6) 9/11 theories. I chose this because I have always felt strongly about 9/11. It was such a tragedy. Last November my aunt and I went to New York, of course we had to go to Ground Zero it was the one thing I wanted to do while we were there. All of it was so heart dropping. They had a room where you could hear the voicemails loved ones had received on that day. There were so many videos and pictures of everything that happened. I even remember seeing a firetruck that they had recovered form when it had happened. Just all very sad, but I always want to learn more about it. ]]> 2020-11-10 04:43:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kmgroff2/5wdsy9kj9qtrfwkz/wish/907051074 kmgroff2 https://padlet.com/kmgroff2/5wdsy9kj9qtrfwkz/wish/950857178

“And some Americans, including many who might otherwise support vaccination, express worry the Trump administration will greenlight a vaccine ahead of the November election for political purposes, before the shot is proven to work safely. (Hopkins)” 

This quotes claims many individuals don't want to get the vaccine because they claim it has to to with politics. I agree, personally I believe there is such thing as covid yes but I am also one who things the whole situation seems kind of suspicious and I believe politics may in some ways affect it. Personal opinion. 

“According to a Gallup poll published Aug. 7, one in three Americans wouldn’t take a Covid-19 vaccine if it were available free of charge. In a Harris Poll released last week, about 30% of Americans said they were unlikely to take a vaccine, while half said they wouldn’t take a vaccine developed outside the U.S. (Hopkins)”

A lot are saying they don't trust anything from other countries, which I agree, definitely in times like these it may seem very untrustworthy especially if they aren't getting testes with properly.

“The researchers told church members that the vaccine wouldn’t contain the virus itself, but rather a protein designed to generate a protective immune response but that wouldn’t harm them. (Hopkins)”

I am one who doesn't take vaccines. Nothing towards doctors or other people i just grew up in a household where we never got shots like the flu unless it was really needed, so personally i will not be taking any vaccines. Im all for other people doing them because i do think they can help, like my aunt she gets flu shots every year because she is vey sickly and she rarley gets sick.

• i chose this website because within the past week social media has truly changed my life. i don’t really want to get that much into it, and i don’t really want myself getting judged upon the matter, but my cousin recently did something that completely changed everything in my life. not just my whole outlook, but they way others are viewing my family on our last name. i’m reading comments made on facebook, and people are seriously cruel. not defending my cousin in any way, shape or form, but things others are saying in retaliation are heartbreaking for my family and myself to read. i believe social media has both good and bad aspects, so i’d like to cover both in my opinion based on the article.

The article I chose was on "New York Times" and was called "What's Right, and Wrong, with Social Media" written by Chris Kindred. The first few sentences tells us social media has "allowed us to deepen our social connections and allowed an opening for many new careers." It also states that integrating these services into our daily lives are by choice. Not everything you put out there is private, which is where it gets into its next issue. Say Facebook for example. They make money off of the things we post on there, and the information we share about ourselves. So, what we choose to share about us as a whole is really on us, even if we only share things to those of us on our friends list. Some are arguing that we should have more privacy rights, which I am definitely in favor of considering everything I have going on.  Social media is for sure a major way we all get connected to the things happening in the world, or with family and friends, I've seen it first hand recently, but I do believe it has been a major con in allowing people to become so opinionated and opened way more opportunities for everyone to be against one another.
