Practice CAT #2

There is a topic practically everybody has an opinion about, it’s the Internet. Many people think the internet is harmful in our society. They point the problem as access to pornography, gambling, drugs, weapons and radical ideologies, as well as computer fraud and identity theft. On the other hand, some people plaudits the benefits of the internet for study, research and communication.  In my opinion I strongly believe internet is helpful. We now engage in cyborgian activity all day long. We use Google to find information, rely on Face book or Twitter to tell us about people we’re interested in, and harness recommendation tools to suggest news stories and cultural events.
                First of all internet is a system of communication, at this time, internet become an important way that people use to communicate. Almost everywhere you go, you see people use internet for something. Some people use internet to find a direction, some use to find a job, to buy a car, some of them use to pay a bills, some people use internet to communicate with their family. For example, I use Hotmail, Gmail and MSN to communicate with my girlfriend, we chat together, she can see me and hear me by internet.  There are many company use internet to show their items and price. Some of them use internet to save data of their company. People should use internet if they want save time and money.
                However, there are many negative things when you go to internet. For instance, a child can have easy access to pornography, as well as computer fraud and identity theft. To set up the problems, many companies provide software can manage access to the internet. In fact the parents have the totally control of the internet connection and all the website.
                Another reason I believe internet is helpful, its online course, I am allow to logon to my classroom from home and any other places as well. I take a take a English course and Math course online, I do some home works and quizzes, I save time and money, I don’t have to worry what clothes I need for tomorrow, because I stay home and enjoy my courses by internet.
                To summarize, we can easily see from these few examples of the most important reasons why a machines work better than humans and why internet is so helpful in the world today. Internet keeping a positive communication, and making people comfortable in their life.

Artifacts 2 : web

A website is programmed to find and change information. At this time, there are several thousand website using Internet to operate in the world. Almost everywhere you go, you see people use a website to do something. Some of them use it for their business like Wal-Mart, Macy’s, Home depot etc. I use MapQest.com to find a direction is very quick and free.

ARTIFACTS 1



Many times, people capture animals for different reasons; they believe animals could help them to make money. People use the skin of animals to make sweaters that help them keep warm during the winter. They use animals to make shoes, belts, wallet, and oil. In reality, all of these items are very useful in our society. They are very indispensable for humans. People need leather to make shoes, belts, wallet, bag; they also need fish for oil for nutrition. They need animals.
 
And those people think the animals have their place in the world. They stated that the torture of animals is a crime to humanity, and that animals should be treated in different way. They helps us everywhere, to transport items, to help people to find direction, and protects people from wild animals, who are very loyal. For all these reasons and many others animal liberation groups undertake activities, like burning fur stores, opening farms, and setting animal free LYNX. Often there are no real solutions to the problem.






I think we have to go to the bottom of the matter. We have to find a solution with non violence. For example, we should discuss with both groups to find the best alternative. In my opinion, massacring animals for money is not a good thing for humanity. That situation affects people in a very negative way.

Archetype

Archetype Idealized model of a person.

My Archetype’s name Jean Jacques Dessalines, He was born in Plaine du Nord near Cap Haitian in September 1758 and died in October 1806. Dessalines was bron as a slave African parents, he became an important leader of the Haitian revolution. In 1791, Jean-Jacques Dessalines joined the slave rebellion of the northern plains. This rebellion was the first action of what would become the Haitian Revolution. Dessalines commanded many successful engagements; including the captures of Jacmel, Petit Goâve, Miragoane and Anse-à-Veau.The rebellious slaves were able to restore most of Saint-Domingue to France. On 18 November 1803, black and mulatto forces under Dessalines and Pétion attacked the fort of Vertières, held by Rochambeau, near Cap François in the north. Rochambeau and his troops surrendered the next day. On 4 December 1803, the French colonial army of Napoleon Bonaparte surrendered its last remaining territory to Dessalines' forces. This officially ended the only slave rebellion in world history which successfully resulted in establishing an independent nation. On 1 January 1804, from the city of Gonaïves, Dessalines officially declared the former colony's independence and renamed it Haiti.
