number eight

its another free day. what should i write this time. I can't think of anything other than a lot of homework I have before spring break. I guess it didn't sound that much when I first got the assignments but now that I'm facing due dates one by one, it seems a lot. My mom always tells me that one of the habits I have to fix is doing everything at the last minute. In college, its called "procrastinating." when my sister was in college, I really didn't understand why she had to put all nighter to do her homework and stuff but now, I totally understand why she had to have so many red bulls with her. I feel like i am experiencing what college is really about, its about the time management and I have to deal with every consequences and with more responsibilities. writing this made me realize how many stuff i have to do but than I can't wait till spring break  =D

You need to write about heroes who were considered disobedient and the impact that they have had on the world as a result of that disobedience.

she may not sound hero, but she was a hero to a lot of teenagers or even girls. the hero i want to talk about it Britney Spears. she was one of the female artist who spent most of her life as a singer. her first debut song, "baby one more time" music video is filmed in the school with her wearing her version of the uniform. this one singe music video gave an image to the students thinking they could change uniform too. people looked up to her saying things like she survived the "real world" in early age or she is really good at what she is doing. she has a title of pop sensation. On the other hand, she is an example of Tyranny of the majority to the society. There were times when teenagers' wanted to be just like her. But now, she is known as just "troublemaker." Teenagers are began to see that the person who they thought hero are no longer hero. Now, to those teenagers' moms, Britney spears is person that they wish their children won't become.

Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart said that "“Censorship reflects a society's lack of confidence in itself. It is a hallmark of an authoritarian regime.” Do you agree or disagree with his opinion? Why?

According to the dictionary.com, censor is defined as "any person who supervises the manners or morality of others." If this is the job of censor, then what Potter Stewart said is true or I agree. Personally, I am bad at picking something and i tend to be a follower. Whenever my parents ask me, what I want for dinner, my answer would be "i don't care or I don't know." On the other hand, my brother can make up his mind easily and sometimes, he can make change our mind. I thought this could be a example of what this quote means. If the censor's idea is strong enough and can even manipulate the idea so it sounds right to change other's mind, then this shows that other people lost their confident and just follow whatever the censor told them. I think censorship exist because society is lacking enough confident to let one group or even person to change its mind. 

assignment 5

The group founded by Mel and Norma Gabler has had a greater impact on the textbook adoption policy than any other. Although the founders are now dead, the group they founded is still flourishing. Discuss at least one good and one bad aspect of the work that the Gablers have done through the years.

After reading this book, i personally thought what they did actually helped the "textbook adoption policy". The one good thing that they did was they expanded the idea for the textbook adoption policy, how everything should be taught equally and textbook shouldn't leave anything. On the other hand, the one bad aspect is that ever since, their 'foundation" got bigger, by saying, their thoughts are always right, they began to force people's opinion and how the school should teach their ways. Milton wouldn't have like this way because he agrees that tyranny of majority shouldn't exist.
