Blog #15: Revision of CATW 2

 In the passage "The Women Who Died In The Waiting Room" By Jeneen Intetland, Esmin Green was a patient in a waiting room at the Brooklyn's largest psychiatic hospital. No one had bothered to check on her. She had fallen of her chair and she started twisting and turning it didnt help her get up or anything, she had died in the floor just like that. A nurse walked into the waiting room 40 minutes later and saw that Esmin Green was on the floor and wasn't moving no more. The nurse checked if Esmin was okay by lightly kicking her, the nurse found out Esmin had died. Esmin Green was in a room with security cameras, nobody had bothered to check on her or how she was doing. It was a surprise to them for how she died, the City Medicals had examined her blood and found out that she had blood clots. This is what lead to her death.

 The quote that i chose to do was, "public hospitals across the country have struggled to provide actue psychiatric care to the poor and uninsured since the early 1960's". I chose this quote because some how i feel as if brings it all together. There are tens of millions of people that need treatmennt, with only 50,000 beds across the country. There are poor, uninsured, undocumented people that have health problems and alot have chronic conditions, if they dont have what is needed like insurance or money they can't be treated.

 Another reason for why I chose this quote was because if they were able to provide psychiatric care to the uninsured, poor, and undocumented Esmin Green would not have died, she would of gotten cared for, and nurses will check on them. Even though the health care can't be provided for every one I understand why they would only go for the people that are insured or have money. The doctors need to get paid and medication and supplies cost money.

 I wonder, would it of made a difference if Esmin had money or insured? would they of taken care of her faster if she did. I think that someones health is something that you should not play with because anything could kill you and if you are able to help someone you should. Insurence or health care is something that should get offered to every one no matter how wealthy they are or if they are poor.

 Esmin Green died in a waiting room. If the nurse or anyone would of seen her when she was dying ,they would of probably helped her right on the spot. They would of worried about her insurance or how she would pay but later after she is safe.

Blog 7: The Heroic Choices in The Matrix

In the movie the matrix, the main character neo is put through different choices.  He has to make a right choice he isn’t informed of what will be the result but he just does what he thinks is right. I think that in the movie matrix neo would be considered a hero because when he was released from the matrix and brought into the real world he wasn’t feeling conferrable and he just wasn’t sure of what was happening. What I think makes neo a hero was that looked out for every one in his group I remember in the movie when neo had gone into this building and had déjà vu. Every body worried about saving him but when they tried to get away morpheus stayed back to try and hold the bad guy so they didn’t get to neo but even though neo was safe neo wanted to go back and help him. I don’t really remember many examples of what neo had done but there was this one time when neo had gotten into a helicopter tied him self up from the waist and went to morpheus rescue with trinity. Some choices that neo was put through were that in the beginning he had to pick if he took either the red pill or the blue pill. Neo didn’t really have many choices it was more of decision already made for him. When neo and his group were in the matrix, he would always let them go ahead to make sure that they are okay. i think that the reason neo would take more of a risk was because he didn’t really know much about the matrix or the real world so if anything was to happen to him. His group will still be able to continue nothing bad happened to him because he was the one.

Blog 6: Response to "I Know the Truth..."

In the reading “I know the truth so don’t bother me with facts” the author explains to us, why should we believe what all the people tell, us just because they are in a higher position than us it doesn’t mean that everything that they will tell you is right about our economy. They say that some astronauts have gone the moon and that they stayed up there. They told us that there will not built a cultural center where the world trade center was destroyed but that it will be built a distance away from it. They had gathered 750 people that knew something about the cultural central and then to see if they believed one of the rumors about it then they had shown them evidence to see if they would change their mind.

I think that the only reason people believe something is because they don’t really think about it for them self’s. They just go with the crowed, some of the people that believe in something will deny everything else that people show them even if you are to show them evidence, they will not care they will still believe in what they want. The government tells us a lot of things, but how many of them are real? People shouldn’t believe anything unless they see some evidence for them self’s. Some of the things that the government of some one in higher authority tell us aren’t true because every one must have a secret, so there are people that lie top us about something so we don’t get shocked in other words they might try to protect us by lying to us but I think that it is wrong for them to try and hide something when it comes to our economy.

I think that the author tries to tell us what we would believe if we were to be in front of the facts would we still believe in what we say or would we start to change our mind about our thoughts

Blog 16: Type CATW practice 3

The passage "How to Do One Thing at a Time" tells us that people who do one thing at a time have a better chance of doing an activity correct, rather than people who multi-task. In stand for university they experimented. They gathered a group of people, and split them up. One group spent 30 minutes chatting, writing a short essay, and making a play list; these are the multi-taskers. The other group did the same things but instead of doing it all at the same time, they spent 10 minutes for each thing. Their results were that people did a better job by doing one thing at a time instead of doing everything at once.

            I do agree that it’s better to do one thing at a time instead of multi-tasking. From personal experience there was this one time when I had to do my h.w help my brother with his h.w, and cook. As a result my h.w was wrong my brother missed 2 questions and the food was over cooked. I’m positive I would have done everything better, if I took my time and focused on each thing at a time. I also agree that multi-tasking isn’t the right thing because my friend tries at times but ends up barely finishing anything.

