WEEK 8 ASSIGNMENT

1. What is the topic of the article? The topic of the article is on campus violence.


2. What is the main idea of the article? The main idea of the article is to find better ways of making people feel safer and secure on campus. They have better security.
For a long time , colleges and universities will take the law-and –order approach and will make students and professors feel safer. You cant
make college building into safe hazards.


3. Some early warning signs of if a student may become violent would be a person who I socially isolated, low self esteem and do not take criticism very well.


4. On this college campus I only see security in the morning. Anybody can walk on campus and do anything. The don not even ask for identification. If you do see security its only like one or two around. I don’t think they do their job right. We need to get stricter security. For example they could have a security stop before anyone drives in the school like oldwestbury.

A HIGH COST OF HAVING FUN

I USED THE STRATEGIES THAT WE LEARNED IN CLASS TO UNDERSTAND THE ESSAY. I SAT ON THE FLOOR TO READ IT SO THAT I WOULDNT FALL ASLEEP. I ALSO UNDERLINED THINGS THAT WERE IMPORTANT. I THINK THAT THEY SHOULD CHARGE SUCH HIGH PRICES. BUT ITS A WAY TO MAKE GOOD MONEY OFF YOUR FANS.I AGREE WITH THE AUTHOR WHEN HE SAID THAT SPONSORS SHOULD GET CHARGED A LOT MORE IF THEY WANT TO SHOW THEIR LOGO ON THEIR BILLBOARDS

SELF INTRODUCTION

My self introduction.... My name is Serena Yvonne Talley. I was born Friday April 27, 1990 at 11:20am in Brooklyn New York at Coney Island Hospital. I reside in Bay Shore, Long island. Recently I graduated from Brentwood Sonderling high school. I am the youngest sibling of three. I have twin brothers who are 21 and twin nephews who were born September 11 of last year. I want to attend New York Institute of Technology so that I can major in mass communications. I want to become a film director. I have an outgoing personality. I can be both loud and quiet. Sometimes you cannot get me to stop talking. I am the type of person that likes to disagree a lot. I can come up with explanations to explain things to kids like for an example: why is the grass green? My response to a little child about five years old would be that the blue sky and the yellow sun reflect off each other and when it hits the ground it creates the color green. I love kids. One day in the future I am going to have some of my own running around.

My learning style is always hands on material. If you show me something rather than just tell me I will learn a lot faster than others.
