False Reports

       Today in class we talked about false accusations made by reporters. We were given the prompt,” Was Abc right to suspend a reporter for the false Kobe report”. I answered yes, because that false report could have caused others unnecessary pain. A false report stated that Rich Fox was on the helicopter when it crashed. False reports can also cause the company to lose their credibility and business. People want to hear information from reliable sources , so they’re probably going to lose numerous supporters ,and viewers.

Premises

      Today in class Mr. Rease introduced us to premises. Premises are statements that an argument claims will induce or justify a conclusion. A premise can either be formal , or informal. We were given several examples for premises, and we had to distinguish between the two. This was actually not as difficult as I thought it was going to be. At the end of class we discussed the right answers, and many of my answers were correct.

Reason and Reasoning

     Today in class I learned about reason and reasoning. Reason is a logical statement that supports an individual’s claim. On the other hand reasoning is when an individual draws conclusions through the use of reason. I also learned that it is important that we use reason , and reasoning while arguing. Mr. Rease gave us many examples on how to use reason , and reasoning.

My Purpose

          I’ve haven’t come across my purpose one hundred percent, but I do have an idea of what it might be. I always find myself informing others about their health. My dad always tells my that I should be a doctor, but I could never picture it. I wouldn’t mind having a doctor’s salary, but that is not what I’m interested in. I want to help others live a healthier lifestyle, but that doesn’t mean I have to be a doctor. I have thought about being a personal trainer, or  a nutritionist.

Identity vs. Possession

        Today in class we talked about identity , and possession. We watched a short clip on what identity truly means. Identity is who a person , or thing is. Possession is the state of having , or owning something. Mr. Rease asked everyone to list things they possess .I listed my cellphone, dog, and all of my clothes. Although ,possession and identity are similar the two can be very cohesive. Many times when we go shopping for clothes ,we pick the clothes that fit our personality the best. The  way we present ourselves says a lot, or in other words it identifies us. At the same time we own the clothes we wear ,so the things we possess can tell more about us.

Class Discussion

      Today in class Mr. Rease gave the class very important ACT test taking tips. The tips were ,always use the process elimination, don’t spend to much time on one question, and make an educated guess if you are not sure of the answer. Mr. Rease has given us these tips in the previous semester, but many people had forgotten them. We also discussed the importance of vocational classes in schools. Some students aren’t going to attend college after high school, so it is very important that particular individual has a skill to fall back on. Many schools have vocational programs, but some schools don’t. I personally think every school should have at least 5 vocational programs , for each student to choose from.

Word Passages

          Today in class we discussed act reading passages. Mr. Rease gave every student in the class 15 minutes to read a passage and answer 12 questions. The passage was about the importance of having book clubs. I actually found this passage very Interesting, because in my spare time I enjoy going to the library. In the passage there were many pros, but there were also cons. One of the cons were some people might not agree on the same book, which isn’t a very good reason.On the other hand the pros outweighed the cons.
