Multi-Genre Post

The paper I found the most interesting was the one about video games and their impact on children. I related to this one the most because I've had experiences with these types of video games. The ones he mainly focused on were the violent sort, like Grand theft auto, and Call of Duty.My parents have seen me play these types before and questioned why I would want to play these games.

 Although this topic is nowhere near the topic I will write about, it still shows how things can change the life of another and that impact can be positive or negative, and in this case it is negative.

Research Proposal



For my research project I am researching about mission work and organizations that get involved with helping those in need. The reasoning behind my choosing is because of my Mother and my church. Ever since I started going there when I was one, they have sent many people and groups to Nicaragua to help spread the word of God, and bring goods and health services to the needy. Along with my mom's experiences, I too have had an experience with helping others. I will use many events from my experiences and then also ask my Mom to share some of hers with me. 

Response Number #3: Millennium Goals

 

Millennium Goals

 

 

I read the first goal that talked about ending Poverty and Hunger. More people should get involved with trying to end hunger. It's not just going on in some places. It is happening in your community as well. There a children and families in your area that don't have food or money to pay for quality needs in their home. I've had experience going to cities and towns where they don't have much to live off of, and it makes you really grateful for what you have. Witnessing hunger and poverty would help me out with going deeper into this topic. 

Something That Matters

 Something That Matters

My first video to watch for the Something that matters was Good Spread. The story tells of these two men that decide to make their own peanut butter titled Good Spread. Their inspiration for this idea was from the CEO of the MANA nutrition group which has therapeutic peanut butter-like food to send to kids in Africa that have malnutrition problems. 

 This video and story stood out to me a lot because of the will and determination that these two men had to make a difference. They never gave up their dream even when chance tried to stop them. They talked about when they were on their road trip to make a difference, their van exploded. It may have paused their journey but could not put an end to it.

 Next was TOHL, created by Benjamin Cohen. It is a mobile infrastructure, which supplies water to countries or regions that have had a recent disaster. Cohen started this project in 2010 after the huge Haiti earthquake. It took two year to perfect his project. He quit his job in the U.S to begin his long and hard journey. He found a place in Chile and gathered co-workers to get the job done. And after watching the video I found so much respect for his ability to take risks and his persistence. What he's doing is amazing for people in need, and it should teach us all to always work hard at our goals.

  And lastly Lamon Luther, which was much like the first two. A heart warming story that shows how a person wanted to change a community for the better. This company gives homeless men a second chance and a job to get their life a jumpstart. The recreate furniture with reclaimed tools that have been given a second chance at life just like the workers. This is my personal favorite because of the comparison it has with the tools used and real life has great meaning.

After reading the article about grammar rules, I found myself relieved yet still worried about my writing. The author gave me relief when he said: "Not following them (grammar rules) doesn't make you a bad person or even (necessarily) a bad writer. But it was when he said showed all of the mistakes people make in their writing that had me worried because in my past writings every single rule applied to me.

Verb problems and parallelism are my two flaws in writing out of the several topics Yogada talked about. Now after reading this article and all of the practicing we've done in class my grammar will be improved but not perfect, yet.
