Politics (Week 5)

The political communities in the articles are very unhealthy. They are bashing on things in the government that can not be changed. They are making situations seem more dangerous and extreme than they really are. When communities like this make comments, write articles, and talk like this it has a negative impact on society. It manipulates the thoughts of others, and leads to less support of out government which runs our country. Instead of writing hateful articles, they should write articles more fact based and unbiased. They could still get their point across this way. To top it off, if they ended the article with ways to fix the problems instead of just stating them, then that would be a big help.

Roommate

Going into college there are many things that might be worrisome. My biggest worry however did not lie within the academic or athletic portion of school, but who I would be stuck living with for 3/4 of the year. While every student fills out a housing application to help them find a "best fit" roommate, compatibility is hard to determine on paper. Once the results came back all I had was a name and a phone number. Like anyone would in today's day and age, I got on social media and tried to figure out who this person was/is. I would not suggest looking to into this approach though. Like they say, don't judge a book by its cover. Also its probably not best to judge someone by a single quote. Luckily after all my worrying I got stuck with a great roommate. In fact all of my friends have had at least one complaint about theirs, but I was just stuck shaking my head and pretending to understand.

Goodbye

How do people do it? I have never been one to say goodbye. I am more of a see ya later kinda girl. Even when I know it truly is a goodbye moment I am always in denial and convince myself that at some point I will see someone again. Watching all the seniors prep for graduation helps me realize that their actually will be an end though, and I am definitely not ready for it. Everyone has big dreams and jobs that will take them all over the US. I mean I can't even be upset because I want to live in North Carolina. After graduation we all won't be 3 hours away, we will be like 10-15 hours away. How am I supposed to leave my closest friends that I practically lived with for four years goodbye, and I will see you every other year maybe if we are lucky? I am glad I am a freshman because the thought of this makes me sick to my stomach. I love my friends and saying goodbye just for the summer will be hard enough. Senior year, please come slowly.

Poverty and Its Effects on Community

Whitney Webb ENGL 125-H Lisa Crumit-Hancock April 26th, 2017 Poverty and Its Effects on Community There are many elements within a community that weaken the connections between the members. One of these elements is poverty, which affects a little over fourteen percent of americans, according to the 2013 US Census Bureau study. This poverty grows within the minorities of the population. Within the Black community 25.8 percent have fallen into this poverty line. Poverty within a community can lead to unhealthy qualities including unhealthy living situations, bad health decisions, and limited education. Every community has some sort of housing, the amount and quality of this housing is different among each community. Within the united states the housing in poverty stricken areas are normally made up of a large apartment style of housing, or a shelter for the homeless. These apartments are not typically well maintained because of the need to keep them cheap. The residents are...
