Conventions Count (Even Today).

Just to get you guys a little informed about my article so you guys don;t have to read the whole thing if you don't want to. It is about the bounce on polls that Mr. Obama received after the DNC. Everyone now thinks that Conventions are not important any more but that doesn't seem to be the truth after the bounce on polls Mr. Obama got.  

Bias is everywhere and everyone uses it in some point in their lives. From most of the articles that I read there was bias. It is a way that people share their opinions. Sometimes bias can be hurtful but there is nothing that can be done to stop it but sometimes it can also be funny. People will not change their decisions for whatever reasons. So whether you are reading a paper or watching a video you will always find at least a few examples of bias.

Here are a few examples: In the first article that I read (posted by Ms. B). The author uses the word "I" in a few of the paragraphs and that tells us that he is explaining or telling us his opinions. When the author is describing how Bill Clinton's speech helped raise the polls Mr. Obama. So if you read this whole article then you will understand that bias is really important in the world of media. Without bias there would be nothing to debate on.

Information if everywhere. I believe that information is always floating around us but we are the ones who are to lazy to catch it. WHY? Well, because many people think that if it doesn't effect them then they don't have to worry about it, but they don't understand that whatever happen in this world ONLY effects them. I can understand if we were living in the 1800's that we didn't have technology or media that was high developed but now we are living in an era that nothing is possible without technology. There are so many sources that can provide the information that we need to know about our country. Now people can type something on their phone and they will get pages and pages of results. Don't have access to a computer or a phone?  No, problem there are many other resources out their that can give the information we need such as the newspaper, library, or they even could ask a friend or family member.

Anything that has to do with us or our country should always matter to us. It should matter because whatever happen will affect us personally too. It's our fault for not following the news and staying updated because everything will effect our lives form choosing the leader that will help us run the country or even filling out a lunch form for your child's school. If we are aware of what is going on in our country then we will be able help as the best as we can to improve it. We have to be the change to see change.
