"An education in citizenship" is an article from the Chicago Tribune. This article talks about how immigrants in the Chicago who pay instate tution and people who are legal citizens but live out of state have to pay out of state tution. Its a hard thing to practice because the law cant take the right of a kid to get their education. I disagree with the statement that "Illinois house of representatives recently passed a bill that would allow young people who are in the u.s illegally to pay instate tution rates at Illinois colleges or universities".
I disagree with the article because students shouldnt be deprived of a good low rate education just because they werent born in the united states. My cousin goes to a school in Long Island where she has to pay the full highest tution because she came from New York which is out of state. I think this is unfair because she is a legal citizen of the u.s and is paying the full tution when illegal students pay low rate tution because the are already living in Long Island.
Another reason i dissagree with this article is because i live in New York and my mother works so when i applied for financial aid i wasnt awared the full amount because they said i could afford to be in college. There are other kids who are getting full financial aid because their parents dont make enough or because their illegal so they dont have working parents which isnt fair. This isnt fair because my mom has taxes coming out of her pay checks and that money is being used for federal loans and grants but the money they taking from her isnt even going on me its going on othe people who arent even her children.
Therefore i agree with the statement that if parents work in the state they should be able to pay the low tution for their kids too because if not they have to pay even more money as a citizen than an illegal student.

an education in citzinenship
In the article "an education in citizenship", Illinois house passed a bill which allowed kids who are illegally in the u.s to pay in-state taxes rates at Illinois colleges and universities. Some people disagreed with the lawmakers decision. I agree with this article that if ther parents federal tax dollars help support grants and loans the child should be given the same kind of education at the same price of all current in-state kids who arent immigrants.
I agree with this article because students shouldnt be deprived of a good education just because their immigrants. Iremember hearing on the news about kids in Africa who didnt go to school because they couldnt afford the tution to stay in so they had to stop going and work in order to provide for their families.
Another example that makes me agree with this article is when i filled out my school applications and was told that i couldnt recieve all the financial aid which is bad because now i got to pay for extra things since i did qualify.
Therefore, I agree with this statement that if the parent works in the state the kid shouldnt have to pay the same tution people outside the state would pay just cause their immigrants.

response to hype
Advertisements are consider the most biggest mental pollutants to human beings. In the article "Hyped" written by Kalle Lasn. The amount of commercials floods the brain at a rate of 3,000 marketing messages per day. I agree with Kalle Lasn because their are so many commercials that have to do with adverstiments of new products that are shown on t.v every single day.
One reason why i agree with this article is because from the time that i watch in the morning and in the night before i go to bed i see so many commercials that are even repeated to be catchy to consumers. While waiting for my program to come back i show the same comercial about 3different times within 7minutes. And by the end of seeing the commercial 3different times i had already memorized it, which shows that commercials do flood our brains fast and it floods it faster than school work does.
Another reason why i agree with Kalle Lasn is because when i first saw the commercial for this cool brand new toy that was just coming out i wanted to have it. I wanted it so much i begged my mom for it because i knew all the cool kids would have it. So she got it for me and the next day when i told my friends about it all of them had gotten it too. From my personal experiences is why i believe with Kalle Lasn that adverstisements are everywhere to catch the eye of future consumers.
In conclusion avertisment and commercials are everywhere so that future buyers could buy the product when it first comes out. Eveywhere that people go there are adverstisments either on buildins, walls, t.v's, magazines they will do anything so that people will remember the product.

summary: allergory and the cave
allergory and the cave is about how people where being in trapped behind walls in caves for most of their life. they only things they would see behind the walls was shadows of objects but never the real object. once a man was released from the cave he saw reality for what it really was and didnt agree with it because he was to used to only seeings shadows and when he saw the real things he didnt want to believe it. he then went back to tell everyone that the world wasnt what they thought it was going to be.

summarize hype
This passage is about how ad's are being placed all over everything people use. The author's most important idea is that back then ad's were placed in certain places and now everywhere you look there's an ad.

This passage is about how ad's are being placed all over everything people use. The author's most important idea is that back then ad's were placed in certain places and now everywhere you look there's an ad.
One important idea in this pasage is that t.v commmercial pollution floods our brain at the rate of 3,000 marketing messages per day. Its significant because people's brain are being filled with songs and images and there forgetting about educational stuff.
One example that supports the significance is when the person says "i often used to hear beethoveens 9th symphony play in my head. Now all i hear is that kid singing the oscar meyers wiener song". Another example is when the person was filling up the tank in the car and the nozzle even had an ad on it which shows ad's are being put on everyday things people use.
