Study on HB 3015 Tuition Set Asides This document provides a brief history on tuition set aside practices in the state of Texas studies the impacts to students at Texas Higher Education Institutions and discusses areas for abuses and shortfalls of the tuition set aside program Background Texas Legislature passed HB 3015 in 2003 which deregulated tuition and enacted requirements that all public universities set aside a certain amount of every students tuition each semester in order to fund needsbased financial assistance programs for Texas residents Prior to tuition deregulation in 2003 the state legislature mandated flat rate tuition for all public institutions There are now two parts to tuition statutory and designated Statutory tuition is the rate that the state mandates colleges charge and is the same for all public higher education institutions It is currently 50 per semester hour for instate students and 327 for outofstate students 15 of graduate and undergraduate statutory tuition is set aside and reserved for the Texas Public Educational Grant and the Emergency Loan Program Designated tuition on the other hand is determined by each institution According to the Texas Education Code there is no limit as to the amount of designated tuition that can be charged 15 of graduate and undergraduate designated tuition that exceeds of 46 per semester credit hour is set aside and goes to the Universitys tuition grant account Another 5 is set aside from undergraduate designated tuition to fund the Texas BOn Time Loan Program Set asides collected for this program go to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board which controls the program Although the BOnTime program awards loans to private and public institutions only public institutions are required to set aside students tuition to fund the program This creates an unfair burden for students attending public institutions because they must provide the funding for the program but both private and public universities have access to the funds Financial need is determined based on the students Federal Application for Financial Aid FAFSA and the estimated cost of attendance as established by each institution Students seeking financial aid that are nonUS citizens who are ineligible to apply for federal student aid can meet the Texas state residency requirements under House Bill 1403 and can complete the Texas Application for State Financial Aid TASFA in lieu of the FAFSA form Students who are eligible to complete the TASFA application can then compete for state funds without being US Citizens or legal US residents In June 2009 the Texas Legislature passed SB 1304 which requires public institutions to notify students of where their money is going This bill which took effect beginning the Spring 2010 semester requires universities provide each student a notice regarding the specific amount of their tuition required to be set aside Since 2003 tuition rates have increased 86 As the costs associated with higher education have continued to rise more students and families are struggling to pay for college and must find additional funding sources to meet the growing costs Yet many of these same students are unaware that a significant portion of their tuition is used to provide financial assistance to other students Impact on Students A closer inspection on tuition set aside practices reveals that these tuition set asides may represent a significant catalyst for these drastic cost increases To illustrate this theory consider an undergraduate student at Texas AM University The student will pay 2568 1 in tuition per semester 15 hour semester Over four years the student will pay 20545 in tuition of which 2718 will have been set aside for needy students Having borrowed 20545 for tuition the student will make 28372 2 in cumulative payments 540 in interest on the loan principle that was set aside for others So the student will have to pay an additional 3258 to obtain their fouryear degree due to the set aside tuition and interest on set aside portion of the student loan In 2003 the student would have paid only 1380 3 in tuition for the same 15 hour semester This means that tuition has increased 1188 at Texas AM University since 2003 Of this 1188 increase 513 4 43 is a result of the tuition set aside practice Set Asides by the Numbers Trackbacks 1 Comments 0 No comments yet Comments are closed

Alan Jacksons Wife CancerFree and Looking Good Brittany Joy Cooper In 2010 Alan Jackson and his family received the news no one ever wants to hear His wife Denise Jackson had been diagnosed with cancer In an episode of GACs Backstory last year the Chattahoochee singer confessed what a difficult time it was for him to see his high school sweetheart suffering saying To see her go through that it was the hardest thing Ive ever been through Ive been taking care of her since she was 16 but I couldnt do anything to help her It was tough Now thankfully Denise is cancerfree Jackson opened up in an interview recently about how well his wife is doing and how much theyre enjoying their days now that they have a new perspective about them Shes doing great Jackson told the Boot Of course you have to get a scan every few months to check on everything and its all been clear and looking good She didnt lose all her hair but it did get pretty thin Shes looking better now Shes probably more healthy than shes ever been now because she watches what she eats and does and now shes wearing me out Everythings looking good I appreciate everybodys