Italian neorealism isn't very interesting to me, but I did enjoy the movie he showed "Children of Heaven." There are other movies that are like that, I find more interesting though and also I think his speech seemed more boring than the other guest speakers we've heard was because he had a very strong accent and most of his speech I was unable to understand to get the full effect that he was trying to get across.

Magazine Exercise
1) Mother Jones" April, 2008
Article: "Voluntary Confinement" By: Michael Mechanic
This article talks about a reality TV show called Solitary where nine men and women are placed in separate rooms which are very small and cramped for up to 12 days without any human interaction and see which one can last the longest, and the winner walks out with 50,000 dollars. In the process they get barely any sleep and close to no food the entire time. They are talked to by this enabler or computer host named 'Val' who messes with their minds. People talk about whether this show is actual torture and psychologically damaging to the people who play in it, or if it has harmless effects.

Article: "Bad Dog" By:Larry Doyle
In this article Mr. Doyle talks about his dog and explains about his dog and whether it will be the dog's complaining, eating, or weird habits, but in the article he treats his dog like a real person as if he was talking to himself (imagining what the dog would be saying to him). In the story there is reflection and shift in perspective and character ( the dog's character towards Mr. Doyle over time). i don't know whether this article is suppose to be funny and sarcastic or it should be taken more serious, or perhaps both.

Why Bordem for Celebrity Journalism and reality TV shows???
People aren't necessarily bored because they like to watch reality shows or keep up with whats going on with top celebrities it's just another form of what is going on in the world or a way to relax. I think that everyone thinks about what it would be like to live in that kind of world to be famous or have the attention all on them in a reality show like Real World.
Guest Speaker Steve Jackson
Hmm, very interesting thoughts on truth...I don't think that is something relevant to be teaching about unless in a religious class or something but that was not what he was a professor for. I didn't know about all the different kinds of truth like subjective or objective so I enjoyed his speech because I learned something new and he had a good character even though students didn't participate because most of us didn't read the class blog to know that we were going to have one.
NYT Article- Muslims in America
I think that is really sad that's just like what happened awhile ago in history when the whites didn't want the blacks to start going to there school. It's not right to judge anyone just because of there ethnicity you should try to be at least somewhat open minded towards a person until proven wrong then you can hate all you want, but until then give them a chance because you might find that your beliefs were wrong and come to like the person.
Fahrenheit 451 Movie Thoughts
Fahrenheit 451 was a very strange movie, but I somewhat enjoyed it it was very interest in what the people thought about books, but I didnt like the fact that the firefighters went around burning books of all kinds in peoples houses because they say they are dangerous to people and cause them to be outcasts in society and they fill people's minds with non-sense and "rubbish" and don't do any good for people; they also said that they are boring which even though I'm not a big fan of reading because I'm slow at it, but some people in the world love books.

Music Appreciation
Name of song: Missing You
Artist: First Lady
What is about: It's about a girl saying good bye to the one that she has lost and how she is going to move on in life without him. Her beloved!
I just really like this song, for some reason it just really gets to me although I have never lost someone this close to me or for that fact at all. It's just a really good song to listen too and shows how people are this strong willed to go through this and able to make it through life even though this has happened. It shows just how great human beings are and how one can go through so many tragedies in life and still be the nicest person to meet or accomplish so much without letting these things get to you.

NYT Editorial
Since the creation of laws, people with a higher power seem to get special treatment when it comes to following the law. Most get to alter the true meaning of what it says and depending how high on the list you are for having the most power means that you get more lenience on disobeying them or how far you can really mess up the law to cover up one's actions. Torture sessions are not really the big issue here it's how the people that we are supposed to trust in making the right decisions for the people it leads. And the government and the president seem to approve and support of this issue. I'm sure that torture happens in many countries of the world this doesn't make it right, but there's not much that we as citizens have much say in it...all that we can do is riot and say our own personal opinions but these so called leaders of us are really the ones that can make the decision to stop torture here and find some other means of punishing those who have done wrong. There are just way too many double standards in this world today and there needs not to be.
Wangari Maathai's Visit to CWU
She is a brilliant women who is most famous for being the first African American woman to win the Noble Peace Prize in 2004 for helping the world environmentally. She started the Green Belt Movement against deforestation. A womens organization for planting trees to preserve the environment and improve the quality of life. She's a great figure in America for working hard for the world's environmental issues, human rights and democracy on an international scale.
Thoughtful question to ask that would be different from the norm, one that would take time to think about to give a thoughtful response back.
*What was it like to be the first African American to win the noble peace price?

