Thanks for your unfiltered opinions Keri. We should sit down for lunch some time. Being bashed on Facebook by someone who wants me to "quit bashing people on Facebook" was ironic and a little bit humorous-- in a hypocritical way. But hypocrisy is usually easier to spot in other people than it is in ourselves. Which is exactly why robust, open and frequent discussions via social media are so important. Friction polishes even the roughest stones. Board membership and meetings are important. But remember to talk to the people you represent. I will. You were a "Fresh Face" once, too. If the last leaders shared your passion for "no new faces," you wouldn't presently have the privilege of serving our city. I am only the first of many more who will come to serve. The residents who are reading these words crave candid viewpoints and clear facts so that they can weigh-in on election day, and find their values represented in the decisions of their elected leaders. Are you listening to the voices that don't fund your campaigns? How would they know, if you were? …show more content…
They want to know if you are putting residents first while you meet with big developers. And they want to know how. They wonder how you intend to use a County Supervisor role to enhance Folsom, and they want specific examples, not the generalized promises that are the familiar fodder of politicians everywhere. During your tenure, they have watched traffic grow thicker and seen small business decline. They want a leader to discuss ideas and solutions via direct channels to all who will be affected by any of your back-room deals and unspoken allegiances. Be clear with
Hi Kerri Howell. You should consider looking into Roger Gaylord for Folsom City Council achievements and accomplishments before you try and knock him down. I've seen and hear many things Roger's done in the community, which is one of the many reasons he has my support. He’s always out helping others, volunteering and supporting several non-profits in the community. Take a peek at Ripples to Waves Facebook; you’ll see where he randomly paid for a stranger’s entire SMUD bill when she was in need. Your close mindedness doesn’t propel you in your endeavors for the county supervisor position; it shows you have a complete lack of leadership.
The next article I examined was from NBC News, this article toyed with pathos right from the get go. The headline is “Trump Critics Dismiss New Immigration Order as Repackaged ‘Muslim Ban’” (Arkin). That plays with emotion by adding the idea of “Muslim Ban” because everybody has his or her own feelings and ideas within the connotation of that word. It also becomes a factor, because that is what the first immigration ban was dubbed before it was repealed, which shows an immediate sign of a more democratic bias. The article will go onto to convey ideas that makes the idea that this ban is a bad thing, and has religious prejudice within the order. The logos of the article is true, but gives a left-wing approach to the situation, which could affect
A large portion of the world’s older generation possesses the mindset that smartphones are decreasing our intelligence. This view has been held for years and is understandable, but Daniel T. Willingham presents a different idea in his article “Smartphones Don’t Make Us Dump”. Daniel T. Willingham is a professor of psychology at the University of Virginia and is the author of Raising Kids Who Read: What Parents and Teachers Can Do. He gears his article towards the parents of the future generations; correcting their misconceptions and inserting a proper one using logos.
There were several fallacies in the video titled “How Walmart Steals Wages & Discriminates” including fallacies from Walmart and the people who made the video. Some of these fallacies are: false cause about discrimination, bandwagon about how Walmart pays their employees appropriately, argument from authority when the CEO talked about hours worked and payed, possible slight anecdotal and the Texas sharp shooter because of who was interviewed.
The social media celebrity has killed the traditional sports marketing agent. That’s at least what marketer Evan Morgenstein recently told Forbes. Morgenstein believes that, ”The athlete market is dead. Sports agents are losing so many deals that they used to get as full endorsement deals to ‘celebrities’ just willing to lend themselves on social media. [There is] no need for appearances or traditional advertising.”
In this essay, I will discuss chapter 12 and how it relates to Donald Trump. Discrimination is behaving differently, usually unfairly, toward the members of a group. Stereotypes are widely held beliefs that people have certain characteristics because of their membership in a particular group. Donald Trump gave a variety of speeches and after listening to his personal beliefs, I believe Donald Trump is racist. Donald Trump believes that Muslims are terrorists and they need to be kept far away from the United States. Also he bashes African-Americans and insults women. Donald Trump insulted all Muslim women which is a form of stereotyping when he said "Look at his wife, she was standing there. She had nothing to say. She probably, maybe she wasn’t allowed to have anything to say.
