Social Media




   "STUDENTS ARE GROWING UP ON A DIGITAL PLAYGROUND AND NO ONE IS ON RECESS DUTY."  

What does this quote mean to you? For me this quote means that every student is starting to revolve around social media. At school every student is starting to play on their phones or laptops, some of them are actually starting to download video games on their laptops to play with them. "No one is on recess duty" shows that teachers are having easier times being at recess duty, since all students stopped playing in playgrounds but instead on their phones. At the earlier times teachers hated being on recess duty because they had to control the students and help them to not get hurt. I think educators need to try and help out students and tell them the real benefits of being a live and having time to spend on playgrounds. As a student, I think I have to stop using my phone as many times as I do now and start having fun outdoors.

Who was Socrates? What is the Socratic method?

Who was Socrates? What is the Socratic method? Socrates was a philosopher known as "the father of philosophy". He was known to teach, yet he only taught 3 students because it was in the old ages. Socrates didn't write anything down and all the information we know now are from the students he taught before. Socrates was a classical Greek philosopher credited as one of the founders of Western philosophy, and as being the first moral philosopher, of the Western ethical tradition of thought. Socrates wasn't only known for philosophy but known for Greek Western Philosophy. He was also the first moral philosopher.  Socrates didn't give up philosophy even after he was given a death sentence. He was hated by everyone in his town because of his sayings. He believed that only the people who believe they don't know are the intelligent ones. " The only true wisdom is in knowing that you know nothing" -- a quote that Socrates used to tell Plato and the 2 ...

Sameness

                                                                         Sameness        Sameness has a meaning of lack of variety, the quality of being the same; having the same uniform. Having sameness in one's school is to have people dressing up the same son they can impress each other and act like they are all the same. An example of a haircut that really identifies sameness in haircuts is the  High Fade plus Loose Pompadour hairstyle. I think people are afraid to be different than each other and show who they really are, maybe its because they think people are going to judge them or something.  For girls, they're all starting to cut their hair short and make it wavy so they can all look the same.

The Danger of a Single Story - TedTalk

  The Danger of a Single Story       This TedTalk is about a girl from Nigeria, who has lived there up until she had to leave home to study abroad in the US. She talks about how she used to judge her new house boy because the only image she had of him was that he was poor. Then, when she went to college in the US, her roommate judged her based off of the idea that she is from Nigeria. However, as she got to know her, the roommate then realized that they have a lot of similarities.      Relating why she was telling these stories, she focuses on the fact that a single/ one sided story  isn't going to lead to anything throughout the whole TedTalk. In my opinion, it is exactly like a story with different perspectives. Listening to only one side of a story, is as useless as having just one pair of a shoe. For example. the roommate was only listening to what she was hearing from the people around her, and seeing on social media. These were all a si...
