Christine Yang's ENG2100

For my second project i want to pursue the idea of Obama underestimating ISIS. Although I am still unsure of this topic I want to pursue this idea of ISIS being an threat to the government because I find this topic a little bit interesting and I like the idea of how the government reacts to difficult situations. In this situation with ISIS I find that the government acts and gives speeches to the press and the press quotes what they find desirable. This is one aspect that I want to see and pay attention to is the way the press like CBS or CNN uses the information to show what they want their audience to see. In other words they are manipulating the audience using facts. I believe I am going to do this project because it interests me but I am still unsure if this is something I will like to focus on for the entire project. I am unsure of this topic because I believe that politics is a harder and much more difficult understand. So to summarize this all up my topic is on  the ISIS situation, but I may still change the topic, and I know that to do this project I must be able to analyze the meaning of what the press is trying to tell their audience.