Multiple authors such as Noah C. Rothman, James Fallows, and Glenn Greenwald demonstrate that a reoccurring problem in news media coverage is the failure to relay all of the information about an event to audience members who did not witness it themselves. However, The ultimate fighting championship’s (UFC) 193rd event did not seem to face these difficulties. While every aspect of life has its downsides, many major news corporations covering this event presented a very fair story showing both fighter’s sides of the event. Although some might think this fight was a very minuscule event, it was far from this bringing a record breaking night that drew more viewers than any other mixed martial arts fight in history. This iconic event clearly calls
We, as people, tend to be cliquish in that we like to be similar to those who are like ourselves. For some, it is the neighborhood they grew up, such as North siders versus South siders. For others, it is heritage, their alma mater or their hometown, or simply their favorite sports team. It seems that we are programed to be communal. It is where we are compelled to find someone or something we bond as a community. Defending it group has a logic of its own, as it become part of what defines each of us. Being integrally part of it is why one can become overzealous in their support for a sports team, fighting stereotypes of being Germans or Mexican, or Jazz music. It is also what makes bullying insidious, as it splits us from our identity and
I agree with you that communication with the public is very important to detect bioterrorist, terrorists’ main agenda is to cause fear and chaos among societies. Therefore, the government should create channels to inform the community about the next course of action in case of an attack. With that said, the Islamic State is very impressive in how it uses the social media platforms to attract and appeal to jihadist to join its cause from all over the world. I believe you hit it on the head when you said that the best option is to use subject matter experts who are knowledgeable in the particular field.
A candidate can stress his or her positive features, engaging in self-praise by acclaiming. The larger or more important the perceived advantages of a candidate, the more likely that politician will seem preferable to voters. Acclaims do not have inherent drawbacks, but candidates may wish to moderate their attacks given that many voters say that they do not mudslinging some incentive exists to moderate attacks. Each candidate chooses how much to attack; however, the fact that most voters do not like mudslinging is a reason that inclines most candidates to acclaim more than they attack (Benoit & Compton, 2016, p. 2).
As a teenager, I have spent a decent amount of my life watching television, movies, browsing the Internet and playing video games. This has shaped the way I think. These sources are wonderful ways of retaining information, but we need to be careful of how we receive it. Not all information we perceive on TV and the Internet are safe and trustworthy. I believe that the information that occurs on today’s media shapes people’s mind into thinking a certain way. The commercials and advertisements on TV offer a false impression of people. Stereotypes in all kinds of media create thoughts in our mind that may not be true. Video games, TV and movies have an influence on kids. Even though the media is the place where we get our information from, we need to learn to filter the good from the bad. The media is a contributing factor in shaping our minds through
I normally do not voice my opinions on social media, but since this incident happened and the effects of it are within a few miles of from where I currently am, I feel it is reasonable and necessary. Within an hour of the news being released and media completely distorting the actual details, protests began. Immediately some assumed that racial stereotypes had played a part in this matter, despite the fact it was an African-American officer who fired the weapon. Yes, I do understand people can be racist or accept stereotypes of their own race. Yet, what continuously discombobulates me is the fact that in recent shootings, these "victims" have knowingly disobeyed the officer's order. Even though these officers could have (and probably should
I was appalled by the negative way that young people have been perceived by media and think the tone and the despicable words used by media in articles ,even words used in the headline, are totally repugnant and abominable. The article which is headlined “Hoodies, louts, scum’: how media demonises teenagers” provides an insight to how media scrutinizes teenage boys mainly, how much people antipathy teenagers that all media are able to say about them are negative implements and present figures that show amount of stories that are subjected on the negative impact teenagers having london (national and regional) in the past year.
As the saying goes every coin has its two sides, there are even cons to this social media platforms. The worst is that there is no authentication of the information provided. And on these un-authenticated info some time the users get carried away and rather than making an opinion give their verdict. There have been incidents when people with not so good intention used it for their mean purposes. There were post in which slaughtering of cows, which are sacred to one community, were shown and was appealing to masses to stop this at any cost in provocative way(could be referred in a violent way).So whether its politician making provocative racists speeches or for mud slinging on the rivals or creation of sentimental positive vibe for the culprit
he United States has claimed for years to be a melting pot, where race or various preferences do not define our role in society. Most everyday people do not even realize or notice the amount of stereotyping that occurs in mass media. It is important to understand the different types of discrimination marginalized groups face. Stereotypes can affect everyone, whether it is based on their race, gender, or sexual preference. Media makers could easily find ways to not discriminate against people, but perhaps this would make that specific media outlet less popularly attended to.
