How technology is Changing America

This is a hard question to answer for me because I can't seem to get the Idea out of my head that in 30 years my older sisters generation is going to be at the place in their lives when they will be making important decisions in government an other influential positions that will affect me. Trends as of late seem to be moving towards almost a simpler way of life something that not so greedy and full of material objects. But At the same time you seem who's famous and influencing the youth now and they are flaunting unless objects. I also think that will technology and the abundance of news that people can really forge their own opinion on almost anything I hope that gives us a more transparent media. I think one of the main reason trump got elected is because of the advertisements on the regular television. Generally speaking the people who still watch news channels are the ones that are voting regularly. So with new technology I think this is going to change. for example the last voting session in Utah everyone in my family voted for the first time. All of us besides my parents are in our twenties so is cool to see that generation stepping up giving our opinion. With that being said I hope technology is going to help u get ride fo the old boys club.

Stealing is Wrong

Why is stealing wrong? Let me put a picture into your head. Think of the most important thing to you, the thing that makes you happy no matter how your feeling. Something that you've loved for a very long time. Now how did you get that that object? You had to work very hard for it right? It's something that you've earned and made sacrifices for. Now Imagine one day you come home and it's, someone took it from you. Stealing is taking something from someone that you didn't earn or something that someone else worked hard for and it belongs to them, they love that object. We don't steal because we want people to be happy and enjoy what they have worked for. We also don't steal because if we steal them something of ours might get stolen from us.

Personality Test

I have taken this test before and this time around I got a different answer but nothing that seems more fitting somehow. I got the Advocate personality and more specifically INFJ. The last time I took the test I got a ENFJ, so this time I feel like its more reflective on how I feel rather then what I've learned people want to see. I'm sure that most people feel that the test is pretty accurate as they are reading their results. But now I'm pretty convinced that this is what my actually personality is. Being that the last time I took the test was over a year ago and I'm getting nearly the same result. The strengths and weaknesses that they bring up seem very relevant in my life. The only thing is that I want to help with the use of design instead of being a doctor or counselor or anything like that. As an overall review it's all very accurate I can think of an exact situation for each personality trait thats brought up good or bad.

Public Observation notes.

I was located on the Fourth floor of the library. It was 11:30AM and I was sitting near the window overlooking the east side of campus. It was a sunny Tuesday and relatively warm for December. I noticed a few different kinds of people that would walk by below me or next to me in the library. The first was people that where obviously on their way to class or some other kind of meeting that was time sensitive. They would run though people with a great sense of purpose almost. I could see how you could take it as rude, but on the contrast was the ones who had no where to be. These people would slowly walk to wherever they had to go, opening the door for people and generally a slow pace to life. It was interesting to watch these two types interact with each other because it almost worked in a symbolic way.

What types of things tend to receive the most attention on the internet?

unfortunately sex sells. I believe that the internet also makes stupid people famous. I feel that things are getting more and more sexual in the untied states. For example if you watch a online show on Netflix, Hulu or amazon prime you'll notice that if the first season did well the second season will most defiantly have a noticeable increases in sexual interaction. I think people get attention and then to keep the attention they just start getting people naked. It's sad to be because it shows that they are not willing to be creative in their writing or screen play but instead fall back to a formula that's guaranteed to work but isn't tasteful. And the second thing is that social media has shined a light on the stupid people of the world. I actually have no idea how the kardasians are more of a household name in America then Winston Churchill or even Neil degrease. That alone shows where out attention and focus lies. Its a sad world when kids idolize plastic bodies instead of historical heroes.

Where do I obtain my news?

I receive my news exclusively from the internet. Mostly though news app for example NYT,SmartNews and other apps centered on news coverage. But mostly what happens it that I'll see something on social media and then go to the news app of my choice and read about it and find out what's going on. I find that when I keep up on the news constantly it gets depressing. I believe that news company decide to post things that are going to get the most views and usually means posting stuff that effects us with pathos. I like to think that the world is a nice place and we tend too only highlight the new or sad new instead of the cheerful and uplifting news. Also I hate reading about the constant news reports about Donald Trump. To summarize everything I keep to the internet because you can always dig a littler deeper then just that one news station or paper.

Do I believe in ghost or spirits?

I definitely believe in ghosts and spirits. To me there are a too many things that just can't be explained or coincidences that are just to perfect to be explainable. Ghost show up in folk lore across history and even in some more serious reports. I also believe that people don't just lie about random things. I have a tendency to ask people if they have any ghost stories and the ones that do have very intriguing stories to tell. What amazes me is the similarities between the stories. I don't know if that because everyone has read one ghost story and these bases theirs after that one? On the other hand it could mean that there are real and ghost have tendencies just like humans.
