Trump Breaks First Amendment

-
     If you are not aware, the First Amendment to the United States Constitution is part of the United States Bill of Rights which protects freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, freedom of the press and right to petition. The First Amendment is very important and protects us from many different situations. Freedom of religion allows people to believe in whatever religion they want. Freedom of speech as well as press allows people to voice their opinions and publish them publicly without the government having a say. Freedom of assembly allows us to gather together in groups if everyone is peaceful. Right to petition allows for people to point out the governments mistakes and sue if any wrongs have occurred.
     I found an article which speaks on how Trump breaks the First Amendment. In this case, Trump has been blocking users on twitter on his account. Many say this is a violation of the First Amendment, but of course he disagrees. The purpose of this case was that blocking users for being critical amounts to discrimination based on their viewpoints. I hate to say this but I can see it from both sides. For I block many people on any social media platform because of what they post and things of that nature. But I can admit that Trump does post things a President should not post. Therefore, he can not get upset at others for negative comments or their viewpoints. With that people said, being such a known person and of course the President of the United States, you should not block or argue with anyone on social media platforms. That is not good for your image or in general.

Eight Values of Free Expression

     After reading the importance of the Eight Values of Free Expression the one that I thought was the most important was Individual Self-Fulfillment (aka Self-Actualization). This one specific value focuses on free speech and enables individuals to express themselves and thereby create their own identity. I find this one to be important because in all situations you are choosing to live freely and true to yourself. This is the desire to to fulfill life goals and to become what he or she is capable of. You are motivated and only want growth for yourself in every endeavor. The part that I like the most about this value is that each goal you want to achieve is solely because you want that in life and not for anyone else. Having that personal fulfillment in life really makes you happy with yourself and realize how important life is.      I think that this video really explains this value perfectly. She says the biggest secret is that it's really not a thing, as a human we shoul

EOTO, Pt 1 (Confirmation Bias)

-

     Confirmation Bias occurs from the direct influence of desire on beliefs. So basically, if you want something to be true for so long, then you will end of believing it to be true. The idea of it happening eventually and sticking to it is what confirms their views to be true. The real definition of confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor and recall information in a way that confirms or strengthens ones personal beliefs. Some implications of this theory includes wishful thinking. Which just means the idea or wish you will, will eventually come true.      Confirmation bias has been  proven to contribute to overconfidence in personal beliefs. This might affect society as a whole because have so much confidence in your own personal beliefs doesn't leave much room to listen to others beliefs and understand where they are coming from. This means that you may form tough relationships with people because you are not open to listen and understand. As a whole co

EOTO pt. 2 (COVID-19)

     Due to the Coronavirus everyone is trying to figure out what to do to keep themselves sane. This stay at home order is hard to adjust to when you are so used to being on the go. I see people on social media trying out new hobbies, working out more and spending time with family. Speaking of social media, the amount of screen time I have by the end of the week has been outrageous. I know for a fact it is the same for others my age as well. I mean what more is there for us to do? Statistics show that because of the pandemic induced quarantine, media intake has increased massively. But they also realized that many people use the media to get updates on the COVID-19 outbreak, so not all use is for personal social media use. Time that we would usually be spending to hang out with friends, go to the mall or just being outside in general is now being used sit sit on the sofa and do nothing. Since we have so much time to kill, it only leaves us with one entertaining thing to do which is be
