Prompt 4

Thanks to the internet, people have more access to more information than any other time in history. People can instantly find information on almost any topic in the time it takes to type a couple of words and click a mouse. But we often know so little about the source of this information, including its reliability and its qualifications of the person who wrote it. If we don't know its source, information is not much good to us.

Assignment:  

                     Write and answer the following questions

1. Do people need to know the source of any information before they use it? You do need to know the source of information before you use it because what if the source is wrong, or the source came from people who choose the wrong. 
2. Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations. 

Point of View

Do you find answers to your homework on the internet or on the textbooks? What we all need to do is look for the answers in everything. The reason why is because sometimes the internet can be false sometimes the textbooks can be false, or a friend or a person telling you the answer can be false. Best thing to do is to check your source.

          When you need help on homework you should find resources to help you but don't just find one look for all of them and choose the best one that you think. You should use statement and reason, write your statement on one side, and write the reason on the other side. This will help you know if your source is good or bad. 

Many colleges now offer courses in which students study television programs, comic books, magazines, advertising, and other aspects of popular culture. Critics complain that schools should not replace serious literature and history courses with such fluff. they claim that courses in popular culture present material that is trivial and inconsequential. but the study of popular culture can be just as important, demanding, and instructive as the study of traditional subjects. 

What I think is that we should learn everything that humans learned from day one. If not others will be more educated, and will know what to do if something has to be done. We should learn how to hunt, cook, what chemicals are, what to eat what not to , we should learn everything just incase one day, the power goes out forever, we should not rely on technology. 

Grade Point Average

1. What does GPA stand for? GPA stands for grade point average. 
2. What does a GPA show? GPA shows you're points, education, how good you are doing. 
3. Why is GPA important? 

   GPA is important to me because, when i see my grades they motivate me to do better. So far i'm doing good. GPA gets us to know how we are doing and if we are doing our work or not. GPA is important because that how they keep record of us in class. GPA is important because when we get a job they look at our record and all of our grades. GPA is important because you need at least a 2.0 to be in a sport. The best is a 4.0 GPA. Right now at our school you need a 2.5 to be in the basketball team.  GPA Importance
