incoming advice for freshman

your experiences will be different from other people because you are a different person. Although you might be nervous about a variety of aspects of high school life, remember there’s a good chance you’ll easily adjust within a short time. If you go in with confidence and keep a strong support system, you’ll have the time of your life. You’ve always been told it’s important to do well in school, but that’s especially true in high school. Your grades, class choices, and extracurricular activities during these four years impact the colleges and jobs available to you after graduation. As a young adult, you’ll be expected to be a lot more independent and make choices for your own future. While you can still have plenty of fun at school, it’s time to start taking your education seriously if you haven’t in the past. you need to take your grades serious because if you fail then you are going to be behind and you don’t want that because then its going to affect the rest of your high school years. also watch who you call your friends because when a lot of kids come into high school they start making friends with a lot of kids and start  a lot of drama so just watch who you hang out with but also don’t be a homebody, go out and enjoy your highschool life

prescription drugs

the pro/con articles are showing us both sides on why ads for prescriptions are good and bad. some of the article states for the pro side is A 2010 Prevention Magazine survey reported that 29 million patients talked to their doctors about a medical condition after seeing DTC prescription drug ads and most discussed behavioral and lifestyle changes; over half of those patients received non-prescription or generic drugs rather than the brand-name prescription drug seen in the ad, meaning that talking to the doctor was the real benefit. so by the people telling their doctors about the medication that they see on the ad is actually helping them. on the other hand, the con article states in Sep. 2013 issue of Journal of General Internal Medicine, 60% of claims made in DTC prescription drug ads aired from 2008 to 2010 “left out important information, exaggerated information, provided opinions, or made meaningless associations with lifestyles.” the importance of the prescription drugs issue is that some people can become addicted to them and it’s easy for them to get the medication so we need to do something about that. i personally feel that after seeing the film in English class that it made me realize just how much prescription drugs can have an effect on a person, we should be careful and look thoroughly when people come into the clinics trying to get medication.

to my readers that are going to see this blog:

what is your opinion on prescription drugs?

do you think patients should be fully examined before being prescribed a prescription drug?

social issue research topic

What is your social issue? my social issue is weather or not illegal immigrants should be able to stay in the u.s

Why is it such a social issue?  What do people disagree about in relation to this topic?  its such a social issue because a lot of  immigrants are coming to the u.s illegally. people disagree that immigrants should be allowed in the u.s

What is your proposed solution?  Why do you think this is the best solution?  my solution is that we should let them stay because the whole reason they come to the united states is to make a better life for themselves/ and/ or for their families.

What are pros to your solution? they help our economy plus we have a lot of immigrants doing good in our country.

What are cons to your solution? people say they take up too much space, and that a lot of them are criminals from mexico that just come here to get away from getting in trouble in their country.

Any questions to your audience members for help on your topic? (Need to post at least 2 questions)

do you agree or disagree that illegal immigrants should be allowed in the u.s?

do you think i have a good argument?

super bowl commercials

 

The purpose of this commercial is to show that African Americans do have a  voice and shouldn’t be silenced. they should be able to say what they want ans shouldn’t feel like they don’t have a voice. i feel the intended audience is everyone, like to let everyone know that they do have a voice and should say what they like. i do  feel this is mostly towards African Americans. i think the stance is to show that you can be your own person and do\say what you like.

i feel the purpose of this video is to tell people about the new season of the voice and to get people interested in watching the new season. the intended audience of this commercial i feel is families. a lot of families like to watch shows like the voice because they are fun to watch. the stance of this commercial is to tell us about the new season of the voice, they also made it funny and enjoyable to watch.

i feel the purpose of this commercial is to persuade us into buying tide and how its the best for our clothes. i think the audience is families, mostly parents, this commercial is trying to tell them to buy tide for their laundry. i feel the stance of this commercial is to out beat any other laundry  soap out there, it seems they went through a lot to get their point across on how tide is best for clothes.

social issues in the united states

In the website  https://www.isidewith.com/poll/965629/9333313, throughout all the united states 62% said pro-choice and 38% said pro-life. out of the 63% that said yes said that you should not abort your child unless in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child. the 38% that said no said that providing birth-control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions. one person stated that actions have consequences, if a person chooses to have sexual intercourse with someone then that is clearly their decision. people do not choose to be raped, same goes for incest so therefore abortion is okay because it was not your decision to have sexual intercourse with the other person. i also read that one person that was pro-choice said that you should be allowed to have one abortion but not multiple. if you have one abortion then most likely in the end you will regret giving up your first child, you’ll feel guilt because you couldn’t give them life, or maybe it was just because you weren’t ready to have a child but if your excuse is that you just weren’t ready to care for a child, then you should not be having sex to begin with, if you’re going to do adult actions then you should be prepared for the adult consequences like caring for a child that you decided to create.