prayers and concerns The pair who have admittedly dealt with the marital struggles that come from more than 30 years of marriage continue to learn from each other the singer says Ive been in this relationship Im in for 30something years now and some days I wish I wasnt married to her and most of the time Im glad I am he shares I dont care if its somebody that seems compatible or your soul mate you have to work at it all the time I always find that most times you treat strangers nicer than you do somebody thats close to you In 2007 Denises book Its All About Him Finding the Love of My Life became a bestseller and now that shes on the other side of such a health scare it seems shes thinking of writing another one but Jacksons not giving any details away I cant really speak for her but she has felt like she wants to write something about what she just went through with this because its such a tough experience he says She drew from her faith to help her get through that and I think she feels strongly about trying to do something with that eventually Filed Under Alan Jackson Categories Country Music News Comments Leave A Comment

Doug Lemovs field notes Reflections on teaching literacy coaching and practice All Notes Teaching Schools Coaching Practice 011115 Maggie Johnson How Derek Pollak Excavates Error Video Theres immense value is digging up and studying student errors With Teach Like a Champion 20 lining the shelves of a book store near you were back at the tiller at TLaC Towers studying and learning from teachers Recently we watched a lesson of Derek Pollaks at North Star High School and were pretty inspired We liked this clip in particular and Maggie Johnson volunteered to write a playbyplay of some of the things we thought were useful Turns out the useful stuff she noted offers a pretty good guide to some of the high points of the NEW Teach Like a Champion 20 so I took the liberty of adding some crossreferences in her write up to help readers of Teach Like a Champion 20 find and read more about the ideas Maggie is describing in her post Heres Maggie Recently the TLaC team watched a clip of Derek Pollaks high school Calculus class at North Star High School in Newark We were blown away by the suite of techniques he used to orchestrate a seemingly effortless Deep Excavation Teach Like a Champion 20 pages 7576 Technique 9 Excavate Error an extended study of a common student error It was one of those moments that made me believe ESPN should be broadcasting highlight reels of teachers In that spirit heres my best play by play of Dereks heroic teaching The clip opens with Derek circulating among groups of students busily discussing their answers and engaging them about their work The timer projected on the board counts down from 42 seconds while Derek asks a student Whats your final answer here He examines two pieces of student work in front of him Then he asks Why positive and listens carefully to two students explanation of their thinking Teach Like a Champion 20 page 185 engage while you circulate Technique 24 Circulate In an eyeblink he is looking over the shoulder of another student and efficiently gathering more data about his class understanding Teach Like a Champion 20 page 45 Technique 4 Tracking Not Watching Derek calmly calls the class to attention with the phrase Track up front Teach Like a Champion 20 page 360 Technique 47 STARSLANT and casually picks up a piece of work from the desk of one of the students hes just conferred with in anticipation of a Show Call Teach Like a Champion 20 page 290 Show Call His smooth and steady transition keeps the focus on the math Notice he takes Kaleeshas paper off her desk wordlesslyan unnarrated take page 297 from Show Call signaling to Kaleesha and her classmates that Show Call is both lowstakes and routine This seamless transaction reveals the strong Culture of Error Derek has built in his classroom students are not only comfortable sharing their work publicly they expect it Teach Like a Champion 20 page 64 Technique 8 Culture of Error But it doesnt stop there He justifies the groups analysis of Kaleeshas work by revealing that he had seen the same error in the work of other classmates Were about 70 of the way here for 3 he says because of one common mistake Take a look at Kaleeshas work In doing so he normalizes error and tacitly signals that he has been Tracking Not Watching intentionally observing his students work to pinpoint a specific and common error He has set himself up for a productive Show Call and Deep Excavation because he knows exactly what his students dont understand and who doesnt understand it Then Derek begins to unearth the error He proceeds with a series of questions about Kaleeshas first steps Initially he treads lightly with his Cold Calls asking students to describe the steps at the beginning of the solution that Kaleesha has completed accurately Teach Like a Champion 20 page 249 Technique 33 Cold Call After building some confidence he puts his finger on the error COS of 3 pi over 4 is the place where most of us got tripped up Someone explain how you would evaluate COS of 3 pi over 4 Notice he chooses not to hide the ball but explicitly tells students where they got tripped up In doing so he maintains the pace of his excavation and focuses his students attention on a clearly defined component of a lengthy solution As Kevin responds with a detailed explanation of his process Derek utilizes a version of Right is Right by cueing Kevin to use specific technical vocabulary When