Blog Post #2 (takeaways from videos)

                            New Info & Facts I Learned While Watching Supreme Court Videos


The assigned videos provided lots of new information regarding the historical development of the US Supreme Court. I learned more about the court's founding, its crucial role in American history, and the important individuals who influenced its growth due to these videos. I'll go into detail about some of the less popular but equally intriguing aspects of the Founding Era Timeline in this blog post. I will discuss how these historical events shaped my knowledge of the Supreme Court's founding and continuing influence on the legal system in the United States.


  1. 1783 Treaty Of Paris 


The American Revolutionary War was put to an end and American independence was acknowledged by the Treaty of Paris in 1783. It was signed on September 3, 1783, and it gave Newfoundland fishing rights as well as borders with the Mississippi River. A major turning point in American history, the treaty also addressed debt repayment and the treatment of British loyalists. I studied the Treaty of Paris, but I didn't really understand its significance until now. Looking back, though, I see how important it was in creating the United States. 



  1. The Continental Congress in Philadelphia


During the American Revolution, the Continental Congress in Philadelphia was an important gathering. Delegates from the thirteen colonies came together for the first time in 1774 to coordinate a response to British policies and to assert colonial rights. The Continental Congress accomplished many important things, including organizing the Continental Army under George Washington, drafting the new constitution, overseeing the war effort, and promoting international diplomacy. I recognize the important place in American history. It was more than simply a set of talks; rather, it was a revolutionary process that created a new country and showed the strength of cooperation. 


  1. Thomas Jefferson Elected President (1800)


In the critical and revolutionary 1800 presidential election, Thomas Jefferson emerged as the third President of the United States. The election of Jefferson was significant for a number of reasons. It established an example for the peaceful transfer of power, which is an essential component of American democracy. It is clear that this was an event that determined the course of the nation and reinforced the tenacity and resiliency of its democratic institutions rather than just a change in leadership.

The Progressive Era

The fact that there are powerful anti war voices in alternative media such as Antiwar.com and The American Conservative but few in mainstream media emphasizes significant dynamics in American politics and media. The mainstream media, which is primarily owned by a small number of corporate groups, frequently supports establishment opinions that call for military interventions. Economic considerations, such as advertising revenue and access to official sources, have an impact on this alignment. These factors influence the editorial choices and give priority to stories that defend military operations on the basis of humanitarianism or national security. Conversely, alternative media outlets give those with views that are critical of US foreign policy a voice. Websites such as The American Conservative and Antiwar.com provide unbiased viewpoints that examine the financial and human costs of war, cast doubt on the effectiveness of military solutions, and support peaceful responses to intern...

Seeing how quickly AI is developing was one of the most shocking things said in the video on AI. Nowadays, AI is capable of more than just completing jobs; it can also make difficult decisions and even be creative. This quick progress stimulates wonder as well as concern. On the one hand, artificial intelligence has enormous potential to address critical global problems However, the moral implications of AI having such power are unsettling. The idea of AI exceeding human intelligence frightened me the most. The potential situation where AI may endlessly improve itself and cause an uncontrollably high level of intelligence was covered in the video. It is disturbing to consider that we might no longer be the most intelligent species on Earth.
