    The media manipulation explained in the video we watched today was appalling. The cows injected with rBGH produce milk from severe physical and mental strain. Monsanto's artificial hormone destroyed the cows and the antibiotics in them were eventually consumed by people. Moreover, the intake of milk from cows injected with rBGH increase breast cancer and other types of cancer.  People consuming Monsanto's highly dangerous product have no idea which is the most diabolical way of promoting business.       The detectives who were working on disclosing the truth had talked about the fact that their story was killed by Fox news. Apparently, Monsanto is affiliated with top fox advertisers. As Mr.Paterson had mentioned, a lot of the companies are owned by several big industries and are all connected. Any company could cover up information and manipulate their target customers, continuously lying to their face. I am glad that I got to learn a lot abou...

     After researching about the Kisha club, I found out that there are approximately 200 professional events organized annually by JNPC (Japanese National Press Club) involving Japanese and foreign guest speakers. I personally thought that if there are foreigners invited to speak, reporters from different countries should be allowed to come to the events.

Moreover, i noticed that no one ever talks about the Kisha club in japan and wondered if the people even know about this barbaric system.   notes:  Kisha Club reporters only Japa...

    Today, we went outside of class to take a single picture, showing the superior side of our campus. I decided to take a picture of the classroom on the first floor which had a wide window and was surrounded by greens. This environment gives the audience an image that the classroom gets enough sunlight. Others, went up to a higher floor to capture the campus from a different angle, making it seem like the buildings are much cleaner than in reality. We were choosing what to include in the picture and whatnot, controlling what people think. The same goes with politics. Electors are manipulated by members of the parliament and most likely only shown their righteous sides. We were changing bits of the school to make it seem like it was better than reality, which then becomes closer to "fake".      Photos for our Bio should tell the reader how powerful and dynamic we are. Therefore, blurring out the background or completely cropping off the background allows the pi...