you say you do what do you mean by that he says emphasizing the word he wants Kevin to replace Teach Like a Champion 20 page 100 Technique 12 Right is RIght Even after Derek helps Kevin articulate that he means rationalizing the number Derek notes there is still something wrong with this analysis Taier is eager to declare that the answer should be yet cant explain why when he prompts her with a quick because to Check for Understanding Teach Like a Champion 20 page 37 Chapter 1 Gathering Data on Student Mastery sidebar Reliability and Validity He goes to another student who also struggles to explain before calling on Faith who discloses that in the second quadrant COS is negative Then Derek uses No Opt Out and immediately returns to Taier to provide the explanation she couldnt quite articulate a moment before And she does so beautifully In doing this Derek gives Taier a crucial opportunity to demonstrate her new found understanding publicly rehearse success and feel safe to make and correct errors in front of her peers Teach Like a Champion 20 page 99 Technique 11 No Opt Out version 20 add a star Not only does Derek boost engagement and accountability by unbundling the question Teach Like a Champion 20 page 254 he intentionally takes a Strategic Sampling of his classroom He doesnt just call on the High Flyersthose students most likely to identify and resolve the error most efficiently He maximizes the amount that all of his students learn by intentionally directing questions to his best estimation of a statistical sample in his room Calling on a crosssection of students not only allows him to engage those who tend to take a little longer in mastering content but resolves other minor knowledge gaps that he likely didnt anticipate after only observing their written error Teach Like a Champion 20 page 36 Strategic sampling Technique 2 Targeted Questioning In all Dereks work highlights the inherent synchronicity of techniques that can be used to craft a truly illuminating Check for Understanding By the way if you liked this clip of Dereks teaching theres one of him killing the No Opt Out in the new version of

will be done and the steps to completing it as well as the deliverables ie the work that will be completed and handed to the client For example when youre renovating a bathroom you dont renovate it all at once Instead you will tackle each step in the most logical order probably starting with replacing the bathtub shower and toilet and finishing up with new tiling and grout Each of these items

project to be completed with specifics on who will do what If your business will involve multiple departments you will need to coordinate to make sure the schedule is workable Price This will include the cost of labor goods and any subcontractors If there are payment milestones required or a deposit down this information should be included in the SOR price section not the schedule The schedule applies only to deliverables The pricing section should let your client know if they are paying a fixed fee or time and materials payment terms including a payment schedule and the payment terms Make

27 An Introduction to Attraction Its More Than Sexual Michael Paramo Asexuality is frequently conflated with being attracted to no one Yet what does it actually mean to be attracted to someone What are the often ignored complexities of attraction And how does asexuality open these conversations up for exploration While expressing my own identity as an asexual person in social spaces I have often encountered many nonace people who have responded to me with statements akin to So youre asexual that means youre attracted to no one right or Doesnt that mean you dont want to be with anyone Both of these questions are misinformed and can be invalidating for asexual and ace people yet endure as Much of this stems from the perception that to be attracted to someone there must be a sexual element to that attraction As an asexual attracted to men if I express to others that I am attracted to men without providing any further context the attraction will be assumed to be sexual with a swift automaticity This perception of attraction automatically being sexual has implications for both ace and nonace people especially for those who experience different or conflicting forms of attraction simultaneously How then may we as ace and nonace people alike combat these generalized perceptions of attraction As Sexual Attraction Attraction to another persons that spurs a desire to engage in sexual activity most often but not always being sexual intercourse To be sexually attracted to someone is predicated on your desire to engage in contact with them sexually or to be aroused in a manner that generates such interest This attraction may be based on physical qualities of the persons in question as well as other nonphysical aspects yet remain tied to sexual desire or a desire to sexually be in contact with that persons Romantic Attraction Attraction to another persons predicated on a desire to experience contact that may be conceptualized as romantic How romantic attraction is defined remains relatively amorphous yet clearly strays from sexual attraction and is frequently entwined with a desire to be in a romantic relationship with another persons Similar to sexual attraction one may also be heteroromantic homoromantic biromantic aromantic and more Romantic attraction does not have to be in congruence with sexual attraction which is exemplified most prominently in the asexual experience Asexual