Tuesday 2/25/25 - How would you feel if your privacy was invaded online or on your phone? Do you think privacy is a basic civil liberty?

If my privacy was invaded online or on my phone I would feel uncomfortable, unsafe, and upset. This is because are phones are so integrated into our lives, essentially being a necessity, and bring it with us wherever we go. Knowing this, if our phone privacy was invaded or our online activity, it would feel like a strong violation because it holds and can reveal intimate and private details of our life that shouldn't be available to others. Those of which include text messages, address, age, relationships, etc. I do believe privacy is a basic civil liberty, and that everyone should have the right to not be interfered with by others regarding certain things. If we didn't have the right to privacy, we would always be conscious of our activity online and on our phones, even in doing regular things, there would always be a sense of skepticism of being watched and general paranoia.

Second NewsELA Assignment - Monday - 9/23/2024

 Today, we read an article about the dangers of using Google for self-diagnosis, as well as the best ways in which to get medical information being a doctor. Additionally, we completed a short quiz, and wrote a constructed response about the article. I learned that oftentimes health websites are not trying to provide the most accurate information to the reader, but rather boost sales through advertisement of certain products or treatments. I liked reading this article because I, myself in the past have found myself doing similar things, such as Googling my symptoms for a possible diagnosis, even though I know better now, it gives me something to look back on. Today, I'm looking forward to visiting my cousins.

Today, we took our final test on "Fences" by August Wilson. It was a lot of questions (45) but the questions weren't that hard, and I got a 91. I learned that I got 4 questions wrong out of 45. I liked that how each character in the story represented certain ideals or morals, such as Bono with loyalty and Troy with hard work. I feel like today is Friday, because the different block schedule messed up my perception of the week.

 Today, we were introduced into a new project, where we were randomly assigned new group members. We were introduced to a story called "A Devoted Son" by Anita Desai, and we read a short background about her life. My group chose the theme of isolation vs. community. I learned that Desai's life and family was caught in the crosshairs of the timeframe of Indian modernization after it gained independence. I found it interesting how she described hiding her profession from her children. I'm feeling ready to get adjusted into my new group and work on the project.
