Where Politics Meet Small Town America
Sure, you vote for your freedoms. Sure, you vote for what is right. Sure…. I will buy that the day that I can afford a Lamborghini on my Wyoming working three-jobs budget! People vote for, about 90% of the population, how they are swayed with propaganda. If you truly were in an isolated room and had to read about each candidate, or wait reading, is that a thing anymore? Anyways–being an informed voter not being swayed by friends, memes, social media, and TV media in general, I think politics would look a lot different today.

Scared of the Dark. Content Warning.
Her eyes would just not close. The clock on the nightstand glowed with the reality that sleep was being wasted; minutes marched by so quickly; she would not get any of them back.

Analysis of FDR's Speech to Congress the day after Pearl Harbor Bombing
Franklin Delano Roosevelt utilized a monumental event that became pivotal in the United States involvement and initial push to enter World War II. This was a reactionary speech in answer to a very unexpected attack just hours after negotiations had been in progress to keep the Pacific theater at peace between the United States and Japan. This speech is emotionally charged using a strong ethos and ties to national pride and sovereignty. FDR wants to make sure that people understand the crucial necessity to react to this in an answer that will solidify as he states in his speech “our righteous anger” as a nation for this cowardly attack.

Viola Davis's Emmy Speech
The Emmy’s is a prestigious award that so many artists try to attain at some point in their career. Viola Davis’s award for the outstanding female lead in a TV drama was ground-breaking for women of color in 2015. She stated as much in her acceptance speech. Her use of language at the root is powerful in that it is bold, brave, simple, and straight forward. She uses the rhetorical vehicles of metaphor and inclusion to help the audience visualize the line that is being crossed in the film/TV industry and that opportunity is coming.

How private is your social life?
Privacy seems to be something that is disappearing over time. The more that our society connects, especially online, the more we start to realize just how much of ourselves is published and known out there in the world. The three big companies’ privacy policies I am reviewing will be Facebook, LinkedIn, and Snapchat. These three companies seem to collect a cross section of information or create a false sense of security possibly in the information you share.

Video Games & Hypothetical Communication Law Analysis
Hypothetical Situation to analyize based on communication law class COMM403 @ Penn State World Campus In answer to the Public Act No. 235 signed into law by the governor of Catatonia, there are flaws within the written text that can deem this act unconstitutional. Laws that will define a possible restraint on freedom of expression need to be strictly vetted for language that is content-neutral. Reviewing the language of Public Act No. 235 this law is not content-neutral when held up to the strict scrutiny test.
