Bill 2 Reflection

To be perfectly honest my recollection of Comp 121 is a little foggy, i took the course roughly a year and a half ago and during my first semester and it was one of my first college level courses. From what i can recall it was a interesting and enjoyable, The professor Jacob Sherlock is no longer with the school, but was a professional writer along with a life-long lover and student of the written word. We regularly discussed current events and the class wide give and take of various ideas and viewpoints was truly enlightening and are easily amongst my most enjoyable and memorable college experiences. In particular i vibrantly recall a passionate debate on gun-control which was to be frank, dominated by a extremely Conservative former Army

My candidate, Barbara Comstock, is running for Congress of the U.S. House to represent the 10th Congressional District of Virginia. The most important responsibility for a congressman/congresswoman is to make laws for the United States. They prepare and consider legislation. Representatives are chosen for two-year terms and serve the people in a specific congressional district.

I believe that I am more Republican. Some of the biggest issues that are important to me are abortion, immigration and taxes. Even though my beliefs on abortion do not line up with that of republicans, I still generally side with their beliefs more. I believe in prochoice, I think that people should be safe when it comes to things like pregnancy but if they want to get an abortion, it is up to that person. The government should not be allowed to control what someone does with their body in this aspect. Immigration is another issue I find very important feel that if someone is here illegally, they should not be allowed to stay. I feel that immigration is ok as long as the person coming into the country does it right. America is a country of immigrants so of course our arm should be open to those who wish to live here. However, the moment they are here illegally and are not planning to legally be part of the country they should be deported. Finally, taxes are a somewhat important issue to me. I think that the very rich should have higher taxes since it makes more sense that they would have the money to pay for it. Those who do not make a lot a year should be minimally taxed so that they are able to pay their taxes each year.

The Unlikely Hero of Room 13b in my eyes is a stupendous book that expresses many emotions that eventually rubbed off onto me. Just to give a visual, this novel is about a group of OCD young adults that try to “get fixed”, as they say. In the meantime Chuck, the therapist for the bunch decides to make each one of the members to mentally become a superhero. Immediately as this project starts Robyn a new student chooses to be Robin as her superhero, and Adam another student who already knows they are soul mates decides to be Robyn’s Batman.

Although some of my opinions are neutral, I agree with the Republican Party most of the time. First of all, the Republican Party is against abortions. Personally, I believe that abortion is murder, regardless of whether the baby is developed into a human being. Opponents argue that rape victims must be able to abort their child, but they could give their baby to an orphanage. Others argue that giving birth can cause life-threatening complications for the mother. In this case, an abortion is merely killing an individual in order to save another individual, which is illegal. In addition to rape, Republicans are against illegal immigration. Legal immigration is one thing, but illegal immigrants benefit from living in America without paying taxes.

A text is the content in a message or any printed material. There are basic ways that are used in reading to make the learner gain, retain, and understand the content. For instance, one way is by applying the top, down, and bottom up strategy; which people use in their native language. Reading involves, previewing, predicting, skimming and scanning, guessing and paraphrasing (Tsai 120).

It is difficult to always side with one party however when forming my opinion on controversial topics in the United States I generally side with republicans. There are topics that democrats have better ideas on, but they are not many. Some of the most important issues today in America are drug use, education and same sex marriage, and republicans definitely have the right idea on those topics. There are many others in which they are correct, but those are some of the most important to me. As part of the youth of our generation, I find it exceedingly important to focus on what is in our nations best interest for the future, and when considering our options republicanism is a strongly advised and supported opinion.

Chris McCandless, the subject of Jon Krakauer in Into the Wild, was not insensible or ill-equipped, but rather he was going out into the wild to locate the genuine importance of life and to perceive what it resembled to live out in the wild all alone. Chris was an incredible good example for children the whole way across the nation; since he was attempting to experience his fantasy and do what he believed was appropriate in the wild and would not tune in to what anybody instructed him to do. Chris McCandless was an adoring and minding individual who esteemed for all creation and needed to make tracks in an opposite direction from the general public and live allowed to locate the significance of life.

The top three congress-people in the student congress, in my opinion were Justin Matrix, Josh Kramer, and Kennedy Obermeier. Justin had a very methodical speech and reasoning behind his support for his bill, as well as great answers to questions. Josh had very articulate questions that really stumped some of the other party members. He also gave us a very direct strategy for an easy win as long as everyone followed, but some chose not to. Kennedy impressed me with her organization and clear speaking. She also made the sessions go very smooth with her calm and composed demeanor.

Hamilton Vs Jefferson was one of my projects I was required to do in my history class by my teacher.Even though I was required to do this project,I thought that this was most enjoyable to do.My history teacher told us that the assignment was to describe Hamilton and Jefferson's political relationship and who thought what.Not just that,but we also had to write a fake rap battle between them explaining what they thought on the matter.That is what I did to get my A+ grade.

During this time DI worked on safety skills and personal information for Audriana.

One of the major things different about our mock congress is that there is no party divide. No one mentioned wether they were a Republican or a Democrat in our debates because it didn't matter. Although, sometimes you could guess from the bill people were trying to pass or the way they were arguing their point but not one cared to actually ask. Another difference is that there is no Staff System supporting you and empowering your bill. A staff system would research every detail making sure that ,whatever the bill is, that it is detailed and precise where as we only have however much research we can find on the internet and possibly the library. Also there was no preventing a bill from passing in our little congress like a filibuster or

Betty Washington deserves the award because she extends the criteria, and is the best candidate.

Political soft power and influence, I believe is a zero-sum game, it is hard to argue that two powerful nations can have the same level of influence in a third-party country. Currently, it is the United States that holds the lions-share of political soft power dominance and influence in the South China Sea, however as Chinese power grows it’s safe to assume they will desire to possess more friendly neighbors and work to shift regional loyalties from Washington to Beijing; a projection America will certainly combat.
