it, used to seeing it to the point you no longer notice. The adversaries of the United States of course prefer it this way. If the country and its citizens do not recognize something as a threat then no one prepares to counter that threat.

The point is of course, if there ever was a good time, now may be it according to some. You cannot panic, because you need your wits about you.
Now is the time to pay closer attention to what is going on in the world. Have you ever watched the segments on certain news and entertainment shows that have reporters interviewing people on the streets?
You would be alarmed at the number of people that cannot name or even recognize the Vice President of the United States. They think the war of 1812 ended 10 years ago. The number of people in this country that are uniformed, and live in their own little world is alarming. Apparently some if not many get their news from websites, blogs, and Facebook pages, and it cannot be called news in many cases, because it is simply someone's opinion most of the time.
There are of course blogs, websites, and Facebook pages that do a great job of keeping their readers informed with articles and news blurbs. If you find a site that does supply you with facts, opinion, and relevant content and allows for discourse then you had better support them, because they are getting rarer as the days go
A few months back on a different interaction, a Russian fighter intercepted a US bomber over the Baltic Sea. This occurred in international waters. The US had another issue happen later in that month pertaining a Russian SU-27 fighter jet, which flew just feet from a US Air Force RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft. After this interaction, it was deemed “unsafe.”
Khan-Ibarra makes another fantastic point that many things in the world that people wouldn’t have dreamed of ever changing, have changed. Things like how we get out news, now newspapers are becoming rarer and rarer. At least the original form of the newspaper is, while now there are hundreds of newspapers that are exclusively online. The way we receive and send business and personal letters are much different now too. Now you can send and receive a response to your letter in a fraction of the time it would take for the recipient to even receive the letter. Our world is changing because of technology and social media, becoming more productive as
1. What is the danger of a single story? What does this make you think about? How does this relate to you/your life?
Things that happened years ago have all changed to nowadays; either by a few changes but still very similar or dramatically changed in a positive way.
“I am learning to understand rather than immediately judge or to be judged”(Lee). We have learned what to be afraid of, and what not to be afraid of. If we acted today as we did in the past, our world would be in complete chaos and panic.
Recently it’s been harder to claim we are the home of the brave. More and more people are acting afraid of things that have not happened. They are telling us that we should be afraid too. That we should not question the
The problem now a days with our news sources is that the majority of them are partisan toward Democrats or Republicans. This creates problems for the public because they receive information that is skewed and bias. When news sources do this to the public it affects their trust and knowledge of government, both of which are needed for people to want to participate in civic duty. The other problem is that citizens rely on Facebook for their news stories. Facebook post are mostly opinion and there is a lot of fake news on the website. So, it is our job to start educating people on how to find reliable news sources that are factual and unbiased.
To help me stay sane I have found some ways to save time and energy. My husband help alot with the house. If the trash is full he takes it out and he also picks stuff up around the house. Also, my husband helps with our dog. When i am not home he walks and feeds her. My husband will also help get our son ready if i am running late. I make a grocery list and already know what we are eating for the week. Any major house cleaning and grocery shopping i save for the weekend so it does not take time away from my school work during the week. I get my son to go to sleep before my husband goes to work because my son tends to listen to his daddy more. I also pick out mine and my sons outfits the night before so i do not have to worry about that in the
The handle holder tools are used during heart valve replacement surgeries where they might be bent several times. While these fatigue failures are normally caused by a design flaw and not material issues, the cyclic, concentrated use of these tools is what will eventually cause the failure. After being re-sterilized, these tools can and should be used again in order to be more efficient and cost-effective. The use of these tools however, needs to be regulated in order to prevent the failure of the tool during a surgery where it could cause a surgical error and even death.
Through such internet sites, we can get the information that the media withholds from us. The problem with this, is that anyone can put an article up on the internet. This is why many people don’t trust the World Wide Web, and blindly put their trust in mainstream media. What they fail to realize, is that main stream media can also show us whatever they want. Rather than trusting the programs we grew up watching, we all need to open our eyes and at least entertain the idea that everything we see is not always relevant, and not always factual. If we did our own research and found our own sources that we trust, we could be getting a
This attitude has changed dramatically. We now have an explosion of information via television, internet and print media. Much of this information is sensational and, it can sometimes be frightening.
Mistakes have the power to turn you into something better than you were before. Mistakes are inevitable it’s like being born once it has happened it’s impossible to stop. My mistake was wondering if I should go visit my mom while she was in the hospital. It had been five years while we were waiting for the surgery during those years of waiting she was getting worse by the day. Eventually she had to wear an oxygen tank all the time just to help her breath.
Perhaps what’s deemed as “news” is, or has been, essentially a relative thing that is highly reflective of one’s interests, personal tastes, and/or agenda. For example entertainment news sites such as “E!” specialize in reporting about all things “entertainment.” In my opinion such sites perpetuate gossip and virtually useless information. For example an article located under the E-online “news” link reported on the unexpected announcement by Kanye West and his intention to run for president in 2020. As reported by Alyssa Toomey, West states the following:
The majority of Americans watch or have watched the news. The news is a perfect way to find out what is going on in the neighborhood, or it is a good way to find out about the world we live in. People watch the news to see what is going on. Most people don’t pay attention to what race the people on the news are or what kind of sexuality the people are
There is a famous saying by the philosopher Heraclitus that there is nothing permanent in life except change. Every day is a different day from yesterday, and change is inevitable. Everything around us changes with the passage of time. Changes can be categorized under two main types, which are either beneficial or harmful. But I believe that most of the time, change is for the better than for the worse. From the olden days, when the time where our parents were merely just teenagers like us, till today, a lot has changed. Ranging from the technology of our era till the way we behave, these have all evolved and change in the past decades. One of the most perspicacious changes that occur since the olden days are none other than the modern
