Movie Review

Watching the film We Bought a Zoo directed by Jerry Maguire left me inspired. It is a "feel-good" film that is also based on a true story. A single father named Benjamin Mee (due to his wife's recent passing) has left him confused and stuck. He decides to move, and the house he buys is a zoo. Reviving it and his family is the goal, and he does just that. The movie was full of heart, laughs, and relatable feelings. Most of all it gives us a sense of adventure. 
Jerry Maguire (dir.) Starring Matt Damon

    While this review is much shorter than the standard formal film review and focuses on summary for most of the content, you do give two specific examples of why you like it, thanks for that.

My Inspiration Op-Ed is from the Los Angeles Times titled "Happy 'Other' Mother's Day". It is an article that discusses a woman thanking all of the mother figures that have helped raise her throughout her life, rather than her own mother. Her biological mom died at 16. This inspired me, for two reasons. Being a mother any day now I am writing an article that would fall into a similar category of children and family. I also loved this article because growing up without a father I have many 'Other' Fathers that I thank on that one day of the year, and they are special. https://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-torres-mothers-day-community-20190512-story.html The Universal Simplicity in Raising Our Children By Danielle Hagerty August 1 st , 2019 There is not a universal instruction manual for raising all of our children.

Popular Music The response of the recording industry to file sharing has been a negative one, hopefully with positive outcomes. In simple terms file sharing is as it sounds; the giving away of files for free. You could download music, movies, many files at no cost. This also means that the artists that created these files whatever they may be are getting nothing for their work. Napster, and Kazaa are some of the most well known sites that did this. As this began causing problems the record industry was successful in getting these companies shut down in court. I do not believe the 2013 ruling against Jammie Thomas will completely hault file sharing. The internet is much like the ocean, no can really control it completely. It is this weird place that can't be monitored as easily as everything else in our world. I do believe that it will bring notice to the fact that it is still happening and is definitely not okay. This is good.  Since using the "cloud" to st...

PR Crisis Communication

According to the Washington Post, actress Roseanne Barr sent out a tweet May 29th of 2018 that was directed at former president Obama's senior advisor Valerie Jarrett. The tweet was said to be "unbelievably racist" and in "poor taste". The tweet read as follows "Muslim Brotherhood & Planet of the Apes had a baby." After doing so Barr was immediately fired from ABC. What is devastating about that for her is that the reboot of the show "Rosanne" just started, and had a great first couple of episodes. One of which even dealt with the division of thoughts on the current president. In the end Barr tweeted once more her apologies, but it was too late. In today's world there are many PR tactics that end up very unsuccessful. In Rosanne Barr's case the quick apologetic tweet after the initial offense was PR mistake number one. This has been done many times, and tends to almost do worse than any good. Her apology was dismissed by not on...