people may be both asexual and romantically attracted to anyone or no one Aesthetic Attraction Attraction based on a visual appreciation or captivation of the physical appearance or allure of another persons Aesthetic attraction may be completely disconnected from sexual attraction as it is for asexual people or romantic attraction as it is for aromantic people and instead considers the visual aesthetics of another persons It may be described in a similar manner to appreciating or being captivated by the beauty of a particularly striking natural setting You may feel as though the persons in question is simply more visually intriguing than others but not necessarily because of a sexual or romantic component attached to the attraction Sensual Attraction Attraction predicated on an inclination or passion to engage with another persons in a manner that could be described as physical or tactile as well as intersecting with any of the senses while remaining nonsexual Sensual attraction may include the desire to hug kiss cuddle hold anothers hand etc while not including the desire for sexual activity or engagement It may also include gaining gratification or being aroused by another person or persons through other sensory experiences such as smell Sensual attraction is also not necessarily intertwined with any other form of attraction whether sexual romantic aesthetic or otherwise Emotional Attraction Attraction that is predicated on personality rather than the physical appearance of another persons Emotional attraction often includes or represents the desire to be in nontactile contact with another person for the purposes of forming fostering or maintaining an emotional and personal bond with them You may feel fascinated or drawn to a persons based on their personality or aura which may result in you wanting to be around them increasingly without involving anything sexual romantic aesthetic sensual or physical in general Intellectual Attraction Attraction that involves a desire to form foster or maintain an intellectual or mental connection or engagement with another persons Intellectual attraction may involve a connection to someone mentally that is separated from the rest of their bodies It grapples with what the persons in question is thinking and potentially includes a desire to interact or engage with that persons further in intellectual or mental respects without necessarily involving any other form of attraction Most importantly what this examination has shown is that attractions do not necessarily have to be in congruence or lineup Just because someone is heterosexual this does not mean they experience heteromantic attraction or even what may be described as heteroaesthetic or heterosensual attraction etc In the same respect asexual people can be panromantic and homosensual aromantic and heteroaesthetic homoromantic and asensual Of course these varying forms of attraction

Whats the economic value of the Great Barrier Reef Its priceless June 28 2017 913pm EDT How do you value the Great Barrier Reef AAP Author Neil Perry Research Lecturer Western Sydney University Disclosure statement Neil Perry does not work for consult own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their academic appointment Partners Western Sydney University provides funding as a member of The Conversation AU View all partners Republish this article Republish our articles for free online or in print under Creative Commons license Deloitte Access Economics has valued the Great Barrier Reef at A56 billion with an economic contribution of A64 billion per year Yet this figure grossly underestimates the value of the reef as it mainly focuses on tourism and the reefs role as an Australian icon When you include aspects of the reef that the report excludes such as the ecosystem services provided by coral reefs you find that the reef is priceless Putting a price on the Great Barrier Reef buys into the notion that a costbenefit analysis is the right way to make decisions on policies and projects that may affect the reef For example the environmental cost of the extension to the Abbot Point coal terminal can be compared to any economic benefits But as the reef is both priceless and irreplaceable this is the wrong approach Instead the precautionary principle should be used to make decisions regarding the reef Policies and projects that may damage the reef can not go ahead How do you value the Great Barrier Reef The Deloitte report uses whats known as a contingent valuation approach This is a surveybased methodology and is commonly used to measure the value of nonmarket environmental assets such as endangered species and national parks as well as to calculate the impact of events such as oil spills In valuing the reef surveys were used to elicit peoples willingness to pay for it such as through a tax or levy This was found to be A6760 per person per year The report also uses the travelcost method which estimates willingness to pay for the Great Barrier Reef based on the time and money that people spend to visit it Again this is commonly used in environmental economics to value national parks and the recreational value of local lakes Of course all methods of valuing environmental assets have limitations For example it is difficult to make sure that respondents are stating realistic amounts in their willingness to pay Respondents may act strategically if they think they really will be slugged with a Great Barrier Reef levy They may conflate this environmental issue with all environmental