Extra Credit: My Reaction to Michael Moore’s film Capitalism: A Love Story

After watching Michael Moore's Film Capitalism: A Love Story, I have many thoughts roaming my head. First off I don't agree with everything he says. The number one thing I do not agree with is his perception of eviction. My mother is a real estate broker and there are laws that protect home owners. It is illegal to evict someone without proper notice and reason. The home owner has the break either a rule they signed in their agreement or they did not pay their rent/mortgage. Who knows what the story behind the eviction is in this film. To me it is clearly very bias.

Personally I think Michael Moore exaggerates a lot! He used the word capitalism in a bad way. To him capitalism is a terrible word and basically a curse word. In my opinion Michael Moore is a socialist and isn't that word "socialist" a evil word as well? The way Moore perceives capitalism and democracy is very exaggerated and inaccurate.

I do agree with him when it comes to the corruption of this country and leadership fails, but then again could he have done any better. I believe people are selfish. They think about themselves and the few close people around them and what will be the most beneficial move and decision for them. This is America, and America votes for these people. Who should we really be blaming?

Choosing The Right Habitat For Your Russian Tortoise

Many people have pets such as dogs, cats, fish, ferrets, etc. but did you know Russian tortoises make great pets as well? The Russian tortoise is one of the smallest species of tortoises ever!

A small tortoise, such as the Russian tortoise can be housed indoors or outdoors depending on the climate you live in and they make great pets! Indoor Enclosure Depending on what kind of climate you live in, indoor enclosures may be the choice for you. The bigger the terrarium  is the better.  If you decide to keep your Russian tortoise indoors keep in mind the temperature should be in the range of 68 to 80 degrees.

BLOGS, BLOGS, AND MORE BLOGS! What do you think?

People are always wanting to become a "Bloggers", whether it be personal or professional. It can be interesting how people compose their blogs. Some look so engaging while others do not. Since I'm giving this " blog life" a shot I decided I would do some research of my own. I came across a few blogs. Some I enjoyed and really admire, while others not so much. I like to start off with the negative and the blogs I didn't enjoy as much and then ending on a good note.  The first blog I came across was: All the Xbox One Indie, Third-Party and First-Party Launch Titles by Matt Peckham The moment I opened this blog I knew I did not like it before even reading the post and what it is about. The layout to me looked more like a article then blog. I do understand that this is a professional blog, but in my eyes it looks like a advertisement more so.  As I read through the article and learned a little about the Xbox, I felt like it left me hanging. Maybe the author...

Entry #3: Slanted Reporting In United Airlines Incident

This past week the video of the man being dragged off of the United Airlines flight has god viral! When you turn on the television you see the video on the news and you hear the news reporter expressing some sort of emotion, most likely a melancholy tone in this case.  I came across this well viewed article and video about the situation. This article is slanted. For example, the first thing you see and notice before you even begin reading the article is the article title. The word "dragged" just expresses a sorrow feeling. Just the word "dragged" itself does not sound pleasant or positive in any matter, especially when it comes to dragging a human.  The second thing I noticed was the first sentence in this article, " The disturbing scene captured on cellphone videos by  United Airlines  passengers on Sunday went beyond the typical nightmares of travelers on an overbooked flight". The second word in this test is "disturbing". This article clea...
