Who Am I?

Who am I? My name is Alex, this is my last day in high school. I enjoy the outdoors. I love to hunt, fish, go mudding, bonfires, and just plainly hanging out with friends. Cars are my life, i love working on them and i enjoy driving them. The best times are spending all nighters in my buddies garage working on a car. I do not like big groups of people. I am not very talkative and I would rather just hang out with my buddies than new people. I like all kinds of music anything from rock to country to hip hop. My favorite band is Florida Georgia Line. I like Cheverolet because they are the easiest to work on, the last the longest, and they are cheaper for buying parts. I drive an 1989 Ford Bronco 2. Its not the greatest vehicle but it gets me from a to b and it doesn't like to get stuck witch is good. I also have a 1970 Dodge Power wagon that i am getting running and hopefully will be driving it here soon. This is all about me.

Losers

I agree with this article a lot. The reason why is because if it were not for the “losers” like us in society it would be chaos. People like us are here to make things better for others and keep society alive and running. Teachers are here to keep kids up to date on things like education, the world, and other important things. People who are farmers or work for farmers are needed because if it weren’t for the farmers doing the hard work like harvesting crops or raising livestock how would the “winners” or the “losers” live? “Losers” are needed everywhere for everything.
Like the article said what would happen to banks if they couldn’t charge $35 for a 35-cent overdraft or credit card companies if they couldn’t charge ridiculous interest and late fees? Well if these types of things were not possible think of how the world would be. People would be out of hand, they would think that they have all the money in the world and keep buying things. The banks would be in debt because people would keep going over on their accounts and they would lose money. Once again society would be full of chaos.
Also as the article says everyone would like a place with lower or no crime rates. Yes this is very true you just have to ask anyone, but if there was no crime or less crime people who are in law enforcement, the military, and those who work at jails and courthouses and such would be out of a job and would need to figure a way out to get money. Yes it would be nice with no illegal activities going on but people would be out of jobs and also like the article says towns and other places rely on those who commit crimes to pay fees that help towns and schools and other places out.

I believe that society was meant to have “losers” in it. If it weren’t for people like us society would not be a whole. People like us are here to keep society moving along and running so the “winners” are able to live too. If it were not for us “losers” the winners would not be able to survive because they rely on us “losers” for many things weither it be crimes so we pay fees to help them out, gathering and selling them food so they can live, or just even being in society so they make money on us to live and survive.

Catfish


Does everyone have a catfish? From what I think some people have their own catfish but a lot of people do not have a catfish. In some cases people who have another catfish they do not have a catfish like online or anything like that but they have a catfish were they play someone who they are not like if they met someone new and they were trying to impress them. There are other types of catfish other than those of the catfish profiles online. Like I said some people are not who they really are. They have a totally different profile when they are with friends and other people and they are totally different when they are alone or with other groups of people.

Are catfish necessary to keep people alive? No I do not believe that catfish are needed to keep people alive because if there is some fake person and they are luring in another person the other person is not going to like what will happen. Or if someone plays to be someone else or has a different personality the other person who they are acting different around they will not like it. So it may literally kill people if someone were to try luring other people into a scheme and they lure them to their house and kill them or the lure them to thinking they are a totally different persona and they have a relationship with this fake person and they find out that they are fake and they are mad or they are embarrassed they may take their own life.

Stereotype

I believe that your skills and things like being good at basketball and other sports does not depend on what your race or your background is. What I believe makes someone good at something is when they put their mind to it and practice hard to become good. If someone wants to be good at something they can they just need to have faith and they need to want to be good and take time to get good. The reason why I think that the Jews and Koreans were so good at basketball because they were poor and they did not have anything to do so they went and they practiced and took pretty much all of their time to play and practice basketball.


What I feel about the Who Would You Shoot? article is that no matter what the persons race is it does not matter if they are holding a gun or a wallet you should not shoot them based on their color or background. If there was a white and a colored man holding a gun and I had a gun and both of them were going to harm me I would not hesitate on which one to shoot I would shoot both. I would not make my decision based on their color.

