What Media Sources Are Reliable? How Do You Know?

The media is a huge part of not only the United States, but all over the world. The media is how we get our information, our news, and what's important to us as fast as possible. There are many different sources of media, some I feel are reliable, other's not so much. For example, Fox News is blatently all conservative biased, and is truly unfair to people who try and watch it because it's all one-sided. Most news stations are, and it's hard to come across those that aren't. Honestly, my sources of news usually come from the internet, because I feel the biased is less apparent on it. I don't watch that much news to begin with, solely because as mentioned before, it's hard to find an actualy newscast that isn't taking a side.

How Might Your Understanding of American Culture Change If You Lived in Another Country?

America! Home of the free, land of the brave. What a great country, right? Well, living here for 20 years of my life, I can I obviously like it, with the freedom and rights I actually do have, but if i may take a moment to discuss American culture, I can sum it up in two words: it sucks. Let' s just look at the facts. Our economy isn't doing horrible, but still isn't all that great. We as a country are the fattest in the world, we are lazy, sloth-like, you name it. All we do is watch television, play video games, and don't appreciate the things we should. Granted, this is all my opinion, but if I was in another country trying to understand the culture, I wouldn't get it. America is just so different from everyone else. Fast food is a huge stat alone as well. All in all, I think America can improve on its culture, but will that happen? Doubtful.

What Country Will Soon Be the World's Biggest Economy?

I'm not much of an economics or numbers person, but I do have enough knowledge to think that
China 's economy will soon dominate the world. I believe at this time they are the number two economy, but steadily heading towards number one. Just take a moment to think about China, and what they do. They are a very different country from the United States. Why it was just today in my education class that we were talking about how China's education system is more than far ahead of the United States. They are keeping their kids in school, early and longer, and their citizens are educated much more efficiently in almost every subject. They thrive on their corporations, and the importing/exporting they do. All in all, China seems to have it together, and I don't see them slowing down anytime soon.

What Can Be Done to Solve World Poverty?

Althought I don't always think about it, world poverty is one issue that makes me feel horrible about life. The fact that there are thousands upon thousands of people starving everyday, with no food, is upsetting. Is there a way to stop poverty yourself? No, but there's always a way you can make a difference. One way you can do so is by donating money. There are many organizations who would gladly take your generousity, and turn it into food for people who have none. Participating in food drives, and other such events help a significant amount as well. As for world poverty, it's pretty much the same situation, you can donate money, or get involved with organazations around the world. The only way this problem could get solved is if we all work together to make poverty a thing of the past.
