Entry #8 News

                     

      I didn't know what to talk about for this blog entry if I'm being completely honest but today were talking about news that's going on around us currently. Since majority of us are loaded with homework and responsibilities it feels like the world has gone silent and there isn't much going on, but surprisingly there's a lot of news and events. 

About a month has gone by and it seems like things have calmed down between Russia and Ukraine. People weren't posting about it on social media as much but a lot has gone down between these two countries. Putin's forces are preparing to expand control in the east and south side of Ukraine. The move follows Russia's failure to capture the capital city of Kyiv, according to sources. Putin recently just appointed General Alexander Dvornikov to lead the next phase of the War in Ukraine. Many believe including the U.S. that the new leader will change the outcome of the war. Not only that but concerns are on the rise since lots believe that innocent civilians could be targeted. The new General appointed by Putin is considered the worst of the worst. He's known for destroying city and killing lots of people. The Ukrainian president says that tens of thousands of people have already sadly been killed in Mariupol. President Zelenskyy also accused Russia of targeting and destroying over 300 hospitals. Sadly 4,232 casualties have been reported, and it's expected for numbers to still continue on the rise. Hopefully this tragic war comes to an end soon,  

Recently we have all heard about the shooting that injured at least five people at the Tanger Outlets here in Glendale. All of the victims thankfully are now recovering. So who exactly did this?  Well at this current moment a seventeen-year-old is being charged as an adult. Raul Franco is being accused of aggravated assault, misconduct, and endangerment involving weapons. It all went down because of some problems caused through social media.  


The world right now is crazy, be safe.

    Well I think that it is one of the worst ways to concur Ukraine. The people of Ukraine know if Russia takes over they will suffer. So they will fight Russia to the last man. This will lead to a costly war on Russia and the inability to expand further.

    Hey Yamin, I enjoy reading your blogs. I honestly feel bad for the people of Ukraine. Living in fear everyday, scared of what is coming tomorrow is the worst way to live. So many people have lost their loved ones and also one of the things that keep mankind going. They have lost hope and that is very sad.

    You are right the amount of bad things happening around, locally and all over the world is certainly sad. You can't go a day without getting a notification of something unfortunate happening, it is overwhelming to the say the least. So we should really be watching out for ourselves and be safe.

Entry #9 Media

   Media is something that has me and most of you constantly looking at our phones whether we admit or not. First we start looking at our phones for a couple of minutes but then those minutes turn into hours. It's addicting no doubt. After a little bit of research I came across that apparently 4.62 billion people in the world now people use social media. Which is really mind-blowing.  Media sources can also really impact our view of the world. A term used to describe this would be gatekeeping. This basically refers to the fact that media controls the information we get, and therefore what we think about. Editors here contain lots of power because they basically decide what we end up hearing about therefore what we also think about.    Media is seen everywhere. It's like there's no escape. We see all different types of media everyday. They come our way in many different types of forms as well. They come in magazines, usually containing over like one hundred ads. Or that'

Entry #10 School Safety

   We come to school almost on a daily basis to learn and to see our friends, let's be honest. Usually when it comes to school we think of it as a safe place. Lots of people think of schools as a safe zone because majority of schools are constantly being protected by police officers on campus. It came down to police officers having to be on watch on school grounds because of tragic events that have occurred in the past. Which is sad to think about. Are schools really safe? Even with measurements taken to protect students? Recently I came across a story that is truly devastating. Alycia Reynaga was a 15 year old who had her life planned ahead of her but sadly was cut short. This story truly hit me hard because I have a sibling who is the same age as her, and they're both freshmen in high school. She loved softball. In fact she was on the high school team, she was loved by her teammates and lots of people. Her community still remains disbelief.  She was murdered on school grounds

Blog Entry #5 Doug Ducey

        Ducey: Why Arizona needs more college grads               Hi welcome back, today's blog isn't going to be about the weather this time, or what has been going on with Russia and Ukraine, or Covid. Instead we are going to talk about a local news article that came out a couple of years ago called "why Arizona needs more college grads". When I was about to graduate high school there was no denying I was nervous. Simply because I didn't know if I wanted to continue my education journey. There were lots of factors that came to mind. I was probably not the only student who thought about financial problems, if college is even worth all the stress we were about to go through, what to major in, and so on.      Immediately at the beginning of the article, Doug Ducey made sure that we knew he was talking to his audience from a husband/father perspective, and not as an elected official. Simply to make a type of connection with readers, and make them understand that he
