A summary with a response

 
Creativity Disappearing?

               Ted conferences has a video of a man Sir ken Robinson which is where he discusses if schools are killing creativity. He states there are three themes and the first is the extraordinary of students creativity. Second is the students put it in a place but have no idea where it is. FInally, third is how extraordinary the childrens capacity are. Robinson says “All kids have talent” but its the way they are expressing them. Adults believe dancing and singing with get you know where. That the students are incapable of making it to the big time. The teachers in school are having the students focus on careers that will make them money. Instead of teaching from the waist down teachers are teaching from the waist up. Students are getting pushed in a particular way and people do not even know what the future holds. They have a general idea but it can change in the blink of an eye.

               I agree with Sir Kin Robinson that "students get educated out of creativity"because the adults believe that they should be pushed towards something that will bring them sucess with money. In actuallity anything can give you sucess if you decide to put your mind to it. It would be hard but if someone is willing or is born to do so, they will succeed.

Why am I here at SCCC



Why Am I Here?
 
 
 
                     I never had a real college in mind when i was in high school. My mother was set on me going to SCCC because it was cheaper and i was not to far away from home. I've always wanted to go out on my own but i did not even have a major picked out until the end of the summer. I kept changing my mind left and right. My twin sister had her mind set on Johnson and Whales in rode island to participate in the culinary department but of course my mother said no to her. Yes, she is eighteen and can make her own decisions but were just not use to saying no to her. After her first two years she will attend Johnson and Whales. So we both ended up going to SCCC. For her it was because mother did not want her to leave and for me i am just not sure what i want to do with my life. My major is criminal Justice to go in the Field of computer forensics or Juvenile system and i am just seeing how it works out. I like it but i think i am going to minor in something as well. Which that is the great thing about college you don't have to stop at one thing. We can chose what we want to be in our life and SCCC is bringing me to that point. To make the most important decision in my life. So the reason I am here is to find myself before i move further away from home.

Plagiarism Lines Blur for Students in Digital Age

 
 
 
"Plagiarism Lines Blur for Students in Digital Age"
 
 
 
 
"Plagiarism Lines Blur for Students in Digital Age", Trip Gabriel suggest that students might not know how to reference authors of the article they have found for their paper. Some people do not even know what plagiarism is and some people do not even realize they are doing it. Then again their are people who know that they are doing it and they dont care until they get caught. Students in a university can get kicked out for plagarising. Plagarism is a serious affence and some people do not even know about it.
