fake donation website

How do you combat this sort of fraud?
   ~ I don't think there are really any ways to 100% stop this kind of fraud from happening. people do need to pay more attention to where they donate their money and make sure that it is going to a legit charity. also the charities that are real should have something one the website showing that they are real that other people can't get to without going through something to get it where people would make sure they are really using the money for the charity or reason they say they are.

Are the people who do this evil?
     ~ I don't know if i would say they are "evil", but it's definitely wrong. they need to be punished for doing it, and it needs to be stopped and yes it is a bad thing to do and most people would consider them to be bad people, some would consider them not bad people but rather people who just did a bad thing... either way it's wrong but i wouldn't take as far as them being evil. evil to me would be like killing a baby or something along those lines; something extreme. not that this isn't a really bad thing because it is, it's just not necessarily on that level.

Is this becoming acceptable behavior in society?
   ~ I don't think it's acceptable but some people might see it that way. a lot of more people are doing it now than how much it used to be. but i don't think people view it as acceptable they just do it and hope to get away with it, i would imagine most of them would know that it's wrong and unacceptable.

peer review awareness paper

Conde peer reviewed my paper. she says, in the intro paragraph change the word a lot, to many. reword binge drinking sentence. Conde pointed out the grammar mistakes in my paper, along with some bad wording, transitions, and citations. these have all been changed in my paper

Globally Competent Student

Is it important to be globally competent? why or why not?
     I guess it's kind of important to be globally competent because i think it could be a great benefit. the word i would use is good. i think it is good to be globally competent because of the ways it can improve your skills on communication, and how you view things and other cultures. However i don't think you need to be necessarily fluent in several other languages, if you wanna be or can be that's fantastic but in my opinion knowing enough of a foreign language to make out what people say and be able to respond enough to where they get the idea of what your saying it good enough to me.

do you agree that these are the only qualities in order to be globally competent? why or why not?
      No i don't think these are the only qualities in order to be globally competent, yes these qualities are very important and great, but i would think you need more that just 5 basic qualities to be globally competent.

if you would add or subtract "characteristics of the globally competent student," what would they be? why or why not?
          I would leave in the part about needing to know foreign language, but i would say you only need to be able to understand one, you don't have to be close to fluent in 5 other languages unless you just really want to be. i also don't think it's necessary to work overseas... again, if it's what you want then great, go for it. but i don' t see why you really need to work overseas.

This i believe, Albert Einstein

Do you agree with the author?
  i guess i somewhat agree with what is said in this article, but i still don't fully understand it.

Is there anything about the author that might be influencing these positions?
   I think one of the things that might be influencing is the fact that he is Jewish. In my opinion another was his wording, it made it very hard, but look and seem very smart.

How does the author support his positions?
    He supports his positions by backing them up with different scenarios and opinions. He makes it more believable because of the fact that he is trying to explain something that no one understands. Even he doesn't completely understand the subject he was talking about.

Volunteering

Do you agree with the statements in this article?
    ~ I agree with the majority of the statements in this article. the only ones i can't say i completely agree with are the ones about volunteering decreases depression, and helps you physically. the physical part i can see if what your volunteering for involves physical activity. but i'm not sure about the depression part and the only reason i do not completely agree with these are because i don't know much about it.

if there are so many benefits and it is so helpful and wonderful, why do more people not take part in community service?
   ~ I think one of the major reasons people don't take part in community service is because a lot of people are just to lazy and don't feel like spending their time in doing it.

Media Violence, primarily Hispanic viewers.

I think this article is better that the one that we read yesterday, at the beginning they tell you that they had people watch a violent and non-violent video then they watched videos of real situations and fake ones. the test showed that even the ones that had watched a violent video it didn't decrease their empathy for the real life situations. that's how they got the answer that we are more empathetic if it's real and something we can relate to. i feel like the experiment with the children watching something violent and non-violent could be done a little further for a more accurate result, because their result said the children could have thought that a certain amount of violence was okay since the adults had told them to watch it. Another reason i think this article is better is because one some of the experiments they re-conducted them to see if there was any difference. though the difference may have been very slight to none at all at least they are making sure the studies are accurate instead of just doing them once and saying that's how it always is. i think their experiments that they did in this article were more thorough than the others.

Rock & Rap media violence.

At the beginning of the article, the experiments turned out that yes it was more aggressive when watching aggressive music videos. then they did an experiment and it showed that it somewhat varied depending on the person much like the reinforcement theory where you don't just look at what they are watching and how it effects them from that perspective, but also their background and how it contributes in with the violence or aggression. I think that yes they accomplished what they wanted, because they wanted to know the results from these experiments. some may not have came out in the way that they thought but they still got interesting information from it. i think that they need to retry this study considering how fast we have come with technology and just grown in general. the data may come out the same but many of these study's were done in the 90's i think it would be beneficial to have them done again. when they did the experiment on sexual violence/aggression they were very shocked to find out that some of it came from classical music. obviously they were thinking that these characteristics could only come from rock or rap when they actually came from both. I think that in a way that proves it's not just the song genre, it's also the person, and in my opinion the majority of it is the person and how their thought process works. also in the experiment conducted by johnson, jackson, and gatto they only used african-american males. to get the full data from the experiment they should have had a variety of different ethnicity's and both male and female. i don' t see how they could possibly get all the information needed with only one gender, and one ethnicity. yes they did keep the age level close in age but they also could have made another experiment with another age group to compare the two and see if they related in any way. I feel like this experiment was  in one way accurate with how some of the experiments were set up and completed, but then again not as accurate as it should be with the way some of the experiments were done with the gender, ethnicity, and not all of them looked at the individuals background which plays a very important role when testing someone on acts of aggression or violence like this. There were a lot of things that were not done well or thought out completely like they should have been.

Video game violence

This article talks about video game violence. What i got form reading this article is that yes they seem to think video games can increase aggression/violence a little but not to the extent of murdering someone or going anything that far. it has such little impact that it really doesn't change much.  it also says in the article that it is even less with normal exposure to violence, it is only with people who are prone to violence or exposed to it often that it makes more aggressive. i think this is mostly related to the observational learning theory. you could learn from playing or watching these games but like i said before they generally dont have enough effect to cause drastic damage.i think with like the game of call of duty yes you are killing people but i don't think you really think in your head okay im gonna go kill these people who have a family that cares about them. its generally these are my enemies this is what i have to do to protect my home and my family. its just how it works.
