Legal Communication

After looking through the provided texts, I have come to open my eyes to truley how many frauds and scams are on the internet. I was always aware they were there, but never really thought about or looked into it. I would get those emails saying "You Have just Won," and while I would normally delete it, there are always those times I think what if I really did! I have really opened my eyes to how easy it is to be sucked into Internet fraud. While looking at the Nigerian fraud I realized how easily it is to fall into one of these scams. This was a good example of how one can seem sympathetic to your readers through the internet. Another website which shocked me was the IFCC, International Fraud Complaint Center. This website informed readers of how much money was actually reported lost because of these frauds. I was amazed at the statistics. There was an astonishing $17.8 Million dollars at a loss because of internet scams. Internet scams are everywhere and seem like they are too large to contain!

Political Communication

Political communication is brought to the citizens every day through the media. Now a days there are so many different means of communication that we are able to get this information through the television, the internet, newspapers, magazines, etc. Getting Politics through the internet has its advantages and disadvantages. Information on the internet is constantly being updated and posted. That has its advantages because we are able to receive the news almost as quick as it occurred. It also has its disadvantages because there leaves great room for error. Where the newspaper has to wait until the following morning to print out the news, and television is edited, the internet is raw coverage news. What I enjoy about news on the internet versus television is that as I was reading the web links, I was able to read many peoples opinion about the subject. Television is very subjective and we only get one view. CMC is updated every hour and allows for many different views to be seen. CMC is an excellent way to view political communication.
