...Counterterrorism Blog offers itself as "unique, multi-expert … one-stop gateway to the counterterrorism community." Entries are soberly reported right–leaning comments on a wide range of terrorist groups, global terrorism issues and the war on terror. The site is especially good at raising and weighing terrorist and related threat issues. Inside Iraq Inside Iraq blogs are written by Iraqi journalists who are working for McClatchy Newspaper (an American syndicate). The bloggers from Baghdad and the provinces share what their lives are like in the shadow of an incomplete war. They offer a wonderful supplement to the news, whether commenting on Iraqi politics, their kids' accomplishments, or their views of Iraq's past and future. Afghanistan Conflict Monitor The Afghanistan Conflict Monitor collects article on Afghanistan and Pakistan from the point of view of war and security. Attacks, plans, Taliban and Al Qaeda activities, and news about deployed forces from Canada, the United States and elsewhere are frequent items. This is a good site to gather up-to-date news coming out of Afghanistan. Iraq the Model Iraq the Model is a well-read blog on war, coalition moves, and regional conflict, judging by its comments. These lively comments can make it worth a trip. The origins of the blog are obscure though. Links out are to well-known right wing commentators and American military sites, such as CENTCOM. There's nothing illegitimate about this per se, just wish the blog would announce...

...The Media and Its Responsibilities Student Name Introduction to Ethics and Social Responsibility – SOC 120 Instructor June 19, 2011 Today’s media has been granted access to military operations to report to our society the facts as they happen. Some may argue that certain military facts should not be revealed to the United States public. The media and the First Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof: or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. (www.constitution.net). The law prohibited the publication of false, scandalous, and malicious writing or writings against the government of the United States, or either house of the Congress of the United States, or the President of the United States, with intent to defame or to stir up sedition within the United States. What the media seems to overlook is that specific acts in a combat zone have a purpose that may or may not comply with the morals of our society. The media takes utilitarianism the ethical theory that determines the moral value of an act in terms of its results and if those results produce the greatest good for the greatest number and uses it to report sensitive information. They also use another theory to appeal to the good nature and moral upbringing of Americans and that is their virtue ethics they focus...

...Brooke Basham April 20 2014 Research Paper News coverage is always evolving. The media industry gets a jolt from certain events, which brings instant change on how the media portrays these events. The media is faced with extreme controversy because media outlets are bias. The media is a form of propaganda making their bias tendencies a serious problem. Fox news was the most popular news coverage during the 2003 invasion on Iraq. They influenced other media outlets to cover war in the same way. CNN and MSNBC do not cover war the same way as Fox. The media has a tendency to leave out important information while covering war. They usually only show the pro-war side and not the anti-war side. As we all know, the media is a huge part of our every day lives. Whether we notice it or not, television and the Internet is our main source to obtain information. It is commonly used and widespread because it is used in many countries. Today, most people have phones that can access the Internet making a source of media right at your fingertips. We want to believe everything the media says because they are delivering important information about our country, but unfortunately it is not always accurate. Some believe media coverage is mainly influenced by national contexts. Coverage is expected to vary from news station to news station (Gerhards and Schafer 2013). A news station has different journalist, which separates every station from each other. Each station may believe in different...

Writers are "suppose" to have blogs and publishing companies want you to have them. They want to know you have a readership built up somewhere so they know at least somewhere out in the world some people enjoy your writing on some level. But none of that matters to me at the moment.

There are many polls and research studies done to obtain information. c. Gun control laws are racist. i. Gun control is strongest in communities that are poor, inner city, and black because they are deemed more dangerous than white communities. UCLA Law Professor Adam Winkler goes into detail about how the KKK was the original gun-control organization. Before the Civil War, Black people could not own guns. After the war, Whites wanted to keep guns away from African Americans. In 1831, a law was passed that stated black people weren’t able “to keep or carry any firelock of any kind, any military weapon, or any powder or lead.” 1. Washington's Blog.

...THE “BLOG” EXPERIENCE: WHEN FREEDOM BECOMES INVASION INTRODUCTION Francois Voltaire, one of France’s most famous philosophers became well-known for this often quoted phrase: “I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend, to the death, your right to say it.” The phrase summarizes the spirit of the freedom of speech – one of the inventions of the 18th century Enlightenment, a time when discussions among the upper class were construed as constituting the public sphere. Although they belonged to the sophisticated members of society, their conversations highlighted social equality and everyone was given the chance to speak and be demanded to listen. With free and frank conversations, people became acquainted with points of view that were not familiar; they discovered strengths and weaknesses in their personal arguments, and subsequently became moderate in the expression of their views taking into consideration the arguments of others. With this small light ignited in the intellectual realm, the idealism of free communication of thoughts and opinions spread and became one of the trademarks of democratic societies. During the next century, John Stuart Mill affirmed that societies progress when people freely express themselves because errors and misconceptions are exposed, and alternatives were proposed. These sentiments became the backbone of the United Nations’ Declaration of Human Rights, adopted in 1948...

