Journal Entry #3

Technology has is something that has been debated about for many years. There are many people that debate that it is something that should be taken away, and they have good points to back it up. It does take away time from many people to socialize with others and work. It could also be trouble for us because although it has an abundance of activity, it can hurt us by taking our time out from our families and friends. We could become like robots stuck to working with the same stuff all the time, like that man from the article. There is another side to this debate. Although it could be bad, it does have some benefits to this. Technology can help us connect from various places that before were very difficult to just reach, and helps create a community in it. It could help people to have a voice in any controversial topic that comes up.

Technology in my opinion is something that needs to have a balance. Although there are many bad sides to using technology daily, I believe that it is not something we should take away from society forever. It is something that helps us for many reasons, such as keeping in contact with our family from afar and our friends, helps us with research and creating a community in any social platform. This does not mean that we should use it every second of our lives as well. I do use technology daily, it gives me entertainment and it is what I use for work. There are times where I need to put it down because I feel as if it is taking time out of me, so I use that time to just spend with my family. Technology is great, but there needs to be balance on how we use it.

Draft #1 of Research Paper

The American Dream: The Change Needed in Gun Control Laws Studies show that an estimated 55 million Americans own guns (USA Today). Guns are mainly used for protection, but are often debated whether if that is a fact. Recently, America has faced an attack in Las Vegas which is stated to be the biggest mass shooting in American history. As noted, there are other mass shootings that took place in American history, which sparked the on-going question: Should there be more gun control laws? Although this question has been debated for many years, it is only brought up when these mass shootings happens. In a daily basis, there are multiple shootings that occur throughout the United States, yet the media and politicians do not discuss about this issue frequently. This is an important topic that needs to be discussed to prevent more from happening, although there are multiple sides. Many suggest that although states create laws that create more gun control, there is no change in the crime r...

Journal Entry #9

             When watching the videos of the two convicts who became scholars, I realized how many abilities one person can have, and the power of a person’s role in society. When reading first the article about Michelle Jones and her journey to becoming a student reaching for her PhD, which is amazing to comprehend. Although it may seem like she is just a convict who deserves her time, she is a leaner who tries to learn different subjects throughout her time in the penitentiary. Not only does she teach herself topics such as law and history, she also helps the community of the prisons by creating shows inside with other women. I saw through that article the many trials and tribulations any prisoner has inside those jails and what they have to do to stay humane.             Another source I liked was the video of the student who got his PhD, but his beginning was different. Although Jones kille...

Journal Entry #6

                 The film Front of the Class demonstrated the lifestyle of a teacher who suffers from Tourette’s syndrome, which is viewed very strictly in America’s society and is very misunderstood, and through that viewpoint they argue that there is more to being a teacher than just school work. It talks about what an educator is, which is a teacher, but who mentors someone through emotional points. This can be seen when Brad helps a child who could not read well, giving his point of view on how reading is for himself, and teaching him through a bond they made. Teachers nowadays have been trying to do this as well, trying to find ways to help students who have different problems that most people have, and focusing to educate those students. This film brings a more brighter side to what teachers can do, and how they could affect the lives of students who go to school for education.          ...
