 Since only half of us attended school Mr.Paterson's class progressed with 10students. I think we can have a more satisfying class with few people. Today we also had a class about biased things and Israel and Palestine. We watched some shocking videos which are happening right now in Palestine, on Twitter. A large building was bombed by Israel with attention only one hour before the attack. Hospitals and orphanages were bombed too. I believe in these places there are people who don't have any military connections with Israel so I was  shocking a lot to know the fact that people who are doing nothing are attacked. I didn't know that those things were happening now and I think this is not only because I didn't have attention to these problems but the media informing is influencing too. Watching and knowing the present circumstance was shocking but I also wondered the videos which I watched in this class are the truth. Since Mr.Paterson showed us they are believable videos...

 The class started with Mr.Paterson saying only Saitama people can go into the class. I didn't know what was happening at that time. Next, was people who showed an ID card. I had my ID card in my locker so I couldn't get into the class. Finally, all of us could get into the room but we couldn't sit down or we couldn't use chairs and desks. Only Saitama people were able to sit and use desks. Mr.Paterson told us this is what is happening in Israel and Palestine now.

Also before this class, I learned a lot about how media is controlling information to tell information good for themselves but I thought if we try to do we can see what is happening in reality in perspective with no bias.  After listening to these talks half of the class listened how...

 We learned about how a county use media to control the people and how the media implant bias in the people. BBC news used terms that support Israel and for Palestine, they used words in bad images. I was surprised after watching this news from a critical perspective. In usual situation we do not try to watch news in this way because almost all of us think that TV news is telling the "truth" and actually they are telling the "truth" but, I could recognize that the way they are informing is not perfect all the time. This time, the news was about "Israel's attack on Palestine." and since the UK support Israel, BBC informed this showing how Palestine attacked Israel before with the word "retaliatory attack" of Israel. BBC informed truth news but actually, before the Palestine attack there were illegal and unfair trouble by Israel in Palestine and the attack by Palestine was a "retaliatory attack" on Israel. It means that BBC or the UK ...
