The story of Hae Lee’s death is filled with so many lies, fibs, and plot holes. I think all of those things make this podcast very intriguing and it hooks you in. Sarah Koenig had put so much energy into this podcast just for her to end up being inconclusive. Looking at all of the evidence can help you come up with your own opinion. After examining the evidence and listening to the podcast, I have come to believe that Adnan is guilty, because he seemed unaffected by the disappearance of his ex-girlfriend.…
I went to Precious Memories Child Care for my site visit. Precious Memories’ mission is to provide day care for children who have been rejected from other care facilities or schools for either financial or behavioral reasons. Most of the children at precious memories are from low-income households. This background predisposes these children to significant current and future health problems. In a 2000 study of low-income children who were being placed into foster care: 44% of children had an identified health problem and 92% had at least one physical abnormality.…
Throughout history we’ve always had catalyst that changed the course of time. Whether it was good or bad, on purpose or on accident they created a movement. The top three most influential agents were Ice Cube, the birth control pill, and women’s suffrage. What ties these 3 are the stereotypes that were created for them and how they changed them. Hip hop emerged in the late 1970’s and was developed by the lower income districts, mainly within the African American and Hispanic communities (History of Hip Hop 1).…

This sparked a huge movement across the nation, which would later be called the Black Lives Matter Movement. The United States is not a place of social justice because Trayvon Martin was murdered due to his race, his killer was not arrested, and in a deeper sense, the system didn’t rightfully deal with this situation. For years, African Americans…
In America’s vast history there have been many inspirational individuals that have made an enormous impact on the the way people look at life and the cultural scene. As the average American grows up, they often idolized or are inspired by individuals who have impacted the American culture.

In every aspect of life, American Icons can be seen, from rebels to politicians, from war heroes to entertainers, and from saints to sinners. The arts entertainers are no different and there is one specific icon who has influenced the entertainment world in various ways: Bruce Lee.…

She was one of the professionals featured in the documentary. Since she is an activist, who actually lived through historical events from the film, she deserves all credibility to serve as a primary source. The stories she spoke about in the film are her first hand encounters as a black woman who lived through the 1960s. For example, when explaining the moment she almost was locked up and imprisoned, she says, “That's why when someone asks me about violence, I just find it incredible because what it means is that the person who's asking that question has absolutely no idea what black people have gone through, what black people have experienced in this country since the time the first black person was kidnapped from the shores of Africa”.…
I think that these website are great! They will defiantly be added to my teacher file to us in the future. I really like the Plane Math website. I can understand why it is award winning. As someone who is not gifted at math, I understand how hard it can be for some students.…
In Howard Rheingold’s 1993 journal, A slice of life in my virtual community, he writes about the varying degrees of communities and whether or not a virtual community is in fact a real one, “When a group of people remain in communication with one another for extended periods of time, the question of whether it is a community arises. Virtual communities might be real communities, they might be pseudo- communities, or they might be something entirely new in the realm of social contracts,” (178). With the age of the internet, the idea of a virtual community was born through online platforms, but the Internet was not always what it is today so virtually communities were somewhat unknown. Rheingold describes the idea of the third place, the place…
Serial is a podcast adaption of an NPR radio program by This American Life which offers an in-depth analysis of the American Legal System. The case of Adnan Syed sparks a deeper look into the analysis of evidence and the honesty of witnesses. Although this form of storytelling is not new, the way that Radio Journalist Sarah Koenig narrates the case and its discrepancies warrants a certain outlook that questions the reliability of truths that we believe to be true. Koenig began looking into a murder of a young girl that occurred in 1999. Hae Min Lee was a 18 year-old girl living a normal life in Baltimore, Maryland until one day she was found in the woods strangled to death.…
