The Big issues!

The biggest thing facing human kinda at the moment is 1 - Selfishness this is since almost everything else would be fixed,
If we were not so selfish then 2- poverty would be almost non exsistant, if we shared and were not so into the self we would give more to those in need!
If we were not so selfish then 3- global warming would may not come for a lot longer time from now.. we all want this now and need the technology now so that I can be number one! i need a hummer, i need a mansion, i need 5 vehicles, i need to buy fancy toys for my kids which they will never touch and just fill landfills. less i needs and more think of it doesntr matter what people think, maybe lets ride my bike to work this mornign to be eco friendly, and global warming would not be here!
If we were not so selfish then 4- child slavery would not be in place, since we would not cheep out on kids paying them a peny a day, and would think of society instead of self and share the money that was income.
If we were not so selfish then 5- lack of belief would increse due to the idea of being not as focused into oneself, and has a moral belief of helping others and being kinder, if more belief then world would be happier and all around better.
therefore if the world was less selfishthen all the main problems in the worls would be gone or decreased.

Education system

well first off i would like to say although yes we are the ones learning, and we are growing up and figureing out what we want to do with our lives, WE are the ones that know what we want. not what everybody else thinks we wanr is always right for us, we are all orignnal and unique. that is why i beleive that the education system has to continue with the prerequset courses that everyone has to take. The problem is that when we do get to choose the other classes of choice our parent or gardian has to aprove and say that they agree with what the child is taking. What this does is allow the parent to dictate what the child learns or doesnt learn, we as a growning and maturing human being should not have to go through our parents to chose the life we want. an example of this would be a female student who has always been hands on and loves the outdoors and techs and woodworking and cars and would love to get invovled with technology, and become a tool and die maker. and she has it all set out and ready and goes to her parents to get them to sign it, and they see it and tell her NO! thathat she has to go in foods class and has to go to science and maths because she will be a doctor or scientist or accountent someday. she is in her 12th year of highschool, and has a late birthday and is still 16-17 so cannot sign for herself, but either way she is screwed! she has not taken 1 technology course and would have to take so many that she would have to come back for 2 or more years, which puts her behind in age and time. that is why the education system needs to change the fact that parents or gaurdians need to approve and sign course suggestions.
you may say to forge it then, but sooner or later the parents will figure out that you arn't doing chem homework but you designing an engine, for you final go-cart project for machanics!

American teen continued

the article following the american teen movie states that small towm highschools (one highschool in the town) are pressure cookers, since everyone knows every one! well i most deffinatly agree! with everyone knowing everyone and havin ga teacher as your aunts best friend or just small things like that your little sisters best friends mom is the school nurse, if your wanting to hide something you cant't and or they have inside scoop on how your doing in ur classes, it puts so much pressure because everyone knows you and will and can judge you and you need to be the best out of all the kids because every parent knows every kid and looks to see who is the best and they dont always say but all have oppinions on how far each student will go and what they will amount too, so ya living in a small town can be pretty suckish and a huge pressure cooker!

American teen movie

Very interesting and sad, it was sad since it is so true you see it in the halls, it’s the way of teenage society. I felt that Jake was the most appealing or sympathetic person, because look around there are more kids like Jake then there are bitches like Meghan. They just don’t stand out since they work so hard to be unnoticed and they are not extraverted like Meghan. Jake had a shy but out going sense to him, he knew he wasn't cool or popular but he kept on treking. he would go up to pretty girls that we all knew thought that they were way out of his leauge but he didnt care, and that was what made him sympathetic. he kept trying and even tho he would fail time and time again. in the end he had that girlfriend which was really sweet and cute it was a good ending to his senior year. i also beleive that he will go and or went the furthest, and is himself, in his life. The movie deffiantly well portrayed a teenage life in todays society, and the crap that goes on, and in thought it is the same crap as before but tweeked to fit into technology.

