Identy theft

For my essay number two, I choose to write about Identy theft. I choose this because I saw Sarah Oconner had her identy stolen, by her political boss type husband. I believe that this is an on going problem not only in our country but across to world, in every nationality and in all cultures. When we are children we have such big ideals of who and what we want to be. It was anything from a doctor to a business woman or a mommy with a sucessful husband, a beautiful house, and two boys and a girl. We believe that life will be perfect and we will be in love with our spouses forever. But sometimes life does not turn out like we had dreamed it. situations arise that mold us and shape use into somethig totally different from our dream. In the process we begin to lose something. What is the something? It is our very selves. It is who we are, our essence. Dont't act like you dont know what Im talking about. This kind of theft is more common than car theft. Sometimes we can allow the persuit for education, to without our knowledge to steal the essence of our very souls this is what I call identy theft. My professor made a very profound statement the other day in class he said " dont allow the persuit of a degree to steal your soul". Years from now if I dont remember anything else about his class I will remember those words he spoke that night.

Crooked river burning

I started reading Crooked River Burning and I got offended almost right off the bat. I was not interested in hearing about a red headed woman who shows boys her cookies for a dollar fifty. I was angry and I said to myself " is this some kind of light weight porn book? I'm I in school or what?

This is not anything that i would choose to read for myself. This is not what I would consider a good read after a long day of work. i saw the ratings on this book but, I did not understand why it was rated as high as It was. I guess because I'm just really getting back in the school scene and i did not realize just how loose our morals had become.

I do not like ot complain but I'll give it a shot. In the words of a famous writer, I would not read this in a box I would not read It with a fox. I will try to read as much as I can but, I do not like this Sam I am.

IOUAS the movie

I am writing aboout how I felt about the movie IOUSA. I felt that this presentation was very well put toghther. It was a very informative documentary. It was so interesting that I wanted to see it again,and I to went to work talking about it. This flim informed the American people about the current economic crisis. The writer creatively and effectively used graphics along with ethos logos and pathos in order to drive home a point about our countries economic desaster.

The flim stated that there are four deficits that the American people are facing today these are the deficit of taxes,savings,trade,leadership. In the flim tey interviewed several people. the results of the interview shoed that most Americans are clueless to why Ameerica is in the situation that she is in. Some people even believed that America is still holding the spot of the richest nation int he world. Tey also said that by the time the baby boomers retire there will be nothing left of social security or medicad.

If I were to analyze the information I see that the writer used Pathos often in order to play on the fears of the American People. For me It reinforced a belif that I already had. They also used Ethosusing name brand people like Warren buffet and the top accountant in the uninted States. This gave the argument mor credibility, especially after Warren Buffet said that He previously warned the White house of the disaster of borrowing continualy from other nations.

I would really like to see this flim again. I like to be an informed citizen. I really believe that what you dont know can destroy you.

"He claimed it was an accident and she accepted his apology and buried the truth"

In this section of the story Lydia is large with child. She feels tired and ready to deliver. She had come to realize that life with Loyd was no longer possible. Although, she still had feelings for her babies daddy. She is noticing the pattern of domestic violence, that could indanger her and her unborn child.

Domestic violence is not new to this country. It is not exclusive to generations of old nor race, culture, or status. Surprisingly domestic violence is found in every sector of life: In her book "Why Does He Do That". Lundy Bancroft takes us on a journey into the minds of angry men. In listening to the voices of the many women interviewed, they say things like " he really doesnt mean to hurt me he just loses control".(141) According to "Lundy" The abuser has an array of control tactics for example: Sarcasm,Distortion of word, Playing games with the victim and a host of others tactics.(141) Lydia did what is typicle of the victim of abuse, she accepted his apology and attempted to bury the truth. Though the truth is buried, truth does not die. Somewhere along the line it will rise. The best thing that you can do for an abuser is to get help for yourself, bring what he is doing to the light. He must be held responsible for his own actions.

I chose to write about this because, being in the ministry I have had to deal with this subject over and over again. You may be surprised that this type of thing would happen in the church but it does. I would like to be able to help women who find themselves in this situation. One of the first steps is identifying that this is in fact what is happening and step out to get help.

What I thought about the peer review

When we did the peer review this past Wednesday, I did not know just what to expect. I thought that it was something different. I have never really had anyone look at my writing seriously to critique it except an instructor. I was a little intimidated by having another student look at my paper. I did not know wether or not the person would understand my paper. I was hoping that no one would say " oh my god I cant even read this." I work hard to fix my writing before someone else sees it. I have been out of these type of classes for a very long time. I think that I feel that everyone else is better at this writing thing then I am. I had brought my paper, but it was still on the computer. I had not saved the paper on a jump drive. When I turned my computer on, it stayed on for about a half an hour then it lost power. I had to verbally explain my paper to Ania. I guess I was not doing such a good job communicating my thoughts to her because, at times she seemed not to understand. I also beleve that in this class many seem stand offishor even guarded.
. Most of what I had written was through just brainstorming so I really didn't have anything organized. When I talked to Ania I was still brain storming. I think that this will help me to take acloser look at myself and strive to be better. The skills that you learn from the peer review are transferable. You can use them as a tool help in all your writing. I think it will make you mor aware of how you write and in doing so you will become a better writer. It also forces you to allow somone else to help you better your writing so you wont think that it's good when it is not. Because i plan to write childrens books i know that I will need this kind of feedback. I must be open to the process if I want to be the best at what I do.

My philosophy on education

Ignorance is dangerous. (M. Murdock) Because of this dangerous enemy of man kind we see poverty abuse and gross injustice in our schools, and throughout our society. I believe that it is not good for a people to be without knowledge. However, I believe, that it was Shakespere who once stated that much education has made us mad! Mad you say? Yes mad! We have just gone crazy, loony to the toon of deliberate blindness. We have lost sight of the direction in which our educational system has and should go. Because of this our schools are running over with chaos, confusion and disrepect for authority.
Today we have more educational opportunities than ever before. we have excelled in the areas of technology and science but we have become clueless as to how to destroy the mis- education monster that taunts us on a daily basis. Because of that we are getting a big red F, on our report card.

Our teachers are now mandated to be called highly qualified. But, upon experiencing, the great lack of control in many of our classrooms across the country, One must wonder what some are highly qualified for . Our children are not falling through the cracks anymore. They are busting out through the windows, breaking out the doors, falling through the floors and. Are they left behind as the government said no child would be? Why of course not! You cant be left behind if the bus never comes in the first place.

Education that is for the people will help them to learn skills that will afford them the ability to achieve goals, and become productive citizens. It will foster the philosophy that Everyone bettered is better for all.

I agree with Dr. Murdock in saying that ignorance is dangerous but, the greater danger lies in an educational system without the power transfer knowledge. A system withoutout bounderies. An institution without discipline and inciteful compassion, one without eyes. We must keep in mind that It is difficult for the blind to lead the blind, and awaken from our sleep.
