Journal Entry #14 On Dumpster Diving

His view on College Students that discard goods, are common among today. There alot of teens that have not yet worked and do not know how it feels to work their backs and receive a weakly check. Those that are living within their parents have it easy and do not struggle maintaining themselves with what little resources they have. They have endless resources that provide them a safety nest, that they can go back to.

Once they reach college, those that have not tasted responsibility in working to be able to live by, face a cultural shock. Unwillingly they have adapted themselves to save what few necessities that have to be able to live by. College students are too adapted to having their parents look after them, that they act as if they have no worries to face. When they find something better, and that looks better appetizing, they will discard what they think as old and un functional. Discarding what is still of good use, it all goes to the trash.

Journal Entry #13 I-Search Topic

Blog 10: 2-3 paragraphs 1) already know on your topic 2)what you want to learn and why
on the topics you choose
1) Immigration should people that have done no crime and have been here for many years stay or be kicked out. 

2)Should people and jobs judge a person by their piercings and tattoos. 

3)Should financial assistance be taken away from people, because of many that have lied to receive it. 

     I choose three topics that interest me, and that are controversial on whether it should be fixed on ignored. My topics are: should immigrants that have been here for many years and have not committed a crime or become a danger be kicked out of the U.S.A for being illegal  should people that have piercings or tattoos be denied from a job or be judged by their appearances, should financial assistance be taken away form everyone due to many frauds done by other people. My topics are choose, because each of them have affected me in my life. 

     I know that there are many illegals that have done harm to this country and they continue to have their citizenship, while those that have done no trouble through out many years in this country have been denied citizenship. There are good people out there that do not do drugs or do anything bad, but have decided to get a tattoo, just because they saw it as beautiful. Those few people are denied jobs, because of their appearance to look repulsive to the employer. Few jobs accept them, especially when they have piercings that seem to stand out. People like me, that can not afford much have medicaid and food stamps. We can not always afford much, especially when you are the one working and maintaining bills for your family; illegal is a factor to this. There are people out there that can afford alot, but decide to save  it and purchase non necessity objects, like a new car.

     I want to know is  there anything that can be done or fixed about social taboos.People judge by how they were raised as, and do not see opportunities that could be provided. Many can not afford the food or transportation, when dealing with cons of being illegal. My mother does not have a job, so I had to look for one to be able to provide for them. It was hard at first knowing that you could be judged by your piercing. 

Journal Entry #12 Thanks to Modern Science

Civilians that have murdered and gone out free, are yet to be found. For that, many others have been convicted for their haynes crimes. Unwillingly there have been times that they do not further investigate the possibilities,  because they feel powerful for capturing an evil villain. Innocence has been over looked, once they are contained in jail, that many yell for freedom. A closer look over the years, have showed the achievements of science to prove their innocence after many years. Those years contain can never be returned, and not ever a forgiveness is acceptable.
Life has been lost to the treacherous punishment, that few call justice. One should not contempt themselves with the idea of an eye for an eye will fix everything. Evidence can wind out from anywhere and prove many theories to come out openly. The idea of someone dying without a say by a torcherous act, is the same as a victim being murdered. You can not punish someone so harsh in a manner, that their life is to end immediately by a electric chair, or a poisoned needle. If their time to go from this world has not come, there should be no reason to take it away.
If a murdered has made their crime fall upon a innocent person, and that person says they are innocent, then they should reexamine the evidence. Look further from what they see ad discover, what they could of missed the first time. A punishment of re-education, or sentence to life seems more fair for a murderous crime. If all seems to fail, then another option would be to contain them till death.

Journal Entry #11 Major League Baseball

Write  a paragraph suggesting ways to prevent situations such as the one down in the picture. For example, might high fines deter player from losing their temper?
Everyone has gotten mad over a small conflict or a big conflict caused by basically anybody.It can also lead to a hole group of people getting mad, because of their strong beliefs. For example rivalry can cause a lot of friction between two crowds. At a sports event it can be difficult to obtain your temper, when one group is name calling or insulting your team. There are a number of things you can do, but you can not always avoid getting mad. For example if someone in front of you is insulting one of your favorite team players or saying how bad they all play, avoid that person. You can eader change seats from where you are sitting, so you do not hear them or see them. When they are being to verbally with foul language and there are kids and you feel like you are being disturbed, you may politely ask the person or people to please settle down or watch their mouths. It may not always work, depending on the people you are asking, and it can lead to trouble. If they ask for a fight try calming them down and be reasonable, or walk away.

