Talk to me about research papers and your battle plan to conquer our last assignment. What concerns do you have about it? What do / don't you like about research? What can I do, other than cancel the assignment, to help alleviate some of the stress associated with writing a research paper?
For the group research paper, my part is to find information about the author. Some concerns about the author is not getting enough information, acknowledging the author work, and to honor the author hard work. I like about research is that I get to learn about a new person, their work, and why the author/writer choose this particular job. The thing I do not like about research making sure I have all the information I need to know about the author and not leave out the important facts. To alleviate some of the stress you can do my part of the research and put my NAME on it… that would be soooo GRREAATTTTTT…. j/k. Humm… I really don’t know. You gave us time in class, took us to the library, help us get our resources, and you’re here to help us if we need it. The rest is up to us to finish it. I also think that you should grade our essay with kindness, thoughtfulness, and just give us an “A” because we did the research paper. LOL

Why do you think the story you chose was largely ignored by the mainstream media?
Truth Emergency US
http://www.projectcensored.org/articles/story/truth-emergency-us/
In this short article, health care is being ignored because; American is focusing on other issues that is too important than our own health. They are dealing with “9/11 truth, election fraud, impeachment, war propaganda, civil liberties/torture, and many corporate-caused environmental crises” than health itself. But in reality health care is a major crisis in American. Not everyone is cover by health insurance or have insurance. Why is it that other countries are able to have FREE health insurance, and the US can not afford it? People who cannot afford health insurance will be in debts, take loans, rob a bank, go homeless, or take their own life because they are just tired of seeing the bills. One of the movies that best describe US health insurance is “SICKO.” It compares other countries to American health care system. I think that this is largely ignored by the mainstream media because our government does not want to deal with us “uninsured people” who is asking for help. They would rather used the money they receive for their own pleasure, than to help us. An example was the governor of NY who spent over $1 Million dollars for his won pleasure. Why couldn’t he spent it on saving lives or helping the less fortunes. It is ignored because the government does not want to deal with the large numbers of uninsured people, and complains of request assistance for health care.

You need to write about heroes who were considered disobedient and the impact that they have had on the world as a result of that disobedience.
An example of a person considered disobedient and impact the world today is Eminem. He is one of the most well known “White Rapper”. Who cause commotion for other artists and fans; never less they consider him a hero. Eminem also helps open doors for “white” new comer artist who wants to be famous. He writes song about how he beat his wife and uncared for his daughter, used bad language, and sex. Despite the fact that, we buy his CD, listen to his music, and sing along with the lyrics like we know the back of our hands. Why is that we are promoting his bad activities, have millions of fan looking up to him for role model, and consider him a hero for many teens today. Eminem is a rebellion, he does not follow the rule, used bad language, violent behavior to his family, and rude to everyone.

Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart said that "“Censorship reflects a society's lack of confidence in itself. It is a hallmark of an authoritarian regime.” Do you agree or disagree with his opinion? Why?
I agree with society’s lack of confidence, because we do not like changes. We live in a society that has many characteristic of the world, yet we do not accept the characteristic; because we want what is normal rather than abnormal. We would hide or live in denial because we can’t accept the changes in our lives. Books are censor due to parent’s disapproval of how the books will reflect on their children. If the book is dealing with gangs selling drugs, a parent feels that their children will become drugs dealers. Parent believes that what their children read will result in bad behaviors. Therefore society had lack of confidence in dealing with changes because, we rather be safe than unsafe.

The litigants in the Mozert case argued that the textbooks their children used were not "balanced" when it came to the presentation of controversial topics. What specific complaints did they have about the Holt reader? Were their concerns reasonable for textbooks used in a public school? Why or why not?
The complaint about the Holt reader was fundamentalist to religious belief, along with personal decision making, imagination, world unity, negative portrayals, women roles, stereotype, fairy tales and ect. They are complaint because parents and others do not want their children to learn unsuitable education that they won’t need for the “real world” or could harm them in the future. The concerns regarding the textbook used in public education as new materials, “that education is not what is was in the old days.” That textbooks present “multiculturalism, environmentalism, and globalism” to young children while reading the books, yet it present/show what life should be. (Ie p.5 last paragraph starting with Home meant a single-family… and babies did not throw up on the dog.) They think that textbook used in public school is a sign of act against God, and the parent want to censor them. I think that parent feel like they do not want their children to grow up because, they are protecting their children from reading school textbooks. Textbook are evil because it’s against God and what God taught their children. I do no think that it is reasonable for parent to used religion to stop their children from reading school textbooks.