Alien Commuters


Alien commuters are not necessarily a bad thing it is kind of a good thing for us Americans. The reason why it is a good thing is because we are too lazy to get and harvest the plants like the lettuce that they harvest from Arizona and things like this. Yes I said it America is full of lazy people. I support the Mexicans who take and use their time to come and work and pick us our food. If it were not for these people we would not have these types of food. These people take and get hardly any sleep to wake up in the middle of the night and get ready to come to America and do our dirty work. They have to be in an underground place that smells like urine for more than two hours just to get a piece of paper looked at so that they can cross the border get on a bus and wait another two hours just to be worked hard and exhausted by the end of the day. They risk being raped everyday while they are waiting for the border police to look at their visas so they can legally come to the US and work. These people deserve more of a pay than the lousy five dollars an hour they make, the not only deserve it they need it to keep their kids living healthy and having a home to come back to.

Animal Farm Test

The Conflict Theory
The conflict theory played a huge role in this book because that is pretty much what the whole book was about. The first example of the conflict theory was they animals of the farm yard did not like being ruled by farmer Jones so they revolted against him. The animals were in conflict the whole time because they did not like what they were doing. They animals fought and forced the farmers off the yard. The next conflict in the book that relates to conflict theory where the animals fighting against the pigs who would change the rules constantly and would make it so that they pigs had the fair way. The reason why this is part of the conflict theory is because the pigs fought against the other animals because they wanted to be the greatest and they wanted to have more rights than that of the other animals did. The last example of the conflict theory is where the animals fought against the other farmers from the other farms because the farmers wanted to get the farm back.
The Bourgeoisie and the Proletariats
I believe that the proletariats in the beginning of the book was the farmer because he had all control over everyone on the farm animals and the other farm hands. The bourgeoisie in the beginning in the book I believe were the animals and the farm hands because they were under control of the farmer Jones. I believe the proletariats in the end of the book I believe is the pigs because they were in charge of the farm and they made all of the rules and they were even able to change the rules when they feel. The bourgeoisie in the end of the book are the other animals in the farm. The reason why theses are the bourgeoisie is because they are under control of the animals and they have to follow control of the pigs and if they disobeyed the pigs they would be punished.
The Functionalists Theory
The roles in the beginning of the book went like this; the leader of the farm and everyone is farmer Jones. The rewards of this is he has complete control does not have many duties he has to fulfill because all of them are fulfilled by the animals and the helping hands. The duties of the people or the servants  is the animals and the helping hands, they are to do what Jones says and if they don't they will be punished. In the end of the book the leader of the farm is the pigs who do not have to do a thing but run the farm and make rules for those who live and work on the farm. The pigs are supposed to resemble Joseph Stallone. The other animals but the pigs are supposed to resemble the people of the Soviet Union that were under the rule of Stallone and that they had practically no rewards or were able to do anything compared to the pigs (Stallone).

Barcelon Fight Club

I believe that this is a good thing for troubled teens and young adults in Barcelona. The reason why I think this is because it keeps these people under control and not out in the streets and away from the local gangs. I believe that this is a permanent fix because once these people are in the club I feel that they will not want to leave because it is probably more like a family to them than what they have ever experienced. I also believe that once they are in the fight club they will enjoy the fighting instead of being in jail and in trouble that they will not want to go back to their old troublesome lifestyle. I think that when they get older either they will mature enough to get a job and stay away from trouble, or they will still keep fighting and training, or lastly I think that they will become instructors for younger kids and they will teach them how to fight and how to stay out of trouble like they did when they were their age. I believe that the lessons they learn are good because they learn to keep away from trouble and by doing so they do something that keeps them busy and keeps their mind clear and clean of the bad things they have done or would be doing. Overall I think that this fighting club is a great idea because it keeps young people who could have a bright future out of trouble which could lead their future to jail or prison time. I also believe that this is a good program because it gives them something to think about and keep their mind on the right track and keeps them out of trouble, and lastly I believe that it forms a family type of situation for them between them and there instructors and also them and their fellow fighting and training mates. They should have places like theses all over so kids can go to these places stay out of trouble, take their anger out on a bag instead of innocent people, and to also keep them out of trouble and give them something to care about.