issues But more importantly the methodology in the report leaves out the most important nonmarket value that the reef provides which are called ecosystem services For example coral reefs provide storm protection and erosion protection and they are the nurseries for 25 of all marine animals which themselves have commercial and existence value The Deloitte report even cites but does not reference a 2014 study that values the ecosystem services provided by coral reefs at US352249 per hectare per year The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park covers 35 million hectares with 2900 individual reefs of varying sizes This means the ecosystem services it provides are worth trillions of dollars per year That is it is essentially priceless The problem with putting a value on the Reef Valuing the environment at all is contentious in economics Valuation is performed so that all impacts from say a new development can be expressed in a common metric in this case dollars This allows a costbenefit analysis to be performed But putting a price on the Great Barrier Reef hides the fact that it is irreplaceable and as such its value is not commensurate with the values of other assets For instance using Deloittes figure The Australian newspaper compared the reef to the value of 12 Sydney Opera Houses But while they are both icons the Opera House can be rebuilt The Great Barrier Reef can not Any loss is irreversible When environmental assets are irreplaceable and their loss irreversible a more appropriate decisionmaking framework is the Precautionary Principle The Precautionary Principle suggests that when there is uncertainty regarding the impacts of a new development on an environmental asset decision makers should be cautious and minimise the maximum loss For example if it is even remotely possible that the extension to the Abbot Point coal terminal could lead to massive destruction of the reef then precaution suggests that it shouldnt go ahead Assigning a value to the reef might still be appropriate under the Precautionary Principle to estimate the maximum loss But it would require the pricing of all values and especially ecosystem services While the Precautionary Principle has been much maligned due to its perceived bias against development it is a key element of the definition of Ecologically Sustainable Development in Australias Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 For a priceless asset like the Great Barrier Reef it is perhaps better to leave it as priceless and to act accordingly After all if the Precautionary Principle is ever going to be used when assessing Ecologically Sustainable Development in contrast with costbenefit analysis and valuations it is surely for our main environmental icon Ultimately the protection and prioritisation of the Great Barrier Reef is a political issue that requires political will and not one that can be solved by pricing and economics Great Barrier Reef Ecosystem services Environmental economics Share Get newsletter

Social Theory in Everyday Life Tuesday March 3 2009 Conflict What can be good about it Conflict theory states that our society can not exist if peace and harmony reign In fact it goes as far as stating that conflict is necessary in order for our society and us as humans have a chance to live Although it challenges what seems to be common sense conflict is good for our society and our advancement as a species Today we are able to see conflict all over the news and even within our neighboring city Cd Juarez People for the past couple of years have seen an influx in the violent war that is happening in this Posted by H Oronoz at 502 PM 7 comments U2girl March 4 2009 at 737 PM I was at the Violence on the Border conference where Gustavo de la Rosa the attorney from Juarez spoke of corruption in the Mexican military I agree there are always bad apples in a bunch but I do not agree that the entire military is corrupt and is being used to loot and torture the population in Mexico Unfortunately I have personally witnessed this violence I lost a loved one to it on January 17 this year My husband was shot trying to protect his cousin my husband lived his cousin received one fatal shot near the back of the head He was 26 An attempted carjacking gone wrong I wont go into more detail except to say the municipal police literally moved out of the way while my husband and his cousin were screaming for help all the while being chased by two vehicles That corruption was more than obvious At the scene of the crime after the shooting the first people to arrive before any local police were the military They blocked the crime scene they gave what medical attention they could although they werent able to save Jesus my husbands cousin Nonetheless no local police showed up to interrogate the witnesses even though the chase had caused another serious accident less than a block away Perhaps this was just a coincidence and my husband and his cousin bumped into the only two corrupt cops in the city which we all know is false What is not a coincidence and I am a witness to is that the military is doing the best they can to protect innocent lives I am sure Mr De la Rosa has merit and evidence to support his conclusions but I dont think we should stereotype the entire military because of what he said However going back to the original question I do believe this conflict is resulting in change For one this sort of violence isnt giving any room for mediocre criminals you are either with the cartels or against