Adina's Deck, Part 2.

I really like the Cyber bullying video waaayyy better than

How is cyberbullying different from in-person bullying? Cyber bullying is soo much different but the same as in person bullying. Because over the internet you are hiding your identity instead of facing your victim and bullying them. But its the same because its hurting the person wether its physical or emotional bullying.

Would you have done anything different then the characters in the story?
I think the boy who actually have been stalking her over the phone should've had more parts in the movie instead of just appearing in the movie a few times.
Do you know anyone who's been cyberbullied in real life?
Yes i do , i wont say who :x but they thought it wouldn't go as far as it did.

Cleverbot

A. Did either of the machine come close to  passing the Turing Test (did they seem human?)
No, I dont think it did because when i was talking to it when id say something they would talk about the total opposite of what i was saying and it was annoying. It didn't understand what i was saying. So obviously it would not be human its responding with different stuff.


B. What was some of the question you asked them ? Why? 
I asked how were they, and they kept asking if i knew  them and etc. I would also say bye to them and the computer would say im not done and say irrelevant stuff. I asked them how were they and stuff and questions a normal person would ask to see if they would respond back with normal answers.


C. Why do you think it’s so hard to design a machine that passes the Turing Test?
I think its hard because you have to put many everyday answers and common answers to answers people question . plus you have to sound realistic and normal.

Adina Deck , Cyber Bullying

I think the movie could have been better if they put better actors, i don't think they was putting enough emotion or whatever in the episode. Also I think they ended the episode really weak. But i like how they made the people you would least expect to be the victim. I think overall it was a good episode because it all made sense.

Thou Shalt Not Steal

1. Give three examples of plagarisim.
 a. When someone puts their name on someone elses art work.
 b. Putting your name on someone elses essay.
 c. Stealing someone else homework and take credit for it.

2. Take each example you gave in number 1 and write what you could do to make it NOT plagiarism.
 You wont be doing plagiarism if you don't copy from someone else or take someone elses work. I think it is perfectly fine if you read someone elses work or see it and try to make a different idea off of their work.

3. Go to Techbrarian’s Student Blogs page and find a quote from your favorite student blogger.  Copy and paste the quote into your blog.  Next, go to the citation machine.  Put in the information they ask to generate a citation for that quote.  Copy and paste the result into your blog below the quote.

"This game is important because this helps you pick the right choice when it comes to your teenage life." (Sanchez, 2001)

Human rights :']

1. 5 Human rightss , & explanation of what they mean ...

A. Torture : I think what the video is trying to point out is that people should not be getting tortured for unreasonable reasons. Before and now kids get bullied for things they should not get hit for. For example , one of the kids that got beat got beat because he wouldn't give up his money.

B. Slavery: In the video they was trying to point out that people should not be treated like slaves because of where they're from, what gender they are, how old they are or whatever. No one should be a slave under any type of circumstance.

C. Unfair Detainment: In the pamphlet from the few sentences that are there and also the picture. It shows that many people have been going to jails just for leaving there country to come to America and have a better life. Everyone wants and DESERVES to have a chance at a better life no matter where they are from. I think it is very unreasonable to be sent to Jail just for coming to America to have a life.

D. The right to privacy: In the pamphlet it shows that everyone deserves their own privacy. No one should be able to look through someone else's stuff without the owners permission. No matter what race you are, or how old you are, or where you come from. Everyone should have their own privacy.

E. We're always innocent till proven guilty: In the pamphlet they are trying to send out a message that if no one has evidence someone did something they shouldn't be blamed for doing such a crime or whatever !! No matter what the case is you shouldnt just assume someone did something because of their looks , race or what someone else said. You must have evidencee!!



2. What human rights are violated  in the game ICED ?
One of the human right that were violated were violated in the game was how they got put in jail just because they was from another country. You still would get thrown in a detention center even if you help out the community like donate blood and etc. I didn't think that was fair because half the people that are citizens in American don't donate blood or whatever to help out the community.

3. If you could re-design this game, what would you keep? What would you do differently?
In this game i would keep the cops to chase the non citizen to keep the game fun but i would change like if you help the community or whatever you get less chance of a risk. Not just get thrown in jail after how much you helped the community.

