TOW something that interests you

I just started a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu sports club here at FGCU.  I'm really excited about how fast it's growing and all the experienced people that are coming out and joining.  Soon I will be putting together a competitive team to travel around the state and hopefully win a few grappling tournaments.  We had a minor setback last week when our instructor dislocated his knee but he's still able to instruct verbally at practice.  We also just got some really cool MMA fighting shorts for a few of the more serious members which look awesome.  I'm putting a lot of time into this because it's something I'm really into and hopefully one day I can step back and see something worth being proud of.

History of PR

I found out that World War I played a big part in starting Public Relations.  It was decided that if propaganda could be used for war, it could be used for peace.  Propaganda had received a negative connotation because the Germans used it and that's when it was decided to use the term Public Relations.  I thought that was really interesting that we might be in a class called propaganda if it wasn't for the fact that we considered almost everything German bad after World War I including the words they used.
