Reflection on Cyber-Bullying

The world today has become so high- tech that it might be doing some dangers to our society. Cyber- Bulling has become very common in social media. Websites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr has given the ability to communicate with others not only face to face but seperatly as well. The problem with that is  when the bullying is occuring it can not only happen to a young kid in school but at home as well. The person then feels trapped and insecure. Cyber-bullying is something that can hurt a person's self-esteem and destroy their dignities. I am fully against Cyber-bullying because it has caused many suicides in the past and it is something people cannot play around with.

Chapter 8 Reflection

The six common thought pattern which is:
A. Illustrative
B. definition
C. Comparison/Contrast
D. Cause/Effect
E. Classification
F. Chronological order
I thought it was probably one of the useful patterns that i have seen yet. It pretty much gives you how to write an essay. There are specific ones that people pick to write an essay. I usually pick illustration, cause and effect, and chronological order. Not specifically in that order but thats what i use. The chapter was useful, especially for people that have trouble writing essays like me. 

Reflection on Body Piercings and Tattooing: Risks to Health

The story gives a good history on piercings and tattoos, which was new to me. The main reason why young people get piercings and tattoos is because it looks cool. Many do it to show someone they love or to have as a memory of someone. Personally, i dont have much concern about the hygene of tattoo places because i dont have many piercings other than the ones on my ears and i dont have any tattoos. It is understandable to inform the society about it but i think tattoos are a form of expressing who you are. Almost as a form of "art" as the story implied.

Chapter 5 Reflection

 
           Previewing and Brainstorming is what they mention in chapter five. Considering that I have already learned this during middle school it was another chapter of just reviewing what I've learned. The book in general, im assuming is just to review what we've learned and apply it in college. Articles and essays to preview one must look at the author's name, check the source of the article, and if there are no headings read the first sentence of the paragraph. I found that part interesting because i never looked at the author's name or the source, when reading an article. Overall, it was helpful knowing to find only the most important ideas in the material and note to see how they are organized.

Chapter 4 Reflection

                          Chapter four was definitely a lesson i have not learned. This chapter was very helpful because i always had trouble remembering vocabulary. I like how they used parts of words to figure out the meanings of words you dont know. The other subject they went over that i never knew was the dictionary. I always ignored most of what the entry contained. A very accessible chapter for the future.

Chapter 3 Reflection

                      While reading this section I learned that there are many clues to reading a textbook. There are tips such as context clues or definition clues to help one out with everything. Most of the stuff I already learned in middle school, but it was helpful to refresh on the topic. These clues will definitely help in the long run.

Chapter 2 Reflection

                           Most of the material i learned in this chapter i already knew. What i didnt know was that the author sat with students of a certain age group to help him write the textbook. He wrote the textbook in a way that would catch the students attention. He worked with students to find out what interested them when reading a textbook and what didnt. Most of the chapter was quite interesting, but i didnt think i needed to know any of it. Most of it i had already learned.

chapter 1 reflection

                             Chapter one was definitely a relief for me. I'm glad that there's a  book that explains everything a regular college student (like myself) goes through. Throughout this chapter i realized my learning styles which were auditory and visulation. I also learned tips on how to concentrate better when studying for a test or a quiz. College is a big change in any young adults life, so tips are always helpful.
