About Me

My name is Grace Obletz I am from Buffalo, New York. I am a sophomore here at hpu, majoring in Strat Com. and still working on finding a minor. On campus, I am a member of Kappa Delta and On Point Magazine. Both of which allow a creative and fun outlet outside of my academics.

Post Grad, I am not too sure what I would like to do. I hope to move to Boston and find a job that is fun and modern- not a typical 9-5 type of job. My passions include fashion, entertainment, social media and beauty/health, so hopefully with those interests I can find a job that I am passionate about.

EOTO pt. 2

While watching and listening to the other groups I learned many things. However, one topic I found particularly interesting was from group 1- the topic of an Echo Chamber. Before the presentation, I did know the term 'echo chamber', but I was familiar with the definition. The group member defined an echo chamber as a situation/group in which beliefs are amplified and reenforced in groups or organizations. Within these groups people share a common viewpoint and do not contradict each other but rather support and encourage. While presenting, the group pointed out that echo chambers can be very negative because they are sheltering and lead to polarization and bias opinions. I would for sure agree with this because when you don't allow yourself to be exposed to other ideas and thoughts, you are limiting yourself and your awareness for others. I think we live in such a diverse society with many different religions and cultures, and because of that, it is important to respe...

Privacy Online and Off

'online life, permanent as a tattoo': I thought this Ted Talk was a very spot on simile for impacts on the internet. A lot of people think things just disappear, or people are not watching us. However, that is not the case in the digital world, things are permanent and there forever. I  was also very shocked to learn about websites like face.com and the facial profiling that is done based off of our social media. It is frightening to think that an innocent photo someone tags you in can result in your face being tracked and basically stalked by these websites to gather info about you. 'small details police track about us': License plate tracking can be a very useful tool. You see it being used to track down cars that have kidnapped children, carrying criminals, etc. Because of this technology, many good things have come from it and it has been able to save people and make the world safer. However, I do not think the police/authority should have the right to use our...

The Progressive Era -Substance due Process

I think the Progressive Era was a helpful time for the U.S- establishing new acts and further protecting our constitutional rights. For example, a change that particularly should be noted is the change of Substance Due Process. This is the process by which the court "adds substance to the word liberty in the due process clause - including how one wants to run business and create new rights based on this" (Smith lecture 9/19). I think this a useful act to have because it supports our country's amendments and allows citizens to have more freedom and rights when operating businesses and practicing the 1st amendment. However, I think that this term is also somewhat of a grey area. Because it allows more freedom for people, some may take it too far and act out in hate, violence, etc. because they believe they are protected. One example of this would be people making threats to our country or threats to a certain race/ religious group. Because we live in such a violent world,...
