These textbooks have the ability to have a potentially large impact on the younger generations. Thus, censors see them as essential channels for circulating a more conservative view as Texas educators now must teach according to the new standards.

How would you feel if once you graduated college and got a position in your career field only to find out that everything you have been taught is 4 to 5 years behind every piece of technology you will be required to use? I pose this question, because some of my text books, mainly the text books on technological systems and programs were published 4 to 5 years ago, the world of technology moves so fast that by the time a book on technology is published it is already out of date. Is it at all…

a theme of carelessness and sharing. This selection is surrounded by pressure of doing good deeds and having a conscious heart. The lawyer shows the readers the ways her used in helping out his clients. This story is an important selection in my textbook because it interprets the language of writing in a unique way.

I did not have a writing process; I just write what came to me. But when I was reading the text book I was starting to realize that my writing process was like a lot of peoples writing process. The writing process that the text book describes is easy to follow, it gives you 1,2,3 steps so you don’t get lost when you start to write.

In a world of high-spend internet, and instant communication, the world has gotten its self into a rush. In the process of trying to find the faster, easier, and cheaper way of doing things, there are those that are being left in the dust; those trying and struggling to keep up with their peers.
