1. A centralized system allows for more jobs to get completed without being completed by a person.

2. How did the advanced technology control the lives of the people in the movie?

 

 It took over the governments power at it's first source and moved on from there.

 

3. Do you want to have that kind of technology in our community, like our school or municipality? Defend your stand.

 

  I don't believe that type of technologhy is needed anywhere in society. It led to the point that technology was taking over the government.

 

4. In what way do you use technology wisely? Give an example.

 

 We use technology wisely by making it easier to pay taxes and bills, and aslo by using it for our own educational purposes.

 

 5. What message does the movie want to convey? How should you use or treat technology in this digital age?

 

This movie portrays the realistic view of technology abuse because they allowed the technology to take over everyday tasks and eventually it became overruling.

I believe that war related and violent video games do play a crucial role in violience. Many kids play violent games, and as a result, act more like the virtual world they play in for hours a day. On the other hand, if a child doesn't play a video game as much,they may not be quite as violent. In the article, the man played video games for approximately 16 hours a day. That, I believe, did play a major role in his actions.

1. violence, drug use & bullying.
2. I personally believe it is an invasion of privacy. If it were a school ran website then i would understand controlling what they put, but it's their own personal web pages that are being viewed by the school board.
3. I don't think i would act very civil if this arised in our schools. I along with my parents would not take this very well.

1. This situation does not repesent America as a Melting Pot. This is showing that there are still problems rising with blending cultures.

2.  I believe that not all minorites have been affected by this civil rights movement.

This article is about remembering four little girls that were killed in a bombing. The bomb was placed under the stairs in a church and while the girls were getting ready in the basement bathroom, it exploded and killed all four. One little girls sister lost an eye, and the bomb blasted out a depiction of Jesuss' face. The bombing was a result of the KKK.

This video really brings some emotion into it. It interviews actual survivors and firefighters that were involved during the time that the towers were falling. Two of the firefighters were brothers and neither of them knew if the other was alive or not and listening to them tell each of their stories really tugs on your emotions.

 

 

This picture shows just how big the explosion was when the plane first hit the towers.

The significance of this article was that the car bomb was let off near americans. Luckily no americans were killed during this car bomb. War was a success for one side and a failure for the other.

Fewer Americans seeking jobless benefits is a great step up in this nation. Wellfare claims will go down and less people will have to rely on the states money. I believe that this means the economy is improving.

When it comes to privacy and security along the lines of terrorism, there should be to some extent a way to view what goes on. There is a line that you shouldn't cross, though, when it comes to the security side of this outlook. If there are those certain "threat words" found then i believe they should be able to dig deeper into the lives of those who use them, but if no one if using threatening words and phrases then there's no reason to search through what people think is their own privacy. With 9/11 being today, i completely understand why this would be an issue in todays society.

Personally, I don't believe that the US should be held responsible for being the world police. We may be able to do it, but to have that responsibility on us is a great challenge. The United Nation should also have to play a part in the world police situation.

I beleive that the man should not have reacted in that manner. There is a limit to discipline, but im not saying that you shouldnt be able to discipline like they used to. Kids these days are getting away with way more because they aren't properly disciplined, but in the case of the story, the guy may have taken it slightly over the edge. He shouldn't have repeatedly stuck the child. The kid was only 3. They aren't going to get it right off the bat. If it were the 1950's he would of easily gotten away with that kind of discipline.

I personally dont think they should raise their dollar menu prices because it is called the dollar menu for a reason. They want to raise prices but not wages and that's only putting more money into the pocket of Mcdonalds corporation.

BR 9/4/13

They are saying that better degrees aren't necessarily leading to better paying jobs. Technical degrees are making more money than some of those with a bachelors degree. This does not persaude my decision in a career at all, because i will be making good money in the field I plan on pursuing.

In some ways i believe that its not an invasion of privacy because its on the internet. It's a public website and you accept their terms and conditions on their website. We are allowing it to happen.
