2. I support E.M. Foster’s position in this quote because those you love should be valued over your allegiances.
3.The U.S. pulling out of Afghanistan is long overdue, but the process was rushed in ways that have left many Americans on foreign soil

5. The teacher’s response should be to find out how and why they plagiarized the assignment, and punish them with plausible actions.

Lindsey Good, Emma Garcia, Andrea Mendez, Lauren Donohue https://padlet.com/nsmcdonald/wq3ff79293kwgkj9/wish/1771793745 1. While some may argue that single-sex classrooms are beneficial for the education and focus, I believe that single-sex are unrealistic with real-world situations and creates problems in communication with the opposite sex that is needed to be a functioning adult.
2.  While some may argue that the better of the country is most important, E.M. Foster believes otherwise due to the fact that her morals point her towards friendship and away from patriotism.
3. While some believe that when arguing there may never be a middle ground, I believe that with listening and compromising, there can be an agreement.
4. While some view advertisement as an attack on individuality and persuasion, I personally believe that it is a great way to get your business out in the world.
5. While plagiarism is rampant in public high schools, I think that teachers should be forgiving, and only take fifteen points off of a plagiarized assignment. ]]> 2021-09-27 16:38:09 UTC https://padlet.com/nsmcdonald/wq3ff79293kwgkj9/wish/1771793745 Adaliz, Blake, Nolan, Ryan H, Ryan A, Carl, Ky https://padlet.com/nsmcdonald/wq3ff79293kwgkj9/wish/1771803288 1. Public schools should be opposed to same sex classrooms because diverse opinions and social skills are needed in the workplace and real world.

2. The idea of friendship is most important because it allows someone to have your back no matter what and it gives you someone to express your emotions.

3. Tobacco should remain illegal for anyone under 21 because of the constant amount of purchases for under age friends by kids that were 18 when it was legal.

4. I disagree with this statement because if a person has an opinion before viewing the ad it's less likely to change their viewpoint.

5. Teachers should respond to plagiarism by giving a subtraction of points and giving time for a redo.]]> 2021-09-27 16:41:11 UTC https://padlet.com/nsmcdonald/wq3ff79293kwgkj9/wish/1771803288 Brandith, Gabrielle, and Patience https://padlet.com/nsmcdonald/wq3ff79293kwgkj9/wish/1771803882 1. Same - sex classrooms are not beneficial because it doesn't teach students to adapt to the real world and it doesn't give the opportunity to accept other peoples differences.
2. I agree that you should value your friendships more than your country because you don't necessarily owe anything to your country and you also have to keep in mind that you've gone through so much with your loved ones, rather than with your country.
3. The poverty rate in Colombia is rising in the rural communities because of the lack of roads, lack of electricity, and the lack of drinkable water.
4. Advertising does not degrade the people it appeals to because not everyone responds the same to the rhetorical appeal and it just opens up their mind to different options.
5. All plagiarized pieces should result in a zero because it is taking the creativity of someone else's work and it doesn't originality. ]]> 2021-09-27 16:41:22 UTC https://padlet.com/nsmcdonald/wq3ff79293kwgkj9/wish/1771803882 https://padlet.com/nsmcdonald/wq3ff79293kwgkj9/wish/1771810448 1.EF

I believe that same-sex classrooms are really old fashioned and outdated, as these two types of classrooms are created on an older era for religious matters.
2) While choosing to not betray your friend us a respectable choice, it is in fact betraying your duty to your country. Friends are the ones people hold dearest to them, but overall the decision should be for the good of the people and not just for the interest of one.
3) Although the removal of digital access from classrooms migates academic dishonesty and ensures the information is installer in the students mind, digital access is a privilege and should be used as so. With more than 4 billion people without digital access it's considered a luxury and can’t be removed from everyday classrooms because of it's convince my, and valuable uses.
4) Although advertising is often purposely misleading, it is not taking away people’s free will, and businesses have to be able to convince vast audiences.
5) Although every educator will react differently to this situation, when a student plagiarizes work they need to be disciplined in one way or another. One teacher might give a student a zero on their work, while another might let the student re-do the assignment but just lose a few points on it.]]> 2021-09-27 17:03:36 UTC https://padlet.com/nsmcdonald/wq3ff79293kwgkj9/wish/1771870903 G, Bianca, Bryce, Maddie, Ava agrigg584 https://padlet.com/nsmcdonald/wq3ff79293kwgkj9/wish/1772322672
  • Although people may believe that having same-sex classrooms is beneficial because it removes distractions that come with interactions between different genders, it does not prepare students for the real world in the work place and in society. (Effective)
  • Although it is important to stay loyal to one's own country as it protects its people in the long run, being loyal to a friend is more important as it affects you directly, for you see them in day to day life. (Effective)
  • Although the covid vaccine is a global topic that raises many conflicts and controversies, getting most of the human population to agree that getting vaccinated is better for the world will solve two issues, it will decrease the number of deaths because of covid, and would end many conflicts. (Ineffective)
  • While some may argue that advertising abducts people’s minds, preventing them from making free choices, I believe that people are smarter than advertising and are educated enough to make smart choices when buying products. (Effective) 
  • While plagiarism is a very large problem in the school system, I believe that teachers should become more aware of it, and create stricter lesson plans in order to prevent it. Ineffective

  • Although some argue that same-sex classrooms are beneficial to an individual’s academics and center of attention, I believe that single-sex classroom aren’t related to real-world situations and ill-prepares people for the future such as in college or work environments. EF
  •  Although some people may believe betraying your country over a friend is the right choice to make, going against your own country is an illegal act of treason and goes against all morals of loyalty.  EF
  • Most people believe that there are no major negative repercussions from vaping as a teenager, however multiple studies prove the opposite. Vaping as a teen not only develops a strong addiction to nicotine, but it also slows brain development and may cause serious irreversible lung damage. EF
  • Although advertising may influence the opinion of the audience, proper advertising can promote facts and provide substantial evidence that can create a premise for an audience to form their own opinion without coercion. EF
  • While some people may believe if a student plagiarizes an assignment, teachers should automatically fail them, teachers should first address the issue with their students to gauge why a student may have cheated in order to properly mitigate the root of the issue and prevent repetition of plagiarism.

Same-sex classrooms should be banned from schools because it is completely unrealistic to the outside world full of diversity, produces prejudice ideals, and prevents the development of many social skills. 

    2.Friendship is an important life lesson that needs to be learned, once you understand the value of friendship you too would choose your friends over your country.

    3.  A big conflict currently occurring is discrimination and hate speech which can be helped by opening up more opportunities to allow for diversity. 

    4. I agree that advertising degrades the people and takes away their choices because it stereotypes the people that it tries to appeal to which means either it appeals to you or it doesn’t put you into groups; taking away the choice to like it or not.

    5. Teachers should entirely void plagiarized work given to them. This is due to the fact that  plagiarism has run through high school and colleges. Nobody is learning, they are turning in work made by others and trying to make it their own.

    2) Our group supports E.M. Foster's position in the quote due to the fact that countries can be every changing with new leaders but friends are there for you when government leaders most likely will not.  (IF)

    3) Global warming is an important global issue that sparks a lot of controversy because some people believe that global warming is nonexistent while others point out the disappearing habitats and increasing global temperature. (EF)

    4) Our group disagrees with the quotation because even though companies push their beliefs or products onto people, we still have the will to choose whether or not we support that company. (IF)
