Glenn Greenwald

I was interested in reading about Glenn Greenwald. I took a look at every page of his that you posted on the website here and I didn't read every single page but I glanced at a few of them. He is very interested in politics and US studies as well as what is going on in our country and all around the world. In my opinion he has way to much time and effort for this. LOL I would never want to sit down and study all that he does. I am just not the kind of person to want to know everything about our country. Maybe I should worry about what is going on but I really don't. I have never been interested in world history or politics for some reason. Greenwald is a good man and lets the world know what he thinks and posts things about different issues going on and different liberty and justice rights. I liked how he shared a lot about security for our nation as a whole. He has a lot of great information on his sites that are very intesting to read about. Once I got to reading I learned more from him and what his point of view was as a person and as an American citizen. It is cool to read about what all is happening in the nation I live it and love. I knew that we had a lot of issues in America to take care of but I did not know a lot of them that was going on.

Propaganda and Persuasion

I did not know a lot about propaganda until I read about it during this assignment. I learned a lot about it. I knew a lot already about persuasion. Propaganda is a form of communication that attempts to achieve a responcse that interests te intent of the propagandist. Propaganda has been studied as history, journalism, political science and other places as well. Persuasion is another form of communication that I know I like to use a lot when I write papers or even when I communicate with friends. Propaganda employs persuasive strategies. The use of propaganda is to look to an audience with a related object. A lot of times when I write persuasive papers, I like it because I want to put my opinions out there to the people who read my papers and let them know my point of view and how it should work. The purpose of persuasion is to let the reader know there is another option out there than just theirs. Persuasive papers are my favorite kind of papers to write besides personal papers. They are easy papers for me to write. I did not know from reading about these sujects that they have a lot in common and they work together.
