american vs canadian coverage

I believe that during the trials no recording should be let out to the press as they could put their own spin on the footage that is shown, like how Nancy Grace turned a look between and lawyer and his client into the possibility of  a sexual relationship with no evidence to support her allegations. Media presents information in a way to make you feel a certain way about the case. Although I don't believe that media should be allowed to record in the courtroom, I do believe that there should be a camera guy in the courtroom so people can see what happened in the trial but only after the trial is done. Media is so influential that the people reporting on the cases should remain neutral to allow the audience to form there own opinion. I believe that when the cases are still on trial none of the information should be release as it can mess with the investigation. Then once again after the trial is over then all of the information can be released. The  person being put on trial and the charges but not much else as it can begin to cause problems for the families and friend of the accused.

Is school dangerous

-
I believe that in today's society one of the most dangerous places is school because its a lot of people in one small space. Having that many people in a small area problems, arguments and fights are going to occur between the students and the staff. In school there are many different crimes that happen daily like substance abuse, theft ,bullying and assault. And others that could happen, but are very unlikely, like school shootings. Although school seems like the most dangerous place you can be, the place that tops all others is technology. Social media in particular is responsible for cyber bullying, the sharing of files, identity theft, and many more.

Media Consumption

-
There was almost a two hour difference between my guess and the actual amount of time consuming media. Although recording your usage of media for only one day isn't a very good way of tracking your daily media usage as different things affect the amount of time you spend on your phone reading/writing notes or watching videos. I was writing and more notes that day because of school and was on my phone and on Netflix more because I was just at home with my sister. I will at times put on Netflix as background noise when I'm on my phone so the house isn't quiet that increased my time by an hour. I also listen to music well doing chores or homework or when going through Instagram. I mostly am on Snapchat, Instagram and Netflix. The odd time I will go in Facebook to check my work schedule. I have one day a week where it is a no phone day it is usually a Sunday sometimes it's on a Saturday. My estimate was 10 hours. The actual amount consumed was 11hrs 54mins.
