Entry #6 Ashton Kutcher Speech

So, if you have read my previous blogs, you will have already noticed I have a strong admiration for the actor Ashton Kutcher. Not only do I admire him because he is am amazing actor, but also because he is a humble man who stands up for his own ethics and morals, which is very rare for many celebrities. As an example, please watch the included video (excuse the lenth but it is definately worth the time):

One point that really surprised me was when he talked about all of the flack he got when people found out the type of organization he works with because he is "just an actor". Ashton definately hit the emotional appeal on the head because he got emotional explaning the company that he works withis actually a company tat deals with human sex trafficing of children which will upset any normal human being, but it rewally hit home for those with children (Ashton included) because then your child is put in place of that child in your head. A very sad and self-torturing image to live with.

I admire Ashton Kutcher for fighting for something he believes in and "bestowing the right to pursue happiness" on to others because many people these days are too self obsorbed to focus purely on the needs and the lives of those who can not help themselves. Ashton Kutcher is an understated hero in today's society.

Entry #5 Ducey

While reading "Ducey: Why Arizona needs more college grads", Governor Doug Ducey attemps to appeal to the readers emotions by repeating "as a husband and father" to remind the readers that he is not just a polititions. 

An attempt to change the readers view of him from:

to something more along the lines of:

which many polititians try to do. I think he did a good job and sounded genuine but personally I feel he failed to appeal to the average, every day person who struggles to come up with the money to go to community college, let alone a nice university. Ducey offered plenty of pretty statistics, but failed to expand on how he expects these goals to be attainable and ways to assist those of the middle and lower class attain a higher eduction. Personally, this is why I almost did not attend college myself. Luckily, the resourses were attained, but that is something not all are able to say.
My question is, how does Governor Ducey expect to fix this problem other than distracting us with big numbers and pretty colors?

Entry #4 The Key to Success

A while ago, a video which had a famous actor in it named Ashton Kutcher came accross my news feed so I played it. This video not only touched my heart and resignated close to home for me as it did for many others who are in their late teens and twenties. Before we discuss the video, here it is for you to watch:

Ashton Kutcher discusses 3 key points to being successful.

1. Opportunity.
While discussing opportunity, he appeals strongly to logic because it is only logical to learn from each job (as much as you may hate it at the time) as a learning experience and a way to succeed in the next job that'll take you close to your desired end result. This coming from a huge star that many people know, it resignates in our minds a little better because even the most successful people had to start somewhere!

2. Being Sexy.
Hearing "being sexy" automatically makes the Kardashians come to mind because that was the only way they became successful, but Ashton Kutcher has a different take on what "being sexy" looks like... Instead of taking this time to over sexualize the human body (as most people do now), Ashton took this time to appeal to the ethics our parents tried to raise us with by infasizing that nothing is more sexy than being smart! As a woman who society love to over sexualize, THIS got my attention. Finally someone admits that looks shall fade, but being smart, genuine, and thoughtful will last an eternity.

3.Build a life.
Saving the best for last, do not let someone draw boarders aroung you and limit your ability to change the world. This appealed to my emotions, having been in this box he speaks of time and time again. Instead of just fitting in and living the life your are told to, build the life you have always dreamed of. No one can stop you!

Now, this video was presented to me at the perfect time in my life. Hopefully, I brought it to you just in time.

Entry #3 Slant Reporting

Biased reporting seems to be something for which a large portion of the United States have become aware of when watching news reports (especially during political elections) along with reading information in the news papers and on social media. Now, many are falling victims of slant reporting which is a much smoother way of puttings your own opinion into whatever it is you may be discussing, without looking completely baised. When I think of biased reports and slanted reports in todays society, someone named Tomi Lahren comes to mind. This woman is known for her online news reports for which she expresseds her exreme right wing political views and her conservitive opinions of society.

In the Youtube video I would like to discuss, Trevor Noah is interviewing Tomi Lahren to discuss some of her reports in which he is basically critisizing for being slanted and many times completely biased. Please watch the following and then I shall discuss my own take on the video/interview:

Now having seen the previous video, time to discuss and yes, I know it is a lot to wrap your mind around. In many of Lahren's videos, she appeals to the emotions of her conservitive, right wing audience by discussing the issue many have with the "Black Lives Matter" movement. As said in the video, many associate the unfortunate events with the fallen police officers to be the main goal of the Black Lives Matter movement which is why she addresses it multiple times in multiple videos (get those conservative blood vessels moving!) but she is called out on the fact that she failed to mention these unfortunate insidences were not acted out on by the group as a whole but by the few bad apples in the bunch. So, basically the report is dicussing the few bad scenerios but it is REALLY saying that all of those who "subscribe" to the Black Lives Matter movement are "thugs" and fighting for something which is not an actual issue.

A lot of Tomi Lahren's subscribers have also come to the conclusion that she is working with an agenda which clouds her judgement. The way she has delivered her reports has overall shot her credibility completely. In other words, next time you are on Facebook or Youtube, maybe skip past Tomi Lahren's channel unless you are looking for some slanted reports.
