Week 6: Topic 2

Topic 2:
·      To be honest I do not know which one to believe. Its hard to not believe your President, because he runs our country, but at the same time I feel like Trump would lie about it just too cover himself up. There’s that way to look at it and then there is the viewpoint of the news companies making up certain stories to turn against Trump because they do not like him, and make money off of big stories that are not really true. I feel like you can’t fully make the right call, you just go with which one you believe in more. News companies make money off of big stories and President Trump is a walking giant news story. Personally I can’t decide which one to believe.
·      I believe that it goes back to who you truly believe in. If you are a huge supporter of Trump then you believe that the press is doing attacks against his rights, creating fake stories on him. If you are not a supporter of Trump, then you believe that he is harming democracy and the First Amendment with his attacks. Its hard to say when a lot of people want Trump out of the white house, so they create any possible scenario to get him in trouble and out of office. It is one big mess right now.

·      The biggest examples I notice are when he tweets on Twitter about how there is fake news about him. The age range on twitter is about 10 year olds to adults. Him tweeting one thing negative about the news press can go for over hundreds of thousands of retweets, exposing that tweet to millions of people. It may be true or it may be false, I am not sure, but it causes a huge drama pool once he tweets that out about the press. Causing the press to fire back and Trump to fire back causing even more unneeded drama in America.

Week 5: Topic 1

Topic 1: 1)          After watching the video, the first thing that really surprised me and caught me off guard was how many groups and artists have stolen the beats from older songs. When he first plays the loop of a Led Zeppelin song and the loop of a Muddy Waters song, you can tell that Led Zeppelin used some of the beats and words. Also the Rolling Stones taking some from the song “this may be the last time” recorded by a folk group in the late 50’s. These are two top bands that are widely known for their music and some of them isn’t even their original stuff. I love these bands and to see that kind of ruins the originality of their music. About a minute farter into the video it talks about the “happy birthday” theme song being a copyright issue, where if you play that in public you technically own royalties. I myself would owe tons of royalties. The next surprising information I learned that personally effected me, is the shut down of Napster. I used to use Napster back before i

Week 1 Topic 2

Topic 2: My three main source of information are Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. These are my go-to resources because they are so quick and easy to access. I am also already on those websites to connect with friends. While I am on there to do that there happens to be access to many different areas that I can pick up on the latest news. People tweeting about it or posting about something that happens in the world. I log onto twitter and it pops up the top streaming topics through hashtags. It could say something like #chicagoshooting and all I have to do it click it and it takes me to tons of different areas to read about what happened. If I am watching the news or something to her this information, I have to go through commercials and wait for the juicy news details. When answering the question "How reliable is the information?" it becomes difficult. I do not believe everything I see on social media because a lot of information put on there is very bias towards what is h

Week 1: Topic 1 (About me)

Topic 1: My name is Colton Cosner, and I have just left my two years at LBCC. My major is business and I need these last credits to complete my AAOT. I am at LBCC for baseball and have really enjoyed my time here. My career goal is to become a business owner or graphic designer one day. I am most interested in learning about the impacts that social media has on society. With how fast it is growing and how little we fully know about how it has effected us, I am excited to learn more about it. I am most passionate about baseball as my outside hobby. I played for two years at Linn Benton and am currently playing in Bend for the summer. Baseball has given me many opportunities to do great things and meet great people. It has opened doors for me, and I am excited to see where it takes me next.