HIV | Aidssss ;

1. What is the game about ?
  The game is about making careful teenage decisions when it comes to sex. To not feel pressured and to always try to do what makes you comfortable, not go by what the other person wants.

2. Explain some of the choices you made and what happened as the result ?
 I did not let my character have sex with the boy because she still like the other boy and i thought it was way to fast. Even though she was attracted to him i think the farthest they should go is just kissing.

3. Why is a game like this important ?
  It is important because it lets you choose the decisions you would normally choose in the real life but it lets you know the results, so once you seen the result you might think twice about making the decision in your life.

4. How could this game be improved ?
It can be better if there were more choices to choose from and if they was to include more of like HIV type stuff in the story to have children aware of HIV and STD's and stuff.

The "N" Word

1. Where does the "N"word come from ? Why does it offend some people so much ?
The "N" word comes from when African American were slaves to white people a long time ago. I think some people take offense to the "N" word because it is such a strong word referring to the past where black people were treated as slaves. Also the "N" word is giving a label , a name to a certain race which probably people do not like.

2. Should Non-Black people be able to use the "N" word ?
Personally I believe Caucasian people should not use it because they have such a past with African Americans. But i believe if you grew up knowing the "n" word and people surrounded around you use it and you are only saying the "N" word to people you know it isn't as bad or weird.

3. Should musicians stop using the "N" word ?
I think musicians should stop using it so often like they do but if it has a reason between the word then i think it is fine. But then i think it isnt bad because us telling them to not use the "N" word is us limiting their use of colorful language. Also people enjoy the music even if it has the word so i don't believe it isn't that bad as long as they're not using the word in an offensive sense.

4. Do other ethnic groups (for example, Chinese, Jews, and Dominicans) use ethnic slurs like the N-Word to describe themselves?  If not, Why ?
 I think they don't use it because the take it much or offensive than African Americans and people nowadays are used to saying the "N" word , not anything else because many people grew up hearing the n word a lot, not any other ethnic slurs..

5. What would happen if black people (and everyone else) started using “king” or “queen” instead of the N Word?
I think if people started using the word King and Queen people might like it more than the "N" word because it might bring people spirit up being called king or queen. BUT i think after a while no one would really care and be use to the word so no one would really care about the meaning of King or Queen so it'll be just like the "N" word no one would take offense to it or feel better so their is no use of making those words ( King and Queen) upon us because it wont really make the world a better place because it will become a slang word. You wouldn't obviously hear Obama saying wassup my King -_- , thats lame lml .
WELL YEAH THATS MY OPINION ON THE N WORD ;-*

Airport Security

REASONS WHY I AM NOT AGAINST IT -

      The reasons i would not be against it is because as the guys said in the video id rather be going through a scanner than being blown up in thee air . Also , a simple pat down wont be enough and just glancing through your bag wont be enough in my opinion. They can hidee aanything in their bag very easily , so it would probably be best just to go through a simple scanner. Its not like it saved or anything, and the airports are only doing this for your safety so nothing can happen in the airplane when we are above the clouds in the air !


REASONS WHY I AM AGAINST IT -



    The reason i would be against it because it is kind of an invasion of privacy because they are pretty much looking at you private. at your private parts and EVERYTHING and people might feel uncomfortable about that . People can feel uncomfortable with theeir bodiees so they wouldn't want no one looking at their body. Maybe people in the airports or whoever created the airport scanners should find a way to make another invention to check for any weapons or anything, an invention where people will feel comfortable going through the procedure of being checked.


THIS IS MY REASONSSS <3 !

Rebuilding Ground Zero [:

1. What are some of the things you learned about the materials ( example : glass  concrete, steel )used for re-building ground zero.
A: I learned that it is harder than most people thought to get all these thing created for the buildings. Like the concrete, the construction workers had to get the right amount of water in it and different stuff. f the measurement was a little bit off they have to start over. Also with the glass they take lots of tie making it and sometimes it breaks because they did something wrong after creating the glass for a very long time.

