Migration

I learned today about migration that most people was going to bigger regions or were it was more populated. I saw that a lot of people were going either to Europe, or North America. I think it is very interesting that the majority of people were moving to the more populated area or "popular".  I also learned that in the PBS Race quiz that what people stereotype what African, Asian, or Indian people look like may be very different then what they actually look  like.

Philanthropy

Philanthropy is wanting to help the human kind. I really like Andrew Carnegie and what he was  doing by really wanting to help areas that need better education. I think its very helpful to towns and country to have libraries given to them to help broaden their minds. I would like to also help with safety, more specifically , in Africa and creating a safe environment for kids to learn and grow in.

Thinking About Success

Ranking of the Four Words:
1. Opportunity
2. Hard Work
3. Skill
4. Luck

I ranked this words in this order because I believe that all are important but opportunity should be first. Opportunity is first because I believe if you have the opportunity to do something great you should take it, but you can also lose it because you have to work hard at it. That is why hard work is next because I believe after you have the opportunity you have to work hard at to keep it and get skilled at it. That is why I ranked Skill third. I ranked it third because after you work hard you become skilled at it and you start to have natural skill in your choice of job or in your opportunity. After all of those I believe Luck is last because after you have become skilled at something you need a little bit of luck to "open doors" for new opportunities in your work place.

Exploring Business and Clothing Industry

I learned today that there is a ton of work that goes behind getting new clothes in to a big name brand store, and we don't even think about it. In the fashion world there is so much more than the clothes, its about making, producing and the business side of making the clothes. I never really thought about that the clothes I buy have probably been all around the world. But its crazy to think that my clothes were made in a different country then shipped here to america. The couple of questions I have is how do the business people know what country would be best for buying their clothes? This topic is very interesting to me, it makes me more interested in it because you don't really think about it.

History Textbook shaping the way of seeing Native Americans

This online textbook put the Native Americans in a bad light. From looking at different text through out this history book the Native American came across very hostile to the white settlers, but in the textbook they were sure to say "Again the savages were pursued without mercy." (pg.32). This quote was found in different parts of the textbook but in different wording. When looking up the word "savages" many text around the word was about how the indians killed some white people. This would shape my view point of Native Americans by thinking they were all very hostile and vengeful, even though I'm sure there are some peaceful tribes.

Indians in the Newspaper

I found in one of the newspaper articles, Los Angles Daily Gerald, was talking about how Major Kress found hostile indians moving large number of horse across the river, and some of the horse returned to the Oregon side of the river. Then Major Kress destroyed the indians camp. When writing about what Major Kress did the wording made him sound like a knight in shining armor. By saying "hostile" indians made the indians sound dangerous, but throughout that story it never said what the indians did. Did they attack? At the end of the article they writers made sure to say "Scouts are out" to give the read a sense of security that they are safe.

Dear Diary,
It's July 9, 1878. I was reading the Los Angles Daily Gerald. Oh my goodness, article after article talking about the hostile Indians. One was that the Indians attacked Captain Sperry and his company while they were eating lunch! How awful is that, you know just sitting there eating your lunch and BAM! You are under attack!!!! They fought them twice in one day. Once when the Indians surprised attacked them and again while they were heading to Pendleton. How awful!! Theses Indians are out of control, but good thing is in another article they said they had some scouts out watching the indians. So that's good we are safe from the hostile indians. Beside from the Indians I saw a advertisement for a new shoe and boot place!! Yay! It's on main street, I am actually going to head down there now and scout out there shoes, and to see if they have anything cute!

Deep Thinking

"Our use of social media for news is selective and intentional so that we may tend to remain interested only in things we are already interested in. On the other hand professional news outlets, like newspapers, expose readers to information on a broad range of topics, this helps me to see what other people are interested or things are important."
