Read Between the Lines

Make a judgment about the site’s reliability based on your own analysis of the site and the information that it contains. Here are some ways to do this:

·        Observe facts you know or can evaluate for authenticity with a trusted source. If the facts presented on the site are accurate, then it is more likely that the other facts within the website are accurate.

·        Study the tone established by the language. Is it angry, satiric or extremely passionate? This may indicate that the site is biased.

·        Consider whether the arguments are logical and can be represented by evidence, and whether the presents only one point of view.

·        Check the links to the sources the author acknowledges. Scholarly writing, whether in print or online, should include a bibliography.

Student Success Statement
“Choosing the Right is always the right thing to do.” Alex Linares

I agree with this statement from my teacher’s former student. Is it better to do what is right or what is wrong? Many of us rationalize our motives for the choices we make either lying to your friend or doing your homework in class, but we never realize that every moment we are committing these wrong actions we do not understand the severity of our actions, but we are not blind to our wrong doing we know when we commit wrong actions we just choose to do nothing about it. We must abide by the rules that let us prosper. If you encounter a rule that you believe improper you still have to abide by it or ask city officials to either disband or change the law, but we cannot choose to ignore it. When you “Choose the Wrong” you are smearing a stain on your morale and not doing the correct thing therefore your sense/ perspective of judgment is terrible, but if you “Choose the Right” your sense of judgment is morally good.   

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens: Habit 4

7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens
Habit 4

4. Think Win-Win

Teens can learn to foster the belief that is possible to create an atmosphere of Win- Win in every relationship. This habit encourages the idea that in any given discussion or situation both parties can arrive at a mutually beneficial solution. Your teen will learn to celebrate the accomplishments of others instead of being threatened by them. Win- Win is a belief that everyone can win. It’s both nice and tough all at once. I won’t step on you, but I won’t be your doormat either. You care about other people and you want them to succeed. But you also care about yourself, and you want to succeed as well. Win- Win is abundant. It is the belief that there’s plenty of success to go around. It’s not either you or me. It’s both us. It’s not a matter of who gets the biggest piece of pie. There’s more than enough food for everyone. It’s an all-you-can-eat buffet.

          Win- win always creates more. Perhaps the most surprising benefit of thinking Win- Win is the good feelings it brings on. The true test of whether or not you are thinking Win- Win or one of the alternatives is how you feel. Win- Lose and Lose- Win thinking will cloud your judgment and fill you with negative feelings.

          Win- Win will fill your heart with happy and serene thoughts. It will give you confidence. Even fill you with light. Think Win- Win or no deal.