them For those who are with them they better be serious about their loyalty their lives depend on it But I can safely say the majority of the population in Mexico is against them we all know someone or have ourselves been victims of this even if we are on the US side I think this conflict is creating change for the positive much of the population in Mexico is united against this conflict they all want the cartels out of their lives and away from their loved ones I think the negative change is what we see in the news everyday the shootings executions kidnappings homicide an unprecedented amount of violence for any Mexican city I think a good example of conflict creating change is the incident where Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus for a white person This led to the boycott of the buses a very important precursor to the Civil Rights Movement which led to the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 Another example of conflict that created change dates back to the time of the Civil War with the first Constitutional Convention that led to the creation of the Constitution Without the conflict the colonies had with England perhaps we would still be under the Queens rule The Civil War an enormous ball of conflict led to the independence of the colonies and the creation of the United States Perhaps my emotion on the subject is blinding me to reality I can admit to that but I am honest about what I saw It wasnt only in this particular incident just two days ago 5000 additional troops arrived to Ciudad Juarez for the sole purpose of protecting the population So perhaps the military does have a percentage of bad apples but tell me what bureaucracy doesnt Unfortunately Mexico cant rely on the police force anyone who has been stopped by a transito or local cop can attest to that 5 bucks can get them off your back The military Rosie March 9 2009 at 1233 PM What is occurring in our neighboring city of Cd Juarez is very unfortunate and hits very close to home with us here in El Paso I dont have family there nor have I first handedly encountered any personal traumatic experiences I was very touched by u2girls story and my condolences to her family My dad does travel to Chihuahua about once every two months on his own to help finish the home that he and my mother hope to retire in once I graduate The violence always terrifies me when I hear another tragic story but I hold faith that Part of my assurance is the people of that great city Although it may seem that they are being defeated most of the people in the city of Juarez are standing up and are doing whatever it takes to lead a normal life and defend their beloved city I recently saw a story that was featured on CNN where the mayor of Rosarito a neighboring town to Tijuana has not seen any violent acts involving the cartel since the beginning of the year Also spring break seems to be promising and safe for many tourists planning to spend their vacations in Mexico Although it is not safe to say the same here in Cd Juarez I have faith that the military the citizens of Cd Juarez and hopefully the majority of the police force will help end these tragic wars I feel that the people of Cd Juarez can defiantly see the good in this conflict now They realized that evil is trying to take over them and they will not let that happen I love seeing stories of citizens uniting and forcing groups within their communities in effort to stop the violence I feel that this will defiantly be a lasting communion As I have stated it is unfortunate but the world needs to see how Mexicos tight bond with religion and faith will help this country prevail and win this war against drugs A conflict through which change was created would be the war that us Americans are involved in right now I like this example because there have been good changes and bad changes We have seen the fall of Saddam Hussein as well as the rise of a new democracy for their government and people of Iraq Yet we have seen all the wrongs that we did throughout the years of the war and the affect it has ad here at home and on our soldiers karliux March 9 2009 at 110 PM I do believe that conflict is good for change talking about Cd Juarez I think that all of that violence that is happening there is good and it is the consequence of not having any conflict at all I believe that it is the result of the past governments compliance with the drug cartels They had threatened them and they would also give them money so it was easier to just comply and go with the flow not caring about the many people that was being harmed by all of those drug cartels Now I believe that the government is Moreover this conflict has cost the society many lives and it is also costing the reputation of Mexico and therefore it is affecting tourism and the economy of the country This conflict may have a really bad side but at the end I really hope that it brings something good to the city where I was born Furthermore I can think about another conflict like that similar to Juarez in Colombia actually the president that dealt at that time with the conflict and I can not remember when that was came to Juarez to give a conference about the similar utepminer March 10 2009 at 236 PM As far as violence goes in our neighboring city I think good can come out of this conflict Change is going to happen good or bad however whether it is good or bad will ultimately lie in who comes out with the power Mexico can come out with a country whose social services and structures have been