Imagine this exact situation took place at TCA...

How would you respond if you were convicted of plagiarism?

How would your parents respond?

Do you feel as if you deserve a passing grade because you parents pay tuition?

Does this story affect your view of plagiarism?

What do you take away from this narrative?


Plagiarism plays a big part in schools today.  Just like Piper High. Students were copying down information on their work and turning it in to the teacher. The teacher was really skeptical about it and thought it was weird that these students had such big words that they've never used before during their presentations. The teacher looked at the the student's works and realized it was on this website. They had plagiarized on that website and put in on their work. It is never right to plagiarize, even if you don't think it's a big deal. Some colleges will kick you out of their class if you get caught plagiarizing. You should always use your own work and never someone else's. If I was convicted of plagiarizing, I probably wouldn't know what to do, because I would know it was wrong of me to do it anyway. My parents wouldn't like the idea that I did it either. I wouldn't feel as though I needed a passing grade, because it wouldn't be my work to begin with. This story helped me realize how big plagiarizing is and to never do it. I wouldn't take anything away from this narrative, because it helps you realize to never plagiarize on any of your work.

During the the so chi Olympics, a girl was spotted with a bomb. Women were planning to target the final stages of the Olympics torch relay with suicide bomb attacks. According to one senior official, the issue was raised formally only Tuesday afternoon, February 6, 2014, during high level discussions in Brussels, Belgium. We (America) were letting Russia borrow electronic devices that detect if someone has a bomb during the Olympics. Military officials said the possibility was raised by military chief of staff gen. But because of the short time frame between now and the Olympics there is a sense of urgency in determining whether sharing this technology is even feasible. It was unclear if the U.S. detection devices could spot suicide vests. The U.S. warned Russia airlines about possibly having bombs on board that are hidden in toothpaste or cosmetic tubes. According to the warning, they issued in a bulletin sent to airlines flying directly to Russia. Officials believe that explosives might be assembled in flight or smuggled to the city of So-chi. According to the reports, the security at the host city has been increased, and they have stated publicity that the have immense confidence in their security measures for the Olympics. A former airline authorities in the U.S. and Europe had to remove toothpastes and cosmetics from passengers' hand-carried items and checked luggage.

Is fast food really bad for you? Well, the obesity level in 2050 will increase to 42 percent. Children who eat fast food for their regular meal time will consume more fat. Junk food in these children's diets account for 187 extra calories per day, leading to 6 additional pounds for weight gain per year. Obesity increases your risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and many more health conditions. Your insulin levels become elevated when you eat processed sugars, such as soft drinks, white flour and other foods that devoid of fiber and nutrients necessary to properly metabolize carbohydrates. Eating junk food every day makes your insulin levels go even higher, which eventually your cells begin to ignore this important hormone, resulting in a condition such as insulin resistance.You also miss vitamins that you need to process in your body. Some nutrient deficiencies lead to low energy, mood swings, sleep disturbance and  poor academic achievements, among other health conditions. Even some of McDonald's foods aren't even real meat. It's a processed ammonia hydroxide called "pink slime". McDonald's has confirmed to never use "pink slime" in their beef ever again. But nobody really knows if they're still using it or not. That to me makes me never want to eat McDonald's ever again. I mean their ketchup even causes obesity. The following ingredients in ketchup are: liquid sugar, white vinegar, salt, onion powder, and spices. What causes obesity in those following ingredients is liquid sugar. Liquid sugar is actually a fructose corn syrup which always genetically modified corn is a form of obesity. Fast food is never always bad, in my opinion, but it's never always good for you either. Always watch what you eat because you know the saying, "you are what you eat!"
