Honestly, I do not really care what is going on in today’s society. I know it is important, and I do read news online, but really, I do not care. Only reason I get news is that I think I have to know it anyway in order to communicate with others, and share new ideas to make myself a better thinker. I know this does not really make sense, but that is really what I think.

When i went to high school, the best way to get news was on the way to school every morning, because my uncle loves to hear news, especially sports news, from radio on the way to work. On radio, I could hear lots of news about sports, accidents, or any issues happened the day before, and we could develop discussion based off one topic we just heard. In that way, I could learn more than I thought inside my brain and became more understanding.

Now, I do not ride his car anymore so there is less time I hear from radio; rather, I get news lots from people. I work at the front desk of Driscoll Information Center, therefore, there are many chance that I hear various things from people who just walk by or work together. It is true that I can get just a few segments of news they share, but there are more chance to get much more diverse news about small concert of local band to social justice issues in the Middle East. And if I am interested in the topic I hear by, then I can simply search online. I also read news online from New York Times, or Wall Street Journal. I started to read them only because of class discussion, but it became more habitual reading recently that I go to the websites, and read some top news on my free time, so that I am more aware of what is going on in this world. But it is still kind of hard to follow up with news that I am not that interested, and often times I need longer time to figure out what is really going on for those kinds of topics.
