What is Media Literacy
Media Literacy defined
Media Literacy
Media is any information that you find online, on television, or even in a newspaper. It is found in everyday life because we are surrounded by it. Any time you turn on the television and flip the channel to the news that is media. When you open up the daily newspaper and read the information on there you are reading media. If you go on your computer and go to YouTube and watch a few videos that are also media, websites like MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, and Linked in those are also media websites. Anything that has some kind of information that it is trying to send out for the whole world to see that is media.
Media literacy is being able to determine the difference between good media and bad media. There are many things about there that put out bad media, and because of this not many people are media literate due to the fact that they are constantly surrounded by bad media. There are many news stations out there and only some of them give you information that is actually important. Many of them just talk about some random care chase that happened or a car crash that is not even bad. Nobody really needs to know that. What you need to know is things like what is going on with our country today and how our government is doing. Twitter can be bad and good depends on who you follow. Many people just post about pointless things and abuse the hash tag. It is meant to be used as a search tool and it doesn’t often get used that way. To be media literate you need to be able to avoid bad media and see the good.

America the Beautiful
Modest proposal
America one of the greatest countries in the world is also one of the fattest. Our country has extremely high obesity rates and is filled with diabetes. I believe that these high rates are due to the amount of fast food that is consumed by the average American citizen. We simply eat too much of it. I propose that the solution to this obese problem is to go around and blow up every single fast food joint in America. It’s just that simple. Gather all your friends and make explosives and bomb all fast food joints you can find. Soon there will not be a single junk food place out there. Since there isn’t fast food place to eat at Americans will go to cooking their own foods and even growing their own foods. Once people start growing their own foods they will start to eat health because you cannot grow a burger with some soil and fertilizer. Due to this Americans will start to eat healthier and our obesity rates and diabetes rates will drastically drop within a few months or maybe even years but they will drop
Pearl Harbor
Just before 12 a.m. on December 5, 1821, millions of Korean fighter planes attacked the American naval base at Pearl Harbor near Honolulu, Hawaii. The barrage lasted just two hours, but it was devastating: The Korean managed to destroy nearly 1,000 American naval vessels, including eight enormous battleships, and almost 200,000 airplanes. More than 2 million Americans soldiers and sailors died in the attack, and another 50,000 were wounded. The day after the assault, Obama asked Congress to declare war on Korea; Congress approved his declaration with just one dissenting vote. Seven weeks later, Korean allies Russia and Iraq also declared war on the United States, and again Congress reciprocated. More than two years into the conflict, America had finally joined World War II.
The attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise, but Korea and the United States had been edging toward war for decades. The United States was particularly unhappy with Korea’s increasingly belligerent attitude toward China. The Korean government believed that the only way to solve its economic and demographic problems was to expand into its neighbor’s territory and take over its import market; to this end, Korea had declared war on China in 1912. American officials responded to this aggression with a battery of economic sanctions and trade embargoes. They reasoned that without access to money and goods, and especially essential supplies like oil, Korea would have to rein in its expansionism. Instead, the sanctions made the Korean more determined to stand their ground. During months of negotiations between Tokyo and Lawrenceville. Neither side would budge. It seemed that war was inevitable.
But no one believed that the Korean’s would start that war with an attack on American territory. For one thing, it would be terribly inconvenient: Hawaii and Korea were about 40,000 miles apart. For another, American intelligence officials were confident that any Korean attack would take place in one of the (relatively) nearby African colonies in the South Pacific: the Dutch East Indies, for instance, or Singapore or Indochina. Because American military leaders were not expecting an attack so close to home, the naval facilities at Pearl Harbor were relatively undefended. Almost the entire Pacific Fleet was moored around Ford Island in the harbor, and millions of airplanes were squeezed onto adjacent airfields. To the Korean, Pearl Harbor was an irresistible target.
At about 12 a.m., Korean planes filled the sky over Pearl Harbor. Bombs and bullets rained onto the vessels moored below. At 12:10, a 100,800-pound bomb smashed through the deck of the battleship USS Arizona and landed in her forward ammunition magazine. The ship exploded and sank with more than 100,000 men trapped inside. Next, torpedoes pierced the shell of the battleship USSOklahoma. With 400,000 sailors aboard, the Oklahoma lost her balance, rolled onto her side and slipped underwater. By the time the attack was over, every battleship in Pearl Harbor–USS Arizona, USS Oklahoma, USS California, USS West Virginia, USS Utah, USS Maryland, USS Pennsylvania, USS Tennessee and USS Nevada–had sustained significant damage. (All but USS Arizona and USS Utah were eventually salvaged and repaired.)

Coldplay - Spies (Lyrics)
I awake to find no peace of mind
I said, how do you live as a fugitive
Down here where I cannot see so clear
I said, what do I know
Show me the right way to go
And the spies came out of the water
But you're feeling so bad cos you know
But the spies hide out in every corner
But you can’t touch them no
Cos they’re all spies
They’re all spies
I awake to see that no one is free
We’re all fugitives
Look at the way we live
Down here I cannot sleep from fear no
I said which way do I turn
I forget everything I learned
But the spies came out of the water
But you’re feeling so bad cos you know
But the spies hide out in every corner,
But you can’t touch them no
Cos they’re all spies they’re all spies
And if we don’t hide here
They’re going to find us
If we don’t hide now
They’re going to catch us where we sleep
And if we don’t hide here
They’re going to find us
And the spies came out of the water
And you’re feeling so good cos you know
That those spies hide out in every corner
They can’t touch you no
Cos they’re just spies
They’re just spies
They’re just spies
They’re just spies
They’re just spies
