'project 3 reflection' Different

 Looking back on the project, I think I did well at providing good interviews and setting up a good argument. The topic about tobacco is a good thing to talk about and it's important to this campus and the community as a whole. I learned that many people are willing to speak up about this topic. Even people who I just asked for conversation are having strong feelings whether it be for tobacco or against it. Students believe this is a very serious issue as well they should think it is, also I realized I myself had a strong opinion about this tobacco matter and I really would like for tobacco to be removed from all campus' or at least some restrictions and set zones to where these products can be used. From this paper I would work on a little of the formatting but I would need to work on recording in a area I can focus and try and get it right the first recording and not be somewhere where distractions can throw me off and make laugh or something of that matter and end up doing multiple recordings (speaking from personal experience from this project). Looking back at my project, I believe the argument I had was really strong and that I stated on which side I stood on with this topic with a good thesis and didn't have to come out and simply state " I don't want tobacco." Looking past this just being school work, I can use this for anytime I'm in an interview and being on the other end knowing what I need to do and not be nervous when being asking questions or being the one to ask them. Also, talking to people who are foreign to me will be easier when I can meet and greet people without being nervous upon meeting them. I wasn't the biggest fan of the papers and work we had to do, but they all made me view things from a different view and to look at things from another persons perspective and see if I can see things how someone would see them. That's important because people tend to be quick to judge when they first see things because they only look at it from how they would see it, but this is getting me away from looking at things from only how I would see it but as a person from all the way on the other side of the world may view things. This project opened my eyes to new things I may want to do with my major and also helped me with the exact job I want to get from my major and how part of the job works.

Script Draft : Smoking ban

Next summer Arizona State will be banning all tabacco products on campus. This ban will take place on all campus and since this has been announced it has seemed to be a highly concerned topic. Tabacco while not being a rather positive product seems to be a positive thing for students in a sense that it has brought those who want to keep it on campus closer together by trying to find solutions to present to those who are over this rule being proposed at Arizona State. Even those who are not for it are thinking of more reasons to why it shouldn't be allowed on campus. When asking students around campus this is what they stated.

Me: how do you feel about this restriction?
Kayla: I believe it's a good decision, students need to focus on more positive things that will benefit them and not things that can't impact them negatively.
Me: Would you get involved in any of the groups for or againist it?
Kayla: Not personally, I don't have a strong opinion on this, but I would not be for it if asked to choose a side.
Me: Some students say that they are adults and should have the freedom to what they feel, would you agree?
Kayla: No, yes you are an adult, but you should respect other people and how it affects them.
Me: What other reasons do you have for this ban?
Kayla: People seem to not respect the rules set for smoking, there should be set places for smoking to be allowed and for any tabacco use and when students don't respect the rules placed in front those privaliges should be taken away. Also, when students take cans of chew and throw them on the ground and litter it makes the Arizona State campus look bad and dirty. Also with ciggarette boxes around campus they also are found on the ground. Students also don't like the smell and it lingers in the air and pollutes the Arizona State campus with terrible smells that can stick to your clothing and other things that not all people want.
Students who are for the ban have great arguements on this ban and deserve to not have to deal with the problems that present themselves.

ASU Reacts

The author from last week talked about how the Bond' series has been facing a little bit of a slump and hasn't been around or talked about lately, but with the new release of the movie "Skyfall" is bringing the Bond' series back to life. The author states that the "old ways" of Bond' are being brought back to life and to the theaters. The main point and arguement it looks like the author was trying to point out was simply that even though there has been a drought of the James Bond trilogy that with this new movie being realeased, they have really gotten back to how things were and how they believe they should be. When asking a student on campus they stated ' it brought the Bond value and dynasty back to theaters and brought the old school Bond that everyone knew and loved back to theaters." In conclusion, it seems the author and the reviewers of this movie have come to an agreement that the Bond' trilogy is now back and to stay this time.

