Plagiarism: Blurred Lines

     Access to the Internet is quite readily available to almost everyone in America. Whether is be going to the public library, or Internet access at home. Rich or poor it's available to pretty much everyone who needs to use it. Having the Internet to get needed information is so nice and easy compared to how older people just to have to do research. People used to have to find books and read and read for their needed information. Now-a-days you can get what you need with one simple click of the mouse. Although the accessibility is great to have, it also makes students lazier.
     In the article it mentioned how readiness has an impact on why plagiarism is so much more acceptable. In middle school and high school most English teachers don't truly prepare you for the next big step in your life. Going to college. Readiness going into college keeps you from making the silly mistakes, but in this case it can keep you from breaking the law. Plagiarism is nothing small to be dealt with yet people find that giving credit to where it rightfully needs to be given is just a waste of time. Because of all the access to Internet and constant social networking reading something off a website and copy and pasting seems to be the best way to get an assignment done. In the article it mentioned that taking information off a website people find it easier to claim it as their own work. While it's a lot harder to claim someone else's work in a tangible form. I completely agree with what they said. Having a tangible article helps in making people realize that it's not their work, and they cannot copy what people say.
     Plagiarism is an ongoing problem and I believe it will continue to be. Hopefully the problem finds a solution, but sadly I think as Internet and technology become more readily available the problem will increase. I just hope people will be smart enough and honest enough to create their own work, or at least give credit to thoughs who put in the work.

Analytical Essay Proposal: Title IX

     The equality between men and women seems to waver between various situations. I am not a feminist in the slightest, but I do believe that there are many things that could be better through the equality of women. Title IX has given the opportunity to women to be able to have the chance to participate as a whole. Most people believe that Title IX only has to do with college athletics, but the law actually has 10 different categories that fall under it; allowing the equality of men and women. There have always been controversy that comes with the law. For example the dispute that more men have interest in sports more than women. But all in all has the Title IX law been passed for the better? I believe it's made a tremendous impact on the equality of genders.

Reading Responce 5: Insurgent

The second book in the Divergent series is Insurgent. Beatrice who is called Tris most of the time, and Tobias who is also called Four are the main characters in the book. There are other important characters in the book also. There are Johanna, Peter, Marcus, Susan and Jeanine. Tris and Tobias like each other more and more every time they are together. Despite the fact that they are constantly having to deal with problems of all the factions they still find time to be alone and have a romantic love life. Their passion for each other comes from deep inside them from all of their experiences together and their pasts that they have confided in each other about. Tris and Tobias are originally from Abnegation and transferred to Dauntless. It wasn't until later that Tris finally discovered that Tobias was divergent, also! All the similarities between them drive them together and create a relationship that cannot be tampered with. Together they are unstoppable. In the beginning of Insurgent Tris, Tobias, Peter and Marcus escaped from the devastated faction of Abnegation in fear of the Erudite leaders trying to take over all of the factions. The faction Amity took them and the other survivors of Abnegation in and used their faction as a safe house. But little did Abnegation know that Amity was debating on keeping them safe from Erudite. Amity has a friendship with both factions and they did not want to disturb the peace that they have created for themselves. Once Abnegation found out that they wouldn't keep them safe they had to make decisions that can alter their way of living. They have to leave the compound of Amity and go back to the Abnegation compound without knowing what is in store for them. Before they were about to leave the compound, Erudite leaders made a surprise visit searching for the people who escaped from the Abnegation compound while they were under attack. At first the people of Amity helped the Abnegation people by keeping silent and keeping the peace in the compound. But as the Erudite and traitor Dauntless soldiers looked around they discovered Tobias because of the tattoos on his neck. Immediately things started to become out of control. Many people that were in Abnegation were killed; nearly all of them. The only people left were Tris, Four, Susan and Marcus. They are now out in the world outside of the compound on their own. What will they do? Will the Erudite leaders find them? "Where are the others?" whispers Susan. I say, "Gone." The quote above gives a slight view of what may happen in the rest of book. How many more people will they lose? I think there are going to be many sacrifices made here in the next few chapters and I'm excited to see which way Veronica Roth takes her piece of writing. Gone. Almost everyone is gone and killed by people who just want to have ultimate power. The Erudite leaders will do anything to get what they want. Are Tris and Tobias willing to do anything to redeem their original faction? Not only that, but how will the relationship between Tris and Four change?
