Week 4 EOC: Jeopardy Evaluation

                  
              The jeopardy game is very helpful when trying to study large amounts of information that we need to retain. Most study techniques do not really work, because by the next day most of the knowledge is forgotten. During the game I found myself recalling many of the definitions but not remembering the actually name or term, but playing the game helps polish the knowledge we studied the night before. I might try to use this study method on my own, to help me study for future exams. Hopefully next week I will do good on the midterm exam plus having 37 extra credit points will save my butt otherwise. I also noticed many of the students had a good time playing the game. The enthusiasm of the students were high to win the game when the runners had to answer they flew to the board. Laughter was hear threw out the period of playing the game which is proof that the game was actually a fun way to study. I would have never thought I would win this game but sharing the winning seat with 4 others was fun as well. I think I will take some more time next week to study for the exam to get a passing grade even with out the extra 37 points.

EOC week 2 Eran Brockovich

After watching parts of Eran Brockovich, it really opens your eyes to how much control big corporations can have over the the public. Since this movie was based off a true story where PG@E lost a settlement case which cost them a $333 million dollars, I found out that some of the homeowners who were awarded this money were still not pleased with the amount that they received. Even though some families have received larger pay outs then others, they didn't know that the pay outs were based on there medical history. Some of the homeowners appealed for a higher settlement payout that fit the amount of medical fees, because some doctors told them that no one has came to look any records at all. Sometimes hard work does pay off.

Week 1: EOC My Voice

Memories have started going through my head about friendly we as a people use to be. Now people are generally less friendly amongst the others, which is very alarming. It almost seems that people are threaten by other or poses less positive energy. We don’t seem to care for others in time of emergency. Not too many years ago family, friends, and neighbors would relax with each other outside their homes. Sometimes I wonder if it is because of TV, that people don’t trust each other. Most of our TV shows are so violent and untrustworthy; as if it’s slowly teaching us not to trust anyone. Corporate companies are trying to pass laws to not allow children to play outside their apartments, only because the children might get hit by passing cars. I feel corporate America has gotten smart over the years, by slowly taking away our privacy and our rights seemingly right from under our noses. But American people seem not to even care anymore, because it’s too much to think about or just laziness. We need to come together as a country once again, without falling prey to the thieves in the night.  Our rights need to be returned from the tyrants cloaked in Democracy. Our communities need take time to care and love each other, and stop letting corporate America divide and conquer its own people.
