History - Examples of Technological Advancements in World War II
As history changes, there comes many more modern destruction and well as rise in production of many different kind of weapons. These weapons with their technology are more capable of doing more massive destruction and technology has evolved as well as weapons which made weapons more dangerous and better for the modern age. With inventions comes with massive guns for more destruction and more power for the future. One of these inventions was the tank in World War I that was called Plan 1919 which was used by the British. Also, Germany's superior mobility technologies also included aircraft and tanks.
Debate on legalizing and not legalizing Marijuana- Wednesday
In a recent debate I had in class last week Wednesday we focused on legalizing marijuana and not legalizing marijuana. My group was selected to do Anti-marijuana discussion on Wednesday where we had to come up with ideas about why legalizing marijuana would be negative and why legalizing marijuana would make a positive impact in the society. The reasons why marijuana should not be legalized is because it causes many people to have depression, psychological, and addiction problems with marijuana. Also, it will cause people to have psychological, brain, bad judgements,and lack in development problems. It will make you very addicted in doing marijuana a lot. In recreational uses it will have negative affects as well and the medical affects on the society. How this would later on have an influence on the later generation who will want use marijuana for their pleasure. Beside all the negative affects there are also positive affects where there are many different types of plants for marijuana. Also with marijuana you could use it for industrial purposes which makes bibles and other resources along with it. On a daily basis with marijuana you tend to get very addicted that you couldn't do without it for a day or so. Marijuana has a lot of good in terms of the great cause it can do for medical use like for a lot of treatments in medical centers and other places that can make everyone think about marijuana in a different way as a drug. But marijuana can have a long term positive effect if many people can see it from this point of view rather than being so negative about the use of marijuana. There have been a lot of research about the positive and negative impacts so far in many research centers.
Gordon Brown: Wiring a web for global good
http://www.ted.com/talks/gordon_brown?language=en#t-645820
In this video about many different global issues we are facing, Gordon Brown presents by showing everyone illustrations about how kids in other countries are suffering and how they are mistreated. I believe its very sad that no one has stand up for their rights for kids who are in poverty, being shot, standing up for what is right and so on. Gordon talks about how no one is showing concern for what is needed and how much people are blind in not seeing what is happening around us in circles. Also, how these events that we are encountering are going in circles that no one is not taking action for what is right for what is not wrong to do. It doesn't matter what race you are and what religion you are but we are a union who are trying to help for a better global world. No one deserves to be visible to the truths of the events that are occurring because of modern use of the internet is very fast to see everything that is global now. People are the most important is taking their opinions to the public and sharing their ideas through the modern communication because its the best way for the government to see. Also, many people have blog database where they to get talk about their reactions and ideas about issues they might have to publicize. The modern age has come with great technological innovations since a century ago when the first slaves came during the slave trade period, people who didn't had the rights to vote, and the civil rights movement. This was a very interesting video to learn how many people can be influence by this Ted talk by Gordon Brown on global issues and making the internet a very good tool to use for the better of the world.

Jonathan Haidt: How common threats can make (political) ground
\http://www.ted.com/talks/jonathan_haidt_how_common_threats_can_make_common_political_ground#t-489949
In Ted video I was watching, I believe that this is true because Jonathan talks about what would happen if an asteroid hits the Earth now if people will forget their differences. If people will get a long with each other and could work together. Also, if global warming increases based on a graph from a scientist and if the temperature keeps increasing in the next half century what would take shape on earth. He explains that low land will no longer exist like parts of Florida will sink to the bottom of ocean that the sea level will rise. Everyone needs to understand the importance of solving these problems of the world and where are we coming from in terms of observing problems like these we will see. Also, Jonathan talks how if we don't get a long in this world then how will we get a long and if we don't then many things will be separated. Then there will always be opposite issues with of a lot parties, religions, political issues, geographical issues, and other issues we could talk about. I believe that this is a common threat everyone has in them. It doesn't matter the ethnicity but will we ever again see the light of the opposite things that won't get a long never again but has to be voted on for reasons.

History:The Means of Destruction
One of the readings I was asked to read for my FCIQ 101 class was " The Means of Destruction" which was about the history of the twentieth century, which talks about how technology has shaped this world through the use of technology and science. I believed that this was very true that technology is involved in massive weapons of destruction, wars, and many famous scientist at work in helping these type of events in being successful. Also, technology has helped both the U.S and Europe at the time in creating many new technology innovations such as the machine guns, atomic bombs by scientists, tanks,air crafts, and poison gases. Both sides were trying to be competitive in many innovation so a side could forfeit from the war to see which side had the best weapons of mass destruction in history. Also, which country in WWII would go down in history name for their leaders and how technology could cause such chaos in World Wars with human beings handling this type of high destruction. I was very intrigued how the technological innovations of many weapons had a very important role between the two opposite sides. Most of these innovations military had a very major part in fighting the war in support of a lot of ammunition. Many scientist worked on nuclear weapons and bombs with a lot of funds from the government in the use of science in this part. As well as making a weapon where it will devastate the opposite side more was the key. During this century it had a major turn in its technological innovations for a war which made it into a factory instead as being an actual country.

