Part 4 - Media Influence and Society

In politics media is often used to control or change peoples thoughts. Even today. Just look at all the cheap shots Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have thrown at each other through the media.They were all attempts to get the viewer to question their innitial thoughts and then change them. Also,Obama's good looks on television seem to have gotten him more votes from the younger voters,or so it seems. Similiar to the John F. Kennedy campaign. Also, as I said in an earlier post, being an actor can help boost your popularity and give you more exposure in the media which helped Arnold Schwarzenegger become a governor.

Final Reflection

In my research to find out what I need to do to become a better bowler ,I found out alot . As anyone who enjoys bowling knows , you need the basics , shoes ,and a ball . Shoes are pretty much easy , just make sure its for left or right handed bowlers if necessary ,most are standard. After having your shoes, you need to learn your approach , a standard four steps is used by most people . Besides the approah you need to concentrate on keeping your wrist locked, A nice back swing following thru crossing your mark on the alley. To a novice , this could be confusing , but not to a seasoned bowler .

The actual research leads me to ball types , and lane conditions . Their are four types of balls , each with its own special traits . balls come in various pounds ranging from eight to sixteen . Plastic balls are the cheapest, they have strait trajectory, a good beginner ball or spare ball. Urethane , this ball hooks more , its good for bowler learning to throw a hook . Reactire Resin, its tackier than urethane so it's hook potential increases . this ball does skid on oil, it has a stronger hooking ability on dry boards , a bigger reaction for striking power. this typeis used by most experienced bowlers on most lane contitions .Particle is the last type , a power full reactive resin . It has particles of ceramics, glass and resin to give more grip on oil for a smooth , controlled hook. This type is only good on oily lanes.

There are five different types of oil patterns that are used .The hardest to bowl on is the Scorpion , it's an unpredidictable pattern ,it demands a direct line to the pocket pro's even struggle on it .Viper ,players must attack from angles to soore . Scoring is medium to high on this pattern . Cheetah , a medium to high scoring pattern , best chance is to play near the gutter , this doesn't leave room for error . Shark ,the longest pattern, it forces bowlers to play inside the center of the lane .High scoresresult from this pattern . Finally , Charmeleon ,bowlers must be versitile to score well . Oil is placsd in strips so bowlers have to play in certain zones to soone well.

The final thing to improving my bowling would be to pick up spares . It takes plenty of practice to learn where to throw the ball to conuert a spare . A single pin spare, a ten pin spare , the chop , and sleepers , the bucket , clothesline , all names of second ball atempts . Of course you need to aeroid throwing a split , the baly split , the large splits 4-6-7-10 or the worst the 7-10 , thats a 1000 to 1 odds for a pro.

Final reflection

One day I was walking to my class and when we all got into the room.Then Mr. malley was like hey kids I have a new project for us to do.Mr.malley said the project was about something that we are really into and that's when it came to my head hey I'm really into aliens and UFO I should do it on that. So my questions was do aliens and UFO really exist. The thing about my question is I don't really no if there really is UFO or aliens out there but from the research I did it will get you thinging if there really something out besides us.

I started my research by going to Google and looking up UFO evidence.com and on this web site I seen many photographs of many different aliens that people took during the world war1 and world war2. I been watching video on ufo and aliens on you tube.com . I was watcing this video and this man said he has been abducted by aliens and when they abducted him that he lose time and that he was olny gone for 15Min's but it seem like 3 hours. He also said that when the aliens come here they dont come here to hurt us just to see how were doing and hows life is on earth.Researchers that study UFO from around the united states say there been over 250 UFO crashes seen. Researchers all so say that in buffalo lake Eire is a hot spot for UFO sighting. In the past four days my teacher Mr.Malley told me to go to this wed site called x-files released to the public.com. On this wed site it said ever seance the first sighting of a UFO the government has not released any files. They say over the next three to four years 160 files will be handed over to the national archires. the first group of eight files,one of which is more than 450 pages long, is available today.

After doing this research I got to no alot about UFO and aliens that I didn't no before.I didn't have an answer for my essential question but I got alot of research on my project.I still belive there other thing besides us in this world I all was say if god can make the big bang theory why cant he make other life besides us.

Why is there a area 51

Area 51 is in lincolin county in sothern nevada. Area 51 is a large military airfield and its one of the most secretive places in the world. I found out that area 51 have many diffant names like the paradise ranch,water town strip and bream land. Studies say that the united states goverment keeps died aliens,clones them and reverse-engineers theeir spacecraft. Theu-2 spyplane.the mach3 blockbird,and the f-117 stealth were all developed.from all this info it gets me thinking if there some thing out there besides us but who knows. cory moser

Media Influence on Society - Part 3

DOES THIS LOOK FAMILIAR!?I see a picture similiar to this almost everyday. When my younger brother comes home, most days, he does his homework and then either watches t.v. or goes directly to the neighbors house to play video games. He'll probably grow out of this habit but I DEFINITELY know that there are better,more healthier things to to do than sitting in front of the t.v. and playing video games all of the time Not to the to say that video games are bad, but too much of them probably isn't good either. Studies show a strong link between childhood obesity and video games. Media also has an influence on other types of bad and/or risky health behaviors like underage smoking, underage drinking, eating disorders, suicide, sexual intercourse, and weapon use. Not all people are this deeply influenced by media though.

2nd research UFO

My research on UFO and aliens is getting better. Im starting to get more info on my research and im getting clues on if there really is aliens and or ufo but we would never no right. I seen pictures of area 51 during the day and at night there crazy looking. I also seen pictures of aliens that people took during the old world war 1 and world war 2. The pictures I seen look so real but who knows how real they really are. I still think the government keeping thing from us and dont want us to ind out because I bet the government thinks the world would go crazy if we found these thing out. Im going to do more research to find out a little more about area 51 and why its there and whats the point of it.

I went to google.com and sand for how to pick up the ten pin in bowling . I don't frind that but i frind (picking up spares). it show how to pick up the ten pin ,the chop, baby splits,sleepers, 4-5and5-6 splits,the bucket, 5-7 and 5-10 splits, washout,big splits,"Impossible"splits 7-10 4-6 4-6-7-10.

Media Influence on Society 2

In my last post I didn't give the meaning of media so I will do that now.When most people think of media they tend to think about t.v., the news or radio but media can be any type of communication as long as it reaches a mass of people. Cd's, dvd's, and computers also are considered media because many people around the globe use these types of communication. To further progress my studies I decided to look for statistics. I found a website that gives statistics on how scientists think that children are being effected by media. Statistics show that children are affected by violence in media at any age, but young children are most vulnerable to the effects of violence in media because:
1) They are more easily impressionable.
2) They have a harder time distinguishing between fantasy and reality.
3) They can not easily discern motives for violence.
4) They learn by observing and imitating.

Studies also show that young children who see media violence have a greater chance of exhibiting violent and aggressive behavior later in life, than children who have not seen violent media. I personally found these facts somewhat disturbing, considering all the violence that exists in today's t.v. shows and video games. I'm no stranger to violent media myself though. I was playing Grand Theft Auto at the age of 12! The game definitelty was fun and relieved alot of stress for me but it sends the wrong messages. I never took it too seriously but other kids who happen to grab hold of an older siblings games might.
