The Beguiling Truth About Beauty

Question: In paragraph 5, Flora says, "Our brains have a built-in hot-or-not meter that never stops gathering data. "Is this statement true for you? 

Answer: I somewhat believe this is true. Our minds are always functioning and receiving new information and continuing to learn all the time. However, I don't really have a firm belief that our minds have a built- in hot-or-not meter. That just seems a little far fetched for my understanding about the mind. Our minds are capable of a lot of outstanding things that we sometimes don't even understand. And that's the beauty of the human mind, and I believe that we won't comprehend our full potential of our own minds. 

#6 Comparison-Contrast

Before my reading of this essay I didn't know what to think. The title didn't really say anything that gave me an idea of what this piece of writing was going to be about. The beginning sentence was The cultural differences between Hispanic and Anglo-American people. 

After reading this essay I was later informed about the difference between these two types of people. It explained who they were as a people and were they came from and about their early history and background. It was interesting to learn more about these people and to go more in depth about who they were and what they were like. I enjoyed this essay because I learned about the cultural differences about these people and I find culture an interesting subject. 

Columbine Shooting

After reading the story about this columbine shooting I was shocked at how much violence was going on. It was a big eye opener to me. To answer the question "Should the columbine victims sue Jackson county"? In my opinion I would say no because before that point in time the officers on the scene did what they were trained to do on a case like this.
They did all they knew how to do at that moment and reflected on how they were trained for this sort of event, and just followed orders and training that they had received and how to go about this type of situation.
