• 1.I think it is a bad thing because many students can not figure out what they want to be. The reason for that is because many students might not know what they are interested in and they might not like what they want bo so they might change there mind and want to be something else.
• 2.I disagree because i think there are other students that are much more smarter and take higher classes and study really hard.Cause the students in the video does not really study and doesn't really care much of their grades or school studys. I think there are just harder working students in America then those two.
• 3.It was worthwhile because it showed us how in other countries they have so little and how hard they have to work to become something of them self. It made me appreciate what i have. I think the world is not flat because in other nations people just focus on one subject and try to perfect it. However it also depends on the individual and if they are focused and want to set their own goals and accomplish it.

Recently, there was a website that allowed people to post "what-ifs" about the WL class of 2011. Some of the what-ifs were nice, some were mean, and all posts were anonymously made. Anybody could make a comment about anybody else. Please answer the following questions:

• The social and ethical issue is reliability, and control.
• The area of impact was education.
• I think it is a good idea because this way students would be involved in the "what-ifs" rather then people writing it down in pen and pencil.
• I would put the posts in the school websites. That way people will have to log in from there school ids and write a post. In addition this would allow the administrators to tell who posts what.
• I feel this rules fair and there is nothing wrong with it.
