how it applies to me

828448_1 — 2024-09-04 02:02:15 UTC

I would say this applies under Outside Experiences and History (current events), because it's something I've seen often since I work at Starbucks. Some people just want a black coffee and of course, I politely get it for them. Yet some people just order a Venti (large) hot mocha, or a warmed up Cheese Danish and end up waiting 6-10 minutes just for that one item.

This quote really stuck out to me - "Although Mr. Niccol’s appointment drove up Starbucks’s stock price, the two companies sometimes have the same problem: too many choices and not enough staff, which at peak times is almost certain to deliver disappointment as much as it does burritos or lattes."

It stuck out to me because whenever I work early on weekends, there is ALWAYS a backup in drive thru or cafe. The customers expect their drinks to be ready in a minute/2 minutes, yet they ordered a blended drink with SO many customizations. Don't even get me started on ordering on the app. Some people have the longest sticker, and I just wonder how much it costed them. This fuels my desire to argue, because I agree with the author. I see this happen almost everyday, it's so ridiculous. I mostly work in drive thru taking people's orders/payment, and I've seen some orders as high as $60 and as low as $3 before, but never lower than $3. I'm very passionate about this, and it's silly when an old guy is waiting in the window for 6 minutes for a Tall (small) black coffee. It's crazy.

School Uniforms are Restricting

This text has informed my opinion and help clarify my argument by confirming that uniforms do restrict freedom of expression, since they can't dress how they want to, and may feel judged due to their body size if the uniform is too tight or too loose.

The article connects Thematically with my book because they both address the challenges teenagers face in navigating social media while balancing their own privacy and protection. They both explore solutions for protecting teens online, while focusing on finding a middle ground between safeguarding them and allowing them the space to learn and grow independently online.

How did this speaker use the rhetorical mode of definition to develop his/her argument?

The use of definition as a rhetorical mode allowed Sutherland to break down complex ideas into parts that are easier to understand. His ability to reframe dull experiences (like having the timer on the stop light in South Korea) in a psychological context makes his argument more engaging because it challenged the audience to reconsider their assumptions about life, people, etc. He also pointed out that things are not what they are; they are what we think they are. Along with things are what we compare them to. The title is something I agree with. Like in the beginning, he mentioned a drinks party. At that party, you see someone staring out of the window with a drink, which makes you think "what's up with them?" but if you saw someone staring out the window smoking, you would think they're incredibly cool. Perspective does really change how we view our life.

How did this article fuel your exigence and/or boost your Domains of Knowledge?
this article fueled my exigence because I have started to see what the author is saying more recently nowadays. I know my parents really want grandchildren, yet they prioritize their child being happy in what they're doing more than anything. This makes me want to write more often and notice how parents feelings have changed since the past. I know my grandma was growing up in a time where her parents really wanted her to marry and have as many kids as possible. Right now, my cousin is married and in his early 20s, yet there have been no talk about children from him or his family. This makes me fascinated with how different the times are now, along with gender roles.

New York Times Article, on the Left side

Differences : The Federalist uses more emotional, charged language, while the New York Times uses a neutral, fact-based tone.

The Federalist frames Democrats as trying to undermine the system for power, while the NYT focuses on the historical context of elections and mentions specific instances where the Electoral College led to controversy.

Federalist emphasizes rural states' protections, while nyt highlights the political debate without taking a stance

Similarities : both mention democratic criticism of the electoral college system, but heavily referencing the 2000 and 2016 elections

both articles cover the same event regarding Walz's remarks and the ongoing debate about the Electoral College

storytelling conveys big ideas like grief, love, and healing by drawing readers into the author's personal journey. Through her experiences such as balancing caring for her terminally ill father and navigating a budding relationship, concepts like emotional pain and vulnerability become visible. The story highlights how a simple text flirtation evolves into a lifeline, showing how human connection can provide comfort in times of grief. I really liked this story and how Radio Boy was there for the girl, even if they weren't an item. He was there for her, just by talking, and he didn't even realize how much he helped ease some of her pain due to her father passing. I think that's so wholesome.

A topic I came across was the use of technology by teens and how excessive it is. I was shocked to read this story, and I can see both perspectives. The boy got so attached to a chatbot, that he lost touch with reality and forgot that it wasn't a real person. That's scary to think about. He lost touch with reality, and often isolated himself so he could talk to the AI for hours. I wonder if we should limit technology usage and if that would be more successful than no limits? It's a good topic for my project, since I love researching about teenagers, excessive screen time, and AI. The mom even sued character.ai for her son's suicide, and the creators said they were sorry, but nothing else. There should at least be limits on character.ai where if you say something concerning, such as "I'm thinking of killing/cutting myself" or anything along those lines, someone should be notified in case something were to happen.

I probably will use this clip as footage because Vice President Kamala Harris is speaking in this clip and she is an important figure in society since she's also in the 2024 election in November. She spoke about how this one woman who was passionate about what she does, yet was constantly worrying about what to afford and said she forgave her student loans. That was $40,000 after 20 years of paying them off. I was SHOCKED by how much she had left, yet I'm grateful that Vice President Kamala Harris forgave her debt since she prioritizes education and passion. This is definitely a good resource in my project.

In Daniel Goldstein's talk, "The Battle Between Your Present and Future Self" explores how short-term decisions impact long-term goals, highlighting the challenge of balancing present desires with future financial stability which is a core issue in college debt. I learned about how people struggle to prioritize long-term financial health over immediate spending, which often leads to rising debt. Goldstein's insights on future planning connect well to the college debt crisis and why students often feel overwhelmed by their loans later on.

I could use footage from this talk to emphasize how college debt impacts future financial security, showing how debt limits students' ability to make financial decisions while focusing on their future.
