Minimum wage rough draft

• Indeed its very controversial and top hot topic for debate lately. The problem is raising the minimum wage and also it could cause unemployment growth. Thereto, here we have two major problems U.S. might face in case of raising the minimum wage.
• The subtopic in this rough draft is addressing the poverty line in U.S.
• It definitely require more time to raise the minimum wage, since each political party has its own interest and believe on such topic.

"A Letter from a Birmingham Jail" Martin Luther King, Jr

Martin Luther King, Jr was the main and central advocate who made a vast major in Civil Rights Movement prior and after it. During his jail time in Birmingham, which he was sentenced he sent the letter to all "negro" community how he also stated that phrase. The primary claim of this letter is to stay strong no matter how the condition is bad and earn equal rights along with freedom under democratic regime in U.S. Encouraging all of them to see the bright future after all efforts had been doing and there will be one day that everybody will equal calling that law will not " just law" instead real one. As he mentioned that he is small and dark cell in jail but, he is not making it excuse not to communicate with people who is supporting him and the situation at that time. The audience of this long letter is everyone in terms of any social position in "negro" society and despite the age of people.

Debate on Student Loan Debt Doesn't Go Far Enough

As the price of education is growing by every quarter the U.S students lean toward to loan federal and private loans. Furthmore, the main proposal and message of this essay is to forgive student loans in order to help graduates to focus on creating business, career, family and so on rather than paying off student loan for the rest of their life. It might be a good proposal to forgive student loans probably in future U.S. economy can afford that but not in todays economic condition. 



Bull***t video

• The primary message of this video is advocating that today there is no such value going to college. But even if one's do than shouldn't limit freedom and let college/university to change his/her values/opinions and right to speak about any issues. On the other hand, this show is only focused on minority that college really doesn't have value or point to attend anymore. But if to speak and look at it from majority perspective than I would say people still hold keen notion and believe that without college there is no such opportunity in job market. Especially, in todays economy. Albeit, there is also secondary message on this video which is calling all college students to stand for and support "freedom of speech" on campus. As the example, they used as an example one St. Cloud, MN university. If to look to the contemporary example regarding to college drop out is Elizabeth Holmes. She is founder and CEO of Theranos company. It's health technology and medical laboratory company based in Palo Alto, California. However, not every one of us has successful connection to make one's idea happen.  Still, value and benefit of getting college degree today is very important.

Pre-Workshop

• I'm not really confident enough about this draft. Because I picked a little bit tricky and not yet famous issue. Due to those facts its not easy to find reliable sources.
• So far I am working only on pros and cons and addressing whether Minnesota should continue to use the road salt or find a new alternative solution to it.
• I think it still needs more evidence and scientific research answers to what extent the state can use the road salt

I would say it depends from which perspective view you looking for this or any different issue. Literally, its all up to people  from where he/she wants a piece of cake. With that being said, in this issue if to look from political side, then it involves U.S. international relations and crisis with Middle East countries. More specifically with Iraq, it was in time when Saddam Hussein considered as main-direct threat and danger to the United States of America. Political field is all about debate if cake contain from 97% of sugar. People always might divide into different wing and hold strong opinion whether its right. Officials do their best to protect nation and its interest in international area. Yet, even if citizens against or not.

Don Carns Jr vs. Scott Cline

Oil and gas production has been the main concern and interest in every single nation today. Without these vital and major resources any state are almost consider a weak or impossible to survive. Hence, the production of oil and gas require some natural damage and consequences after each season of this process. The main damage and harm is environmental and ecological to bio system and putting in danger the water quality along with other things around. Basically, the writers Don Carns Jr. and Scott Cline is against about the gas and oil production. Since in the process of drilling might occur several accidents which can result to leak of oil or gas in between land along poisoning the out surface and future of.
The Don Carns Jr. is most conscious and worry about the real outcome besides of scientific explanation about the future of drilling. Which leads that Don Carns Jr. is against about gas and oil production. Due to causing damage to water, environment and people who lives around that place.


On the other hand, Scott Cline is technically stands for and support the gas and oil production.