Angels and Demons

I give the book an overall 5 outa 10! It was okay nothing special, I feel bad for McGuchan having to read Dan Brown every year. Hard to finish wasn’t my cup of tea, interesting though, kind of stupid though actually. When I finished the book, my thought was “seriously I wasted all that time just for this!” I wouldn’t recommend it, well if you wanna waste time and you have nothing else better to do go for it, but otherwise, don’t torture your self. I learned a lot more about the catholic religion. Funny how I am catholic and a lot of it I was like really? Other parts I was offended by the way religion in general was often bashed. And a point I did not like at the end in the theory of religion, was how Victoria, the devote catholic. Had sex out of wedlock, should she not believe in chastity? All through out she was the catholic and she believed and needed to save Vatican city and prove that God was part of creation, in a scientific way to show those that believe in science that they can believe in both. Then she just basically in the end say’s fuck my religion, my dads dead, hey here’s a 45 year old loser lets get kinky with yoga! Ya very realistic and ruins the whole book! (if it was not bad in the first place)!

Growing up online

The old way of learning is right! Technology is good in the sense of overheads, and maybe projectors for students to present projects, but otherwise I don’t think it works or is right, if a teacher needs to show a movie ya a projector is cool and better, but not necessary. With the new smart board I think that students are falling behind, and it isn’t the students fault it is that teachers don’t know how to teach with smart boards, they go way to fast and the student falls behind, and they just copy they don’t have to think! With books its so very true most kids just go to spark notes, me I have never been there, but.. I don’t have internet either and I usually enjoy reading books. But with hamlet and Shakespeare I don’t understand the gibberish he is saying and if I’m not explained to in class heck ya I would go to spark notes, I want to pass don’t I? The education system has to realize that it’s out there and make it easier for students to read it in class with the class, best scenario if you get actors reading it recorded on a tape. DO NOT get kids in the class to read it. (this only with Shakespeare) if he doesn’t read it no big deal spark notes does a pretty good job of it. He’ll pass.
With the way that students or teens are reacting (behavior wise) because of social networking, I find it stupid. The things people say about others over the internet is wrong, and they need to realize that just because they are not right in front of you when you say it doesn’t mean you won’t get it right back at you. And I’m not saying back over on line. I’m saying that even if you use a fake name, the police can track who wrote what. And you can and will be charged. Teens don’t realize these things and factors about social networking and need to know its not a way to bully its just away for you to express you creativity and personality.
To me the things I saw on that movie it’s no big deal...all you have to do is browse the internet to know that! Yes the internet is a teenager or young persons life! I agree it is sad. Although it is pushed onto us, just as much as we, teenagers, choose to use it. Almost every assignment or anything given out, you must you the internet, even math! “just go onto my website to get the graph paper and print it out for your homework tonight” say’s math teacher. On that note, adults are freaking about our use of internet, well it’s your fault! And what else are we suppose to do, it is how society is changing. Also it scares you since we have learned about technology that you don’t know how to use. But if you are still inclined to have your parents or grandparents around ( talking to adults here) how often do you shake you head at them or thinking about there lack of knowledge in “that” area because it just wasn’t there time.. well... think about what you are saying.. The internet use, is our time, it teaches us to multi task, to be creative, to learn in different environments, to type. Yes we get involved in things you as an adult may not imagine, and it allows us to do things you have no idea how to access. but that’s the horror of it, it’s how we express ourselves.

Angels and Demons So far...

Well so far its an okay book, not something I would read on my own, I’m not really an action/ mystery book reader. I prefer more romance novels, although the romance between Robert and Victoria’s legs is pretty strong. At the moment the second cardinal is about to be found, I find that the book drags on so very much, and that is what makes it hard to read. I am used to reading long books although this it takes to long for things to happen, and when things do happen half the time it is unrealistic. The first 100 pages were suppose to be boring although I didn’t find it bad to get started, I just am having trouble getting up the desire to finish. Otherwise the characters are interesting, Dan Brown is a horrible writer, over all it’s readable and interesting, so far, I have learned many things. Thanks to Brown’s wife.
