Replying to machinery

I think that having everything being taken over my machinery and offering control to robots is detrimental to human society. I find it interesting that people are fond of these ideas and look forward to them. I feel as if with this implemented it will only be the start to everything that humans are surrounded with to turn into being robotized. At the rate we are going, the world is on a fast track to obesity if everything is being done for us. Something as little as preparing your own meals on a daily basis is the most physical activity some people get. Not only will this cause major problems as far as human involvement but it will decrease jobs all across the nation. I agree that technology is focused on making our lives easier and less worrisome but I feel as if in the process of this a lot of negative side effects are being overlooked. With machinery at our disposable it will cause a huge decrease in jobs and people will find themselves being more and more unemployed. Having huma...

Agreement Response

I entirely agree with RmKinney's post regarding the poor choices in candidates that were available to us in the recent 2016 election for presidency. As far as Trump and Clinton are concerned, they both definitely have faults that prevent this country from achieving any positive progression and far from any greatness. Although Clinton hasn't been sworn into presidency it can be expected from light that has shined on issues from her past that she would be a disgrace to many women out there to take office as the first female president. I also agree that Trump is definitely not a good current president and he is selfish in his own interests not concerned for the better good for the country. Having the house and senate majority republican gives the president an edge and having people working for him that agree with all his policies makes it easy for the president to shape the government in his favor and get things to work biased. It is unfortunate to see the day we live in a cou...

The Criminal Investigations into Harvey Weinstein

This article by Think Progress titled "The criminal investigations into Harvey Weinstein" discusses the ongoing case of Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein who has allegedly sexually harassed or assaulted nearly 60 women. This article was written by author Jessica M. Goldstein. Goldstein uses critical evidence to show the multiple cases and women who have confessed to being sexually offended by Weinstein. On multiple occasions women talk about the way they felt objectified because of the way Weinstein addressed them. Acting with these women in such an inappropriate manner has put Weinstein in a compromising position for his career and his future. Goldstein uses appropriate evidence from the NYPD, the UK police, and even the LAPD, to provide evidence into the ongoing cases against Weinstein. She references women from the past three decades who have been paid to drop charges or keep their mouths shut in order for Weinstein's freedom. The author compares Weinstein to othe...

If Only Stephen Paddock Were a Muslim

In the recent article written by Thomas L. Friedman titled "If Only Stephen Paddock Were a Muslim" , Friedman discusses the unquestionable and active choice that legislators and the president are making to avoid changes in the gun control policy. After the unfortunate Las Vegas incident, Friedman discusses how he barely thought there would've been a change seen by the government regarding gun control policies, but even that little hope was a disappointment. Friedman continues to say that in the event Stephen Paddock hadn't been a white American man labeled as "mentally ill" and had been a Muslim man, there might've been immediate enforcement by President Trump to do whatever it is to fix such an act of public "terrorism". However, because it had only been a white old male, society is expected to sit down with their mouths closed and justify the act by means of "mentally ill". America silently accepts the rage of a white man but if the...

Trump vs. Press

The Trump Administration has an ongoing war with the press. Media Matters provides us with an ongoing list on multiple occasions where president Trump and his administration continue to attack the press. These attacks are unjust and unfair and in many different occasions pose threats to the First Amendment rights of freedom to press. Trump started these attacks during his campaign and has continued with them through his current administration. Because of his personal opinions Trump calls out news channels that comment on his presidency. Some of his bold attacks include calling CNN "fake news" on February 1st, which was only a few days after his inauguration. On February 5 Trump called out the NY Times. He called them "FAKE NEWS" and lost for "bad and inaccurate coverage" of him after the election. More recently on August 8th trump tweeted “Don’t Believe The Fake News Suppression Polls!” again attacking CNN and calling them for fake because of a CNN Poll t...
