Over the many topics we have discussed this semester I have learned a lot. Most importantly to always be aware of what is going on in the world and how to respond in certain situations so that a spectacle is not made. I have also learned that leaders won't always do the right thing but we have to trust that the right thing will happen eventually. The greatest thing to take away from this semester is that everyone has a different opinion.
Every news station, everyone in this class, everyone with a brain thinks and feels differently. People within the same parties often have major disagreements regarding policy issues specifically. It is important to always speak your mind in a sound and appropriate fashion. If you can be heard you can make the change you desire.

Everyones Involved
One thing i have learned through this class is that almost everyone we see in the media is a politician in one way or another. If someone is standing for something they believe in this is politics to a definition. In the acts that have taken place in Ferguson, Mo, everyone is involved with the politics of the situation. Everyone wants to be heard and everyone wants to make a difference.
We have seen protestors and people rioting and changing lives for people that just want to get passed this. We have even seen Professional Athletes make statements disgraced by the actions of people of their race. They were embarrassed and wanted people to be aware that not all individuals of that race felt that way and deserved the judgement and repercussions that were awaiting.
Meanwhile in St. Loius on Sunday, 5 Rams players made a spectacle of themselves on the field prior to a football game where they five individuals raised their hands in a don't shoot position as Michael brown is said to have done. This again is another form of protesting. The players are becoming under much consideration and it appears punishments will await them. Its crazy that even role models for children can act in such defiance.

Obama Care failing
The whole point of Obama Care was to provide healthcare to everyone. We now see that it is not being so great as we were promised. People are losing interest and have no faith in what is supposed to be the best healthcare for all people. The Healthcare website just launched a area where small business owners may sign their employees up for obamacare.
We have known from day one that Obamacare was for the lower class people and that the UpperClass people would be affected in a negative way by it. Most small business owners are in the middle class. so they still suffer a negative affect to those that are receiving free government healthcare. They do not want to sign up their employees when it will only harm them a little more each time. So needless to say the area of the website has been almost unused and people really just tend to stay away.

Ending ISIS?
One of the major topics over the course of the semester has been ISIS. Sadly, it has not come to an end yet and i don't even believe there is light at the end of the tunnel but i do see some slight progress. The US is now currently working to gain turkey on our side for the use of their military bases and a joint military strike. This is the very step that needs to be take to end this war.
Throughout all of the ISIS troubles people from the west have been going in to syria to be a part of this militant group. How did they get into Syria in the midst of a war?? They simply travel to turkey and travel into Syria from their. Because Turkey is a part of NATO this should play for our cause a little. the members should be able to guilt Turkey into doing the right thing.

This article is a really good read about the process taking place in Turkey so that we can be more forceful in ending the war. Turkey is such a great place to be for us to invade northern Syria and end the war. It may take more troops but in order to keep our people safe it is necessary.
