Usefulness
After having done the two major course assignments, i realize that there are lots to learn other than school curriculum and sports, there are other things in the world we have to learn about. For example, i have heard of animals being tortured in very different ways but once i saw chickens being prepped for food on the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals , it was just disgusting. Seeing cows get ran over by tractors because farmers think it is funny? It is useful doing these assignments because we get to broad out into other aspects of learning. We get to learn new things and be updated of what the world is offering us and what we can do to make our lives and future lives easier. I believe that these assignments are useful for anyone because instead of having your heads in the books that are boring and makes you fall asleep, we can research on stuff that would help us in life so that we will not have to live in a world that is full of discomfort and pain.

Hi Layers,
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you said about applying what we learn in this class to real life events. I also found that doing these assignments were useful because they help us analyze articles about current events. For our first project I learned about a new immigration law for American students born in different countries. This new law would help them because naturalized citizens even though they brought to the states illegally by their parents so that they can pursue their college education. By doing this project I learned the hard truth of what it is truly like for young people who are illegally living here. They are forced to keep a low profile and they cannot go to college because they would forced to show proof that they are living here legally. By doing these kinds of projects we can build awareness and help those who need it.
