Prediction

They were useful because they explained multiple ways of how to define a prediction. In mission critical was very useful because they provided more about what can be proven with facts leading to a stronger prediction. The website provided a lot of questions and as more facts were recorded into the answer the higher the prediction was coming true. In casual argument most of it was based on what could have happened more assumption to make a stand. There are many sides to the reason why things happen and they just provided many ways in why it could happen. There are not many facts more like something that people observe in one point of view. Not much hard facts and everything is based on a judgment. Therefore I believe mission critical was most useful because it provided hard facts in the argument.

Perception

When I was in high school there were many times when I had misleading perception of people in my school. I’m not necessarily judging but their attitude towards me when they approach me. I remember I thought one of my classmates didn’t like me because he always gave me a stare that just didn’t look pleasant. He was always mad in class, always putting a grudge on his face. Therefore I believed he just hated everyone and must be having bad days everyday. I really thought he was that kind of person and whenever we had group projects I would try to not be in the same group because he didn’t look social either. My friends actually knew him so it gave me a chance to see what’s his problem and turned out he had horrible vision and just wasn’t a morning person. I was surprised because he was a friendly person and very humorous apparently. After that I never assumed anything until I actually knew more about the person. I feel like observations don’t always give you the exact prediction but more of a thought of what might be true.

Virgo

My horoscope is a Virgo and this is what it shows for the day “Someone who is going through some demanding work issues needs your compassion today.” I actually check my horoscope whenever I stream the web just because it gives me an idea on how my day can turn out. They aren’t always true but most of the time it’s like right on point. Either the day eventually turns out like they predicted or its already what they predicted. I feel like science strengthens people’s predictions. They provide a good amount of facts leading to a logical prediction. I feel like observing a person for a while we can also make predictions of others and sometimes be on point too. Science shows that many of our actions define who we are and if we do things constantly scientists can figure out our personality and who we are as a person. Therefore I do believe in these daily horoscopes just because everyday you don’t know what are going to come up and this daily horoscope gives me an idea of what might come. 

News Bias

I would like to talk about the point about bias in the news. I definitely notice the bias in the news today and I feel like they hide things from their viewers. This is their strategy in manipulating the viewers and making them believe in something that they want them to hear. I feel like the government definitely censors some of the things they show in the news so it won’t show a bad side to what the government does. Especially thing they want to hide from the audience so it doesn’t cause any violence toward them. That’s why I feel like I shouldn’t believe in everything they show in the news because I know there is always another story to things. I usually analyze the news much more the get a better understanding of what happened. That way I know I'm not agreeing to something when only knowing one part of the story. The Internet definitely exposes this bias from the news letting the audience know what is actually happening inn the world. I take the Internet really serious because there is so much networking online; it keeps us notified of what’s really happening. What I see on TV could have some fallacy that I wouldn’t understand until it is fully proven to me. Therefore I believe news is bias, and every one should not put their full belief into it until all research is done.

Internet Plagiarism

Sadler explains how Internet plagiarism is wrong because there are many wrongs in doing so. She talks about how plagiarism can affect the people in school such as professors and the fellow classmates in ones class. Plagiarism affects the students by not doing equal amounts of work as others in the class. Mostly plagiarism is seen as unfair to students and professors. Plagiarism abuses the rule of academic honesty, which gives other students the reason to do the same. Hunt explains how many students do this to follow the rules of every teacher. Students have many different teachers, which is not surprisingly teaching their own way. Internet plagiarism is used to satisfy these teachers. Overall most students use plagiarism just to keep up their grade and that’s what most students aim for therefore its ok to cut some corners some times. Overall they do enough research just to get the grade they deserve. I believe Sadler had a much stronger argument because she provides much more reasons and the fairness of not plagiarizing. Some students do try much harder than the ones who plagiarize and are unfair to some students. I believe plagiarism is not a bad thing if you know how to use it. As long as you are able to understand the text there should be no reason why you cant use it. 

Media Experience

Media experiences affect me on my worldviews and what I value today. What I see in the media is where I usually make my decisions or they affect my every decision. The more media I am exposed to the more it shows up on my head. There are many media messages Imp surrounded by therefore I usually analyze them by searching them online and reading about the purpose of the message. I feel like every message the media sends has a reason behind it and before I agree with it I definitely have to do my research before I can refer it to other people. The Internet is where most people get their mass media and I feel like it definitely affects all our decisions. The social networking among the people who surf the web shows everyone’s point of views making it easier for everyone to connect easily. The more people start to connect the greater the chance people are going through changes of what they value and what they perceive the world as.

Advertisements

I was most interested in talking about how people advertise today. I feel like advertising is a very strong way in attracting consumer. Ads are not an easy thing to do either; it has to be smart and clever to make a consumer buy their product. I feel like the strongest way in attracting a consumer is definitely from the connection they make with the consumer. If there is no connection from the media and the consumer, there will be no reason for them to buy their product. The media also has to keep up to date in to what is “in” and what is “out” that way there on the same page as the consumers. Advertisers are selling their stuff so they should give there “all out” at all times or the consumer wont by. Like in our Boss text, the consumers are the judges and the producers have to sell themselves to consumers in order to benefit. Another way is definitely through what we see on TV, if we saw a product that a celebrity is using, consumers are definitely attracted to. I feel like advertising is a hard thing to do and takes a lot of thought to attract the consumer.

Ways of Advertisments

Wootan insists that advertisements regulate on their advertisement because their target is a mainly child. She believes that these advertisements should involve more nutritious food therefore children are attracted to it and start eating healthy. She show statistics of advertising fast foods to the children and ever since she believes a certain percent of these kids get a little overweight as years pass by. Her strategy is to prevent obesity and she believes regulating the advertisements can help children in becoming obese in a later age. Liodice believes that we all have freedom of speech therefore we can express what they want. He believes there shouldn’t be a limit to what people advertise because they wont is able to show what they are fully capable of. I believe Wootan makes the stronger argument because it does target everyone and its not always a message everyone understands. People get manipulated in ads and I think if there was more regulation it would prevent any health matters to consumers. She provided with the example of obesity and which I believe is a huge problem today in the US so I would have to agree with Wootan.

Marketing Strategies

There are definitely many strategies in marketing people use today. Most are effective which attracts their consumers in buying their products. On marketing strategy that I have encountered recently is online for tickets for sport games. Since basketball season and baseball season just started tickets are very cheap online. The ads online attract me to buy them because most people just want to save. I felt like this was a good technique because I notice people only like to buy stuff when they see discounts, no matter how much they get deducted off but either way they save in the end. Consumers today definitely compare products everyday because the resources are easy to get. For example I love researching a product online before I buy it, then I would like to ask my friends. This strategy is a critique strategy because they have the product themselves and they give me reviews on it and if not I will check the consumer reviews online. This is one of the most effective ways in selling a product when they let the people review on their product.
