I definitely think the media can change a person's opinion about a country. Media plays a big role in our life and it's always around us, whether invited in or not. When multiple sources say the same things, it's hard not to at least mildly believe it. It is your choice though to do your own investigating to determine your true beliefs and not just go with what the media says because everyone has a bias.

Responding to Jackie: 
No. I do not believe you have true privacy. Everything in this modern technologically ran world, is recorded. Even if you go to the greatest precautions nothing is truly private. Humans are social creatures, we need human contact to remain sane. So even if you cut out all technology and move to some rural far out place, you can't remain stable without talking to someone.

Responding to Cameron:
No. I do not believe it is human nature to rebel. I like what Ryan said about the "Nature or Nurture" topic, and going off that I believe this is a matter of nurture. Some people will go along with the crowd just because they know no better and don't have a mind of their own, likely because in their upbringing they did not get to form their own opinions, whereas the people who were blessed with the opportunity to speak their minds and fully express themselves and their own opinions, are the ones who will rebel because they can see the "wrong" and will refuse to conform.

Responding to Chloe:
I believe the ultimate form of betrayal is when it puts you directly in harms way and the betrayal is premeditated. When the person plans it they have multiple opportunities to say, "hey I don't think this is right", and can then stop it at that moment. If the betrayal they commit is knowingly going to hurt you, whether it be physical or emotional, it truly just shows the horrific unsympathetic side of them. When someone you care about deeply plans on hurting you, it can be emotionally damaging forever, in the sense that you will likely  have trust issues and push  people away for the longest times.

  A single individual would result in the shaping of the society to what they think is salvation or to be “worshiped” based on the ego factor.
  Even if the person has a good heart, usually power corrupts the mind or they will only see certain situations in a single perspective. As humans, we need more minds from every perspective to make a logical judgement that is most likely beneficial for everyone and the country. ]]> 2019-12-19 20:43:42 UTC https://padlet.com/cassie_polasek/s5quwqdej45b/wish/426079015 https://padlet.com/cassie_polasek/s5quwqdej45b/wish/426079347 Responding to Diego's question, love can affect a person in various ways depending on the love, not always necessarily the person. A person can be a kind and loving person, but the other person in the relationship could be toxic which creates an unrequited love. This affects one of them poorly, and has very little/no effect to the other person. Depending on the characteristics of the love shared, it could be wonderful, or it could be heartbreaking.]]> 2019-12-19 20:44:57 UTC https://padlet.com/cassie_polasek/s5quwqdej45b/wish/426079347 https://padlet.com/cassie_polasek/s5quwqdej45b/wish/426079484 -Responding to Jeremiah’s question about does society need a government. I don’t think that the government is needed, but I think for the society to run as people would like or want to be then there would be a need for the government 
-Responding to Diego’s question about if the government should always tell the people things. I don’t think that our government tells the people everything they need to know because when society knows the government is hiding things it makes it more difficult for the government to possibly hold things over societies head and keep them ignorant.
-Responding to Joey’s question about which is a more powerful way to control people. I think that mental control is way more powerful than physical just purely based on how hard it is to live your life if you are being brain washed all the time. Not to mention how hard it would be to think your own way or be able to be free. 
-I disagree with Maya because although it may be better to be mentally reconditioned you are being drained of your own thoughts and what truly makes you the person you are. So personally it would be easier to be killed than to be drained of all things that make you a person.  ]]> 2019-12-19 20:45:27 UTC https://padlet.com/cassie_polasek/s5quwqdej45b/wish/426079484 https://padlet.com/cassie_polasek/s5quwqdej45b/wish/426079537 Responding to Maya's question, I'd prefer to be mentally reconditioned,  living in blissful ignorance opposed to ending my existence seems like a much better option. ]]> 2019-12-19 20:45:36 UTC https://padlet.com/cassie_polasek/s5quwqdej45b/wish/426079537 https://padlet.com/cassie_polasek/s5quwqdej45b/wish/426079785 I agree that love can affect our morals and our beliefs.

Yes because without a government everything would just be chatoic it’s human nature to follow a leader and have rules , without rules people just harm themselves and others. 

Is it a good idea for one person to have sole control? No because one person cannot govern over millions of people , plus it is important for people to have their voiceheard to know what they want/need. 