Although it is called “Fangirl Topia”, Fan-woman, Fan-men, and Fanboys are welcome. Declaration of Independence When in the course of human events, it becomes important for social classes to be divided. After the blog war of 2022, President Kanye West divided the United States of America into the US and Fangirl Topia. Fangirl Topia now occupies the region of California, Montana, Nevada, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, and only part of Wyoming due to the civil war after the release of Superman v Batman: Dawn of Justice in 2016. The US has broken our trust by bullying and judging Fangirls, Fanboys, Fan-men, and Fan-women. Many US citizens also think very little of books, movies, etc., and that will not be tolerated. The need to form Fangirl Topia came from the ideas of the Blog War and the judgements of many US citizens....

...Chicago-Style Citation Quick Guide The Chicago Manual of Style presents two basic documentation systems: (1) notes and bibliography and (2) author-date. Choosing between the two often depends on subject matter and the nature of sources cited, as each system is favored by different groups of scholars. The notes and bibliography style is preferred by many in the humanities, including those in literature, history, and the arts. This style presents bibliographic information in notes and, often, a bibliography. It accommodates a variety of sources, including esoteric ones less appropriate to the author-date system. The author-date system has long been used by those in the physical, natural, and social sciences. In this system, sources are briefly cited in the text, usually in parentheses, by author’s last name and date of publication. The short citations are amplified in a list of references, where full bibliographic information is provided. Aside from the use of notes versus parenthetical references in the text, the two systems share a similar style. Click on the tabs below to see some common examples of materials cited in each style, including examples of common electronic sources. For numerous specific examples, see chapters 14 and 15 of the 16th edition of The Chicago Manual of Style. * * * * * Notes and Bibliography: Sample Citations The following examples illustrate citations using the notes and bibliography system.

...The Bacon's Rebellion was one of the largest popular Rebellion that uprising prior to the American revolution. This large Rebellion had began as a dispute among the English settlers in Virginia Over the Americans Indian policy. The civil war had erupted pitting Anti- American Indian westerns settlers( this include that there were many slaves and servants in the anti-American civil war. Governor William Berkeley and his allies where encouraged more and more policy toward the indigenous people. In 1876 the rebellion had took the name of the Nathaniel Bacon, that who had arrived as the young men in Virginia into the Elite. Most of all the consequence of wars in the Rebellion were profound than the idea and the sing leadership man. When Bacon had migrated to Virginia to search the personal gain that he entered a precarious world where the American Indians had freed and enslaved blacks, and the English colonist (including many contract with the servants) struggle to the coexist. By the late 1670 only four thousands of the American Indians, had divided twenty different tribes, that continued to live in close to the European settlers. Many of the Europeans settlers accepted the dependent status of the English crown. Governor Berkeley had treated equitably and distinguish between American Indians allies and foes. Regardless about the colonists those people that where located on the western frontier, were deeply evil to all the American Indians. All the details to the rebellion...

...1. The Huffington Post has a blog with an entry titled, We Now Have Bigger Things to Fight Than Kim Davis in which the writer asks the question ‘can LGBT and allied Americans resist a hate group's bait?’. The blog piece is different from a news article in that this brief commentary on a county clerk’s position to not issue marriage license to same sex couples is full of the writers’ personal opinion, ideas on how to handle the situation that doesn’t involve a background in problem solving, or psychology or science. It’s just one writer’s opinion on the situation and what they believe the best way to handle it is. While an opinion piece, the blogger poses a slight threat to the neutrality journalists are expected to express in a news story. While the issue being talked about is a touchy subject for many, not just homosexuality but also Kim Davis in her own right, a journalist is expected to deliver facts. Sure in a way that can engage and entertain readers but, they are supposed to be neutral. The tone of the piece is not neutral. There is sentiment there that makes it more personal and might pose a problem to the accuracy of the piece. It’s important to remember that most blogs are considered ‘watchdogs to improve credibility and trust in the media”. But the questions is always asked of how credible is the blog itself.

...Football and society I am writing this blog in order to highlight the effects football has had on society and how society has changed or influenced football in a particular way. I have been a football fan for as long as I remember and it has been a huge part of my life. It has affected the way in which I think and also my physical health. If I was asked when I was young what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would give the same answer as the majority of my peers, which was to be a professional football player, playing for my favourite team. Which I’m sure made my father gravely disappointed as he would have imagined a completely different path for me, He would have liked me to be a professional footballer playing for his favourite team. The reason I say ‘Completely different path’ isn’t just an attempt to be humorous it is an indication as to how seriously some football fans take the game. Calling it a game in fact would almost be blasphemous to some who see it as more of a way of life. Opposing sides are no longer commonly referred to as competitors they are known as your Rivals, implying they are your enemy. Even in the lowest tiers of Football, where your average working person plays, the game has been taken so seriously that people have been badly injured through ‘off the field’ violence, Parents and supporters can be seen hurling obscene abuse at children and even members of the clubs partaking can be witnessed behaving in such a manner that they either have to be sent...
