I consider Facebook, Fox News and word of mouth to get my information. I know facebook isn't a good source to get information from so I am very careful about what I believe and sometimes even with word of mouth I have to check their sources and do a little research of my own to find out if its true. I don't like the fact that there is so much fake news out there right now because it makes it very hard to believe anything you are told. If I am going to pass the information along to my family I check facts and make sure everything adds up before sharing. When I was younger I took a journalism class and was taught to only write the truth. That being said its sad when I read a post online or the newspaper and I have to go check out the Author, the paper and make sure at least 3 other accredited news sources all say the same thing before I can let myself believe it. I should be able to pick up a phone read an article and tell my friends about it imminently without having to check so
I am a Psychology Major just finishing up my second year here at LBCC. My career goal is to counsel people with drug dependencies. I myself am 3 years sober from Meth and I would love to be a part of the reason someone else makes that choice to follow sobriety. I love to write and I want to become an author one day, so this class should help me to pinpoint my audience and learn how to speak to that intended audience.