The authors main idea of the passage was to inform us that multi-tasking prevents out brain from been able to do anything correctly.

Blog 14: Learning from another ENG 99

    

From the three posts that I read, I found Post 3 to be in more of a proper form. I do think that post 3 is the best out of these three because in the beginning of her essay she summarizes  it and she doesn’t give her opinion, in her first paragraph she explain what the idea is "Reality T.V"  and she talks about what they want in order for people to be "Reality TV".  In her second paragraph she paraphrased a quote and I think she did a good job because she explained it well. In her third paragraph she related the reading to her life. She had also done a decent conclusion, if it was up to me I would have passed this because out of all three this one was the passing one. I don’t think I did learn anything from these posts; I would rank this one a 6 out of 10. I would pick Post2 to be the second best. In the beginning of his summary he gave his opinion correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think we are supposed to do that. I don’t think I have much to say about this post but I don’t know if he is agreeing with the reading or against because in one paragraph I think he is saying it’s okay to go and try to be in "Reality TV" and in the other one he says it's a risk for future doctors etc. so I don’t know if he is agreeing or disagreeing. But in general I don’t think I would pass this, I didn’t learn anything knew, and I would rate it a 4 out of 10. Finally I would pick Post3 the last post, the reason was because he was just summarizing this paragraph one after the other. Also because he gave his opinion in the summary and you’re not supposed to do that. The way that he has it setup didn’t really get my attention I kept getting lost.  I don’t think I learned anything new. I would rate these 4 out of 10.

In the passage "The Women Who Died In The Waiting Room" By Jeneen Intetland, Esmin Green was a patient in a waiting room at the Brooklyn's lasrgest psychiatic hospital. Nobody was looking out for herin her time of need, when she had hopelessly fallen of her chair, she was twisting and turning for 20 minutes but it didn't help her. A nurse walked into the waiting room 40 minutes later and saw that Esmin Green was on the floor and wasn't moving no more, the nurse checked if Esmin was okay by lightly kicking her, the nurse found out Esmin had died. Esmin Green was in a room with security cameras, nobody had bothered to check on her or how she was doing.

Blog 12: Consequentialism

In the movie "Gone Baby Gone" there is a situation, The police captain, Remy, and Lionel had taken Amanda away from her mom. Remy and Lionel had given Amanda to the police captain so his family and him could take care of her. People thought she got kidnapped but Amanda was taken away from her mother Helene because she was a drug addict . Helene didn't take care of Amanda, would go out to get high and not care about who takes care of her daughter. Patrick and Angie were the detectives that got hire to solve the case about amanda who kidnapped her and where she was.
Patrick and angie didn't know that the captain had taken her. Angie saw what type of person Helene was, and when they fouund out that the captain had taken her, Angie agreed that it would of been better if Amanda stayed with the captain and be sure that amanda was safe. at the end of the movie Patrick told on the captain because he promised Helena he would get her kid back . Helena kept on saying how she would change if she got Amanda back but at the end she didn't change she was the same as before. Patrick would go check on them and saw that Amanda would of been better of with The Captain.  Patrick started to change his mind about what he had done, angie left him because she didn't agree with what his decision to make take Amanda back to her mom, she wanted Amanda do be with the captain anything except the mom.
In the movie they show us a bit of Ethical absolutism and Consequentialism.
Ethical Absolutism is when you belive that when something happens there is no good side or bad side to it . If you belive in ethical absolutism you would think of hitler and osamas death as just a murder not something to be happy about. You wouldn't think of it as justice . murder is murder a lie is a lie it doesn't matter because if you killed some one you just killed them you didn't do it for a good cause . if you lie you lied you dont lie for a good cause or a bad cause. this is what patrick believes in it was wrong for them to take Amanda and lie about it she belongs with her mom.

Consequentialism is when you do something for a good result that helps out others. when you are little your parents tell you lies about santa: etc but they don't do it to be mean to you they do it so that you can be happy and they get the result they want your happyness. if you believe in Consequentialism you believe that hitler and osamas death was a good thing because they wont harm more people. this is what The police Captain , Remy, Angie and Lionel believed in they took Amanda from her mom so she could be safe and have a good future, they didn't want her to end up like her mom . so Consequentialism is what you do your way to get the results you want.

I think that the movie shows more of a Consequetialism side because  in the movie Patrick shot the guy that raped and killed little kids, he did it because he wanted to make sure the guy won'tdo it anymore. I think that patrick has two sides to him self . Remy as well he had planted cocaine as evidence because he had seen some parents house, and they were addicts but their kid was good he was neat, smart and decent. he used that cocaine as evidence to get the parents taken away and the kid to go to a better place. That also goes for The Captain ,Angie and Lionel they had taken amanda from her mom no matter if it was wrong . They wanted whats they thought was good for her

I think its just what way you view things.
