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 !
