It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s a Missile, It’s a Contrail! Wait, what?
This was one of the biggest news on all the news channels not too long ago. The concept of yellow journalism is to catch the readers attention and exaggerate or lie about their stories. During the Spanish American War yellow journalism was very common and till this day is still is. The journalist that write these articles know how to get the readers attention. They exaggerate the words and add some lies in order to either make it move believeable or to make it more interesting. The headline above is a good example of yellow journalism and how gullible people are. Fox news was one of the main channels to blow this story out of porportion along with many other news channels. Now a days most of these yellow journalism sotries are mostly seen on television, but it doesnt change wether it is on tv or on newspapers. Back then during the Spanish American War this was very popular in society but they did not had tv news to hear these articles from. The exaggerated headlines during that time was used to get more people to buy newspapers. In conclusion till this day and for many years to come yellow journalism will be used among society.

Imperialism within the toys !
In this picture we see the stronger group of toys opressing a weaker one.
One of the best movies , that is not only entertaining but also interprets the meaning of imperialism is Toy Story 3! Throghout the movie there is confrontation between good and evil. At the beggining of the movie we experience the good toys moving into the day care with other toys, as the movie goes on the evil toys reveal and there is a stronger group of toys opressing a weaker one. The weaker toys are the toys that just moved in to the day care. The leader of the stronger group is the big bear. At first he introduces them to all the toys and makes the day care seem like it is a dream cometrue for all toys. In reality that is a lie, the bear wants to make the weaker group of toys miserable, so he sends them to stay at the worst side of the daycare where they wont be treated good. At night the stronger force is watching the whole place to keep everything in "order." The big bear pretty much has control over the whole place and all the toys. In imperialism one dominant nation has control of a number of countries. In this case we can classify the bear and his possy as the dominant nation and Andy's toys as the smaller countries. He pretty much has control of everything. The bear is doing everything he does because he is jelous he wants revenge so he decided to take over. The weaker group tries to fight against the stronger group and they outsmart them. Toy Story 3 is a very good and easy example of how imperialism works, and it is interpred in a very understandable way. Imperialism is not a fun way to live. Being controlled by one person is not something anyone looks foward to, not being able to do certain things because the stronger group says so. the toys dislike that aswell so they do everything they can to leave the day care. In the movie we experience all the confrontations and obsticle the weaker groups goes through in order to be free, and no live within the conditions of the evil toys. Not only do we experience imperialism withing the groups but just like the Americans do to train people to overthrow or fight in other countries the evil group in the movie gets Buzz one of the toys from the weaker group and they program him to be on their side and fight against his own people.

SOA!
I stongly disagree with the United States being able to operate such an organization and train people in the practice of the coup d'etat. First of all the organization is not made for a good cause. All the latin americans that are trained at the SOA used their skills to cause war against their own. Good latin americans such as educators, union organizers, religious workers, student leaders, and others are targeted and use their potentials for bad. Istead of being good people they torture, rape, assassinate, “disappeare,” massacre, and force into refugee people of their own kind, that is wrong in not one but many ways. These people that are trained as soldies to do bad things instead of good and help others. Although the SOA is not such a good school and many Americans and Latin Americans may not agree with all the things they do, the Unites States has too much power to even care what others have to say. I do not agree with the United States being able to have such organizations.