overhauled to produce a stronger democracy or it can come out with a country whose social structures have failed and produced a failed democracy and possibly a dictatorship or something equivalent We also have to keep in mind the different conflicts occurring in Anonymous March 10 2009 at 724 PM According to Coser the functions of external violent conflict include strengthening group boundaries and increasing solidarity It is possible drug groups may become more unified in combating the authorities subsequently intensifying bloodshed However for all the unity violent conflict may engender prolonged violence becomes dysfunctional As Merton states society can not assume all functions are functional What is more according to Dahrendorf conflict diminishes as resources are spent If the resources of drug groups diminish Cd Juarez may begin to recover and possibly attain law and order however if the resources of the city diminish the violence may continue and karidoodles March 13 2009 at 547 PM I think everyone can agree that what is going on in Juarez is very unfortumate but I also believe that some kind of change whether it is good or bad change can come out of this conflict Obviously we hope that good change comes out of the situation however it is very possible that bad change can occur as well I belive conflict theory is correct in saying that if peace and harmony reign society is not possible However we have to redefine that definition

How to tell the difference between real and fake news News outlets have been fighting a losing battle for some time The internet changed the way we consume media for good and traditional publishers are still struggling to find a way to monitise their businesses Paywalls have had little success And rather than pay for information people instinctively seek out answers on free platforms This has given rise to satirical and sensationalist mastheads generating traffic with controversy or humour never letting the facts get in the way of a good story For the first time fake news could have had a significant outcome in the 2016 American election and could have a significant impact on global politics In fact analysis by Buzzfeeds Craig Silverman shows that fake news articles outperformed real news on Facebook in the final month leading up to Americas election day The networks algorithm amplifies trending news whether its real or fake and has no journalistic discretion Facebook has since admitted that it needs to do more to combat false information but there is little indication of how or when this might occur Reading between the lines Dr Kristy Hess Senior Lecturer in Communication at Deakin University has researched the relationship between Facebook and news media and says Facebook is not held to account the same way that mainstream media is when it comes to upholding and sharing accurate reliable information The challenge for readers is to interrogate what theyre reading rather than simply believing anything that aligns with their values It is unfair to place all blame on social networks though Bias creeps into even the most respected mainstream news outlets This is going to be an increasingly important point of distinction for journalism as we move further into the 21 st century Its not just about issues of trust and reliability its about legitimacy Dr Hess points out and adds that individuals can work to develop their own news consumption and analysis skills so that theyre better equipped to make fair assessments of the information theyre provided with We often develop opinions based on where we stand in the world our background and life experiences We must try as a society to listen to alternative views and be openminded when forming opinions Dr Hess suggests We often develop opinions based on where we stand in the world our background and life experiences We must try as a society to listen to alternative views and be openminded when forming opinions Dr Kristy Hess Senior Lecturer in Communication Deakin University Checking the source According to Dr Hess the rise of fake news only reaffirms the future of reliable journalism She argues that the next generation of journalists will be the beacons of accurate reliable information This is how they will be able to maintain legitimacy in the digital age she explains Increasingly as readers become aware of the proliferation of fake news they will increasingly seek to verify the facts which is why traditional media outlets with a strong reputation are not yet done for However she adds that Facebook sets a good example in terms of distribution of news and audience engagement Journalists can learn much from the Facebook model of using their position to help connect people and to help readers make sense of issues or guide them in times of crisis Dr Hess says Facebook has argued that it is the channel that people access rather than the news creator which is why it distances itself from any ethical responsibility Dr Hess believes many news outlets that drive their audiences to consume news content on Facebook need to rethink their approach if they want to remain economically viable and build loyal audiences They should be using Facebook purely as a promotional tool and trying their best to direct online traffic back to their own websites to build advertising she concludes Interested in becoming a journalist Consider Deakin Universitys range of journalism and communications degrees this featured experts Dr Kristy Hess Senior Lecturer in Communication Deakin University Read profile