Is mental reconditioning better than death , why? No I believe mental reconditioning is worse like chris said , once you’re dead you’re dead because omce your mind is changed you’re no longer who you used to be , part of you is lost. 

Can love affect how we see things? I agree with megan , your morals and beliefs do change once you’re with a certain person , you do change the type of person you are to try and please your significant other

 If a person was not able to love it would take one of the key factors of being human. Which are two things of humanity, the mind and love.

2. Answering Chloes' question about why our emotions can be completely out of the place is that we as humans are so complex compared to every creature in our world is that we feel.

In response to Adanari's question i don't believe we are living in a dystopian novel because our world isn't really chaotic and i feel like there is a balance between light and dark in our world.

I feel like if you found something to fill the void like a significant other it would make it easier to not lose yourself in a all powerful government because it makes it all that more difficult to be who you are if you are constantly being monitored and controlled.

I believe governments become too powerful when they have total control of everyone single one of its citizens because they no longer have anything holding them back from doing whatever they want.

My room 101 would be a gigantic room and me being lost.

I agree with what Javi said about how you can use the government spying on us as a counter-argument. 

2. It is fine to have goals in a relationship and I think there are some that even before dating need to be known and put n the table. Because if you have one overarching goal that you want to achieve and the person that you are with doesn't know that, the decisions you will make as a couple might not meet up to that goal.  

3. I agree with Elizabeth on how the government is so large and diverse that you can never be sure of what is known and not known. For one, Aliens have been a topic brought up when discussing hidden government theories and some will say yes, and some will say no we have not discovered aliens. I think that there are too many branches and too many things going on in the United States as a whole that you will never actually know.

4. I think that it is just human nature to be compassionate one moment and barbaric another. It goes back to basic biological structure and how humans react and not react to the situation,

We have many opportunities in America and there are many other countries that don't have enough resources to keep their citizens alive.]]> 2019-12-19 21:26:09 UTC https://padlet.com/cassie_polasek/s5quwqdej45b/wish/426092016 https://padlet.com/cassie_polasek/s5quwqdej45b/wish/426092471 Continuing with Chloe's idea, a perfect example of us not living in a dystopian society is Trump being impeached.

Of course I'm going to have a lot of love and compassion when it comes to my family, but when it comes to people who I don't really care for or have done something to hurt me, I'm going to have more resentment towards them.]]> 2019-12-19 21:31:49 UTC https://padlet.com/cassie_polasek/s5quwqdej45b/wish/426093313 https://padlet.com/cassie_polasek/s5quwqdej45b/wish/426093314 I think on the outside people like to portray themselves as "selfless and giving" but on the inside they really are "selfish and brutal".

You'd be so much in your head, that would be the only place you could be yourself, & even though you might find someone that agreed with what you said and how you felt it might make things easier but you still won't be able to be yourself because their are so many traits that make an individual .

When the government is able to impose fear on people, then the government has definitely crossed the line and we should take a step back and reevaluate where we are as a country.]]> 2019-12-19 21:42:06 UTC https://padlet.com/cassie_polasek/s5quwqdej45b/wish/426095637 sar_dol481 https://padlet.com/cassie_polasek/s5quwqdej45b/wish/426096057 1. I think that the government monitoring us is kind of mandatory, as that is the only way that the government can ensure that we aren't doing anything illegal. Yes it's easy to push boundaries and it gives the government easy access to our personal lives but I think that they should have some sort of access to ensure safety. 


2. I don't think we're living in a dystopian society, or at least as of now. In dystopian novels they don't think that their world is messed up, they believe that they instead are living in something reminiscent of a utopia. I think that if we were living in a dystopian world, the majority of us wouldn't even know it.


3. I think to stay yourself in an all powerful government, you'd have to keep your thoughts to yourself. If you find outcasts, it's possible that you'd have the same mindsets and it would make building up a rebellion easier. 


4. The government becomes to powerful when they start to restrict human rights. Treating citizens as slaves and taking away things like the rights to basic knowledge is when a government truly becomes corrupt. ]]> 2019-12-19 21:44:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cassie_polasek/s5quwqdej45b/wish/426096057 https://padlet.com/cassie_polasek/s5quwqdej45b/wish/426096407 Javi for president 2020
