Journal - Most students view siting work as 'a pain in the butt'. How do you feel about it? Is it necessary? When is it appropriate to cite work? What's the importance of it?
I think it really is a pain in the butt. It's just an extra step to do and no one really wants do do it after tying up and planning a five page essay, but i understand why teachers have you do it. If you wrote an article and had someone steal the whole thing and get credit that would be really annoying and there are other purposes it serves too so its pretty important its just something that lazy people don't want to do.

Journal - Do you enjoy writing? What kind of writing do you enjoy? Why is writing an essential skill in life? How will you use this skill in the future?
i enjoy writing a lot. i like writing about anything, its something i'm pretty good at and I've always thought it was easy. Writing is very essential because you use it for everything. like applying for a job if you don't know how to write and it just looks really bad you wont get the job and wont go very far. You will use it to apply for jobs or write to people you may be working with. If you are not a good professional writer you really wont go that far in life in most cases.

Journal - What is creating an outline for a paper important? Do you think it helps you personally? How would you prefer to outline a paper - pen and paper or an online tool? Is there a different way you know if that would prefer to organize your thoughts?
I think its really important because it lets you plan out what you want to do for your project and organize your ideas rather than just throwing everything on a piece of paper and turning it in. I don't really mind what i use, pen and paper is obviously much easier than using a complicated website but whatever you use doesn't make a difference they both get everything organized for you. I usually just right down everything i want to do and add on a piece of paper, that's how I've always done it so i don't really know any other ways.

Journal - What is good email etiquette and why is it essential in the "real" world? How can having good email etiquette put you ahead?
its basically typing a proper email. Its essential because it makes you look professional and if someone reads an email that is well typed up and looks proper and very professional they are more likely to respond to it and take you more seriously than someone who has a message that looks like you put no thought into it and is very demanding. People will choose to respond to the more proper email and you will get what you need or what is was you were sending the email for faster.

Journal - If there was one big global issue in the world that you could fix, what would it be? A cure for cancer? Save the rain forest? Stop pollution? Think about it and then write about it. Why would you choose that specific issue?
I would stop pollution. People don't realize how bad the effects of throwing your trash on the floor has on earth and its just pretty disgusting its gross walking around and seeing trash on the floor, the world is not your dumpster. and it's causing a lot of problems with the atmosphere. Its not hard to throw your trash in a trashcan it doesn't involve hard labor and you can be saving our plant from a lot of things by doing it.

Journal - On Friday we discussed Public Service Announcements. In your own words tell me what they are and what their purpose is. If you could create a PSA what would your topic be? Why?
Public service announcements are basically something you're announcing to the public about anything or like a certain topic to inform the public about something. It would probably be something health related, like if people need to not eat a certain food or something like that just telling them to watch out.
