In “Red Pill or Blue Pill: Is Ignorance Bliss? “By Christine Cornell and Patrick Malcolmson. Cornell and Malcolmson explain how “freedom is not something that most people are going to be inclined towards or be receptive to’’.
My argument is simple and straight to the point I feel people should be inclined toward freedom. Living in a world with out freedom will be chaotic I would demand to be free because I want to know the truth. I would have done the same thing as Neo did and swallow that red pill. People desire to have freedom and I would stand strong to who every challenge that.
Suddenly, the world that I use to live in would have been behind me YES!!!!! I am free now.
Once the red pill dissolved in me there would not be no turning back from the truth I been searching for my whole life. Now Morpheus and his team can guide me to the proper place and prepare me for my next encounter.
Since I was nine years old I knew that a change will come one day. It was difficult growing up as a child feeling like something is missing but I did not understand what it was. Now I understand that I wanted to feel free from all the negativity that was surrounding me in my environment. All the lies that I heard I just wanted to know the truth about the world we lived in and why are people so vindictive.

In “The Dangers of Reality TV” Timothy Sexton explains how reality TV pursue young fans in a negative way. According to Sexton, reality TV is promoting that competition is essential, it also creates an illusion that image is more significant than ability, and reality TV is implying that education is trivial. These messages are dangerous because it is molding the mind of young fans. Reality TV has a great influence on these young people and something has to be done to stop this now.
Reality TV should be band from influencing our youth especially when it is implying that education is unnecessary. It will destroy their minds and cause the younger population to become illiterates. Further more reality TV have episodes that parents would not agree or allow there children to watch. These episodes are exposing young kids to drugs and alcohol substances. These are not great quality that children should be exposes to. We need to put a stop to those reality shows that encourage our children to behavior in a negative fashion.
The reason why I feel so intense about reality TV molding young fans life mostly is because I have young children. My children love watching reality TV and so on, but when I see things like young adults drinking and smoking on reality TV. After I just had a conversation with my children about saying no to drugs and alcohol it bothers me. In addition I do not like how education is looked at as something that is not cool for young fans. Education is needed in our life with out it we will all be illiterate.
In my life experiences I always believed that what a child encounter while growing up will have an affect on their future. When reality TV send out messages that education is not necessary to accomplish the American dream. I taught back to what my children principal spoke about at a meeting. She explained to us that jails are build according to fourth grader's performance. If that is the case reality TV is dangerous to our children development. Now is the time to make sure our children have a fantastic upbringing so jail will not be their second residence.
Now that we are knowledgeable about reality TV and their dangerous messages, we can better prepare our children about the negativity that they will faces in the future. Therefore when their are interrupted with question like '' Why go to school and face the difficulties of learning something when you can just get on fear factor, eat bugs, and walk away with a bucket of money? '' Another thing our children will be faces with is drugs and alcohol product do to watching reality TV. I hope one day those individual who are behind reality TV will charge the way they expose young fans in a negative way. After all raising children is an arduous task, but we have to continue to be our children role model.

In blog six I will tell you a little bit about myself and how I disobeyed society rules. Growing up as a kid in the streets of Far rockaway was a challenge every day. I always hang out with old males that were five to ten years older than me. They teach me a lot about girls, fast money, and luxury items. Some of the many luxury items were cars, clothes, and jewelry. Those same items cause me a lot of problems growing up in a poor neighborhood. It made a lot of people jealous of me because I was able to afford expensive things. I got into fight with people in my neighborhood some my age but most of them were older individuals all because of jealousy.
I did not care about braking rules or the law as long as I could maintain my life style. What made me disobey the rules continuously was the power of independence and the adrenaline rush it gave me. Just knowing that I could make a six figure income with no education I felt omnipotent. When I purchase cars 90 percent of the time I buy it cash. Luxury cars made me feel like I was gliding on air.
What I expected from all the things I done was an adequate amount of currency so I would be able to open a business or franchise. Also my appearance had to be correct especially when I went places to network for business opportunity. Since I was a young adult I was taught to dress for success beside it made me feel empowered as well. Clothes do make a difference in how you conduct yourself or what society sees you as many times. Even thought I am not where I expected my life to be I did not give up.

In terms of writing skills I learned how to do annotation which helps me out every time I write. I am able to look back at what I wrote therefore I can focus on a main point. Annotating is always fantastic because I can learn new words that I underline once I am done with Annotating.
My proof that I comprehend the information properly or the best to my knowledge is simple. For instance when I asks Dr X question about my writing assignments and she give me her opinion. It ensures me that I did a great job on my academic task. Another way I can find out is when other student makes comments on my writing.
At this moment I do not really have a problem understanding these materials. I just need to practice writing more to become adept at it. In the beginner of the semester I had problem with writing a thesis statement and I had a lot of problems with grammar error, but now I understand it much better.
Over all I feel more confident about my basic writing skills because I have been practicing a lot. How ever one of the main reasons why I feel extremely enthusiastic about writing now is because I have an excellent professor. She creates strategy for me that I can grasp easily.
The only thing you should know about is that I appreciate you being a great professor. You helped me to develop a better understand about annotation, summary, thesis- based writing, and paragraphing. If you were not great I would be bored, but I like your style of teaching your very energetic.

I think the media is a big part of our life. We react like zombies the moment the media say anything!!!!! Do you realize they want control over the way we think? For instance, if we need to find out information about the weather, the news, or the latest movie what other option do we have besides the media? The affect they have on us can be use against us if we do not use other common sense. They have been controlling our emotion for history by what we hear and see on TV over all. I wonder sometimes if our life is like the Truman show.
We depend on the media like an infant depend on their mother for breast milk it is unbelievable. I feel at times I am being watch by the media or my life is like a movie. There is camera on almost every block; I wonder who is watching me now!!! That is how loss you can get when you are watching everybody else life on television. You will become delusion in fact look at the person next to you now. If they were day dreaming I wonder if they were feeling trapped inside a bubble or better known so the world it self.
Watch out!!!!!!! The media have been brain washing us for decades. You still do not believe it ok anytime we watch television we are being programmed. That is how they make a living from persuading us with all the latest movies, the news, and even the weather reports. Does it feel real like you are an actor in the movie when a scary part comes on? It also make you feel depress once you heard horrible information on the news. Finally the weather man announces it will be rainy all day. Then suddenly we see the sun come out blight as day.