2. What were some of the challenges that the builders faced when creating the new World Trade Center building and memorial fountains ?
A: The challenges were that until they got it right they had to go through many wrongs and mistakes. For example the glass kept breaking but it showed them what they had to do to make the building perfect with the correct materials.

3. What does the design of the World Trade Center symbolize ? What does the design of the memorial fountains symbolize ?
A: The world trade center buildings are to represent the twin towers obviously. And also to have people come together as one and recognize the beauty of the buildings.

4. How will this video affect your memorial design ?
A: This video will help me a lot because it makes me think outside the box when it comes to the memorial buildings and to keep trying until you feel like you like your design.

My favorite design for the memorial is the first one wit the round building in the middle of the twin towers with the light coming in/out of it. The reason why i like that design is because it is creative and its really nice and if we had that in our city i know everyone would admire it like me. I definitely think the person who created this design was thinking outside the box because i know myself and lots of other people wouldn't come up with an amazing design like this one. That is the reason why i admire this design so much .

Dear fans of my blog,

First off, I want to tell you what a boring summer I had. Not only did I stay home a lot or when i went outside it was kinda boring , but I also i got into a lot of argument with people. One thing that I didn’t do (but wish I had) is go to upstate more . It feels so weird to be at school because i haven't seen so many people and there lots of tension i think that hasn't been solved out yet.

Anyhow, I just watched a Men in Black video clip and it was really funny. I couldn’t believe that Will Smith was imitating the candidate it made me laugh a lot. Looking at Mr. Lahana’s “MOST IMPORTANT THINGS” list it’s pretty clear this video was talking about #2. This is because the video showed the part where Will Smith made a stupid decision by mimicking the candidate and also being unprofessional and bring the table to him , to be professional you just try to work with what you got.

On #4 of Mr. Lahana’s “MOST IMPORTANT THINGS” list he talks about finding what you love. Besides texting, Facebooking, and drooling over my favorite star Taylor Lautner and Justin Bieber , I’m into some serious stuff. Stuff that not everyone’s into– like acting. It’s true! I could spend hours acting out stuff and time just vanishes. If you gave me access to a computer with a camera, Garageband, Scratch, Photoshop or 3D design software I would make a a little video MAYBE if i gain confidence that showed off my talent at acting but i would have to act it with someone else also. But you know, I’m not perfect at my talent yet. By the end of the year I hope I can overcome my shyness and become a great actress. Well, that’s all I have time to write for now– Amy!

Privacy Policy !!
1. When do people have the right to privacy - List at least 3 Exampless
A: When they are mature and they know what they doing ( NO AGE ), Any age - In their room, Bathroom, Journal- DIary <3

2. When do people give up the right to privacy?
A: I think kids lose the right to privacy when an adult finds out you are doing something bad and they need to be in your space and stuff . I think that is a reasonable answer, For Example f you are "sexting" and your guardian finds out i think they have the right to be in your business.

3. I was talking to another friend on facebook and i stay signed on and my friend wet through it and read the conversation -__- and she got mad at me. I think it is not right to violate someone privacy unless ( i wrote my reason on question 2 :] )

My favorite gay story.

1. I think all the coming out videos were very powerful but the one that i was really into was the transgender one ( joel ). I felt bad knowing that Joel parents basically didn't even accept him because they wont call him his male name when she wished for that. And Joel may take it as a joke that her brother ask him often if he is a male or female but i think inside he is hurt having that memory that he wasn't born male that he was previously a girl. And i think he may go through more torture because he changed his sex . And sucks that it takes a while to change into a man so he had to go through the change during his graduation.

2. If i was with a group of homophobe and i had to speak to them about why is it bad being a homophobe i would just say it is not right just hating someone cause of what they like. It isn't like gays judge us straight people about liking the other sex. If they like their own gender then they do. it don't mean nothing and i hate that if people hang out with someone gay that is your gender they assume they like you. SHEESHHH JUST CAUSE THEY GAY DONT MEAN THEY FOR SURE LIKE YOU CAUSE YA FRIENDS .

Tattoos- reasons why should people get tattoos !