Magazine Ad- What it is to be COOL!!!
For my magazine ad, I found one where three good looking men in nice suits were trying to sell the product of a Schick razor saying that your not cool unless you have one of these.
All the Presidents Men
This movie made me realize that I don't really know much about history as well as I should... I heard of Watergate, but I guess I never payed as much attention in high school as I should of. Also, the power of journalism and what it takes to be a good one and go off of ideas that one could lose their job if wrong or put the whole company in trouble as well and make them not as credible any more. The two men in here did just that and they were right, but the put a lot of effort in the story to make sure that they were right. I liked this movie a lot, at first I thought it was going to be boring because history doesn't really interest me that much, but this movie did!!!

Pope Benedict XVI's Visit to America
During the Pope's first visit in America since he became the pope for the Catholic churches he spoke at several times at many events that took place during his visit. Some main points that he discussed at these events were the need for Catholic priests to stop the molestation being practiced and for everyone to help in healing these victims. Also, he conducted a mass in which thousands of people were able to hear him say this. The pope was able to meet some of these victims that went through this sexual abuse and he assured them that he would do his best to prevent this.Another point that was talked about was about making a moral challenge to the U.S. culture on issues such as economic justice and abortion. In addition, he made an appeal to the church to set aside all anger and become united, despite each others conservative and liberal views.
Briefing Sheet #4 ( Magazines)
MOTHER JONES MAGAZINE
1.Pennsylvania: Clinton Is Alive and Kicking—And Threatening To Tear the Party Apart?
Even though Clinton won Pennsylvania doesn't mean that the race is over, Obama still has a chance. Clinton is planning on going the whole race and with this win she has more money to put towards advertising her campaign.
2.McCain on the Housing Crisis: Quick, Do Nothing!
McCain didn't have any reaction to the Housing Debit crisis; he didn't really even say anything about it. It seemed as though McCain only gave advice about it, not what he plans to do or anyways to help the US redeem itself.
3.The Clintons Campaign New Math
Clinton is trying to get the electoral college to look at who wins with the delegates. Even though Obama has won most of the states, Clinton has won many of the Big states which count just as much if not more.
4.Black and More than Black
Obama gave a speech on racism and hatred in the US that is still going on today. But when he was talking about jobs for all, and proper education to all children he wasn't trying to play the race card at all.
5.Hilary Clintons Little Noticed Isreal Problem
Clinton had said that Isreal is should be somewhat under jewish influence. While Obama is more of anti-jewish. Most presidents before had said that Jeruslam should be left to Negotiations between the two main religious/ethnic groups.
6. Newsweek: Obama or Clinton: Which Candidate can Best Take on McCain?--Because Obama and McCain are so different, Obama has a higher chance of beating McCain than Clinton does. Obama will bring about economic and foreign policy change and has alwyas been opposed tot he war in Iraq.
7. Time: A Primary with No End--Clinton's win in Pennsyvania makes the race go on. Reublicans are excited that the Democrats have not picked a nominee yet because as long as the two candidates keep arguing, it increases the Republicans chance of winning the Presidency, again. She is still claiming that she has a higher chance at beating McCain than Obama, but many experts do not believe that. Her campaign is in need of money, but it will continue until at least June.
8. The Washington Monthly: Political Animal: The McCain Bubble--Polls that match Obama and Clinton vs. McCain have McCain at a 45% chance of winning. Although he is a likable candidate, he is not as strong as many think it is and when it comes time for the Election in November, he will probably lose to the Democratic candidate.
9. US News and World Report: Many Women Don't feel Obligated to vote for Clinton--A recent poll says that only 22% of women feel like they have to vote for Clinton just because she is female. Overall, Obama has won more of the female vote than Clinton. In the states that Obama won the women vote, he also took the state. Women over 50 tend to vote for Cliton, but younger women, of which there are more, vote Obama.
10. The New Republic: The Next McGovern--Obama's weakness as a general candidate grows stronger with each primary. Although he is winning the popular and delegate vote, and Hillary has no chance of taking that away from him, he may not be able to beat McCain, so the superdelegates may give the nomination to Clinton.

