Psychology is a better subject for me to talk about as opposed to journalism. I am glad that this blogging experience allows me to share my psychological knowledge with others. Here is an excerpt from class discussing the importance of following the ethics code of conduct.

Components of moral behavior:
1. Moral sensitivity-recognizing a situation
2. Moral reasoning- thinking about the principles or codes
3. Moral decision making-choosing to act morally
Ex: anxiety in a marriage, working with husband to fix wife…
ethics : based on professional values, psychology values emotional well being, professional codes of ethics try to incorporate these three components. Codes were developed as a result of practice and often mistakes made in practices.

Thus starts the football season once again and what do the Pittsburgh Steelers have to offer. They started off strong with a won in their opening game, but what the hell happened last week against Kansas City. I wish I knew. Are the Steelers going to win it all this year? According to fans "It's the year!" meaning that once again the Steelers have a shot at winning the AFC championship. I think I have been hearing that since the Steelers won last time.
The Steelers have the best of the best fans according to myself. My brother and I go to every playoff game simply to enjoy the game, but also to checkout what good old "STILLER" fans have to offer. I personally drove to the stadium in a black and gold spray painted, superbowl music blasting, christmas light blinking, plastic figurines showcased, tacky looking delivery truck. So what do you have to say about my home town players...
Uzopia
The web log I chose was called Uzopia. It was made, created, and run by one Caucasian male and a few of his friends. The site gives no formal and/or hard news. The gentlemen start their site off with a daily log, in which they have chosen one news article from that day which interests them. This piece of news was copied and pasted to their log and then documented simply by placing the link, in which they basically stole the news from, at the bottom of the page. There were articles in different languages, articles from children, etc. The page ended by showing numerous pictures of the creator of the web log and his friends who helped him create.
This was a well-designed site, but as far as getting news from it…I would rather look elsewhere. The Internet provides us with many easier and more accurate means of communicating news.
