Chris Kyle

This is for my class called Journalism. This is the second unit called Sound. For our AP, we had to interview two people about someone who is inspirational to us. We had to record it so it will be like a podcast. The person who is inspirational to me is Chris Kyle. The thing I had trouble with was editing the recording. I overcame that by taking my time and being careful. What I loved about this project was learning more about Chris Kyle.

This blog is an introduction to a podcast where an interviewer and two interviewees discuss how Chris Kyle, the noted Navy Seal, inspired their lives. Kyle became an American hero in the Iraq War. His sniper skills saved countless American lives. Later he became a hero at home by helping physically disabled and PTSD vets regain as much of a normal life as possible. The impact that Kyle had was the direct result of wanting to help others before he helped himself. For many Kyle represents the American ideal—sacrifice, dedication, and teamwork. He did that as a Navy Seal by putting himself at extreme risk to make sure his fellow sailors and Marines were protected from armed militants, snipers and others trying to kill them. Once he resigned from the Seals, he found his new mission by helping those disabled during the conflict. The interviewees are two typical Americans who know some facts about Kyle. They and the interviewer discuss what Kyle meant to them, why they look up to him, and why he is an American hero. The intended audience for this podcast will be those who appreciate the sacrifices that American servicemen make for their country, those who want to learn a little bit more about the man himself, and perhaps those who are just curious about what makes a man like Chris Kyle tick. The point of this podcast is to inspire comments from listeners who want to share their thoughts and observations about the Kyle and what he stood for.

What is truth?

This is my first action project for, Who Am I. In this course we will be studying about who we are, and the truth. In order to complete this project, I had to studied philosophers and what they think is truth. For this Action Project we had to make a podcast about a topic we choose, our definition go truth and our beliefs. The thing that I am most proud of was making the podcast and how it finished. Something that was hard for me was recording the podcast and writing the script. Please learn more about the podcast and you can hear it down below.
                                                                                                                                                                 

Is there such thing as truth?

I did an interview with my dad. His definition of truth is that, yes, genes are a key part in making us who we are, but nurture also plays an important part too. This connects to the whole thing by have another idea of what truth is.

I was in 7th grade, I was in science class and a question popped up in class which is true nature or nurture for genes. At the end of class and for a week I was really thinking about this question a lot every time I had time I was thinking about. Finally I came up with an answer to say to my teacher. The answer is that nature (gene) made who we are today.

I believe that nature makes us who we are. Not only that, but how we act. I believe in this because each of us have many genes in common but each also some unique genes that are ours alone that no one has. Even identical twins has a different gene than each other.

I have not really thought about in for a while. I thought about it for a in 7th grade. In 8th I did not think about it at all since we were doing a different type of science (chemistry). In 9th I thought about it for a little in the beginning of the year I did not really. Towards the middle of the year I thought about it a lot more.

Now you will hear an interview I did my my dad.

The 2 min interview

1.The issue I did was nature vs. nurture I think that it makes who you are today.

2. I interview my father. His position is that our gene makes up who we are and what we do, but also nurture is important in who we are.

3. He believes what he said because we have genes and it makes up what we will be and do in our life.

4. The interview did not influence in my position at all. It stayed the same.It influence my idea of truth by changing it by everyone has their own definition of truth.

5. But no one will have to same definition of truth. It changes my definition of truth to something that it really different than was.

For me truth is a small tennis ball in a big pile of tennis balls of lies. We won’t really know the truth, so there is not really a definition of the word truth in my words.
