Was tyreek hill profiled?

20009901_1 — 2024-09-17 18:02:57 UTC

What is profiling? profiling is the analysis of a person's behavioral characteristics. I do not think tyreek hill was profiled. he rolled the window back up while the officer was talking and he was speeding. Then he refused to roll the window back down. But I also think he was profiled a little bit because the officer had the body cam audio muted when the he first pulled him over, also they had 4-5 officers on the scene. What could tyreek hill have done differently? He could have kept his window down instead of disobeying the officer. people think he was profiled because it was 4-5 officers on him but he is the fastest player in the NFL so if he wanted to run he could have, but I don't know why he would run it would probably ruin his life.

The haitian question.

20009901_1 — 2024-10-09 17:46:14 UTC

My opinion about Trumps comments about Haitians is that what he said was uncalled for and disrespectful First, ABC's David muir asked Trump about killing the border bill. Instead of answering the question, trump does what he does best and changes the subject. That's when trump said what he said about Haitians and I know he was talking about Haitians because it was a rumour going around that Haitians were eating cats and dogs in Springfield Ohio.

In my opinion Ms.gay stated the facts and said the right things. She was taking up for the Haitians especially when she said "Haitians won their freedom." She was doing the right thing because she was defending her people. If I got in a situation like that i would have said the same thing maybe even more.

Should schools give students a personal laptop?

20009901_1 — 2024-10-15 17:42:42 UTC

I think schools should give students their own laptop so people who don't have a phone or laptop have the chance to work at home when they have to. Another reason I think schools should give students their own laptop is so you don't have to find a certain laptop with a certain number on it. The last reason I think schools should give students their own laptop is so if it breaks you will know who is responsible for it.

con: Should the voting age be lowered?

20009901_1 — 2024-10-17 18:07:03 UTC

I think the voting age should not be lowered because according to procon.org people under 18 are not mature enough to vote. Another reason I think the voting age should not be lowered is because people under the age of 18 think differently and try new things so I feel as if they might vote for the wrong person. The last reason I think the voting age should not be under 18 is because teens like to follow trends. For example they might want to vote for trump again because of stimulus checks. Someone might make a video saying they are gonna vote for trump because of stimulus checks and it may go viral now we have a bad president. Thinking Trump would do the same (give stimulus checks) when in reality he might do something totally different. Then they might say oh I shouldn't have voted for this person I thought they were gonna do this and that.

Should junk food be banned in schools?

20009901_1 — 2024-10-24 17:54:44 UTC

I think con did better because pro couldn't state where they got the information from that they used in the paragraph con also stated a lot more facts.

Should hw be abolished?

20009901_1 — 2024-10-24 18:05:47 UTC

I think pro was more convincing because I'sis and serenity stated that we already spend more time at school then at home twice as much as the weekend and another day and it is true that we don't have a lot of time to speak to are family.

Should school uniforms be required?

20009901_1 — 2024-10-25 17:38:12 UTC

I think con did better because Carmen had good reason on why uniforms should not be required stating that they could be uncomfortable for some people or not look good on some people. Another reason why con did better is because Carmen stated that only some places have school uniforms and they can be expensive.

Should all museums be free to the public?

20009901_1 — 2024-10-25 17:51:48 UTC

I think con did better because it is true that the museums need money to keep their place up and running and clean. I feel as if you go to a museum you should pay because feel like if you don't pay the museum will probably get dirty or shut down. Another reason I think con did better was because dashawn stated that it would probably be crowded if you didn't pay.

Should statewide testing requirements be eliminated?

20009901_1 — 2024-10-25 18:07:10 UTC

Con was more convincing because tia stated that it's not hard to do and it determines whether you pass the grade or not and it's just multiple choose.

Should statewide testing be eliminated?

No, she was not convincing she talked too fast. I also feel as if she had an attitude while talking.

The Great Debaters

20009901_1 — 2024-11-08 18:42:08 UTC

I think that the reason the man said they have the most important job is because he has to teach the young. I also think the reason they are trying out for the debate team is so they can learn how to debate and teach the next generation.15:45.

The Great Debaters.

I feel as if the people learning on the debate team are getting smarter than Mr. talason and countering the questions Mr. talason kept asking. When the white man said "you done killed my hog boy!" Mr. farmer's dad had to give the only money they had to pay the white man or he was going to kill him maybe even his son because he wouldn't get back in the car that why his dad said "when I say get back in the car you get back in the car!". They also talked about how blacks were