Journal Entry # 10 Process Project

What was it like to work on your process project?
This project was a project where we just had to describe the process of about anything we could think of.  The possibilities could be as creative as our imaginations. It was just difficult deciding what was it we wanted to present and could come to agreements with. The time was of Halloween and we thought it would be fun to have something eerie. The ideas came of something edible that looked scary, to a product one could wear, or to an activity, that could be scary.
After reading a story that seems to fit the time of Halloween, it came to suggest we could probably do something similar to it. The idea of fixing up a dead body after death,  for a funeral seemed  disturbing. Taxidermy was closely related to it, and reminded me of a video I had seen on Taboo. The video was about people that are overly attached to their animals and will go to extents to keep them after death. That is where Elba and Michael both said how they love their pets dearly and had passed away. This lead to our idea of a project and we were excited.
It was a little bit frustrating at the beginning trying to choose who does what for this project, but as soon as we did we started on the project. The steps were pretty easy to find, but too look at the demonstration was nasty look at. It was a simple picture glance, not like a video. It was easy to follow the steps, well to me from what it stated. I wanted to actually try and do a taxidermy mouse, but the idea of doing it was a lot of supplies and I wouldn't know what to do with it after. When the steps were put into the prezi I felts really accomplished by it because it meant we were almost done. The pictures were easy as well, and some of them were weird to look at. It popped in my head at times, that what the inside of the mouse is somewhat similar to how our organs might look like inside. It was still fun to learn more about it and I really enjoyed doing this.

Journal Entry #9 How to Escape from a Bad Date

1) Although this is a humorous essay, the writers nevertheless do give some useful advice. Write a new version of these instructions, including only steps that you see as realistic and sensible. In your introduction, give some reasons someone might need to escape from a date; in your conclusion, make recommendations for avoiding this problem in the future.
Trying to avoid a date one does not like can be simple. You can make up an excuse, such as family matters or work. One can never come back from the "restroom", but in reality just left your date hanging. The easiest way to avoid all this is cancel before it even starts.

2) Rewrite one of the selection's four strategy sections, replacing the authors' specific advice with your own advice-for example, your own steps' for faking an emergency or getting your date to leave. Add an introduction and a conclusion to make your instructions into a complete essay.
When it comes to a unknown date always be prepared. If your date does not seem to be your type you can always identify yourself as someone else. For example come prepare with another bag full of necessities  Pack hair products to change your hair and another pair of clothes to change in. If you have room pack some shoes to run, and make up as well as accessories.

3) Write a set of instructions for how to escape a bad party.
Nobody likes going to parties that are not that fun, especially if it involves certain people. Those that have never been to a party, will expect so much out of it and come out disappointed  When they feel trap for being there they will not know how to react and get out of there. There are a number of ways some may be so simple other a little more difficult  especially if they insist
The most difficult situation one can be put through is when it is a small gathering and you can not fit it. It can be very awkward for you to conversate with them and to continue a conversation. A person in panic can sometimes not think of a way to get .How to escape a party can be alot easier than a date. One you can sneak out from the crowd, unless it is a small gathering. If it's smaller than make up excuses that you can not stay long, or that you have other priorities to attend.  If you believe you are going to a lame party and they insist on you going, text someone to call you in a certain time. That way when they call you can say it was your mother asking you to come help at home. You may leave as you please and avoid conflict.

Journal Entry #8 Malcolm X

Did you ever engage in behavior that your later came to view as unacceptable as your belief changed or as your social consciousness developed? What made you change your attitude toward this behaviour?

I remember back in middle school many people though their life was so hard, but in real life someone always had it harder. Some people thought it was also cool to dress in black, wear eyeliner, and do the whole scene girl, emo, and gothic looking kid.  People would straighten their hair so much till it got really damaged  dye their hair black and wear skinny black jeans and band shirts.  Also, there where some of the few that would do some piercings. They would be angry and sad at the world, that they would isolate each other from everyone else. At a moment I too followed the look of being emo, back in 8th grade, because I thought I had it tough when it wasn't the end of the world. It only felt like that, for my stupid decisions I made and for finding out bad stuff that destroyed my world.  I soon grew more, and started looking normal, because I realised life is to short and I started to live my life to the fullest. I was once again happy, and I did not need the wrong attention by my old personal style. I changed once I seperated by th ebad influenced, and realised I am worth alot more than what they made me
