My group chose to base our NY Times project on the overhaul of established systems because it is something that we frequently see in many aspects of today’s society, whether it is in politics, food, or technology. Some of our articles covered local and national news about a change in ownership at a popular restaurant and the recent government shutdown, while others went international by talking about an update in an attempt to overturn the Syrian government and a shift in power at an APEC meeting due to Obama’s absence. My article was about the new iOS 7 and its drastic change in design. It focused on the overhaul of the old look that Apple had kept for so long for one that is more practical and minimalistic. We tried to incorporate as many aspects into our project as we could to show the reader a wide range of articles.
Our bearcat article was about President Obama’s new education plan that will affect Baruch greatly as it could possibly result in more financial aid for our college. This will benefit the many students that are already attending Baruch and provide more low-income students with a higher education. Being college students in a city that is so diverse and politically involved, Baruch students are all affected by the change that is happening around us. It is hard not to get involved in these issues in one way or another. Some people might be directly affected or have friends that are, while others might have just heard about it on the news or around campus. No matter what the change is, big or small, students at Baruch know to come together when the time is right.
