Dear, Sam
I’m interested in the topic of media literacy in your post, “Learning About Fake News and How to Spot It” because it shows how we are surrounded by fake news, so it is important to know how to identify it. One sentence that stands out to me is, “This meaning that media literacy is going to be a very important tool in our current generations and is going to be something that must be taught to everyone.” It stands out to me because I know how our generation uses the internet and sees media news every day. That is mostly how we learn about what’s going on in the world. With misleading information, many people could go the wrong way understanding news. I look forward to seeing what you write next because I find your points valid. -
Dear Sam,
I think this is a fascinating subject that is really relevant these days. With so much knowledge being available online, how does one find accurate and reliable news and information. The quote “Media literacy is the literacy of the 21st century,” rings true. I have had some experience with this myself in AP Seminar and Research, where it is vital to be able to tell whether or not a source can be trusted. Do you have any ideas about how we would teach media literacy? I feel like there are a myriad of ways to approach this topic depending on the age and audience. Is it better to start young and make kids aware that there are sources we shouldn’t trust or should that wait until middle or high school?
I quite enjoyed the topic and I think you brought up some valid points about the importance of making people aware of what fake news is.

Sam commented on the post, Why are many young people unemployed at this time?

I actually lost my job back in March when Covid first hit and my job title was officially terminated because it was no longer necessary during the pandemic. Currently, in Utah, the unemployment rate is 3.6%. It increased when Covid hit and has stayed at this rate…Read More

Sam commented on the post, The talk on private schools uniforms
Nice Job Diego!
I really liked how you showed both sides of the argument and you weren’t really biased towards one side or the other. I have never really thought about school uniforms this deeply. As a kid coming from a school with school uniforms, I don’t like them. I want to be able to wear whatever I want and express who I am through…Read More