Sociology
In one of my readings "Freaks, Greeks, and Cool Kids" talks about how teenagers are in terms of the social society we are living in. It talks about status which is the accumulation approval and disapproval that people expresses towards people, groups, or objects. Sociology is the study of the human development and mind. What I was reading in the article about status is that many teenagers talks about their physical appearance of males, how someone that is physically fit can have a major role and can attract attention towards fellow classmates. Many of these attribute has certain dominance with the power they can posses in these kind of environments. Also, females attribute power like the way they dress, how beautiful they can look could have its own power by attracting many other students towards them. It is like having their own power in a certain position in the environment or power in that place they are located at that certain time. I believed that all this is very true in many of the high schools I have seen or been to in many areas in New York. I strongly agree about how teenagers are and how they spend their parents money have a major impact in the country's economy.
In an article I had to read for class was " Why Poor Students Struggle" where many low income students were quitting or stopping to go to school because of how expensive these private college's can be. Also, how if there is a paper work that has been changed in your parents income can lead to less financial aid for you, where money have to come out of your packet or in worse cases you have to quit and find a job. I believe when you move to a different location for a different college you try to get assimulated because you are foreign to the location and major factors have to be taking into accountant as a student from out of state or either international. This separates many major gaps between the wealth of many people and the different economic classes we have. I believe its the separation of students from their own cities that has been affecting many of the students that goes far from home. Its not that they could not do the school work because of how they are thinking when they come from a different environment. I could relate especially moving from South America to North America was a very big change in my life as a child. I was very confuse why I was here? If my life will ever be the same as back home from my home country Guyana?

Wade Davis: The worldwide web of belief and ritual
http://www.ted.com/talks/wade_davis_on_the_worldwide_web_of_belief_and_ritual#t-9315
In this video Wade Davis talks about the culture around us and the Neolithic people from thousands of years ago. How society has changed and how many people view many cultures around us? Many people have culture options how we navigate the world. What is the purpose people around the world view many cultures and their life styles? Also, how Wade Davis talks about many cultures and countries he have visited. He talks about what they do and their rigorous rituals they have to perform compared to our's. He talks about Peru rituals, where one person would have climb thousands of feet above ground and back on to the sea level for the whole day. Testing your endurance and physical abilities during these rituals, where you sacrifice a part of you for a more better person you come out as.

Angela Lee Duckworth: The key to success? Grit
http://www.ted.com/talks/angela_lee_duckworth_the_key_to_success_grit#t-78737
In this video a middle school teacher, Angel Duckworth talks about teaching, where teaching is very demanding in almost every area in our society. I believed this is very true and how most students can be smart in her class in most part of her teaching career as a math teacher. But what I found out from this video that most of the smartest students don't have a great IQ score and how these students are not performing the way they are suppose to. In our findings she said we need to find ways how we could motivate our students more and how to make them better in school and in life. Then the students we are surprise to see that don't perform well can also learn from their mistakes through many different motivation process. Then many students would stay through out their education career and how long would it take them to do that. This is very intriguing to me because I had never thought of something like this and how it reflects me as a NYIT student. The thought of knowing which people would stay the most doing their jobs, working under the most worse areas, how these kind of people would change the students there, and for how long many of these people will stay in many of their occupations. I had never thought someone in a video would ask these questions which people are the most successful? Is it the people who stay throughout their company who they work for and who stay through out their high school and college career upon graduation. Are they the most successful and is it the key to many people success in the society we live in?

