The World Changes

Well, after reading these links, I was slightly confused about what exactly was the overall theme of these.

One showed the world and what was happening, another symbolized on conspiracy, and the last one talked about how the media was changing.

… I guess they’re talking about the changes of the world. How life was different at one point of time, and then changed later on.

The media’s changing because of the technology, and how news is becoming more and more free (in terms of the distribution); used to mainly be by newspaper, and that was getting profit from it, but now is becoming more and more read through the internet without pay.

Conspiracy, obviously, about the questioning of our government, and the answers we desire from them. The truth and nothing else. It can go leading into the topic that started getting my attention perhaps when I was getting into college: textbooks. Think of it: the one thing I would read for information (forced, or for my enjoyment), and it could be false. It’s so unbelievable.

The world is changing all around us. Looking at the images in the MSNBC website, it tells me again of what’s happening to the world. Even today, some disaster, horror, catastrophe, is happening to people in some part of the globe. 

I’m thankful we live in a ‘free’ country; it may not be as free as we would want it… but we gotta be fortunate we live here, in comparison to another country where it’s limited. We can always strive for a better tomorrow though; we’re not in a perfect world, you know.

  1. Good post, Joe. The readings aren't necessarily meant to connect explicitly this week, but you actually did a nice job bringing them together.
