Is Mass Media Giving Support to the Recession?

It is scaring to listen or read the News regarding the recession we are just living. The News are doubling the consequences of the recession. Although they keep us informed what is going on, they are making to lose our confidence in spending, which is one the main factors that leads us to the recession.
For a perfect economy we should increase the spending, and the economy would out of recession. What it has been happening as stated before, our confidence on spending has been lost, and small Texans businesses have started to shut down, even big stores. As workers get laid off or have their wages cut, household income decline. Thus, reduction in investment spending implies a reduction in household incomes. The way to get recession out is get someone to spend more on goods and services.
I think News should "hide" a little bit of the recession we are living and restore step by step our confidence.

Comment on Mike's blog

I will make a comment about my colleague Mike’s blog. He brought an interesting issue regarding the abuse of power some school districts are applying over student’s freedom of expression. He found out that some Texas school districts are prohibiting students the use of jackets with hoods on them because it obstruct security camera to view student’s face.

Mike is claiming that it is absurd. He supports his claim stating that because of this banning, students will be on alert in their “second home” or/and uncomfortable. Also, he states that schools should not focus on what students wear, but what is their brain since schools have been dropping the rate of students’ success.

I support his claim on respecting the student’s freedom. On the other hand, I believe that students shouldn’t wear fashionable clothing; instead, schools should make mandatory the uniform. That way, students will learn to be disciplined from his base education and will promote equality, so students can focus on school tasks.
