Entry #5 Crisis

Image
  Hello all, it has been brought to my attention that Arizona is facing a water crisis. I figured/knew we were in a climate change crisis however, I didn't think we were in a water crisis. In this article:  https://earth.org/arizona-water-shortage/ . This describes perfectly what is going on in Arizona. The water storage crisis is impacting everyone in terms of drinking water and crops. It is also affecting small towns, who would've thought? Something I learned was that Arizona uses 40% of water supplies underground. This of course is an issue like climate change that has been going on for a long time and is  at a point where we need to change before it's too late. Thank you all and stay safe.

Entry #4 Christmas

  Hello all, it has saddened me that fall has quickly started and ended. However, it is now the season of GIFTING and Mariah. I'm kidding, I know it is not all about that but it is the most important aspect. Growing up I was never really interested in Christmas. To me, it was just another dreaded holiday. However, I don't know what has come over me these past few years but I just love Christmas. Obviously not as much as Halloween but it's pretty close. I just love the atmosphere that Christmas creates. It's a very loving yet cold atmosphere.  Here in Arizona for me, I consider 70 and below pretty cold. I do enjoy it when it gets cold because then I go up to Flagstaff and have fun in the snow. My favorite part of Christmas is of course the different cultures that celebrate. No matter the culture their concepts are very similar. I am having a bit of writer's block so that will be all for now. Until next time!

Entry #3 Bias

  Hello all, in this blog I will be discussing bias in the media. Unfortunately, it’s quite common which is ridiculous but they have to brain wash you some how. For this blog I will be discussing a article that I found which is both bias and a little funny. Its mainly funny because of how it starts off. The article in question is the  https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/pharmacy-strike-cvs-walgreens-rite-aid-worker-conditions-rcna121944 . The article starts off with “ Pharmacies are boring. Pharmacies are supposed to be boring. But lately, they might be getting too interesting for comfort.” When it comes to the bias I understand it but for some reason it's hard to explain. Throughout the article its pretty clear that the writer is in favor of the pharamiscts which he should be but when writing articles relating to media it is important to remain as neutral as possible. Showing bias can tell the adueicen that really you only care for one side. This doesnt create credibilt
