Inferring Implications from Observations

The sidewalk is disappearing because the housing in suburban villages is too spread out. The county (where I live) does not require the builders to construct a sidewalk a guess because there are not enough people in the are that would use a side walk. The cities need sidewalks because the population is so much more concentrated. It would be incredibly dangerous if the cities didn't have sidewalks. The suburbs do not necessarilyneed them because it safe not to have them.

Houses now are built more open with higher ceilings and feature living rooms. I like to think of a living room as a purgatory. A place where you sit and wait until the host of the house invites you into the rest of the house. The living room is a place where a family can sit down and enjoy a movie o a board game. I have come t notice that the living room is often not far from the kitchen so that there is a more connected family atmosphere in the house. So that whoever is cooking dinner does not feel excluded from the rest of the family. this kind of style is becoming popular around suburban areas where families are continuing to grow and develop.

A good fence can make a good neighbor as long as the neighbor is all ready good. A fence wont stop a nosey neighbor from coming to the front door. But I do agree with the statement that a good fence makes a good neighbor. If the fence is tall enough and leaves no spaces in between the posts then a neighbor will not be ale to bother you.

This directly implies that that females are more emotional and talk more. That women are not able to reason quite as well as males. This not necessarily obvious but it is a common thought among men. But of course men would be the ones to say this. Women are certainly capable of reasoning and talking less. It also really depends on the person. Genetics are everything, it also has t do with the behaviors that we learn growing up. What we are taught as kids really makes a huge impact on how we do ting as adults. For example: my dad really gets anxious about money he doesn't necessarily think about it all the time but he spends a good deal making it important. It has unfortunately rubbed off on me and I am trying to scrub it off.

I am really against teens serving adult sentences. one of my friends in high school was drunk and decided to drive home and she killed somebody. Now that is obviously awful in a million different ways but I just do not believe it is right to make an example out of a first time criminal. Again I realize that she indeed killed somebody, took a life, and this person will never be of this earth again. But she is a good person at heart and she obviously made a dumb decision that she has had to deal with. I personally would rather die than have to live with somebody else's death.

Well this is a perfect example in which the science overrides the law. Because the judgement and impulse control doesn't develop fully until age twenty one, that implies that the teenage criminals and delinquents are free to go because they are not mentally ready. Its OK to make a stupid decision because we are all ready predisposed to making dumb decisions. This is precisely why I do not think that a teenager should be tried as an adult. Because they are not adults.

Well there have always been miscommunications between men and women. It is tough for a man to take a women seriously when she gives a command in an interrogative tone of voice. Women use it to imply a statement. For example: a women says Are you going to be home by midnight? Well that means that you had better be home by midnight.

Shopping mall and grocery stores probably do not have clocks because they do not want they're customers to realise how long they have been shopping. It is a marketing strategy and it is in fact brilliant. Because before cell phones there wasn't a way to tell time unless you had a watch. It keeps shoppers at the registers and continuously shopping.

GWB

George Walker Bush will be remembered in America by a man who mobilized an entire nation to defeat evil on the other side of the globe. A man that created so much hype and fear that if you didn’t have an American flag magnet on your car you were looked at as an outsider to the united people of America. There was a sense of unity that had not been seen in a long time, a belief in the American people that was good and true. Something all American big and tall, old and young, could associate with. The American people looked to their leader with unwavering support in going to Afghanistan to defeat evil and stomp the terrorist threat.
I watched the 9/11 address the nation and listened to the partially incoherent although somewhat convincing speech that President Bush gave to the anxious nation. These people needed information and in my opinion he gave the people of America no wise words of advice, comfort or strength. He read his words of his teleprompter like a deer in the headlights. You can tell in the video that he is very nervous and uncomfortable. He blinks his eyes whenever he is about to say another word and in between. He almost looks as though he has no clue what he is talking about. He shows no emotion in his face, and looks at you as if he was trying to hypnotize you and just barely cracks a smile towards the end of the clip.
The address is very short and dry and does not motivate me to do anything. I have a hard time taking him seriously for the simple fact that he smiled during the address. Thousands of people have perished. Business workers pedestrians, firefighters, policemen and other brave men and women died in the chaos. A cloud of smoke rose over the city, leaving the nation in chaos and pure amazement. As they turned toward their leader and gave him their undivided attention while he smiles and seems to laugh to himself during his speech.

Alex Ricker Folk Art

Today I analysed a folk art painting by Queena Stovall. she is a folk artist.
My interpretation of folk art is timely expressions of (simple) times. The art is not as master full looking, there are imperfections and disproportions. Where regular towns people are expressed in a reality photographic memorable moment. She paints small town, working class Americans who are usually enjoying life.
The painting The End of The Line
In this painting all of the people are having what looks like an auction.
This looks like a small town village scene in which most or all of the people know each other. Most of them seem to be dressed in nice clothes. Like maybe church type o thing.
The speaker in the auction looks to be enjoying himself, probably because he is getting paid. The women in the back round are having side conversations and getting a little rowdy. There is either an Native American, or African American in the the middle ground next to the screen on the left side of the house. As if looking on at the others. or maybe she int looking at the others at all. Se simply could just be shopping. But she most definitely seems out of place.
The season is changing from summer to fall and it is still a comfortable temperature outside. It is probably 1 or 2 o'clock in the afternoon. There are tired looking individuals outside the crowd who are helping set up the furniture and other sale items. There is an elder man dressed in casual clothes. He sits back relaxed watching his stuff get sold. He looks tired as well does his house. Old plantation style grey with brick chimneys on the sides. It is run down and old just like the old man.
Next to the man is his dog who's characteristic and behavior resemble its owner in the chair. There is a grandfather clock on the porch. It is most likely the most expensive item in the house and he is keeping it under the porch in case of rain.
This piece is very specific and depicts a specific place, (one grain among many).

Over the past couple days I have noticed that when people talk on their cell phones thay tend to forget what they are doing. They do not pay attention or listen to detail. They become completely self absorbed into the device straped to their ear.
I learned that some people sound braindead when they answer. The girls answer their phones in a excited valley girl tone and the guys a sort of mumble.
Its like people forget how to speak when they engage in conversation.

Cell Phone Empire

The cell phone has become a necesity among most Americans. We drive with them, check our email, watch videos on the internet, and manage stocks. All of this power within the palm of our hands. Some of us have become glued to these devices. They have become a distraction with benefits.
At first many people used the cell phones for emergencies, but outragous minute plans, and with the help of global transformation the cell phone industry became an empire. The world is more connected and as a result has become essentialy smaller.
The cell phone has also eliminated the importence of detail. When people talk on their phones they become distracted and often slow things down, forget things, break the law, come across as rude, and sometimes kill people.
How do you cope with a device so powerfull that it can connect to the other side of the world. It must be mannaged quickly and effectively. The cell phone companies have grown so big that there is barely enough competion to keep the prices down. And with the merger of AT&T and Cingular, and Verizon buying Altell the companies are able to jack the prices up as much as they want.