Genre Analysis: James Bond is back

Audio essays are very unique and indifferent in the way that, it could be read as a paper like any other you do, but when it's presented to an audience on the actual audio end of it, it sounds like there is an interview taking place instead of some paper and words you just read. Even though you must still type up a paper and have it there for reference, the real important part of the work is that you have a great audio recording of the work. The man speaking gave more of an overview and even though having a script, he just seemed to use natural ability and spokesmanship skills he had gained to just speak freely instead of reading straight off of the script which most audiences would prefer. With my personality being more open, I personally think my work with this will be a lot better because I like to have the freedom to say things that aren't exactly according to what is suppose to be said or just to mix it up because I do like to be considered different. As I stated earlier, the actual paper seemes to just be a simple reference that you can go to, but not exactly needed to complete the task at hand. Adding music, or sound effects to the audio also can keep the audience in tuned to the audio you present, in example, this article played the main theme song from the movie 'Skyfall' at the beggining which for James Bond fans you would catch onto and be attracted to that. Also, the end of the audio plays the song to let you know the end is coming for the audio.

'Project 2 Reflection' Uncertanity

Looking back on project 2, I'm feeling a bit of I think I did well, but at the same time I'm wondering if it's almost to good to be true. I did put in a lot of time and effort into making sure my rough draft was really well put together so I didn't have much to change in the final product, but I'm feeling a little bit of doubt with the project. I'm not sure I had any particular struggle, mainly the intro and reaching the 800 words would probably be the most difficult challenge I faced and for me wanting to exceed 2000 words to make sure I had enough information was the most difficult part. I learned that there are always pros and cons to any ting you look at and you have to take the most important parts out of it that affect you the most strongly and know you have to deal with the cons of things to. I don't think I will alter my writing based off this project because it didn't make me feel as if I need to change anything. I believe I evaluated really well and it dealt with a place I'm famaliar to me so I could give really good details on what it was and what made it positive. In the future and on improving this skill I will try and look deeper into things as the first project made us do and to see how that helps my evaluation skills and to explain things. Outside of this class and school, seeing the pros and cons to things will always be vital and having a understand of how things will affect me positively and negatively will always be important to understand.

"the pool"

One of the most entertaining and eye grabbing attractions that the Student Recreational Center complex provides is the pool. A pool has always been a great escape from reality, time spent in the pool seems to always be a good time. Whether it be for competition, exercise, or just to relax, the feeling of the water is just soothing and refreshing. The Student Recreational Centers pool provides many lanes for lap pool swimming, and as you work your way to the left from the side doors of the gym, it turns into more of the community pool feel where it's open and not to deep to where you can float around and partake in fun pool activities. The pool offers a small basketball hoop on one end so you can get your competitive juices flowing and still be in touch with the soothing feel of the water still. Although it's not the place of strong competition, the pool might provide the thing that doesn't take the most talent but uses simple human qualities to bring people of the Arizona State community closer and to make this a stronger community and for people to connect with people in a fun and safe way, with attempting to add something to the pool that is enjoyable for everyone who visit the pool area of the Student Recreational Center.

" the fields"

The other part to the Student Rec is the fields, where any sport that can be played outdoor is provided. Not only limited to sports, but events are held out there and they usually get hundreds of people involved in some sort of way to add some excitement to the Arizona State lifestyle. The fields are a multipurpose area and with the weather changing and not being ridiculously hot and not cold will become even more of a hot spot than it already was. Hosting many events like the flag football league that I actually took part in with real refs and many rules to give us football lovers about the closest take to something real. Also, Arizona State not having an actual school team for soccer, they have a club team that substitutes for that and the fields have been given the responsibility to host other schools on that field. Also, the fact that you can close down the fields, no matter the time of day, you can just go out and go for a run to get things off your mind, or even lay out and look at the stars to just have a nice relaxing night in the moon light and to just escape from reality for a little bit. The fields seem to give off the most use over other parts of the Student Recreational Center because it's open and can be used for your sports or even to walk a dog it's really your choice which is always good.
