A Program Worth While

I love the book the Tipping Point. It is so inspiring. I definitely feel that the techniques and rules can definitely be applied to everyday life and even the business we choose to be in. I really do fell like all of the books we went over in the class have been a great tool for the real world. The knowledge it provide us with is priceless. We can definitely be equipped to handle anything that our jobs throw our way. I definitely feel that the journalism program at UNT is the best. I had a conversation with someone the other day and when I told them I was in the journalism program at UNT they were like oh yea, I know about North Texas. It is very rewarding to receive an education from a place that is accredited and others know about our program. I really am thankful for great professors who actually care about the students. They don’t think of us as just a number but as a person. It’s just a great feeling. Hanks for letting me vent again.

Enron

I am really glad that we had a chance to watch the movie about Enron. It was a very interesting story that was made into a remarkable movie. It is always good to learn about our companies past mistakes so when put into a situation one can see the red flags before it’s too late. The story of Enron was very compelling and it traced the mistakes of a company whose greed led to it’s ultimate demise. The mistakes they made were mistakes any company could make and any person should be cautious when such warnings appear. What was so interesting to me about the story were the different characters. We weren’t just shown a company but we got to take a look at the masterminds behind the company. I feel the downward spiral of Enron could definitely be seen as the fall of Caesar type story for today’s society.

A Crumbling Society

I am outrage by the way our country has regulated our energy. Recent discussions in class have got me thinking about ways we can stand up and reverse these adverse effects. I am appalled that our government would let such horrible grievances fall upon our great country. They seem to love repeating history. The fall of great companies and the destruction of many economies. I feel a though our own country is supporting terrorism withing our own boarders. For them to allow these treacherous acts that our energy companies are partaking in to continue is a travesty. When will it all stop. When are economy has finally fallen. When we are so disgusted with ourselves that we finally start fighting each other. I wonder how far can we go before we finally crumble. Enough is enough!!!