I believe some people have reasons to get tattoos. I understand people getting tattoos of something they like or love and it is a small tattoo. It shouldn't be a big tattoo of something that is not necessary because it just looks stupid. For example i think it is fine if you get a tattoo of someone who you cared about who passed away or something like that. OR you can get a tattoo of your son or daughter name or someone in you family that you care about that you would want to show you care about them through a tattoo. I also think that it is fine to get a tattoo if you are able to cover it with some clothing so if you go to a job interview or something, they wont see it and think of you in a different way.

Tattoos- Reasons NOT to get tattoos !

I believe people should NOT get tattoos because it stays FOREVER and if you actually do take is out it is painful. I think it is fine to get a small tattoo but still when you grow older it is going to get all wrinkly and it wont look all nice as it did when you first got it, you won't look as cool when you firs got it either. Also if you get a big tattoo people won't look at you the same either because you are going to look like a freak. What you think, if a lady was to ask you to babysit their baby and you are covered in tattoos , or if there was a kind person with NO tattoos who do you think they would want to watch their baby ? Obviously they gonna choose the second person with NO tattoos. Also if you want to do something good like donate blood for someone who needs it or something you can't donate because you have a tattoo ( tattoo). It may not be that serious to you now but it may be serious to you when you grow old and have wrinkly tattoos or when you need it in a crisis like donating blood.

THE BREAK IN - BOYFRIENDS STORY
Q1: Which answer did you put first ? Why ?
A1: Honestly i put A first, well first because i wanted to see the video and what they was gonna do. But i really picked answer choice A because i know if i was suspicious about my boyfriend i would most likely break into his page because it is easier and there is no way my boyfriend can lie because the proof is RIGHT THERE ! But yeah i just wanted to go based on what i would do.

Q2: Can you think of other things that people do online that they wouldn't normally do in person ? Give examples.
A2: Yes , there are online thugs who start and argue over aim but cant do that face to face. so they act tough online.

Q3: How important is your privacy online? DO you care if your friends know your passwords? If you have one would you let anyone view you Facebook pages? Explain
A3: My privacy is VERY importantt ! i do care if my friends know my passwords because i can have stuff i dont want them seeing possibly and i dont think they need to know my password like umm what you gonna do with it ? NOTHING OBVIOUSLY ! ihope. no matter how much i trust them they dont have the right to know !

Hope you understand.

Assumed Guilty:

1. I was assumed guilty for making my little cousin cry. When it wasn't even me, it was someone else but they assumed it was me because i am known for always bothering my cousin a lot.

2. What is it about you that made someone assume that you were guilty? Your age? Gender? Skin color? Things you've done in the past?

A: I am positive it is because of the past of what i have done to my cousin. But they always end up believing my cousin because she is younger but she is always the one who starts because she is annoying and she knows that certain things piss me off.

3. Have you ever assumed someone was guilty and find out they was innocent? Tell the story.
A: Yes, in my class people are always throwing stuff and one time they threw a pencil and it ended up hitting me so i assumed it was this boy but by the end of the period it ended up not being him it was someone else. That's my story.
Immigration Detention

Q1: Describe with as much detail possible what the detention center are like (i.e., the bathrooms, medical facilities, cells, solitary confinement, etc.)

A: The medical facilities was dirty and you can tell the nurse did not care about you because they told you to wait for longer than a month just to get checked. The bathrooms were disgusting because it was filthy and seems like it hasn't been cleaned in a long time. Also you don't get privacy at all and also it is disgusting because the bathroom is right next to the dining room where all the prisoners eat so they can just look at you and also when you eat the smell is going to disgust you.

Q2: How did playing this game make you feel ?

A: It made me upset because they have to go through so much and people who aren't in jail don't even think about what they go through. I never thought of how people in jail get treated like and i think that only some people deserve to be in jail but not the immigrants. I don't believe they should be treated like how they are.

Q3: What do you think the United states should do differently with their immigrants ?

A: I think people should help immigrants get a green card so they can stay in America or at least send them back to their own country without any problems instead of just sending them into jail. They don't belong in jail and putting them in jail is just hurting them and the people in this world because if they don't let the immigrants out, you're just using up space that can be used for real criminals that need to go to jail instead of roaming around on this earth !
