Blog 16: "Type CATW practice 3"

  The passage "How to do things one at a time" inform us about the dangers of multitasking and how it affects our daily lives.Is also known the single tasking is safer then multi-tasking since people who multitask end up doing their task wrong because of the cognative limits of the brain.

  Texting and driving is a commun form of multitasking that many people expose themselves to daily "Talking on the phone while driving?Dumb idea.Texting while driving? Really dumb idea."I agree with this idea because i known the story of a guy who got in a car accident while he was texting and driving both at the same time,he was not so lucky since in the accident he lost he's arms and now he is not able to do neighter drive or text on hes phone.
 
  Many people are less efficent after they turn of their phones because most of them loose a great amount of concentration so they are less active during the day. I could relate this idea to an episode of the life of one friend the i had in middle school where he was constantly texting on the phone during class so the  teacher found out about it and restrictedhes phone and made him stay for after school to do the work the he missed during class I have learned not to distract my self texting to others during class because it could affect my learning just like it did to my friend.

  So going back to the idea i think muti-tasking is a dangerous action the affects the way we as people handle the way we communicate but it is possible to break the habit of multi tasking  and be able to repair our concentraition by under going solution such as yoga and acupuncture it is possible to sharpen our focus.

Blog 14: "Learning from another ENG 99".

Blog 1 in my opinion is the best develop one out of all three it has a good summery the person states hes/her opinion and also gives us a quote from the article the person also fallow and gave us two good body paragraph,one thing I didnt like about the essay apart from having  a few errors is that the person who wrote it after given us a quote in the first paragraph they also paraphrase on the second.If i have to rate the blogs and arragened them in order then I have to make blog 1 the first one then blog 2 and finally being the least close to passing blog number 3.

Blog #12 "Consequentialism".

  The movie "Gone baby gone" give us the story of a child name Amanda who is kidnapped from her mother by a group of men who belive the Amanda's mother  thosen't care for her and also those not take good care of her daughter then the story takes the main character patrick on a journey to find Amanda and take her back to her mother on hes mission patrick goes through a change of mind by going against  hes belives  and actually killing a men he then says to one of the characters in the story name Ray that he  would never kill again.Almost at the end of the movie patrick finds out the that the entire time the retire captian had amanda onder hes household the whole time and that he belive that amanda would have a much better life with him and hes wife then with her maternal mother patrick completly disagree with the captain and calls the police to let them know that the captain was the one who kidnapped amanda all alone.

   Patrick being the only character in the story who belives in ethical absolutism goes own through out the entire movie only following hes own belives the later leads him to the lost of hes girlfriend and to finding out that hes decision of taking amanda back to her mother was not the right thing to do because the mother did not change he ways of treating amanda by showing us a lack of parenting at the end of the movie when we see her getting ready for a date and leaving amanda with who ever wants to take care of her.

  In the other hand the retire police captain believes in consequentialism being the one who takes amanda  from her mother illegally he believes that by doing this he could change amanda's future for the better purpose and to raise her as hes own child in the captain's mind is the best decision even though it is wrong to adopt amanda without the concerned of the mother since this makes the mother believe the her kid is dead because patrick was not able to find her but this was until he went to visit the captain that he found amanda with him and found out the truth about what to her.

  I think the movie "Gone baby gone" those not choose a side between consequentialism and ethical absolutism since it is showed in the movie the both theories are aproved and are each giving good examples of how each of them could affect the outcome of the story. both are demostrated as good and bad decision made by the characters both affecting  Amanda's future life.
