Snooze

Yes, I currently use my cell phone to make decisions throughout the day.  For example, when I wake up my cell phone alarm clock sounds and I decide how much time I have to hit snooze before class.  I have used my cell phone to decide when to meet a friend at a certain place by text messaging.  My coaches often send text messages last minute to meet at certain places at specific times.  Without my cell phone I would lose track of time and I would not be able to contact any of my peers for information throughout the day.

I should have kept it

Over this past weekend, regarding the social media, my friends and I got together and had a few things to eat and drink.  Prior to the get together my friend volunteered to purchase the drinks and for myself to reimburse the cover charge.  As I agreed my friend and I sat down and enjoyed the football game and he had thought I had paid him back and everything was even.  When I noticed he did not have a concern for the money I confronted him and told him if it was anyone else I would have kept the money and spent it on myself.  Although the value of the situation was not of value of many ethical decisions. I feel a honest track history of ethical situations can only be beneficial for ethical decisions in the future no matter the value.

18th Standing Strong

    The American Nation does not value education as much as other Nations, such as South Korea and Japan.  United States fall in 18th place out of 24 Nations.  The problem begins with a foundation as a baby learning from your parents and it is remained constant by less educated teachers teaching the youth. CBS news published an article titled "Poor Marks for U.S. Educational System".
    The CBS reporter states "Learning begins at birth" and is fostered by "a loving, secure, stimulating environment."  I agree with this statement because the parents initiate and influence the learning process for their children throughout nurture and secure teachings gaining trust and knowledge.
    Aslo, I believe the teachers in the United States provide a negative influence due to pressure caused from parent phone calls ensuring their child receives a good grade.  These negative influences cause a viscous cycle of less educated teachers teaching the youth, which produces a higher population of less educated teachers, who than teaches the youth. 
    American education is skewed, but can be positively influenced by producing free pre primary education, teachers with advanced degrees, and positive media on education.
