About Me

Hi, my name is Jack Neary!

I am currently a freshman at High Point University majoring in Sports Media. I was born and raised in Shelton, Connecticut. When I am not in school studying and doing work for my classes you can find me outside playing a sport, inside watching sports or just hanging out with friends. After college I definitely want to work somewhere in the sports industry preferably as a professional sports broadcaster.

The Progressive Era Blog #4

 Links:  https://www.antiwar.com/  &  https://www.theamericanconservative.com/web-categories/realism-restraint/      This was my first time ever exploring as well as hearing about the two websites   ANTIWAR.COM and American Conservative . I believe that one of the many reasons why I have never heard about these websites ever before is due to the graphic stories and news that are displayed on their websites. Another reason why I have never in my entire life heard about sites like these is because they oppose the unchecked powers of our government and business. I think that the writers on these sites who all have strong antiwar views are NEVER talked about in mainstream news because they talk about bad/corrupt events that happen within our government and around the world. It seems to me that the mainstream news does not want to talk about these people/sites because they do not want to talk about events or news that make our country look bad whe...

Facebook Frontline Documentary

  https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/facebook-dilemma/   I was very intrigued by the PBS frontline documentary “The Facebook Dilemma” because they talked about the history as well as the controversy of Facebook. Also, I learned a lot of new things from watching this documentary about facebook that I did not know. One new thing which I learned from the documentary, was that college students were the only intended users of Facebook from the start. Another thing that was entirely new to me was Facebook's early motto which was “move fast and break things” which I now think is pretty ironic considering all of the controversy that has been associated with facebook. I found it very interesting that Mark Zuckerberg's main drive behind the creation of Facebook was that he wanted to be able to connect the entire world together which he succeeded in doing albeit with a lot of controversy along the way. The events that happened in Cairo, Egypt in 2011, were the first time where peopl...

The Founding Era & the Idea of America

 Link:  https://www.history.com/topics/us-government/supreme-court-facts      After watching the video, I learned that since its very first session on February 1st, 1970 more than 100 justices have served on the U.S. supreme court with each serving an average of 16 years. While I knew that justices are appointed for life, I did not know that the constitution does not state this explicitly, instead stating that justices “shall hold their offices during good behavior”. I was surprised that throughout the history of the supreme court only Samuel Chase in 1805 was the only justice to ever get impeached. While I know that once a justice dies or retires from their position that the President of the United States has the power to nominate a person to replace them with, it surprised me to learn while watching the video that the constitution does not specify any qualifications for the nominee as well as they have to submit a detailed questionnaire. Another thing that I l...
