class discussion on immigration reflection

I really enjoyed talking about this particular topic the class discussion became very heated but i enjoyed hearing other peoples opinions and views on this very serious and controversial topic.I think that there should be a special program that helps illegal immigrants who want to better there life and get a better education. the dream act is a great program in my opinion because it benefits those who want to help. i think that the u.s is just afraid of the competition for illegal aliens. as i pointed out in class there are very few actual non citizens in our state and federal prisons so why the false claims? i think that the u.s is just uniformed or misinformed by today's media. i believe that the media plays a big role in today's fear towards illegal immigration. the media likes to dramatise what is going on with illegal immigrants especially on our southern border. as we saw in our class discussion this topic became very race orientated because when it comes down to it the topic has alot to do with race and will always come down to race.i really enjoyed hearing both sides of the argument and the ball helped.:)

illegal immigrants in prisons

The u.s likes to make claims of how illegal immigrants commit a lot of crime and make statements that federal and state prisons are mainly made up of illegal immigrants. the truth is that less than 1/3 of inmates are non citizens. in the last few years the non citizen inmate rate has decreased to less than 20% in federal and 6%in state. i think that illegal immigrants are just the escape goat . i don't think that ,a small percentage of illegal immigrants that come over should give a reputation for all the others. If the u.s doesn't want to spend money for illegal immigrants in prison why don't they deport them saving money. i think that people believe anything they are told and unaware of the statistics. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/30/business/30leonside.html

immigration laws

http://immigration.laws.com/immigration-history/legislative-history-of-American-immigration Due to the much controversy about immigration there are many laws for immigration that are in affect.For example we have quotas,The immigration quotas established that around three-hundred and fifty thousand immigrants would be permitted access to the United States.we have also had many acts in the us constitution due to immigration.we have the thirteen fifteen Chinese exclusion act of 1882 and the immigration acts of 1891, 1893, 1903,1907 and the immigration acts of 1917, and 1918. All of these   act make it harder for immigrants to come over and start a new life. I think the government should create a document that allows immigrant workers to prove there way to citizenship.                                                              

bla :/

i can be so naive sometimes.Don't i ever learn? I always tell myself i made a mistake but i seem to always forgive and do it again.I should have learned by now i guess maybe this time it can be for real.Hopefully i stay strong this time after all i am better than all the stuff he puts me through.After all i do need to focus on school maybe this would help get me focused so i can graduate.Wish me luck.

immigration and drug wars

immigration is a very controversial topic and now with the Arizona law SB1070 and other racial profiling laws and the drug wars going on in Mexico it makes the topic even harder to address. Mexican investigators have found a total of 116 bodies in pits near the U.S. border, 28 more bodies were found last week. many people have confessed to the killing of these people but there are still many who deny having any connections to the murders.With all the drug wars going on in Mexico it makes people in the united states to fear immigration from out southern border. 

prom!!

prom was pretty darn amazing if i do say so . i am really glad i attended i would have regreted it later.. i danced all night and got to hang out with my friends and michael . i took lots of pictures that i hope to put on soon. i was happy with the way i looked and i got my nails done for the first time.after prom i went to colleens for a little then i went to dennys. i was so hungry after prom and boy was i tiered.

project presentation

Man do i hate being in front of the class.I dont have a problem talking to people i just get freaked out when all eyes are on me i start to fidget. Education is a good topic to learn about i learned alot and it made me more aware of what is going on at schools. I believe that there are many changes that could be made to reform the education system. Overall this was a fun project. i wish my other project wouldnt have gotten destroyed this one was a let down but it was still a good experiance .:)

Budget cuts causing prisons to release prisoners

Do to the economis state we are in many states nation wide have cut down their prison populationsby setting up parole programs and early releases.know many states are haveing to face many convicted felons in the streets. state officials now find themselves trying to maneuver between saving money and maintaining the public’s sense of safety.More than 1,700 prisoners released over three months, more than 50 were soon accused of new violations.I understand that many states are in an economic crisis but should the price be endangering the civillians of that state or provance.Many of the prisoners realeased are of any type of crime from misameaners to felonies such as sex affenders and murders. i believe that those are the people that should have to endure there full sentence but instead due to their good behavior for a short period of time they are released i find that absalutly crazy.many of these fellons that were relesed faced little to no time at all .       http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/05/us/05parole.html

groundeddddd!!!

oh no! how ironic is it that we are talking about education in many of my classes and yet i have seemed to ignore the concept of my own education. this is the worst its been i have gotten all my electronic divices all guests and outdoor activities revoked until graduation. i have no one to blame but myself i have gotten distracted with other things and have no focused on my education. i am making a promise to myself that i will rais every grade by a letter grade or two. i use to be very involved in school and i use to be excellent in all my classes but lately i have not been motivated to try.i dont know exactly why that is i dont know if it is because there is no actual incentive or reward i recieve or if its just becuase i got lazy? maybie its a little of both maybie the lack of motivation has not ecouraged me to try my absalute best.But, as of 3/8/2011 i am going to try my best and do all my work.

