I watch "2020 Vision" by Carl Fisch. it was about how he thinks the world will be in the year 2020. It is interesting to think about how society will have changed from now till then. I also like how he told about it like he was actually in the future. This effects me because if any of this is true it will most likely have an influence on me in one way or another. This effects education because there were many things he talked about with education like how all lessons will be sold as podcasts which would be very helpful to me because i sometimes have a short attention span. This effects the world because all of his predictions are about how the world will be in the future and the changes it will make.

I read "Rapper T.I. arrested on machine gun charges" on the CNN blog. T.I. has been arrested many times and once for machine gun charges and is a convicted felon. His body guard went informant and they found three machine guns and two silencers on the rapper. T.I. provided his bodyguard $12,000 to get him the weapons. This effects me because i have many role models and if something like this happened to them I would loose my admiration for them. This effects education because many students looked up to him and still do and if any of them think its okay to have guns and they bring one to school something can go horribly wrong. this effects the world because there are many other people out there like T.I. which shows that the world can be a very dangerous place.

In the article “Rigor Redefined” by Tony Wagner, he talks about jobs today and how it is getting harder and harder to get a job after graduating from college.He also talks about how some students are not learning what the need to succeed in school. Schools need to be more interactive with the learning that goes on and teachers need to get the students involved with what they’re learning to gain these traits. This effects me because I am a student and I need to make sure that I am getting what i need from my education to succeed. This effects educations because our schools need to make sure that they are teaching us to be philanthropists because the rest is up to us. This effects the world because we are the future, and if we are not getting the right skills we need from school then our world could get progressively worse. Education and learning is a huge part of every ones lives and if plays a huge part in determining our jobs so we need to make sure that we are getting everything we possibly can from this world.

I read " Bernie Cardell Speaks out on gay suicides" by John Moore, it is about how many teenagers are killing them self's due to their insecurities about the way they are. In 2006 according to the youth risk survey homosexuals are 4 times more likely to commit suicide than the heterosexual people around them. This effects me because i didn't realize that this was still a critical issue today. This effect education because it is the board of educations partial responsibility to teach non bullying and to teach us how to live in a society together. This effects the world because this is happening all over the world and same sex marriage is still illegal in many states which i don't understand, i thought we were passed this issue. We don't have different bathrooms for different races anymore so i don't understand how some people are so against the idea of same sex marriage.
