How important the use of media and internet is

Barack Obama recently visited Jay Leno. To be on a show like that has its pros and cons. Firs of all Obama will meet a big audience, maybe the younger generation. In this way he can reach out to everyone and more people will listen to him. But there are negative sides visiting Jay Leno. His program isn’t the most serious one and this can make people think Obama in unserious. This isn’t a program for the President of America but for celebrities, but today the President is a celebrity. He is modern and different. But as said earlier, it can be risky being interviewed at Jay Leno’s show.

A group of students has used the internet to make an important statement. Their families are struggling because of the financial crisis. It has gone so far that they might have to quit school to work and take care of their families. People are losing their jobs and they are going through a hard time. Obama used internet a lot during his campaign and so did the students. Obama actually watched the video, said that he “listened to them”. He wants to help his country and show that he is listening. What the students accomplished was important, not only did they describe their situation, but they know others are struggling even more. Their goal was probably to reach the President, and they succeeded.

In Depth....

Well, I thought about my finale project and decided to change subject. I am actually really tired of the whole "financial crisis and what to do"- thing. Therefore I now want to work with:

Martin Luther King Jr. won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, why did he win and how important was his role in the civil rights movement?

What he has done is amazing, but I don't feel I know everything about him. This is also something I really want to work with and feel is important.

Written Senior Project

I have decided to do a project on the financial crisis in America, and what Obama can do to save his country. This seems like an exciting task and I am looking forward to it.
