We have enough

I am very disturbed by the video. Not so much about our government keeping secrets nor about our society getting to caught up in the glamour of worldly obsessions and desires. The government, any government body in fact, has lied and kept secrets from their citizens. That is how the world has always been ruled. Kings and dictators keep secrets their own personal gain. What makes America different is that we have the right to choose our officials, choose our laws, and amend any law that is outdated and shows negative results. As for society becoming more worldlier, obviously that is going to happen. As technology grows there will always be something new that people will want to get. What is so wrong about being entertained. What else will we do with our lives? Become mindless robots that just work all day. Life would be boring and unadventurous. I'm going to live my life however the hell i want to. I was perturbed that they believe that the media can control us and manipulate us into believing so-called false events. How can they say that 9/11 was a lie? Are they Stupid? How can they tells us that 9/11 was a lie when i saw the second plane crash into the building and when a classmate of mine's father was outside the building when the planes crashed. If it was a lie where are the people who died? and where our soldiers who died overseas? Are they on a deserted island never to be found. I'm not saying America is perfect cause we are no way so,but if we can sit around and argue about how the media controls or manipulates society then we are doing pretty good compared to other countries in the world.

1st blog ever

Hello, my name is Adam do Amaral and this will be my first blog entry ever. I have never kept a journal or any other kind of book in which I wrote my feelings. To find out that I had to keep a online blog as a journal scares me a little. Journals are meant to be kept secret, so the thought that everyone can see my thoughts, see what I'm going through, but not actually know me freaks me out.
It is really hard for me to write down my feelings especially when the journals are assignments and not of my own accord. It may be different to write blogs if I did them for fun but for entries to be mandatory and to be evaluated. How does the professor grade? What does she think of it? Many questions can arise and even more when dealing with my classmates. What are they thinking of me? Am I weird, stupid, cool, funny etc... Do they like my thoughts or hate my thoughts? Is anyone going through a similar situation as me?
As of right now I am scared shitless in opening myself to the world or atleast the class in such a way as the Internet. It takes a lot of time for me to open up. But as the class continues I feel I can reveal the true me to the world.