Today how to survive

Do you like smoothie? Of course I do, who doesn't like it. The combination of our daily meal have to consist from different items, not solely in one item. The message of this video is trying to illustrate that, if you break the human nature law-than it will break you in the end. The notion is to adopting a normal eating habit and well-balanced diet. No matter the fact, whether you vegetarian, Buddhist, Muslim etc. Since, the video is not just about how in 21st century people killing animals or the whole process how the meet from Sam's Club came from, we already know about it. With that being said, it shows how society is divided into many different slides like wedding cake, each consisting the general ingredient but the taste is different. People today, tend to eat anything fast and delicious due to lack of knowledge how to prepare food, time, financially broken, or just because I don't want to.
However, I would say that besides of manufactured/processed food every citizen should consume more fresh vegetables along with daily diet, in order to prevent from serious consequences such as diabetics, heart disease, high blood pressure, etc.
I would say that what all problem we created and only solution is to teach about how and how much to consume, but to stand up against human cruelty or anything sort of this topic. Because, if to look this in broader picture-it doesn't make any sense in the end. Here is an example: Back in 1990's the Russian president decided to ban alcohol consumption and applied strict laws against it. The result was society started to drink perfumes, make their beverages in basement of house and killed millions of people every year. So, think about now, what would happen if state will ban consumption of meat or put limit on meal plan.

Compare and Contrasting-similarities and differences/ Community duty

• Opposing views on a topic
• Different takes on a topic

Different approaches:

• Messages/themes
• Purpose
• Intended Audience
• How the writers handle opposing views
• Tone/Diction/Writing style
• Genre/Form
• Evidence used to support the argument
• Reasoning-connections between claims and evidence
• Organized-is it focused? Is it clear?
• Who's the writer? (ethos)
• Pathos-use of anecdotes and other emotionally charged examples.

Structures:

Community duty



As a citizen of country the government provides basic needs to society like: highways, free parks etc. But, yes all of those things are coming from tax money. However, I strongly believe that every person should do community duty. Because, it will not solely helps to person itself, but also to the community, neighborhood, as well as to government spending. It greatly helps to person improve some certain skills and learn something beside the college degree or yet apply some knowledge into practice. Today up to 80% of all jobs require some contribution  hours and experience on that field one's hold certain degree.

Blog Questions/Answers

• First I was debating among several controversial issues such as American-Mexican border, Corporate Tax, Middle East. Albeit, I decided to go with-Abortion. Because it taking great attention not only inside the U.S. but even abroad.
• I'm still looking for reliable sources from internet and textbook (from the library). Because I want to provide scientific based/scholarly research information, but not just an opinion  or debate.
• My main question in this topic and assignment is address to the history of Abortion on how it actually allowed, under what circumstances or laws and what might be the best solution to decrease the number of abortion through new laws or programs ( since its impossible to stop it, because people always can find a way to do it, if its necessary).
• Every piece of information is essential and helps me to build strong argument and make a good flow on sentences/paragraph.

Personal Narrative Essay-feedback

I was expecting that I have couple few issues and mistakes to work on my paper that is what also I got as feedback from my peer's. The feedback gave me clear view on what I need to work and what need to pay more attention. It always been very helpful to me when someone is reading my paper and giving feedback afterwards. Because, the things or issues on what I cant catch or see the other person definitely able to do so.

Personal Narrative Essay

Honesty never failed me so far. Its never been easy for me to write any type of paper. Because, English is fourth language and in every other language that I speak has own specific writing skills. However, it's not issue for me to learn and be much better in English language. In this assignment I feel like I need to work on the coherence of words as well as events and grammar part. Clearly, it always takes more time for me to put together my thoughts and translate into English language. Because, sometimes I can come up ideas and thoughts in two different languages. Also, in English language the writing style is totally different which is sometimes might be challenge for me, but not always.

