Week 3B - Offend Nobody
In the right of freedom of speech, it's easy to offend people. so we have to be careful what we say. but at the same time, people need to know the different opinions in the world whether they are offensive or not. when you're presenting a point that may be offensive, or any point for that matter, you need to be respectful to those listening. there is a way to tell your point of view without offending people more than is necessary. I guess we do have censorship in school because there are certain things we are expected to say and do without question. and in some things we aren't really allowed to give our opinion.
Week 2B - Nature vs. Nuture
It's hard to say which has more influence because your nature and your upbringing play a huge part in who you become. It's nature because you are born with natural talents and God has a purpose for you even before you're born. So the things you are naturally good at and enjoy are going to guide how you act and respond to things and where you go with your life. but then you have the influence of people around you and that changes how you act and respond to things because of how you were taught. and people around you tell you how to act and what to do with your life. i think that nature has the biggest impact, though, because there are lots of times that parents want their kids in a certain profession, but the kid decides to do what he/she enjoys naturally, not what the people around them want them to enjoy.
Week 1B - Must See TV!
If I was going to create a sitcom, I would try to make it more interesting than a lot of current ones. a lot of shows are all the same and all the same things happen. but that would be hard because there aren't many ideas that haven't already been tried. but I think I would make mine about a family. families usually have a lot of problems and there's a lot going on. that would keep the show interesting and appealing to a larger group of people since there are people of all ages in the show. I think I would set it in England. people would be interested in seeing a place besides the U.S. and it would give a setting different from what Americans see every day. and I would like to find some actors that are new and not too overdone to star so that i could start the show with it's own reputation, not the actors.
