Introduction

 Hello everyone,

My name is Victor Chavez and I am History Major at NDNU. I have lived in the Bay Area for about 27 years now, and I love the environment, that this area has provided for me.  Tough with the pandemic going around right now, it has limited what kind of activities I can do outdoors. Which at times can be frustrating, and difficult to adapt too this change in regulations. This summer was especially difficult, as me and my friends planned several things to do over the summer, that had to be cancelled or changed. 

I have always had an interest in history, as it is one of my favorite subjects to study and learn more about. Over the summer, I had to take a variety of classes to meet my graduation plan for NDNU, in taking those classes I found physical geography and philosophy helpful in my understanding of history. I am looking forward to this class, as I am planning on attending graduate school, this class will help me be successful there.

Research Topic

 As of right now my research topic will have a focus on the media, like, I stated earlier in my conversation with my friend. I want to understand how the media operates in the 21 st century, and why it has changed over the last couple of years, where they decide to sensationalize the news, and not properly fact check their sources. Media, nowadays, worries more about ratings than actual journalism; my goal is to understand that shift in thinking. Though, I think that I have to define what I mean when I say the "media", as their are multiple types of media that we as a culture consume on a daily basis. I want my focus on the media to be about... looking at major news stations like CNN and Fox(will add more news stations).
