Blog 5: Antiwar

    Throughout history war has been a common event in which people have become highly familiar with when dealing with conflicts and other hardships. Wars have been fought, lives have been lost, and more people have developed a dream of peace within our world. Antiwar activists, in particular, have strongly voiced their opinions upon the subject of peace, stopping wars, and bringing the attention of the people to the truth of what is happening in our world. However, there are many people who can agree on the matter that antiwar activist’s websites and other articles are not heard of; one must specifically seek out this information in order to find anything on it at all. Perhaps this reasoning is because in certain cases these activist’s share their strong opinions that tell the truth of violence that is happening within our world that many people wish to block out or ignore all together. There is also the stand on the fact that antiwar activists shine a certain spotlight on the government to encourage them to stop war and conflicts, but this type of pressure is frowned upon. In other cases, antiwar activists create a discussion in which many people within our world can take part in and share in big numbers; which can create change that perhaps is not always wanted by everyone. I believe that together people can form large numbers to accomplish all sorts of change or bring attention to certain matters that need to be heard in the public. War cannot be seen as a “light” matter and therefore needs discussion on how to be avoided or what should be done surrounding the conflict in which presented it in the first place. Opinions, freedom of speech and other forms creating discussion should be heard of by the people in order to hear all sides, all options and to better educate oneself on what events are happening within our world.

Final EOTO: Confirmation Bias

Image
     Every individual has a unique view, a different perspective, and different beliefs that filter what side they may choose to see in different situations. A term most commonly thought of when viewing this is confirmation bias, broadly known as a “tendency to interpret new evidence as confirmation of one’s existing belief or theories.” When viewing the layers of confirmation bias, individuals can refer to times within their life when perhaps they made a decision based on their beliefs or had a disagreement with someone who believed differently from them. Regardless of the case, or if an individual was even aware of the fact that they were using confirmation bias, there remains an interesting psychology behind the reasoning of people believing so strongly on something that gives them a sense of comfort when that belief is made true. In life, people need beliefs and opinions to make up their identity, to have a confidence in feeling prepared or predicting an outcome. Ps...

Blog Post: Supreme Court

Image
     The history of the U.S. Supreme Court can present great insights to our world and how history can guide us in bettering the ways in which matters are handled. In the U.S. Supreme Court, Court Justices hold great responsibility in upholding the law of the Constitution, but also a great duty to the public in a sense of fairness. The Court Justices must also hold great authority to be able to decide upon whether or not cases can be deemed as Constitutional or not. In many cases, the Court Justices can seek guidance for making their decisions based upon the written words that appear in the Constitution for wisdom in dealing with public matters. The Supreme Court holds a wide range of petitions for review of each case and the Justices have the difficult task on labeling which shall move forward and which will be denied. There are key points and questions in which form after a lengthy discussion upon each case, disagreements that may arise, but one matter is clear, that ...
