The hacking scandal

The former chief executive of then news international Rebekah Brooks has been fired and been given 3 million dollars to maybe keep quiet about the phone hacking scandal  but she probably won't considering she got arrested. Brooks the 43 year old CEO was arrested at noon Sunday. She is suspicious the eyes of the government because of her former job. Rupert Murdoch and his son James Murdoch have accepted to answer questions about the phone hacking scandal. Brooks, one of Rupert Murdoch's best workers said that she has nothing to do with the hacking, right now up to 3700 people have been known to have been hacked.

The rise and fall of Rupert Murdoch

The ever so powerful Rupert Murdoch is getting his power drained from him.
A company he owns has hacked a lot of people, celebrities and they even have the guts to hack the royal family. One of the families they hacked was the Soham family who just lost two daughters, they hacked their phones just to get their last words to see what happened before their deaths and this shocked the whole of the U.K. because the family just lost two daughters, if that's not bad enough Rupert Murdoch's company hacked their daughters phone's and stole their dying words(with voice mail).
Theirs three things people in this world want POWER, MONEY, SEX and right now Rupert Murdoch has all of them because he has around 1-20 billion dollars and can get a wife or a hooker any time he wants but the thing he has the most is power because he owns so much companies like 'The Sun' and 'The Times' and '20th century fox', with these newspapers on his side  he is aloud to say anything he wants and the government can't stop what he says because the media is more powerful than the government. 
The hacking scandal has hacked all the phones of the people who died in the 9/11 incident. The very powerful Rupert Murdoch and his son James have accepted to answer M.P's questions about the hacking and in the mean time Rupert Murdoch is desperately struggling to keep his power. Rupert Murdoch might sell all of his newspapers. Right now Rupert Murdoch has lost 7 billion in just 4 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is research

Research is finding out information about something or someone a person is interested in or is looking for.
One research method that could be used are using the Internet e.g. Google, Wikipedia.A person could use the internet to get some 
information about a subject.
Another research method that could be used is an Investigation. Investigations are mostly used to solve a crime and sometimes even mysteries.
Another research method that is used a lot is books. If people wanted to learn about history and Shakespeare they could look at books about him in a library.
Primary research:Is when a person finds something out about someone or something firsthand.
Secondary research:Is when a person searches up something about someone and gathers information secondhand,(not finding it out for himself)e.g. using the internet and using books. 
Quantitative research: It is finding out numerical data like date of birth of someone or the date a certain event happened or the age a
certain person died at.
Qualitative research: It is finding out information about word data. E.g. looking at paragraphs about a certain persons life or information about a book.
Wikipedia is a qualitative, secondary and qualitative because it gives out information about a certain subjects data. E.g. if it's about a famous person it would give that person's date of birth, life story and maybe day that person died.

My review of the 'Slumdog Millionaire'

The movie is about three people who live in a poor area in India. The characters names are Jamal, Salim(big brother of Jamal)and Latika (Jamal's love). The movie starts off with when Jamal is an adult and is getting tortured by the police. He has a flashback to when he was just a child, he and his friends were playing cricket when a plane flew over them. Then some guards chased the kids into town when Jamal and Salim run into the local gangster who forgives their behaviour.  They keep on running until they go into an alleyway where they see there mother at the end and stop running. They go home with their mom and then the scene stops, the next scene is about Jamal being tortured and interrogated by the guards asking him how he cheated.    
I think they could make the movie a bit better by changing the beginning sequence like instead of starting off with him on the show when he gets occused of cheating then he goes to the police station so the audience know some clue of what is going to happen.
