Blue Roses Need Thrones

 This article addresses the very important water crisis we are facing here in Arizona. Climate change has made the extremely important Colorado river which Arizona relies on for much of its water supply become scare in resources. I found the rhetoric of this post to be appropriate for the topic at hand. The author remained professional while at the same time giving suggestions on how to handle the water crisis without making it seem overly bias or like an opinion piece.  I thought this piece was very interesting and I appreciated the way it addressed the larger effects this and other water related problems can have on the environment and their contribution to larger climate disasters. The author mentions the impact this can have on farmers and subsequently our food supply. This article also vaguely touches on the ways in which the climate crisis is already impacting lower impact people and how they will be hit the worse by climate changes full effects if it's not combated. The...

Cable seems to be a dying business nowadays with streaming services dominating there is no need to pay for cable on top of the probably half a dozen streaming services most of us have. Not to mention the con of having to sit through commercials. Many shows are available to watch the next day of their streaming counterparts. But nothing quite adds up to the experience of watching a show live while it airs for the first time. So, don't cancel your cable yet because there still plenty of shows that keep network television exciting in 2023.  9-1-1 and 9-1-1 Lonestar First up is 9-1-1 and its spinoff 9-1-1 lone star. Both follow a group of firefighters and the outlandish calls they take that can at times be life threating. Of course, no workplace centered drama would be complete without drama. Both are certainly worth your time but I'm personally partial to 9-1-1 Lone star. 9-1-1 stars Angela Bassett and Lonestar stars Rob Lowe. 9-1-1 is on Monday night at 7 pm MST and 9-1-1 Lone s...

  80-year-old Biden says concerns over his age are 'totally legitimate' as he weighs 2024 bid (msn.com)   This article from Fox News is an example of a slanted article. This article is about the concerns some have of President Biden's age. This is not an opinion piece and although it's not specifically stated in the article it is clear the journalist who wrote believes the President is too old to run for reelection. This article appears simply reporting on the concerns some have about the President's age, but language choice makes it clear that the author shares that concern. The headline of the article uses a quote from the President himself where he states that people's concerns over his age are "totally legitimate". The author uses this quote as the "gotcha" moment the entire article's premise is based around. If someone had just read the headline, they would probably interpret the President's quote as a concession he agrees he is ...

 Hello to all who are reading. I know the title is very oddly specific and frankly probably doesn't sound all too interesting, but this is my soapbox for today so bear with me. I have recently started watching the show Ghosts (UK) which is actually quite good if you're able to look past the British accents (no offensive to any brits who may be reading, well okay maybe a little.) The first three seasons are available to watch on HBO Max, but the fourth season is not yet available and despite the fact that the season premiered months ago there isn't even as much as an ETA as to when it will be streaming. This makes me ponder the question what exactly is taking so long? I'm not in the show biz but I seriously can not think of a single good reason as to why you have to wait months for a show that is literally already filmed, and millions of people have already seen to come out on a streaming service that you have to pay to use. Especially when you already have to wait a yea...

  Entry #1: The World is Your Blog I intentionally thought that blogs were an outdated and relevant concept that served no purpose in society especially in the year 2023. And although it does seem like blogs for the most have their glory days behind them (as it is hard to find one that has made an updated post in the last 4 years) I now see the purpose that blogs can serve and why a person would make one.  I read three different blog websites. Words for Worms, The Dish, and Occupy Wall Street. I liked Words for Worms and Occupy Wall Street however, I did not like The Dish.  Words for Worms is a blog a book reviews. The author’s name is Katie and she reviews various different books of all different genres on her blog. What I liked about her blog is the writing style. Her reviews are very unserious and have personal antidotes. They’re informal and funny to read unlike a “professional” review which are often long and boring and make me uninterested in reading the book if any...

 Hi, my name is Katelynn. Welcome to my blog!  Some of my hobbies include reading and watching tv. My interests include marvel and dc movies and shows, and politics. My major is political science.   Research has the purpose of informing. Research has impacted me by making me a critical thinker. I have been able to become well informed and passionate about many different topics through research. Research is vitally important and must also be done carefully so that we know we are being well informed and given accurate information. The interment has made research easier than ever before, but it has also made it easier to corrupt than ever before. No all research will give of the most factual results that why we must be critical in our research as well. I hope to use research in this course to help me write thoughtful and articulate essays.   The focus of this blog will be to learn and write about topics that are new to me and share with the class topics that I...
