• This artical is about how bans on texting while driving have not realy helped prevent crashes. In fact studies show that it has increased the amount of crashes in some states.

• Stakeholders: drivers
• People&Machines and Control because the government is trying to enforce laws that will keep us safe.
• Politics and Government because the government enforces laws to keep the public safe.
• I think texting while driving should be baned because it can prevent crashes even though the studies are against it.

• Three things that are remarkable are that 51% of 8th graders say that they never used a computer to do school work. Only 4 states have 100% internet access in school. 50% of schools don't have CD-Rom drives.

• 2/3 of teens use abbreviations in their school work. We can change this by not accepting their work and making them do it again.

• The downside of technology is that not everyone has the access to it. This is a big problem because people in schools that have technology can learn more and faster than the people that don't have the technology.

1.The fact that careers are all but selected for students in India and China also allows them to focus more in particular fields, providing them the opportunity to take classes in that field before they are even out of high school. This drastically contrasts with American high school students who usually do not even think about their careers until they are preparing to apply to colleges and may even change their intended careers halfway through college. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Why?

* In China and India the fact that careeres are selected for students sometimes I think hurts them because if a student  is foced to go into a career that they don't have an intrest in they might not do as well as they would if they did have intrest in it. In the U.S students have the choice to choose a career that they have intrest in or are good at. I am ok with students picking a career as late a halfway through college as long as they succed in that career. In the movie the Indian and Chinese students don't get accepted into the college of their choice even though they work harder than American kids so in my opinion the Indian and Chinese students didn't succed.

2.I think the students chosen to represent Americans were a pretty good depiction of some of the top students we have here. Do you agree or disagree? Why?

• I kind of agree because in the movie the american girl had a 3.9 G.P.A and she got accepted to Indinia college. The white boy got a full academic scholorship to Purdue which is really had to do. Most high school students don't get a full scholorship to a college unless they are athletic or real smart.

3.The purpose of viewing the video was to demonstrate a flat world - made flat by competing economies in China and India. And that happened because of the dot.com bubble which laid down the fiber optic cables connecting our country with theirs via the Internet. Now that you've finished viewing the video, what are some of your thoughts? Was it worthwhile to have viewed this video? Has it made you appreciate what you have? How can we say the world is flat and global all at the same time? Don't those images cancel each other out? Explain.

* Viewing this video was worthwile because it showed us how the Indian and Chinese students view American education more lay back than their education. I disagree with this statement because some of us that are taking AP or IB classes sometimes have to stay up all night to do our homework. I appreciate the education that I recive because it is going to help me get a good job in the future. I think the world can never be flat because someone is always going to have an advantage over the other peroson.
