The Presidential Results

Part One

          This presidential election wasn't very surprising to me, and neither was it very important.  To me, each presidential nominee had good and bad views, and whichever view of theirs was bad, the other had a good one on the same topic.  This whole presidential election leaves me indifferent to who won, awkwardly.  I do hope that Barack Obama can break us out of this economic crisis that we are in, and take us out of the Middle East without making everyone more angry at us than they really are.  My concerns are that somethings gonna go wrong (again) and this country will start going downhill even more, such as some other Middle Eastern country, or any other country for that matter, joining our conflict, or the stock market crashing even further (which will be terribly unlikely), or even having our oil sources cut off, leaving us to struggle for a new energy source for the entire country.

Part Two

          I feel as if I have a high level of civil knowlege.  Almost all I watch on television is the news, leaving me with quite a nice repository of recent events in my mind.  One of the things that I feel my Humanities class has done to help with the class as a whole with their civil knowlege, is this here blog.  The entire blogging project is civil knowlege based.  It is almost all about current events.  I feel as if it was a great idea to aid us as students with ways to learn about current events.  A way I feel like we could be better with the understanding with current events would be to nto have a journal every morning, and instead, have a discussion on the blog we did the night before, or discuss a specific current event that happened the day before.  Because of my great repository of current events mentioned earlier, I have felt very confident in my conversations with others on topics relating to current events.  I also have been a little frustrated with some peoples ignorance of current events, and others inability to understand anything but their opinion, but I also feel as if I can also be quite stubborn with learning others opinions over mine, and it seems like it is just human nature to be a little unwilling to accept others opinions.
