Ethics

What Stephen Glass did was wrong, morally and ethically. Though impressive, it was still wrong. How he got away with it for so long is anyones guess, I am suprised he can get a job anywhere because of all the lies he created. It must have been exhausting trying to keep up with all the lies and yet it didnt seem to bother him. He just rolled right through it. When the media or media persons fabricate a story, it loses merit to the public. If we as the people cannot trust those who are feeding us our day to day information than who are we to trust? How are we to know what is truth and what is fabrication?

32 Day Commitment....Being Active

My 32 Day Commitment is for Spring 2014 to be more active. This commitment will begin any time I have a spare moment and especially at home. I have been wanting to be more active for a while and be healthier for myself, but there were always so many different excuses of why I was unable to. I know its not the most creative goal, but its one that is very important to me.

Action Plan

• Stay motivated. Remind myself that is goal is what I really want, and that I will be happier when I can make it an every day routine
• Understand that the change wont happen over night and try to not be overwhelmed by the lack of immediate results
• Keep it new and exciting by doing different types of activities like hiking, push ups, running, swimming, etc.

Day 1 Wednesday 4/9/14

Okay, so I took the first day a bit slow. I did a lot of walking at school and took the stairs every chance I got. When I got to work later that evening, I did a lot of standing and more walking. That was really it, I am hoping to increase the amount of activity over the next couple of days.

Day 2 Thursday 4/10/14

Played with my dogs today (soccer is the number one choice for my german shepard) then played the kinect for about an hour. (Kinect is an interactive gaming device that allows you to be active while playing your favorite games) My legs are very sore from the amount of jumping and squats I did. No pain, no gain!...Right?

If I were a crayon

If I were a crayon I would be a green crayon. Why? I would be a green crayon because I love the color green, its in the grass, its in the trees, green eyes are becoming a rarity, and green is what makes the world go round. Without the trees, moss and other plants we would have no oxygen to breath and no food for the herbivores to eat therefore ensuring death for all. So green is pretty important, unless you don't feel like breathing, in which case I guess its not which by the way Global warming is a thing....and its really already started. Why do you think the weather has been so off its rocker the past year or two? No one wants to hear about global warming because no one thinks its really a problem and it is! Global warming is basically the earth trying to adapt to us! As opposed to us as a population trying to adapt to it and its natural changes. The climate change we have been experiencing isnt natural. The polar ice caps are melting due to our fossil fuels and carbon foot print. Which some may wonder how a place like the polar ice caps can be affected so much when its no where near us. It is affected because our fossil fuels have to go somewhere! So by warming the polar ice, causing it to melt, its pushing the polar vortex away from the poles causing it to be increasingly cold here as well as adding severe storms across the nation. Tsunamis, Tornados, Hurricanes, etc granted its usually that time of year when these events take place anyway but because of the climate change, these storms become more severe than normal. Its a very real and scary thing. We our pushing our planet to its limits and I fear that the more we push, the more we will be the cause of our own demise. Though its not too late to change it.

Is it plagerism?

Is it still plagiarism if you pay someone else to create and essay that hasn't been created yet? The answer is YES. Not only is academically wrong and cheating but it is also morally wrong. Even though it didn't come from Google or another essay  site, its still someone else s work and not yours, therefore it is in fact plagiarism and is still a "crime" Pesonally, I wont resort to having another person write my essay, im too opinionated to not want to write my own essays. Also I would feel very dishonest and guilty and would probably turn myself in because I would not feel I got the grade I deserved.
