Week 10 Blog Topic: Class Highlights






  1. Bibliophile: I am actually this type of person who love to collect books and a lover of books particularly for qualities of format. 
  2. The Titanic’s disaster: the radio operators of other ships had turned off the equipment for the night, so the Titanic distress calls could not contact the other ships. The disaster could have prevented if the radio had not been turned off. The radio Act of 1912 required all ships leave their radios on all day 24 hours no matter what happens. 
  3. The First Amendment says that congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
  4. "Journalism is a guardian that never sleeps and protects freedom of the people" - Winston Churchill". The importance of journalism comes from the people's right to opinion and expression.
  5. List of most commonly challenged books in the United States: to Kill a Mocking Bird, the Great Gatsby, The Catcher in the Rye, The Jungle etc. I have read all these banned and challenged books. They are banned because of certain social, sexual or ethical issues.
