This article is about taking Freedom of expression too far, and condoning the exercising freedom of expression in positive ways, rather than humiliation of entire community of muslims or any people.

A danish newspaper printed a cartoon using the Prophet Muhammad in caricature, which offended the Muslim countries...

The rest can be found here...

Decide for yourself what the limitations of Freedom of Expression in the abstract word of Democracy is...

Not much of an article, but brings around familiar terms from Oral Communications class.

And for not much of an article, not much of an article review.

Interestingly enough, I only read it because it said "I like to watch"

Hopefully I'm not a terrible human being for that.

This is an article pertaining what I believe to be the definition of Interpersonal Trust. It's about a man who's wife went on a business trip to atlantic city and stayed out all night with a group of her friends with Army escorts and he's concerned about it.

This has lead the man to believe that his wife has done something that would harm his interests unintentionally.

This is an article I read about the relationship of a man and woman at home and work.

Which gives some insight I guess, to certain people's definition of IC.

Probably not mine.

The article's about a man who stays late at work to be promoted all while simply competing with his wife who makes more money than he does. Meanwhile, his wife needs to tell him she values his help at home with their family, but doesn't say anything.

Which is to do with both of my previous entries.

Interpersonal Communication, or believing that a relationship between friends and family and a man you just start talking to in a grocery store is different.

Agreed. I don't feel safe enough to tell someone stranger than my friends or family certain things that aren't even personal. I think people's personalities change around certain people, as well. Where as a girl who is usually loud and obnoxious, would be extremely calm, and polite in front of someone who was important.

The way I am at home or with friends, far contrasts my attitude and behavior in class.

Honesty, interestingly enough is what my entire class put as the number one value on one of our group collaboration assignments.

I disagreed with it, but didn't say anything, which leads me to my point.

I wonder what planet they live on, and what people they know. I've never seen people with genuine value in honesty. Whether it's white lies, or total untruths, it's a daily occurence for every human being on the face of the earth. Spouses lie to eachother, who lie to their children, who lie to their friends, who in turn lie to teachers. Potential lovers, lie about their ages. Lawyers have made careers in manipulating what they see as the truth. The government even calls America a "free"country, when you have to pay for everything, and it's mandatory that you liscense your cars similar things.

Even myself, in saying I was okay with what they delivered as my most important value, was being dishonest.

I guess, I'd just like to hear, from them, Honesty defined.

Here's an article asking the controversial question "Will an office romance make you more successful?" A terrible headline really, because you come to read it's "Platonic" and the romantics already have spouses. I'm actually unclear to where they'd intended to take this story. (Let alone, why it was written)

I thought it was going to be more about the abstract idea of "love". Aw.

Take a read at it.

I'm sure it'll change your life.