Reflective Question
1) Prime rate: A term used in many countries as a reference to interest rate which is used by banks. It originally indicated the rate of interest at which banks lent to their most favored customers, but today that is not the case. This is important for when the interest rates get high they tent to effect the economy in a negative way.
2)Tibet: Currently under the ruling of China and trying to change that because they don't want to be under this kind of ruling they want to be free. Significant in having choices and not being told or controlled on how or what to do.
3) Columbia Trade Agreement: This is a free trade agreement between the United States and Columbia. The importance of this is that it will create more jobs for the American farmers of today.
4)Iraqi military, militia, U.S. military-- who's who in the green zone?: The Americans are in the green zone and the bases are posted in Iraq. Which keep getting attacked multiple times. Connects to me in that I want the war to end...so the more things that have to do with Iraq and the U.S. are a big deal and have a lot to do with the elections for this year by which candidate is doing what to end the war.
5) Benedict XVI: Of course the Pope who represents the Catholic community and many people look up to him. This connects to me because I am a Catholic follower so many of the rules that I follow tie in with him.

Reflective Question- Diversity Wheel
Here is the diversity wheel for me (Jinah Smith):
Religion: Catholic
Geography:Born in South Korea then flown overseas to the small town of Woodland in the North West.
Nationality:Korean
Profession and Status:Full time student
Class:Middle
Education:Sophomore here at Central
Physical Abilities and Intellect:Somewhat athletic
Race:Asian
Gender:Female
Age:20
Cultural Heritage: (?) beats me I'm adopted and my background information is very limited.
Sexual Orientation: Straight
The aspects that affect my viewpoint the most would have to be my cultural heritage as well as my geography. Since I was so young and don't know a lot about my cultural heritage it makes me have a certain curiosity on how things would be if I hadn't been adopted and what would have changed if I had stayed with my real parents. Sometimes I think about meeting them, but for most of the time I wish not to know because I live a great life now and from what little I know if I had stayed my life would have been very short. I don't look down upon my mother for giving me up because I know she gave me up for the good reason of not being killed. Then my geography makes a big difference as to who I am. I come from a very small hick town in which the town itself is a two block radius and coming to Central opened my views on a lot of things even though it is a pretty small town too, but it has way more diversity than my town will ever have. I was the minority there, but coming to school has opened my eyes to be more optimistic about more things in life that I would have never known about or thought of, but now I do and it's great!!!

Sources for Newspaper Article Assignment
The newspaper article that I read about was called... "Panel Doubts Effectiveness of Two Cholesterol Drugs." This was found in the New York Times.It was about the debate on the two drugs Vytorin and Zetia
and whether or not they slow or speed up the growth of fatty plaques in arteries which are associated with heart attacks and strokes. In this article seven sources were used as references which included journals, doctors opinions, research institutes, professors of colleges and the FDA.

