Immigration Classroom Discussion-J1

Immigration Class Discussion





After the current events quiz #4. There was a question about immigration. The question was asking what was happening to the teenage immigrant  camps/shelters. We started talking about how news reporters were finally able to see the shelters. Many people raised their hands to discuss the conditions and their moral policy on immigration.

We all agreed that the United States had a problem with the border. But, some of us disagreed on how we should handle it. People like me said make it easier to come in legally so people wouldn't have to come illegally to escape vast poverty, drugs and violence, and oppressive governments. Others stated we should have much more border control(building the wall, increased amount of border control agents,and you get sent back if you came illegally).  We had fierce debate back and forth with each other and it was great to hear both sides.

The class still had one more thing to say about immigration. We talked about the immigration problem in class. Many people stated their opinions once again. I could see the concern in everyone's eyes and the understanding that had to take place in listening to others opinions. I made a comment on how the media often blows both sides of the debate up. Fox News will say “The immigrants are killing people at rapid rates!!!!” and we should all also know that isn't true. MSNBC will say “ Immigrants don’t do any crime” so I often don’t listen to mainstream media, because they spew that kind of garbage on a daily basis.  This was a great class discussion . Thank you for reading

Printing Press Discussion-What if it didn't exist?-J1

Today in class we talked about how our lives would be different if the printing press didn’t exist. I can tell you know that we had some deep thoughts in this discussion. My first reaction was me not doing anything but working. We wouldn’t have any kind of school unless you were rich. Imagine not having a chance to go to school because you’re poor or not good enough. That would be outrageous. We would all be illiterate. Books would be few, and life would be hard. We would have to literally sit around and talk amongst each other. What a radical idea? Things would be very different. I heard multiple people say they wouldn’t even be here. Either they were mixed or their parents met in college. The reason I say mixed people wouldn’t be alive is because their ancestors come from different areas around the world. People didn’t travel  much prior to the Colonial era. People lived tight knit societies. You would have regional activities that only they would know. There would be many di...

News Response-J1

When searching WLKY’s  website, I find very good stories one I just read was very informative. This story was named “ Pittsburgh synagogue shooting suspect pleads not guilty, requests jury trial”. I applaud the jouralist who wrote this--(https://www.wlky.com/article/squirrel-hill-synagogue-shooting-suspect-pleads-to-charges/24512762). They gave great info. Detailed charge details for the killer. This article is the golden piece to the first thing you learn in journalism, the truth. WE should all use this example for any journalism class. This is the most unbiased piece I’ve ever seen. I think we need to be unbiased. Too many times I see biased news stories which aren’t good for the public. He/She did not let her opinion show one bit. She/ He got straight to the facts and never looked back.

Class Response-J1 blog

A couple of days ago both journalism classes had a group discussion. Mr.Miller made a Google Slideshow called “72 hours of hell”.  That was a very good title. Last week was tragic for too many people. From the Kroger shooting, to the package bombs, and lastly the Synagogue shooting in Pennsylvania. We really needed to talk about this. Mr.Miller went over stuff that we as regular citizens should do.  We openly talked about these terrible acts and heard many opinions on the topic. I comment I heard specifically was “ These terrible acts are happening from both sides of the aisle”, but that's simply not true. When in last 10 years have you  seen any leftist do something to this degree? I bet your answer was “no” . We talked on how we should watch out for ourselves and overall be more aware. I think in today's society we need to change the way we think. These crazed people were  racist, Anti-semitic , hated all minorities. Maybe mental health was a problem, but t...
