Blog #9

The Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) procedure with the body scanner caused some passengers to feel uncomfortable to go through it. They even considered this procedure to violate their freedom rights, as in the case of John Tyner, who refused to go through the full body scanner and the pat down at the airport. He considered it as sexual assault. What made him get mad the most was the pat down, not only because it was an invasion of his freedom, but because it was demeaning. Although they explained to him the steps that were going to be performed beforehand, still the pat down was extremely offensive, because it is like being rape without consent. I think there should be a line drawn in the TSA procedures, whether using the body scans or metal detectors, but not the pat down and the physical touching by itself is very offensive and humiliating. John Tyner’s incident certainly might be encouraging people to take a stand on their right of their privacy and opt for other traveling alternatives, rather than allowing tyrant authorities overstep their freedom. Traveling by airplane will no longer be a pleasant experience for passengers, unless the Federal Government does some adjustments on their policies for travelers.

Letter Response

Dear Mr. Gilliam:

I admit that the college is considering raising the tuition for the students, due to state government has contemplated to withdrawn his support from incoming years. It is understable that almost of the three fourths of the students expenses are sustain financially by the county taxpayers and state, and that may result in students paying higher fees than they used to. However, I’d like to suggest that you take in consideration the income of each student in order that those in need, or less income can have access to College Education services and that way continuing their education. Otherwise, the lack of affordable tuition may impede them to maintain their next semester courses, resulting that many students drop out. It has been shown that students who do not have financially support of fine sponsors like those mention above, get discourage easily and failed to continue their education. In addition, some of them are unemployed, which means higher chance of putting their education on hold. Even worse, they may become a great burden to the government in the future because their lack of necessary skills. For this reason, I strongly encourage you to weigh up the students necessities, before taking the appropriate measurements.

Blog # 5 My sister inspired

My sister inspired me.

Angelica, my sister, inspire me in my life. She is a woman with an astound initiative, often taking new responsibilities in life, even that signify a challenge for her.She inspired me because she has done whatever she had proposed herself in life to accomplish her goals and commitments. Obstacles do not seem be a problem for her, even though she sometimes recognize do not possesses the skills to start a project or accept a challenge. Her positive attitude surpass the unknown. One of the challenges she faced was learning another language to help people in the missionary field. She just scarcely was acquainted with the English language when she took the challenge to help others in the missionary field. Not knowing the language at all, she decided to moved in an English congregation in Mexico, and then she engaged with foreign people in order t learn the language. What impress me about her is that she did not consider her limitations with regard to the language. Instead she focused on the joys she would receive from help others to draw near to God, Not only that but she does not seem to be embarrassed of her strong accent, nor people in rural areas that might make her feel uncomfortable for not been fluent at all. She is a good example of courage and confidence to me.
