Internet essay

                     As we know the Internet sources always have an effect on students or people lives.

In some ways it makes it easier for some people to get their work done it also have an effect on the youngest or teenagers who uses the online sources by getting connected with people that they don’t know who they really are, and without knowing the risk in which they are putting their lives  and their reputations. Face book, My Space and Blogs are the most useful internet sources that most teenagers use today.

                   What you say online could hunt you down. Face book, my space, blogs and other websites are the most useful internet sources that most teenagers’ uses today and also the common person could post their thoughts and experiences on the web to share with friends and others. Web 2.0, a tool that brings together the smallest in which they get to post and share feelings, thoughts and experiences with other people. For example, “you can learn more about how Americans live just by looking at the backgrounds of you tube videos –those rumpled bedrooms and toy strewn basement rec rooms-than you could from 1,000 hours of Net work television.” This evidence supporting my assertion of how web 2.0 brings together the smallest  in which they get to post feelings and experiences, such as you tube is a web were we could learn instantly than watching televisions 1,000 of hours and sometimes we don’t get to learn anything  from it. “The new web is a different thing, it’s a tool for bringing together the smallest contributions of millions of people and making them matter.” Many people have been using the websites in order to know others around the world and to express their feelings and thoughts with them. Many people finds friends by using the web sites, such as face book, my space, and blogs in order to make friends that would understand them better than the real peoples in their lives. Sometimes people have problems in their life or they are passing through a situation where they can’t express it with people that they know in their lives, so they rather share it with others online because there might be people online that would understand them better or might give them advise than the people in their lives, because sometimes there are people that they know such as a family member or friends but those people don’t give them that much attention to the person who is passing through bad situations so they rather find friends through the internet that will give them advice.  That’s why the internet source brings together the smallest community in which they get to post and share feelings, thoughts and experiences with others.

           My space, Face book and Blogs are the most online websites that most teenagers use today to post comments and to express their feelings and thoughts too. But without knowing the risks in which they are putting their lives and reputations and the consequences in the future. For example, Colleges denied admission to applicants because of their entries in blogging sites includes disparaging comments about Reed College. “Colleges, High School and even Middle School students across the USA have been suspended or expelled, thrown off athletic teams, passed over for jobs, and even arrested based on their online postings.” This evidence supports my assertion of how Colleges denies admissions to applicants do to the reasons of posting disparaging comments which leads to a record for those who tries to look for a job and no one would hire them because they have posted comments on their blogs which affects their reputation. Another example about “20 student in Costa Mesa were suspended from Te Winkle Middle School because those student threatened a student to kill him on my space.” This is another reason why students are being arrested and suspended because of their comments or things they post on my space and threatening others. This is one of the effects of my space, face book, and Blogs in which teenagers are affected by posting comments that would ruin their lives and even their reputations. It also affects others that are being threatened through those web sites and it could cause them depression and might suicide themselves because they can’t tolerate those comments that others are posting about them. In my opinion I think the teenagers should know or investigate that web sites aren’t safe or private to identify themselves because there are people on lines that have different thoughts than us. They try to find a way to contact with teens or people to know more about them and they might use a false identity to identify themselves to those who fall in their tricks. Teenagers shouldn’t trust those kinds of people unless they really know those people.

                          As more and more students turn to websites such as face book and my space to chronicle their lives and socialize with friends and without knowing the risks or dangers in which they are putting their lives. “But to adults, these websites are places were kids are naively putting their reputations and future  ... not to mentions personal safety…at risk.” But for some students or teenagers they don’t mind about the consequences of using those websites. For example, student’s pos picture of themselves holding cans of beers and bottles of liquor...even when they are under age. The photos that they post on their Blogs or my space and face book is a place were thousands of people would see it in which they are publishing their bad behavior online. Another example, “to teen and young adults social websites are private spaces where they can interact in the open multimedia style of the online world in which they grew up.” In my opinion teens and young adult shouldn’t open up themselves in the online world because we might think   that it’s safe but in some sort of ways social websites can’t hide everything that we post online or things that we share. This way we are putting are selves at risk because we don’t know who is reading and checking it out. For example, “a 16 year old boy in Jefferson Colo...Was arrested after police say he showed pictures of himself on his my space page holding hand guns. ”this is one of the consequences of posting pictures that could lead teenagers to get arrested by showing pictures that shouldn’t be posted on their my space or face book even the police are getting involved on those websites to investigate cases in which students are involucrate, and also police have shot down parties with underage drinking after learning about them on my space.

           I think it’s good that the police interact to this kind of stuff such as checking what others are up to, in order to not let others get harm. For example, “police recently have investigated several cases involving teens who were sexually assaulted by men they met on this sites.” Those are the consequences to teenagers who chronicle their lives and socialize with people without knowing the risk or dangers in which they are putting their lives like those teenagers who thinks that the websites are safe but they end up being the victims of sexual abuse because they didn’t care about their actions and reveling themselves to people they don’t know so they end up getting abused just because they met them online which isn’t safe  because of what they say online could hunt them down.

