Excercise 7

 The author that I think has a stronger argument is Professor De Jong, and he presented actual statements. He shows you the experiences that have happened in the past when the drinking age law was changed to the age of eighteen. In the 1970s the death toll mounted when the drinking age was lowered. Also, there is a middle ground on this issue of lowering the drinking age. People can like some different topics each author makes so you cannot have what side you would like. The ideas that you can offer that were not covered in either article are that teens will always find a way to drink if you like it or not. Some teens are responsible enough to drink, and not do anything crazy or get into any kind of trouble.

5 Questions On Blog

The similarities about Obama and Romney were that they both were positive about the situation. They both thanked each other. They were different about their reaction toward the crowds. Romney seemed sad compared to Obama, he seemed more determined toward their crowd. I’m not a fan of either but I think Obama was the more successful speaker he seemed more comfortable while speaking. The moment from each speech stood out to me was when Obama congratulated him that showed that he is a strong person for doing that even though he lost the election. This is the first speech that I've seen by these men. My initial reaction is that they both were very emotional while speaking. No I was not politically involved in this election. I did not get involved because I was not a fan of either Obama or Romney. In the future I plan to vote if one of the candidates get my attention and give good reasons to vote for them.

A show that is a bad influence

In this article of teen mom it shows why "Teen Mom" is a bad influence on teenagers. The teens that use to be on the show even claims that on this article. This topic would be a good class discussion because it shows how people priorities are on having babies and watching this television show instead of watching an educational show like discovery channel. Or even pay more attention to school work. I think more teens are trying to have babies now because they see how the people on the show can still live with it. Also, the show pays these teens to show there life story so I think it influences other teens that maybe they could be on the show and have money. For these reasons this topic on teen mom and teen pregnancy would be a debated discussion, how idiotic the show is influencing teens, and why they should stop airing this show.

Behavior of Jerry Sandusky

In Jerry Sandusky interview when they asked him questions he hesitates and is really nervous. In the NBC interview I admit the questions he was getting asked is very embarrassing to answer so I could see why he would get nervous about that, but if you didn’t do anything wrong you would be nervous. He also admits in the interview that he "horseplay’s" with kids. I do not think that older men should do things like that. He also says that he showers with kids after practice horse. That shows me that he is guilty because that is against policy rules to do so. This shows that he really did this stuff to little kids. Not just one, but many people physically saw him doing very harmful things to little kids. He went on trial for 40 counts of sexually assaulting kids. He could have served up to 442 years in prison. The judge found him guilty and sentenced him to 30 years in prison.

Jerry Sandusky

I think Jerry Sandusky made bad decisions of what he did about sexually abusing those children. I think if he had the chance to go back in time and change what he did do he would do. But you cannot change what already happen. So now he faces the maximum up to 442 years in prison. He will probably pass away in jail. I do not think he will get that long of a sentence though. I'm thinking he will receive about 60 years in prison. Now the whole Penn State football program is being punished from this situation. All of the football coaches were fired and most of the administrations were also fired. They all knew about what was going on with Sandusky and the children that's why they are in so much trouble. This scandal will always be talked about and remembered in the Penn State program.  

Lesson Learned

A time when I failed my class and report cards were coming out next week I was so scared. I knew that my parents would kill me if I came home with a failing grade even if all of the rest of my grades were a's. So I decided that I should tell them before report cards come out. I walked inside my house nervously; they were sitting on the couch watching television. Then I put my game face on and told them mom and dad I have bad news, I failed my reading course this six weeks. They first told me why, and I told them I guess I haven't been studying enough in the class. Next thing I know, I'm grounded before report cards even come out. I then figured out I would never tell them ahead of time again. Either way I’m still going to be in trouble.

Earliest memory of music and film

My earliest memory of music and a film was the Curious George film I loved the movie when I was a kid. I was introduced to the movie by my mom when I was a kid. When she was busy she just she put the movie on. I would sit there and not move or make a sound when it came on. She knew if she put Curious George on that I would sit there by myself satisfied. The set-up of the movie was just so amazing to me. Also, I loved the music that played throughout the movie it was very smoothing. I have one of the songs from the movie on my computer now. Until this day I still listen to it that song. The music makes you want to just sit there and listen to it all day long. So that is my earliest memory of music and film.