When I was off from the moment

I still can imagine that whole picture when I was completely off or in different place when something different was going around me. It was in my first day in the United States of America. After long hours flight from Istanbul, Turkey to New York which is around fourteen hours non-stop flight and from there had  to flight right after to Tampa, Florida. By the time when I arrived to Tampa, Florida it was around 7:00pm and was very hungry and exhausted. Notwithstanding, my cousin wanted me to get something and to do so we went to the  Hornbacher's grocery store, since they have fresh prepared meal/salads and all stuff. After finding all the essentials and other things I needed we were waiting in line, but I was "dead alive" already there and was dreaming about only bed. By the time when we came to the cashier and she saw that I was looking very tired. So, when she offered me some energy bar or drinks after period of time I  replied " I need bed and you". It never had happened with me before but its direct sing of being off from the current moment. I remember everyone was looking me from different sight and cashier was smiling. But luckily my cousin explained the reason of my situation. Honestly, didn't even had energy to explain something to someone.

Advantage and disadvantage of technology today.

Close your eyes and try to imagine something is beyond sights of any people. Today all that imagination came true and some of them  are coming in next years already. Decade ago it was unimaginable if anyone said I'm stock investor or ordering some goods from Japan. Because, in order to do such actions you had to had a very solid internet connection and platform to complete those tasks. Technology, today going even broader and better. Development of technology today has pros and cons. Since, when we refer the word technology is grasps bigger aspects and notion into it, such as, internet, devices, online&phone applications, social networks, online services etc. Every of us today is using at least four of those technology features. But yet, as it was mentioned above all of this have cons as well. It can occur when person is getting addicted all this charming devices and social networks promising to find more friends and be more social. On the other hand, this is generally leading to loose the balance in daily life and social capital. Personally, I would admit that I was addicted to all social networks. Consequence of this "problem" was that I ended up being lonely and completely isolated from outside world. Because, my whole day, no matter what is going on an outside was spending time in social networks. But the worst part is was started to influence to my studying and personal health. In terms of health condition I gained a lot more gain then in a four month and grades were just " awful".

When it comes to introduction of myself its little bit tricky compare with other people. In fact I'm not that complicated as a linear algebra for freshman college student. The most important thing is as long as the person in front of me respect my religion and myself. I'm not asking too much. Hence, I'm pretty much  easy going person with everyone, no matter of age, gender etc. I like to joke with everyone and all of my friends know about that. However, I'm not making any joke with random people, I only do it when I feel comfortable to do so or after period of time. As I mentioned above I'm pretty much simple guy who doesn't ask too much in this life, just simple and common things. The second thing I would  more value is honesty.

Decision

Every person has its own definition on how to define the given life and chance to live in this world. As any writer who is trying to make interesting every next edition of story, your life is at the same page level where you everyday life confront with something new and different, even if you might have the same meal for supper. Perhaps, from the point where I came so far I didn't had to make any tough decisions yet, it might be sound weird or random but I had to make only serious decisions, yet  for me tough word means different rather then what average people thinking. Perhaps, it might be cultural issue, as you growing parents can help you with all necessities only until some period of time. So during my junior year in high school I had to make decisions on what I want to study and where. It wasn't easy to make that decision since I never left my house no longer than just for month. The main question is whether I regret that decision or not, I would say no and never will do so.


The Dalai Lama and Howard C.Cutler

Even in common (general) philosophy has a core notion and border for your contentment or wishes-desire that can make you happy.  The same idea and argument is Dalai Lama about to say that, regardless of how much person wants something badly it might have two sides either can hurt personally, physically, financially or might turn out to completely to opposite way. Although one interesting point she is trying to explain is that human being, always wants something new and more yet if you can control and keep the balance then that would be a paramount happiness for everyone. Even though, no matter even how much you can buy, have or own anything in this world ( if property, or things  can make one's happy) all of us are going with empty hands to another "world" by the end of the time.



Happiness

It might be just a simple word " Happiness" but the process is one most distinct and complex in order to understand and more sometimes to explain someone next to you on what you just experienced and makes you happy. Since, its process of whole process of chemistry and biology when human being experiencing happiness.  Some people can define on what exactly he/she feeling during this moment, but yet sometimes its impossible to do so. For me happiness is when you achieve your personal purposes, such as: becoming on what you planning and never have any civil or any kind of conflicts in the world( ex:Iraq, Ukraine-Russia, ISIS).