Week 3 : Sociology, Technology
In this part of the class we discuss what was Sociology and how it's related to our daily lives. Sociology is the study of human social relationships and institutions. Sociology is a very diverse in terms of what kind of subjects we all are talking about including the society around of us. We discuss how technology is affecting the society we are living in. I could relate because we were asked to read an article " Is Google Making Us Stupid" I believe it has impacted most of us in a negative way and a positive way because we can choose to abuse its overall power of Google. The positive affects are if you can not find what you are looking for then it is your last resource which we use everyday. Its a tool what we could use nearly for anything that is concerning our minds and what we can not find out any other way. Then there are times when technology affects your total health, eye sights, being lazy in the use of technology verses doing things manually because its much faster now.
We had a debate where one team had the positive affects of technology versus the negative affects of technology in our daily lives. How advancements in technology have made equipments lighter and portable with full computing capabilities such as calculators, calendars, notepads, dictionary, textbooks, and encyclopedia. Also, the negative part is the privacy when messaging on any social media websites such as facebook, twitter, and instagram. Governments will have these information in their data base once it has been posted out there. Then there's location when you message someone you could actually see where they are at that very moment if you choose to make your location available publicly. But technology overall will always have its good parts in them going against the negative part of technology in today society. First of all using technology is everywhere like using the subway metro cards, smart phones being used every where. Making purchases on your phone in many stores and many other innovations.
In one of my previous work, I had to present a persuasive advertisement and I picked this drinking & driving ad where it showed a very strong persuasive image. It almost had me fool in this image because it portrayed a very strong focus of what it was trying to show. Also, there are many consequences and dangerous pathways this ad is showing to us. It is actually telling us the actual image you will see when you decide to drink and drive on the road as soon you enter any type of car.
This is a very effective persuasive ad because its a visual of what you will see when someone drinks and drive. It shows roads that are twisted with curves that looks like a roller coaster and how this would go in this case but its going to be the driver who is drinking. Also, the road is showing the other roads that is collided with one another. It shows a complex picture of how the road direction can lead to a very dangerous pathway to your future and life.
Fallacy
http://ed.ted.com/on/tBmicW2I
This video made me think how fallacy can be presented in the society. How it was presented in many paintings, sculptures, and other work of art. If it was showing a fake image to our face or when we are trying to describe them. I believe fallacies made you think beyond what you can understand and look very carefully when you are observing many of these things. The video shows different types of fallacies that we are not seeing and why it was very important to know. Also, how false most fallacies could be and true too because many people will have a difficult time in identifying fallacies, even if they don't know that they are doing it.

This was a very interesting video when I watched it because it talks about the logical fallacy, when it can be either true or false. Also, this video made me understand what a logical fallacy is by the video giving an example like 1+2=3 or it could say 1+2=1 which is a false logical fallacy.

Logic
In this topic I learned what a fallacy is and the meaning of what a fallacy is. The definition of a fallacy is a statement that does not have logic behind the reasoning of the statement. But most of these statements in most readings, newspaper, and in the news are either true or false depending how it is presented to you. It has to reveal a lack in the reasoning of the logic. There are different types of fallacies and there are two types the first one is a formal fallacy and the second is a
substantive fallacy. Most articles has a formal fallacies which was easier to identify which has inappropriate connections are failures of logical connections these articles are trying to make.
The other fallacy is substantive which is the inappropriate connections involve reliance on some very general unjustified assumptions or inferences. This fallacy is probably the more difficult ones because I was having problem myself on how to identify a substantive fallacy in one of my many articles I was reading . I had no clue which statement was a substantive statement in one of the articles I printed out from one of the newspaper websites I was on.

1. Critical Thinking
I believed that critical thinking is the use of just thinking beyond the knowledge of what you can produce but the other factors that we all can process through out our minds alone. Also, it is the knowledge you can expand on the topic that you are currently trying to incorporate into your mind and your physical being that shows you are capable of understanding the type of difficult reading you can understand. Critical thinking is a process that leads us to more questions, that leads to more discussions, engaging the audience, carefully reading beyond what the reading produces, and talks about a more wider ideas and issues around all of us. Its proposing to a greater cause to not only the reader but a wider range of ideas that surrounds everyone. Also, what I also said about what critical thinking is that the knowledge you have and could expand on the topic on hand. It is based on your personal experiences, social experiences that questions if you can answer fully enough through the process of skills you can acquire through synthesizing many of the text you read in your everyday life. If you you can fully think more about these type of questions and can base it on your own answers then you can fully think critically. Critical thinking is a broad skills that can be incorporated in various subjects that can posses various answers for different subjects.
It is based on your personal experiences, questions we all can answer fully, thinking beyond the questions at hand of the time, and based it on your own experiences. Then I believe you can think critically based on what else you can produce throughout your own experiences from the past. Critical thinking is also based on how you can produce a good quality question where many believe they can not answer but actually could do it. A good question is when you can answer but can expand more about it and also question is not just a yes or no question. It is where you can elaborate your answers into complex answers on the question and base it on your own experiences you may concentrate on. These examples are what do you think about this certain topic and what are the main points or sub points in this passage? It is going beyond the text where you can actually make connections based on your life time experiences. Also, it is expressing many of your answers in different ways rather than the answers you can directly get from the text. It is with this skill that you connect the text with many of the disciplines you have learned into your life, so you can relate this to your own personal experience.
