The Defender of Expression: How the media plays a role in the defense of human expression

The media and news industry set the narrative for society. Their role in society is absolutely necessary, especially because they also play a major role in protecting free expression.

Thou Shall Not Assemble: Where are the lines to public expression?

I’ll just state it plainly: yes, states restricting certain components of the 1st amendment does concern me to a high degree. We’ve been a polarized country since I can remember, and if the average American is partisan, then your average legislator is likely an extremist. With the rise of such restrictive legislation, I think it’sContinueContinue reading “Thou Shall Not Assemble: Where are the lines to public expression?”

A SLAPP in the Face: A Battle Between Accountability and Silencing

It really is hard to define how the 1st Amendment should work in today’s society, especially with how difficult it has become to stay on track of the stories being circulated today.

Where I have trouble is inContinueContinue reading “A SLAPP in the Face: A Battle Between Accountability and Silencing”

Escapism – How Gaga (and co.) Can Help in the Information War

At that time she was experiencing a pretty once-in-a-lifetime debut, and you could not escape her. Bad Romance was a cultural hit. There wasn’tContinueContinue reading “Escapism – How Gaga (and co.)

BE A MAN! …but not really?

A stereotype I have always faced difficulty with is the idea that gay men naturally present feminine and are not masculine. It is something that, for me personally, just happened. I grew up with sisters and very excitedly participated in pop culture online by posting about my favorite pop girls, and keeping up with theContinueContinue reading “BE A MAN! …but not really?”

A Groundwork for Mass Conspiracy: Sandy Hook

Conspiracy is ruthless when it comes to what subject it will take and create an “alternate reality” of sorts. Overall we all still have an idea of what happened at Sandy Hook Elementary when on Dec 14th, 2012 a shooter entered the school and proceeded to murder 26 people, including 20 1st grade children. AContinueContinue reading “A Groundwork for Mass Conspiracy: Sandy Hook”