             

stand out speak out.

my opinion about LGBTQ....
        in my opinion about lgbtq is that i don't really care about those people with their sexuality. what i know is that many people discriminates them because of who they are. in my opinion i think we should let others do what they want with their lives and not insulting them. but sometimes i think that god never created people with that kind of genders because i'v heard people and even reading through the bible that it's a sin marrying with others with the same sex. but i think that it's a sin but only god knows why those person likes the person with thee same sex. but i know that it's a sin loving and marrying a person with the same sex. i also think that it's their life and if they feel cool or good that way so it's them not me. i won't talk bad things about them and i would just live it in Gods hand because he is the only one who judges and i won't judge them because i don't want others to judge me except God so i rather stay quiet.!

the crucible essay

DISHONESTY LEADS TO DESTRUCTION

                        Each and every one us has been unchastity in life and it seems as if dishonesty leads to destruction. Author Socrate points out “false word are not evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil”. This quote represents how false representation turns out to be evilness in our souls, because of lying and not being truthful. Once a person comes up with a lie to cover up themselves, that person gets use to it, so it wouldn’t be that hard for them to tell more lies to convince people that they are telling the truth about certain things when they are really lying. Dishonesty leads to evilness, malicious act. The perfect example of a good liar is Abigail Williams in Salem Massachusetts during 1962. Abigail told lies because her uncle Parris discovered her dancing naked with other girls. She told lies about people and it turned in to witch hunt, similarly to McCarthy era, Abigail Williams in The Crucible is an allegory figure to Joseph McCarthy. Like McCarthy she blame others people of having connections with the devil which turned in to witch hunt but, McCarthy told lies about people and it turned in to mass hysteria. Thousands of people were arrested and accused of being communist, which is related to The Crucible when Abigail creates the lies that there were people in Salem that have connections with the devil and that their spirits appears to her and to the other girls, too. Because of her dishonesty many people died. Their lives favor the lives of those who were accused during the McCarty era. Hundreds of lives were devastated, careers were ruined, families destroyed and reputations were demolished because of McCarthy’s dishonesty. Throughout The Crucible

people last their properties, belongings and even their lives, just because of the false accusations against them.

The allegorical, metaphorical and symbolic elements of The Crucible reflect real lives events of the McCarthy era. In The Crucible the witch craft or the devil is an allegory elements that reflects real life events of the McCarthy era, because there were events that complements to McCarthyism such as people accusing others to escape punishment. When Tituba confessed, “look! Have white people belong to me” and I look –and there was Goody Good. Tituba give out names that she saw with the devil, because she was forced to confess because if she tells the truth that she didn’t saw the devil then she would be hang if she did not confessed to having a relationship with the devil. This reflects upon McCarthy era, as with the alleged witches of Salem, suspected communists were encouraged to confess and to identify other Red defenders as mean of escaping punishment .In The Crucible Tituba, Abigail Williams and the other girls started pointing to people that they are practicing witch craft. They accused the people because they did not want to be punish of being dishonest so they blame on others to cover up themselves. So the witch trial started because of the false alarm that Abigail and her friends told the judge. These events are allegory to the real life events of the McCarthy era. Because McCarthy conducted highly controversial investigation intended to abolish out communists sympathizers in the U.S. he told the nation that there were traitors that were giving out information about atomic bombs to the Soviet Union. So he wanted the traitors to be found and to be punished. There are events in The Crucible that are allegorical McCarthy era. People were being accused and were ask questions having to do with witch craft in Salem and numerous were send to jail because they denied that they don’t have nothing to do with the devil and others were hang, because they did not wanted to lie about seen the devil because they were being honest that they didn’t have any relationships with the devil. Without evidence against them they were sentence to death even though if they were innocent. This is related to McCarthy era, people were also questioned during the McCarthy era about their actions and were also ask to identify other Red sympathizer in the U.S and if they were involved with communism. Those who refused to incriminate their friends saw their careers suffer as they were blacklisted from potential jobs. As people began to realize that they might be condemned as communist unconcerned of their innocence many “cooperated” attempting to save themselves trough false confessions, creating the image that the U.S was overrun with communist and perpetuating the hysteria. The People who refuses to give out the name of the person or to testify against them, they were punish to death which is allegorical to the events in The Crucible when Giles Corey, refuses to give the name of the person who told him about Putman accusing people of witch craft for the purpose of attaining their land .Giles says, “why, I-I cannot give you his name. Hathorne’s. “And why not?” Giles “you well why not! He’ll lay in jail   if I give his name!” Giles refused to give the name because he knows that Danforth’s has gotten so out of hand with his power that he will surely throw that person to in jail. Because Giles didn’t give the name, Danforth’s throws Giles in jail for contempt. Because Giles refuse to give the name of that person he chooses to be pressed to death in which stones were placed on his chest and he still refused to give out the name. He did not give up so he died. Similarly, thousands of people lives were destroyed and ruined during the McCarthy era. Because people refused to cooperate with the Un-American Activities Committee so many American’s careers were ruined, destroyed and others were killed and imprisoned, just because they were being honest because they choose to tell the truth that they have nothing to do with communists and similarly to The Crucible people choose to tell the truth that they don’t have any relation with the devil so they were murder. Because of Abigail’s   dishonesty she kept on accusing people because she did not wanted the truth to come out or be discovered that all was a lie. For example, in The Crucible Proctor says, “If she is innocent! Why do you never wonder if Parris be innocent or Abigail?” This means that he thinks that they should be looking at the people pointing the fingers and see if they are so innocent themselves. Because of their dishonesty many innocent people were accused and the ones who aren’t telling the truth they weren’t touch every one believed their lies, which reflects to McCarthy era when McCarthy was pointing out to people that they are involved to communism, when in reality he was the one that the fingers should be pointed at him because he was the one who was lying and that was being dishonest, such as Abigail, the fingers should be pointed at her because she was the one who started the false accusation and the lies she told about witchcraft. 