How do college students spend there time ?

Studies show the older you get the harder you work.The American Time Use Survey (ATUS), the report finds 24-year olds spend and average of 3.6 hours per day during school months going to class and doing homework, compared with just 2.8 hours per day for 18-year old students.According to th ATUS the majority of college students spend most there time sleeping on an average 9 hours a day . followed by an average of 3.9 for class and homework and an average of 3.9 for leisure.ATUS results also show that on an average college students spend about an hour on eating a day and0.8 hours on grooming and baithing.Acoording to the ATUS results race and ethnicity plays a role .on average asians spend the most time doing class work and educational activities followed by hispanic,whites and then blacks.i find it crazy that the majority of a day could be wasted on sleep .i am a very active person and can run on 6 hours of sleep perfectly fine i feel as if my day is gone if i sleep any longer.But i also understand that there life is based more on school than an average student attending high school .http://www.nebhe.org/2011/02/12/how-college-students-spend-their-time-sleep-first-class-later/

Budget cuts in texas

I find it insane how states are having to cut back even more on education funding.

Both houses of the Legislature submitted proposals calling for dramatic cuts in education funding. For example, the Arlington school district expects to lose about $35 million in state funds.Districts statewide face the same crisis.Education is very important it is the key to our future. because of the budget cuts many jobs wiill be lost and Class sizes at all levels will increase dramatically, because of all  the jobs cuts.if teachers and staff members loose there jobs it will only make the class ratios unvbalanced the classes are going to become overcrowded. dont agree with the budget cutts.

TEEN KILLED BY TRAIN

I cant believe that someone just a block away from my house would get hit by a train.She sounded like a bright girl who had alot going for her.incidents like this are very sadning to me to know that someone as young as she was lost her life and never even got to live . She seemed to have lots of good friends and close friends it makes you wonder what she could have been thinking. http://www.pe.com/localnews/stories/PE_News_Local_D_webtrain.b8042f.html

Strikes in Egypt

On Wednesday thousands of workers all across Egypt went on strike causing more tension. There is a lot of public uprisings and rage towards President Hosni Mubarak.  Protesters also gathered at parliament, the Cabinet and the Health Ministry buildings, all a few blocks from the square, and blocked Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq from his office. The protesters come from different ranges of work fields not one specific group. Workers "were motivated to strike when they heard about how many billions the Mubarak family was worth," said Kamal Abbas, a labor leader. "They said: 'How much longer should we be silent?'". Many protesters are demanding that the president step down but there are some who disagree Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit said in an interview with "PBS News Hour" that there would be chaos if Mubarak stepped down immediately. He warned that if the opposition tried to compose an unconstitutional government, "then maybe the armed forces would feel compelled to intervene in a more drastic manner. Do we want the armed forces to assume the responsibility of stabilizing the nation thru imposing martial law, and army in the streets?” The strikes are just causing more tension in Egypt.http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110209/ap_on_re_mi_ea/ml_egypt

Islamic Center 'Ground Zero Mosque' Controversy Heats Up

The mosque controversy near ground zero has become a very heated topic. There are many people who believe that ground zero is sacred land that nothing should be built in that area. There are others who are just against building a mosque there because they believe that is an insult to the families that have lost loved ones do to 9/11 .although the rare a lot of people who oppose it there is also a group of people who believe this would show the religious tolerance and who are in favor of it. As an example president Obama said” Muslims have the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in Lower Manhattan," but on Saturday said that he would not comment on the "wisdom of making the decision to put a mosque there."I believe that the mosque should be built but in a different area. I don’t have a problem with any religion and the practice of any religion but I also think that ground zero is hallow ground and shouldn’t be built on. I don’t think it is an appropriate location for the mosque to be built in

REFLECTION OF CLASS DISSCUSION ON HEALTH CARE

        I enjoyed the class discussion on health care it is a very important topic that should be addressed more frequently. I was able to hear everyone’s opinions about the health care bill and got to see how everyone reacted to it. I am not much of a public speaker I was afraid to interrupt people but I agreed with a lot of people they had some very interesting points. I agreed that health care should be a right not a privilege I believe that everyone should be granted with health care no matter what age, gender, race, or if they have pre existing conditions. I also believe that the unemployed should have health care I think everyone should be able to be covered. If everyone was covered by health care I think that more people would be healthy because they would be able to have more frequent visits to doctors. This is the first time I have ever paid attention to healthcare but because of all the discussions we have been having about this issue has really made me interested in finding out more information think overall the class discussion went well and I was able to gain and learn more from it.

BUDGET CUTS

       La Sierra has experienced a budget cut that has taken away many of the clubs and activities.With the budget cuts a few members of the staff were laid-off consisting of teachers,and custodial workers.Because of the budget cuts classrooms are now over crowded and there are not enough textbooks to go around.The impacted classes and shortage of textbooks are making it harder for some of the teachers to give more individual attention to his/her students.Another thing that was taken away was student busing.Now that the busing is gone it makes it more difficult for some students to make it to school on time.
