Tell me about the global issue you selected. What do you already know about the issue? What are you looking forward to learning about it? Explain.



The global issue I selected was hate crimes. The name is pretty self-explanatory, and i know what that the majority of the targets of hate crimes are African Americans and the Homosexual community. I also know that hate crimes are dealt with less mercy to those who commit them. The punishments are greater and it's considered much worse than a regular crime. I want to know about how widespread hate crimes are, and in which countries it's the worst in. Antisemitism acts have influenced all our lives with Reat's tragic death.

What did you do this weekend? Share pictures if you have them!

 

This weekend I played video games the entire day. My friend introduced me to a game called League of Legends. Although its little bit childish for my taste, and the ample number of 14 year old's on the game suck at it, losing us the game 50% of the time. My favorite character in the game is a person called Yasuo. The only other thing i did was go out and get McDonald's, and watch some south park with my best friend, Tommy Payne. I wish I could say that I did something else, but that's it. Video games took up all of my weekend

Yesterday I asked your to "think differently" and push yourself to be uncommon with your PSA project using Google Slides. Why do you think I asked you to do that? What is the point? Why not just use bullets and headers? Explain.



A PSA that catches the eye and stands out will be remembered. The objective of a PSA is for people to see it, and try to change the way they live for the better. One that stands out and remembered is an effective PSA. I think you also asked us to be different is because you want to see our limits with testing Google slides. If our PSA's were boring with just bullets and headers, then we wouldn't really be using Google slides. It would be just another name for a boring power point presentation. Headers and bullets might get the information across, but will be forgotten and that PSA would have changed nothing.

Texting and Driving PSA

Tell me all about your Labor Day weekend. What did you do? Include photos!

Over my Labor Day Weekend, I mostly played video games with my friends online. On Sunday, I invited two of my friends to drive around going to restaurants and random people's houses. On labor day, i went over to my moms house to watch a movie, but decided not to, and i would come over later for dinner. I visited K-state to see my sister. Although this sounds very fun, almost the entire time i was miserable. 90 degree weather and you have to walk around everywhere? I wonder if I even want to go to college anymore.... While there, we went to a local sub shop, which had average food. I saw my sister's dorm, and i saw where all the college courses are located. Driving around with my friends was so fun. We love to turn the music up in the car and annoy other drivers (All while remaining safe, of course). Overall, my weekend was the kind where you say, "nothin" when asked what you did.
