Effort=Success

In the fall of 2014, the public education system in America served about 49.8 million students in primary and secondary schools.  These students will go on to serve in various roles in society based on the choices they make throughout their life.   The impact that their educators have on them will drastically affect the outcome and success of the children of America and will ultimately effect the change that America will have whether it is positive or negative. Children are known to believe and listen to what they are told by people that they believe truly care about them and work hard for them.  However, in some places in America some teachers just do not put forth the effort that the students deserve and causes the students to suffer.  When an educator doesn't give the students the effort necessary it can affect the students’ performance in the class and their works legitimacy.

Students react to the emotions and appearance of the person that they are learning from, when a teacher noticeably isn't giving their students 100% of their effort their lessons are worthless.  The student will not fully grasp what they're listening to and will under perform on the necessary assessments they are given.  A teacher is not putting forth effort their full effort and expecting their students to succeed it is like attempting to watch TV and not plugging it into a proper power source.  You know what the TV (student) is capable of; however, you are not providing it with the proper power source (knowledge).  When a student isn't well prepared for a class due to the lack of effort they must work harder in that class to attempt not to fail, this can lead to less work achieved in the other classes they take.  This will also affect the legitimacy of the work completed and turned in. The lack of time students have due to the decreased effort from one teacher can lead them to turn to cheating on assignments.  Students will turn to cheating because they believe that is their only way to keep up in classes that they aren't able to sufficiently study for.

The success of the children in America will drastically affect the success or failure of this country.  It is the responsibility of the educator to provide the students with the proper knowledge to succeed throughout their life.  When a teacher does not do that it is like sending a soldier out to fight against an army with nothing but his own bare hands.  The effort a teacher puts forth drastically affects the success of the children in America.

War

Views

In Tim Hetherington's documentary, Restrepo, Tim doesn't particularly take a stance on war.  Tim says that his film wasn't intended to be political; however, everything that humans do on a day-to-day basis is political. The meaning of "Everything we do is political" is a justifiable statement in the world we live in today.  The world we live in today is full of judging and critiquing every moment of each and everyday.  Tim's meaning in this statement is justifiable and 100% correct.  Everything that a person does and says will be critiqued by every person that interacts with them.  This person isn't intending for everyone to judge them and wonder about them, it is just basic human instinct.  Everything someone wears, says, does, and believes is considered political whether it is intentional or not.  Tim Hetherington does not intend to make this a political film about his stance on war; however, Tim understands that this will be considered political by some of his audience.

Tim Hetherington asserts a few different messages through the portrayal of his film Restrepo.  Tim does however, have one key message that he portrays throughout the novel.  Tim's central message in Restrepo is to effectively show how a soldier lives and their experiences while they are on deployment in hostile territory.  Tim emphasis on the fact that his does not intend to portray any political aspects in this novel, even if his audiences political views on war are effected.  This film is political however in the fact that it can effect the stance the audience currently has on war.  Tim does not intentionally do it by taking a particular stance however he indirectly supports it by showing and promoting a film about war.  This impacts the audiences views regardless of it is the negative or positive view on war by the audience.  Tim did not intend for this film to be political; however, I believe he would have wanted this to negatively promote war.

An "Ordinary" Keyboard

From a glance you would assume that this is just a dull, boring, and unattractive keyboard.  However, this is not just a dull, boring, and unattractive keyboard.  This keyboard provides many unique functions that allow for it to complete many different tasks when paired with a computer operation system.  This is in fact a Dell QWERTY keyboard.  This keyboard is black with white lettering's similar to that of chalkboard.  This Keyboard is your hand.  This keyboard writes, creates, and invents different pieces of work while working through the "brain" of the computer operating system.  A keyboard has more accessories than a hand, a keyboard has multiple extensions or "fingers" that can do work for it.  A keyboard comes with 104 "fingers" which is a greater than that of a human hand.  This means that a keyboard could have more uses than an ordinary human hand.  This keyboard also has the unique feature similar to the human middle finger in then space bar.  The space bar is the largest key on all keyboards, Dell or not.  The space bar allows for to control to put a break or pause into anything that they are typing.  This unique feature is similar to putting a breath in between each word that a human speaks.  The human hand cannot apply such a pause or break similar to that of the space bar.

 

Introduction

This is a blog that will come from my view and interpretation of literature and current events I come across as the year progresses.  This blog will be interesting and will vary post to post.  Some post may be more interesting than others, but I intend to inform the viewers of the different topics I come across throughout the year.  One of the main fears I have with doing a blog is that I will not be able to intrigue the audience of this blog.  This is my first blog ever and it will be a learning process for me.

I am very interested in sports and tend to spend a majority of my free time watching a lot of sporting events that are on television.  The name of this blog originates from my love of sports and the excitement that they bring.  A series of games is played in a majority of sports playoffs systems and is things that will happen one after another.  In this particular case this will be a series of blogs with posts being made one after another. Hopefully it will be insightful and entertaining!