Pink Ladies team blog( top 2 summaries of mine)
I would have to pick numbers 3 and 5 from mine as being the best!!!
B. Sheet #1- 2008 Election
First off I don't know if this is the right way to do the briefing sheet but what I did was write the title of the article in which I read then I summarized it.Also, I wasn't sure if I was supposed to choose a specific candidate so I just added all 3.
1.Clinton and Obama pound on McCain over Economy
* Clinton and Obama tell us about the big issues today on heath care, high costs of college, energy prices, and other budget issues. While poking fun at McCain in between topics about how his economic plan should just not exisit and how his campaign is like launching a 3rd Bush term.
2. Editorial: Let Voters Decide
* Here it says that Clinton should just give up now because the mathematics don't favor her. The race is so close right now that soon the popular vote and the delegate count will show who will come out on top after the few remaining states have had their say.
3. Obama Links Cost of War to Economic Hardships
* This page talks of how the U.S. cannot afford this illegal war in Iraq, which of now is costing 3 trillion that could've gone towards other things. Super capitalism and the rich mans greed are too destuctive toward reall Americans today and the world to notice that the war needs to end, there are bigger issues.
4. Which candidate has the most green cred?
* The answer is both democrats, economy plans are the first on their agendas by having a cap and trade system to reduce the nation's carbon emissions. They say that by 2050 the use of carbon emissions will be 80% below the 1990 levels, by having 25% of that come from wind, solar and other sources in 2025.
5. Can they Heal our Health care System
* Thousands are on the democrat side. Obama says he'll make insurance so affordable people won't be able to resist, Clinton proposes she'll mandate that everyone get coverage and then McCain only remark is that he'll let the companies compete to keep costs down.
6. Stand on Iraq: Decisions to go to War
* Hillary talks that she would of never given authority to Bush if she had known then what she knows now, she hopes all the troops are out within a year and their should be more troops in Afghanistan not moving them out of Iraq.
7. Troop Withdrawl
* Barak says he would have troops out in 16 months and the war in Afghanistan won't further if the commitment in Iraq isn't reduced. Pulling the troops out of Iraq will increase the U.S. troop presence in Afghanistan and the extra soldiers will be used as leverage for additional troop commitment for NATO.
8. Republicans Stand
* McCain fully supports Bush' s invasion on Iraq, but the procedures taken about the war were a mistake, but not the war itself.
9. Effect on the War in Afghanistan
* McCain has yet to offer few specifics on whether or not more troops are needed in Afghanistan, but has recommended an increased emphasis on developed aid.
10. Mixed Bag for Clinton, Obama, and McCain
* Tracking polls show that Clinton has a one point lead nationwide over Obama, Obama is at 80% for winning the nomination and 46% of winning presidency. Then McCain is at an 8 point lead over either Democrat in nationwide polls.
1.Clinton and Obama pound on McCain over Economy
* Clinton and Obama tell us about the big issues today on heath care, high costs of college, energy prices, and other budget issues. While poking fun at McCain in between topics about how his economic plan should just not exisit and how his campaign is like launching a 3rd Bush term.

They say that by 2050 the use of carbon emissions will be 80% below the 1990 levels, by having 25% of that come from wind, solar and other sources in 2025.
5. Can they Heal our Health care System
* Thousands are on the democrat side. Obama says he'll make insurance so affordable people won't be able to resist, Clinton proposes she'll mandate that everyone get coverage and then McCain only remark is that he'll let the companies compete to keep costs down.
6. Stand on Iraq: Decisions to go to War
* Hillary talks that she would of never given authority to Bush if she had known then what she knows now, she hopes all the troops are out within a year and their should be more troops in Afghanistan not moving them out of Iraq.
7. Troop Withdrawl
* Barak says he would have troops out in 16 months and the war in Afghanistan won't further if the commitment in Iraq isn't reduced. Pulling the troops out of Iraq will increase the U.S. troop presence in Afghanistan and the extra soldiers will be used as leverage for additional troop commitment for NATO.
8. Republicans Stand
* McCain fully supports Bush' s invasion on Iraq, but the procedures taken about the war were a mistake, but not the war itself.
9. Effect on the War in Afghanistan
* McCain has yet to offer few specifics on whether or not more troops are needed in Afghanistan, but has recommended an increased emphasis on developed aid.
10. Mixed Bag for Clinton, Obama, and McCain
* Tracking polls show that Clinton has a one point lead nationwide over Obama, Obama is at 80% for winning the nomination and 46% of winning presidency. Then McCain is at an 8 point lead over either Democrat in nationwide polls.
