My End of Module Responses!! -Three more responses Part two!

4)Fast food
http://beyoungbefoolishbutbebad.blogspot.com/2010/04/fast-food.html

In response to your blog entry I do agree I have noticed how fast food restaurants have appeared on the high street. I also think it’s is because our lives have changed in the society that we have no time to have a ‘proper’ meal due to work, family and commitments.
I do think also that many take fast food for granted thinking it’s a solution to the ‘no time’ problem but is it just an excuse because we simply can’t be bothered to cook a proper meal or the reality to have time has become a restraint in the modern times.

I guess the film ‘supersize me’ was brilliant in showing the effects to long term eating fast food can do to your health. I’m not a fan of people that go there daily to their ‘fix’ of the yummy delight of greasy fat. BUT! I am a fan of a food chain of Subway as they do healthier food than a fast food chain Mc Donald’s could ever do for me and another thing you can actually see the food being made in front of you instead of whatever fast food chains such as Mc Donald’s are putting in their foods so I prefer a freshly made sub to a Big Mac any day!
In my view Fast food should not be seen as the solution to having not time and should be ‘enjoyed’ in moderation NOT every day! And I feel the government should do more about it.


5)Cheating
http://beyoungbefoolishbutbebad.blogspot.com/2010/04/cheating.html

In response to your comment about cheating in an exam in your blog entry, I agree I do know like it when people cheat in an exam! It shows how much of a coward they really are in my view I mean having a qualification knowing you don’t deserve it in my view you’re only lying to yourself in all respect. But! The real pleasure comes when the guilty gets found out I feel like laughing in their face as they thought they could get away with it. I also found amusing the bit in your entry about cheating talking away the element of satisfaction in rub your hard earned success in someone else’s face and I do agree with that as its true because if someone’s success wasn’t hard earned what gives them the right to go about rubbing it their face.

However when it comes to your point about cheating in a video game it’s not really serious as cheating in an exam but I still don’t like cheating when it comes to gaining an upper hand to get through to the next level it seems stupid to me but yes I have done it a few times on Tomb Raider and other such games I don’t like the fact I have but I was pretty desperate for help in order to find out where certain things are in the game or how to defeat a certain monster you could say You Tube is my great friend in that respect.
In my view you may be able to cheat things in life but the thing you can never do is cheat death! If you do it’s a complete miracle and you should be called a saint.



6) Profanity
http://beyoungbefoolishbutbebad.blogspot.com/2010/04/profanity.html

In response to your blog entry I do agree and think that if anyone has not sworn in their life they are amazing as I do think that everyone swear up to their own certain point. Swearing has developed in many ways that you have pointed out in your entry. But however I don’t like it when someone says a swear word every minute in every sentence they say as it’s not needed.

And as I’ve mentioned swearing has developed as one of your example is when you hurt yourself by say stubbing your toe many often say ‘fuck’ or another instance is when you’re angry at someone and you put your fingers up it is a natural reaction that we learn from all around us as we grow up. Personally I don’t like to swear but I do in those situations as pointed out as examples as I’m trying to stop myself and say sugar instead. When it comes to swearing I’m not an angel but I’m not as half bad as some others I come across in daily life but I’m simply human as everyone is to an extent.

One final note! I have enjoy this module and thinking about the certain topics along the module. I have also enjoyed the writing of blog entries and it has been a pleasure doing this module as a whole.

My End of Module Responses!! -Three responses Part one!

1) Downloading Music and films illegally

http://aminacaley77.blogspot.com/2010/04/downloading-music-and-films-illegally.html

In response to your Blog entry i fully agree as I personally didn’t think it was harmful to the industry as it works out cheaper to get them for free then pay for it for an example would anyone pay £10 maybe more for a whole album or download the single tracks for free I think many people would rather choose not spending £10 or more it like walking into HMV and grabbing a CD and then walking out again not having to pay for it but then again that’s only my opinion.

I did the same I watched the BBC programme on the subject and it did open my eyes to how much it is hurting the industry and I quickly uninstalled some computer programs on my laptop that I use to use to download the music and I can proudly say that when I want to buy music I do via I Tunes.

And yes I do agree that the punishment under the law to stop it is a bit harsh but then again I wouldn’t want the person who pays for my internet to get into trouble for my doing so I do see the logic in the punishment.

But finally has anyone thought about blaming the people who developed the software in the first place???

2) Is Tanning bad for us?

http://aminacaley77.blogspot.com/2010/03/is-tanning-bad-for-us.html

In response to your blog entry on tanning I really do hate it when people to ahead to a tanning shop and abuse their own skin well that’s exactly what’s it like. And I completely agree how they moan when they find they’ve got skin cancer and they cry their eyes out wishing they should’ve gone in the first place many would have the argument that it’s their own fault as tanning is proven to cause cancer.

I do think that the government isn’t doing enough as the law for over 16 or 18’s only on sun beds isn’t working as an investigation on it through BBC watchdog programme proved it too easy for an underage to get served and that proves to me that the law isn’t working and more needs to be done.

I may not have seen the Nicola Roberts Documentary but I am pleased that a high profile person is using her fame to highlight the problem on a massive scale through the media.

3) Truancy AKA bunking off school

http://aminacaley77.blogspot.com/2010/05/truancy-aka-bunking-off-school.html

In response to your Blog entry I do agree that there are reasons for ‘bunking of school’ such as bullying, lack of interest in lessoned and so on.

I do agree with your point about it being harsh for the parents to be sent to jail but in all fairness it’s not just the parents fault as many do their hardest to in being a parents but in some cases the more there are rules set by the parent the more teenager wants to rebel.

The reason of having a lack of interest that I mentioned may be due to the fact that many lessons are no longer interesting as through experience myself many of the lessons weren’t that exciting except for the few that had teachers that showed a passion for the subject which made it easier for the teacher to make the lesson more exciting more enjoyable. Could this be a way of improving education as a whole?

Another hard reason for truancy may be the issue of bullying, in my view it is completely unacceptable that it still happens in schools around the country and so easy on in the internet. It proves the ‘anti bullying policy’ that many schools have enforced is not working because through personal experience I know that the school where I was bullied at could have quickly sorted out the problem instead of waiting for a number of incidents to rise until actually saying to the bully ‘right you are no longer a pupil at this school’.

Part two coming up soon. . . . . . . .
