Jessica C December 1st, 2013 ENG 511 Professor So Revised Paper 3 Texting Should Be Allowed in Classrooms In today's society, text messaging is extremely popular for all different age groups. A unique way of text messaging on a phone is that the text message can be quickly transmitted to another person without taking up a large amount of time. Text messaging is also private. People will not be able to eavesdrop on the conversation. However, text messaging has been a major problem with students texting in class interfering with the disruption of their learning.
While the characters of ‘Cinnamon Rain’ are relatable, they aren’t as close to a year eight student, due the age difference. It’s harder to understand how the characters of ‘Cinnamon Rain’ are feeling, as it is highly likely that none of the year eight students studying the topic ‘Contemporary Issues’ have been in the same circumstances as the characters of ‘Cinnamon Rain’. While students may not understand the circumstances of characters in ‘Cinnamon Rain’, it will be easier for them to understand the circumstances and setting Avalon is in. Avalon is cyber-bullied, and most year eight students will understand how effective cyber-bullying is at wearing down a person’s self-esteem. They will be able to understand that not everyone fits in and is ‘popular’ at school, and how some are bullied because of it.
Teenagers of America are obsessed with social networking sites and online gaming. Literally right this second thousands of little kids are becoming obese from little to no physical activity in their daily lives. Parents aren’t helping the matter either, whether it’s because they’re uninformed or they just don’t care about getting their children involved; they aren’t doing their jobs as parents of America. This is not teaching their children to grow up to be incredible leaders of our country. According to source A, “Community Service embodies experiential learning, locating a moral center, community health, because it is about empowerment and making the world a better place…” Yet, each day kids are becoming lazier and lazier because they don’t understand the importance of volunteer work and community service.
It is imperative that communities, business and industry, and education systems - both K-12 and higher education - realize the evolving workforce needs (2005). The necessity to understand the dynamics of these changes from technology to demographics to globalization is very important (Merrow & Shulock, 2007). It is important for America to realize the importance of education and of having highly skilled and highly educated workforce. It is time for America to seize the day and revolutionize our education system so as to create a continuous learning environment from K-12 through higher education to continuing education. It is time for business and industry to take notice of the importance of education and training.
I always believe that whatever party is ruling the society the change should be gradual and effective rather than rapid and ineffective. Liberals always believe that people can improve their lives through the use of reason whereas conservatives always believe in defending status against changes. I always believe that whatever party brings in a major change which is essential to the public at that point of time should be in power for the betterment of the society. There are liberal and conservative Democrats as well as liberal and conservative Republicans. So I believe it is really essential for the younger citizens to make their decisions as to which party they are going to vote for based on the major changes bought by the parties.
Through technology and good communication, the Communities of Practice process will definitely help Xerox bridge the gap between generations and provide the younger group with the knowledge needed to keep the company successful. Given these generational issues and the type of work life that Xerox employees tend to have, can you think of another possible way to encourage knowledge sharing within the organization (Colquitt, J.

Bugeja states how it’s affecting college students, but doesn’t get into how it’s also affecting people in everyday life in general, such as being in the workplace or even being in a vehicle. Bugeja does a great job sharing his views about technology and how it’s affecting college students during school, but leaves out the matter of how it does affect the true world as a whole. Schools are using more technology to better education, but they have failed to realize that the younger generation’s views on technology are more of a means of delivering entertainment and secondarily as a means of
Mike Stevens 50058647 Martha Addante SSH-205 Nov 28th 2012 Is Technology making us dependant? I propose to assert that our society is obsessed with becoming individualists, and it is fuelled by the ever growing entity that is technology and has forever changed the way that humans live. As the advancement of technology continues and newer ways of communication and learning are developed, be it; social networking, instant messaging, Google. Our society will become more and more individualistic, which in turn, will drive us to care less and less for our fellow man. In this essay I plan on discussing what it means for our society now that we have become much more individualistic and placed a greater value on ourselves rather than things around us.
While researching Taylor and his views regarding the 21st century enlightenment, I came across a fascinating essay that he wrote on this subject. The three areas Taylor outlines which need development in order to close the ‘social aspiration gap’ (between where ‘we are going’ and ‘where we want to go’) make interesting reading. This encompasses engagement – recognizing your own role in changing things; self-sufficiency and resourcefulness – managing your own life and taking the initiative to change things; and being pro-social – building social capital. Some readers may see a close parallel with some of the ideas the coalition government has developed as part of its Big Society agenda. The very
