Journal Entry #3 - Goals

One goal I had was to beat James in Halo. The barrier was that I couldn't beat him because he is just too good and kept killing me. I overcame his barrier by hitting him then I went and killed his guy. I felt very proud. After he recovered from my punch he started beating me again. I decided to play against James' little brother and I beat him. I decided that I could at least kill MJ so that was could enough and I gave up my goal of trying to kill James.


One goal that I would like to set for myself is to actually do my all of my homework and study for all of my classes. I will accomplish this by doing my homework everyday before I play World of Warcraft, and then review all the notes that I took that day. I hope that If I make it so I can't play WoW until I am done my homework and studying, then I will get it done rate away. The studying part may be a problem because I have never studied in my life and really don't like it. I will do my homework and try to study everyday for the rest of the school year and hopefully get acceptable grades.

Journal #2 - Issues Assignment

For my issues paper, I wrote about Hate Crimes. I chose hate crimes because I thought it would be an interesting topic. I found out that over 40% of the people who commit hate crimes are white, 2% are Asian and the rest is unknown. For the most part I didn't agree with hate crimes, but there was one pro that I agreed with. I like the fact that if there are a lot of hate crimes, it will keep the minority levels low in Canada because a lot of people are afraid to come here. By the end of the assignment, I could view the topic from both points of view. It wasn't very possible to just choose one side, but by the end of the assignment my opinion on the subject had changed.

Journal Entry #1 - Going against your values

One of my values is school. One day I told my mom I was sick so I didn't have to go to school and I could play World Of Warcraft all day. I made my mom call the school and tell them that I wasn't going to come that day because I was sick. All day I sat on the computer and gamed with my friends, while my mom made me a lot of food because she thought I was sick. I felt bad about lying to my mom, mostly because she was making me food all day, but I told myself not to feel bad because I had fun playing WoW and it was better than being stuck at school all day. There were no consequences because my mom didn't know that I was lying, I just told her I felt better the next day.

One time I helped my auntie clean her house because she had just had a baby and had no time to do it herself. I thought I would help out because she has another one on the way. I was unexpectedly awarded when she decided to pay me for all the help.

Values movie

1. I agree with the old guy with the glasses who said, "Everyone has the right to life." I agree with this value of life because he is right, everyone has the right to life and no one should be able to take that away from you.

2. I feel that todays values cannot be the same as yesterdays values because the world has changed. Years ago, many people got their values from their religion. Now not as many people are choosing to follow a religion, therefore they will not have the same values as some people who do go to church. Values are no longer forced upon children by their parents, they are introduced to them but it is up to the child if they would like to accept it as one of their values. Television also has a major impact on our value systems. We are exposed to many things that our parents/grandparents were not, which changes the way we think effecting our value systems.

3. I think one value that all people share is honesty because no one likes to be lied to. Even if you may think Honesty isn't one of your values, if you like it when people are honest, then you value honesty.
