Reporters in the Line of Fire

How far would anyone go to the break through story? Journalists all around the world go so far to try and get their big scoop. Some people find it stupid how people risk their own lives to get a simple story. Even if journalism is your career, one should never put them self in danger for anything. It is idiotic how some journalists will risk their own lives to get a certain story. There have been many cases where journalists have seen the face of death, still survive, and still continue in this career. They are putting themselves in danger and can even put other people in danger. But we must also try to understand it through the eyes of a real journalist. These stories make their career in the first place; their reputation; their respect from others. If someone continues to just write articles about local small events, or world records, it is true that they will most likely not be recognized. Most people remember the names of those reporters who find the big scandal of a celebrity, or go into natural disasters, or even find a secret that will destroy the world. That is the goal of most reporters; to make it to the top. They want to be like a celebrity with their talents of bringing news that will have their article and their name in the headlines. Their actions are reasonable, but sometimes they go too far to get their big scoop. They violate the privacy of many people, they often break the law, and their risk the one thing that is most precious to one person; their life. Nothing is ever worth of someone's life no matter what job it is. Journalists often become obsessive with their work to expose, headline, and ruin, but these kind of reporters need to get out of the business or find another approach to their job because their work will end up killing them.

Are Wii the Children of the Revolution?

The Nintendo Wii is the latest product from Nintendo, which can be considered revolutionary. So far, all we know about the Wii is that you can play games on it which a wireless controller you can use like a remote, not exactly like a controller. Well, honestly what is the Wii and what makes it so interesting that it is "revolutionary" to all ages groups? Well, the Wii is a unique game console where a player is able to use their body movements to move the characters with their remote instead of hand controller where you are limited to buttons. What makes the Wii so interesting? So far there is no other game console that uses body motion to play. It gets the players active and able to move around instead of being limited to a seat. Why would the Wii be considered "revolutionary" for age groups? The Wii can be played by anyone. Sure other game consoles allow different age groups to play their games as well, but the Wii uses actually games that all people would be interested in playing. No matter how old you are, you can play tennis, boxing, golf, baseball, etc. It is easy to understand and tons of fun. I myself have played the Wii and found it incredibly amusing. The entire family can join in on the fun. Mom, Dad, Sister, and even some unwanted guests who just drop by to play. The Wii does not limit a player to button sequences which can get confusing and tiring. The Wii, just move to the flow, punch the other guy in the face, and hit the ball as fast as you can. The simplicity along with the entertainment, the Wii has proven to be favourable to many people. Even though it may not be appealing to you at the moment and wonder why there's so much buzz around it, ask any person who's waited outside a store for 6 hours, or paid double online, or waited 2 weeks with a special order, and they can also tell you plain and simple why they would love the Wii. It is revolutionary.
