Just got done my History of Mass Communications homework about an hour ago and I've been sitting here listening to drunk people running down the halls and Paramore blaring in my headphones for entertainment. I accidentally read the wrong blog post before going back to my assignment and making sure what I was reading was right, which it wasn't. The homework assignment was about Photojournalism and the photo manipulation controversy that surrounds most government bodies and any major wars we might have (For example the War on Terrorism) I found the articles really enlightening and I really hope I can retain enough for tomorrow but just in case I'll probably skim first thing in the morning and grab bits to remember before class. Anyway back on the topic of drunken floor mates and the accidentally read article which actually relates to them quite well. It was about this whole theory of how stupid people don't actually realize they're stupid and it was about how we as human beings would LIKE to know all that we need to know. But often times we do not. A good reference of the article was "unknown unknowns" A quote from a speech by Rumsfeld a government official who was talking about what we know/don't know about the War. How do we KNOW we don't know something. We don't know it so it doesn't exist? Nope not true. We only have "known unknowns" things we know we don't know. Although I think Rumsfeld was just trying to cover himself with confusing statements I still think its nice he admitted he had no clue what was going on. lol..
Anyway XD that was all my enlightning stuff for the day along with a run down of my night. I'll see about posting links to the parts of the accidentally read article another time but for now off to bed for me to recover from the stomach flu yay! *pumps myself with drugs* XD
