Essay #4 idea

For my last essay i decided i wanted to write about why college girls should take a self defense class. Interest: I am very interested in this topic. I strongly believe that this is a VERY important subject. Brevity: To limit my subject matter i am going to attempt to keep it to college women and not just women in general. Information: There is a lot of informatio about this subject matter. I can look up and find information about college women and how they are assulted or somthing bad like that happens to them. Question: There a parts to my topic that can be seen as a double side. Like what is the point because a girl is not going to be able to remeber everything that should be done in certain cituations. However, you could say that it is worth at least having a plan.

My subculture views outsiders in a good light. Outsiders are accepted and they do not seem to be worried about outsiders, they are more welcoming.
What motivates them are the children that they teach everyday and the children that they want to help and teach them to learn and thrive in school and in life. To teach and just do what they love is what also motivates them to go to work everyday.
The group gathers everyday at the elementary and high school in which they work at also you can break it down further and say that they gather at the classrooms that they keep.
The groups social hierarchy and how it is organized and maintained by a way of power. This would be like there is a principal and vice principal. Also there are the nurse, councilors and the office workers at the school, and of course there has to be the teachers.
For my subculture there is no form of initiation but there is the thing where the new teachers go through a sense of training and getting used to the school also there is the way that you can greet your new students and be ready for the new school year and all the preparation that that needs like training and just getting your room together.

The subculture that I am going to study for my group is going to be daycare providers. The group does feel a sense of identification with its members because they are all there for a specific reason, to take care of the kids, whether they like each other or not that is their specific goal for being wherever they are. Their rituals and belief for belonging is going to be the fact that they are at the daycare to do their job and to take care of the children that have been put in their care. They do share a common language and that is going to be a more soothing and soft tone of voice when they are talking to the kids and they are going to watch what they say around the children and also they are going to use a more stronger tone when they are talking to children that are getting in trouble and did something wrong. Do they share an interest in certain artifacts… I would say the children, as I said before, because this is their job to take care of them and teach them things throughout the day and they could have a similar interest in the love for children and taking care of them.

The themes that seem to reoccur through my essay is how land lines really do not have as much of a use anymore compared to other phone that we use today..well cell phones. The themes that surprised me was the fact that so many people have really given up in cell phones and that people in America really do not use land lines at all how they used to. I think that the themes are developed enough through my essay as this is what my paper is about to prove that land lines are really not going to be around for that much longer. I was surprised that so many people do not have land lines any more and when I sat and thought about it I realized that my family too did not use their land lines anymore. I could develop and make them broader and go into more detail about the fact that no one really uses the land lines anymore also I would like to throw in more details and stats that show the fact that they really are disappearing and losing their importance. I think that I have the examples of personal and factual information in good spots through the paper but I might want to add more information like personal stories in other parts of the paragraphs. I do not think that there really is any place that needs to have to be deleted due to repetition and I think I have the paragraphs pretty well organized I just need to expand them some more.

Research paper - research

So researching my topic was harder then i thought it was going to be and has me definatley retinking what i want to write about. It took me a while to really get a good narrow search about my topic, which really surprised me since i thought it would be a very typical one for people to write about. It was hard for me because i am not good at looking up things at all, even on google. So it took me a while to find anything, however, when i did find sources they were very interesting and i had a good group to pick stuff out of. Then it became easier the more i used the diferent search engins and the more time i spent on it.
This was a great tool for you to show us because now if i ever need anything for any of my classes i can come back and use this. I liked it becaus, as you showed in class, i can get a million different types of information. LIke from magazines and journals and newspapers which help give me ideas to write about and i like the different styles that they are written in, this experience has definatley opened doors for me and i can continue to look up usefull information from the comfort of my room or the library, whatever comes first. But i definatley think that this research experience was worth it because now i can use this whenver i need to find sources for my papers!

Cell Phone Domination!

My topic is going to be the domination of the cell phone and the dissaperance of the land line. My question is going to be is it good that we are now able to be reached at all times no matter what instead of only when the person is home and is the cell phone as personal as it used to be since everyone can always reach you? Yes, this is researchable as there are many people who do not think that the phone is as personal as it used to be. I am interested in this because this does involve me since i could never see myself with out a cell phone! I do not think that it is a bad thing to always have your phone and have people always be able to reach you, most if the time. However, i do think that it has lost a sense of personal feel to it though.

Topic for Essay #2

My topic for the next essay is going to be about land lines vs. cell phones and how land lines are slowly being erased from the world as we know it as the cell phone continues to take over. My question is: is it good that we can be reached at all times? This is researchable on both sides by looking at the plus sides and negitve sides of both being able to be reached at all times and not being able to be reached at all times.