                   The metaphorical element was used by author Miller in The Crucible. Fear of witch craft as a metaphor. The Crucible uses fear of witch craft in the America of the 1600s as a metaphor for the fear of communism that was wide spread in America in the 1950s because people were accusing all innocent enemies to get rid of them. Abigail Mr. and Mrs. Pitman’s seek revenge against their enemies by accusing them of witch craft. The will of these people can be the will of injustice and barbarity. The metaphor used by Author Miller in The Crucible when Danforth’s, told Putman that he had in his hands an accusation. “He states that you coldly prompted your daughter to cry witchery upon George Jacobs that is now in jail” Giles. “This man is killing his neighbors for their land.” These quotes represent how Mr. Putman accused his enemy and people of witch craft because he wanted their lands. But Putman deny everything. That was told against him because the accusers didn’t have that strong evidence. But Putman had accused people of witchcraft and were imprisoned and they believed him. This is metaphorical to McCarthyism when people accused and testify others in order to escape punishment. Which is metaphorical to The Crucible, people were accusing others to escape punishment. Another metaphor used in the play was when Francis Nurse described to Mr. Hale “my wife is the very brick and mortar of the church…you cannot mean she will be tried in court.” This metaphor describes Rebecca Nurse as the foundation of the church in Salem. A respected figure in the community and that all citizens respect her. As when Abigail starts getting strong with the important people she accused of witch craft and McCarthy did the same thing. He grabs more attention when he accuses important persons such as famous people. The witch craft trial became serious especially when Abigail accused important or well known people, such as Goody Proctor, Rebecca Nurse and Martha Corey. She grabs more attention from the people of Salem, Which is metaphorical to McCarthy when he accused famous and well known people. He grabs more attention from the people because he wanted every one’s eyes on him. He used metaphor to convince people that the U.S was overrun with communists and perpetuating the Hysteria.

In The Crucible there are symbols that reflect on the real life events on McCarthyism. For example the forest symbolizes darkness and evil inside the human soul. This symbol could symbolize Abigail Williams because she had darkness in her heart because of her dishonesty and jealousy she accused people. A symbol that is used in The Crucible is the poppet that was used against Elizabeth proctor of witch craft. Cheever. “So will you hand me any poppet that your wife may keep here Proctor? “Puppets?” Elizabeth. “I never kept any puppets, not since I was a girl.” The puppets used to incriminate Mrs. Proctor represent the superstition and stupidity that incite the zealots of Salem and zealots of any other place and time. Another symbol that is found in Giles Cory Death, “Giles exclaimed, “You know very well why not! He’ll lay in jail if I give his name!” innocent people would be punish if Giles gave names to the court instead; Giles chooses to be presses to death. The heavy weight of stones that were used in the pressing death of Giles Corey symbolizes the weight of the sins committed by the Salem accusers. Which symbolizes to McCarthy era when people were accused of being part of the communism and many people died because they did not wanted to lie like the ones who accused them of being traitors when the traitor was McCarthy, the death of Giles could symbolize the death Giles could symbolize the death of many people that were killed during the McCarthy era lives were ruined families were destroyed and careers were ruined. Abigail and the other girls feared that if the truth comes out there would be a huge problem for them, the lies that McCarthy told about communism had gotten out. He accused others and he lost the trust of the Americans people, like Abigail her reputation looked really bad people looked at her with bad response. It was the same to McCarthy, he wasn’t trustworthy at all. All because of his dishonesty.

                The real life events that occurred in The Crucible are behind the allegorical, metaphorical and symbolic elements that reflect to McCarthy era. The Salem witch trials reveals how it relates to McCarthyism was with the witch hunt in Salem. People were being accused with no evidence against them and they were condemned to death because of Abigail’s dishonesty, innocent lives were ruined and families were torn off. McCarthy’s lie caused mass hysteria. He accused people of communist that they are involved in communism, as Abigail accused people of witch craft. In both cases innocent lives were destroyed careers were ruined and repuwith the true and not with lies.   tation blasted for decades. Lies can’t go far, the truth sooner comes out. We should always tell the truth no matter how painful it is because telling lies leads to destruction to other lives and then there may be some day our lives might be one of those who are suffering because of being dishonest to ourselves and to others. Dishonesty is like a thief who takes away a person’s opportunity to live
