WOW

We were suppose to look at two Holocaust links but i looked at them all. They were very interesting and quite horrible. The events that occurred were horrendous and should not have occurred. I believe some of these events could have been prevented if only Americans would have intervened and put aside their bias. The pictures i saw of Jews digging their own graves was horrible. The amount of death that Holocaust produced makes you question what evil man is capable of doing. In my opinion, the Holocaust is one of the most evil and devastating period in modern history.

Holocaust

I thought the movie was pretty interesting. It was sad how much the Jewish community was disliked. The anti immigration laws were very harsh and in my opinion if changed could have saved a lot of lifes. I learned a lot from this film, at times it was boring, but overall it was good.

Better Writer

I think what makes a good writer is someone who can convey their thoughts into something a reader can connect with. That is something i am learning to do, I cannot clearly portray my ideas on paper. I do have many ideas and i think that helps me be a good writer.

Outline of my blogggggg

My first paragraph is going to consist of my thesis and my view on the subject of prescription pills and children.

The body paragraphs will be stating facts and some opinions about the use and misuse of prescription pills on children. Also ill state the affects and problems that occur in children because of this and these problems that roll over into adulthood.

I will conclude the paper on reviewing the facts and my stance.

Something i was wondering about.

well im up pretty early. I was wondering after looking through a few of my fellow classmates' blogs that why don't you guys update your profiles and whatnot. I know most of you have myspaces, so you should put that on your profile. For real, thats a really good way to communicate. So if you read this and you have myspace, let me get that link :)

Rough Thesis

As problems seem to occur more and more often in children, such as ADD and ADHD, more and more pills are being prescriped. With the hundreds of changes a child goes through as they grow and develop, these pills are actually disabling these children in the long run.


this is very rough, tell me what you think.
comments are greatly appreciated.

My coooool research plan

I will start by searching the Internet on my topic and see what basis i can start on. On the Internet i will use legitimate websites and gain a solid backround. my second place to look would be on the online databases to fill in the details for my paper. The last spot would be to read articles and books on my topic to further my knowledge on my topic. Then i will put my paper together with help with all these sources but first i will brainstorm on paper. brainstorming always seems to help let my paper flow more naturally.

Topics for Research

1. An interesting topic for me is gangs. I think gangs are a big part of society now and they influence a lot now. A good question is how is gang violence affecting families? and what makes a gang such a strong unit?

2. I think prescription pills is a really interesting topic. So many people are taking them for almost everything. Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, just a small number of conditions "treated" by pills.

How is prescription pills affecting child developtment?

Steven's intro blog

Hi, My name is Steven James Rodgers. I graduated Redlands East Valley High School in 2008. I am 18 years of age and in about two months i will be turning 19. I was employed at a retirement home, but recently i was fired for no real reason. I'm now on the job hunt again if anyone knows of a good job that is hiring, let me know :D. I decided to attend Crafton Hills College for two reasons; one being i slacked off in my senior year and the other being i really don't know what my major is going to be. I like to do many things such as crazy, spontaneous things. To go more into detail; I like to hang out, chill, weight train, and whatever as long as its fun. Oh and i love meeting new people and doing new things, so feel free to come and talk to me.
