So What?! Who Cares?!

Ultimately what is at stake here is your life and the lives of other citizens. If an innocent bystander were killed because of your ignorance of what you choose to do behind the wheel of your car and you survive the accident, well your life will still be taken and spent behind bars. It is so simple to put your phone down and ignore it, rather than face any sort of consequence. An alarming statistic given by a man by the last me of Snyder is, "texting while driving is about six times more likely to result in an accident than driving while intoxicated." So what? And why would anyone care? It is a world wide catastrophe that has developed recognition nationally and that is why a new law states that texting while driving is now not allowed behind the wheel of a car. Statistics prove why and personal stories, which can easily be found anywhere, share the devastation of this illegality.

Analyzing: Driven to Distraction

I defiantly included "So What? Who Cares?" within my article Driven to Distraction. I included death and living with regret for the rest of the guilty texters' life if they were to cause an accidental murder. Who would not care about those difficult situations and feelings? I didn't really consider or include the positives to texting while driving mainly because there are none, that is why texting while driving is now against the law. I included words like 'alarmingly dangerous,' 'hazardous,' and 'wrongful death' which is surely able to grab a readers attention and persuasively adds why you should care about this partiular topic. It is dangerous and can easily be avoided.

Bank Overhaul

An article I have recently came across consisted of a man by the last name of Bernanke believing that bank overhaul will help smaller banks. The point I have just shared is basically that in a nut shell.

I can't say that I agree with this article. I say, leave the banks alone. If they fail, they fail, if they strive, then good for them. I cannot say enough that people need to let things BE! Example, the Libya situation, why in the world would Americans help other countries when we have so many struggling Americans within the United States. Help them, let other countries BE! I think the article was well written, I mean it gave me enough information to get on my soap box and say why I disagree with this article. I don't know whether we should disagree with how the article is written, but I do disagree with the content within the article, but the way it was written was fair and understandable.

Student-Parent-Teacher

I have chosen an article that discusses teachers receiving pink slips, getting laid off. One teacher says that for the last three years he has been hired and fired every year and it's very discouraging. About 120 parents, kids, and teachers have held signs after school to protest these pink slips that have been issued last week. It has become evident that the first lay offs are the music and art program and a parent shares that her child is gifted in music and they do not want to see the music program go under because it is enjoyed by many. In places it has been known to pink slip 24 out of 25 teachers which is unbelievable. The article also explains that because other classes are closing down and laying off teachers that other classes are filling up. Students, Parents, and Teachers also plan on protesting all of this week and through April.

I disagree and also agree with this article in some way. I agree with feeling as if the first classes to go are art and music, because who could get rid of something like English and History.. they are absolutely necessary for college and everyday life. I can see why people would be upset of course, because it would be good to have to class and not want it, then not have it and want to be in it and learn what it has to offer.
I disagree with the article by saying it is not fair to any teacher to get the scare of a lay off. I especially don't see it as right to punish just music and art teachers because of their chosen profession. I understand that music and art are key elements to some people and to a teacher I imagine they feel the same, so why fire them just because of what they teach. I don't see randomly handing out pink slips as a good thing, it could stress out any human being and for what? Just lessen everyone's pay.. it would make more sense.
It was a good article, it just had disagreeable and agreeable aspects that I felt necessary to harp on. It wasn't wishy washy, just a bit scattered with information, such as a school teacher saying one thing and then jumping to a whole different school and someone else saying a whole different thing, but it was a good article.
