THE WORKPLACE FAVORS ATHLETES-BRADLEY KING

This page got my attention very well just by the title. "The workplace favors athletes, so do your best to be one." This caught my attention because I am an athlete, and who wouldn't want to be able to get an easy job. This was new information to me though, I never thought by just being an athlete that it could help in getting a job. What I did know though was that if you workout on a team or just individually everyday that it helps you have a better day. The article informed me that people that workout in the morning, will have a much better day than people that don't workout. Working out teaches workplace values such as teamwork, shared commitment, decision making, and leadership. I recommend this article to anyone that is not on any kind of team. Because I think that if your not on some kind of team you need to try and get involved, or maybe just join a gym. You will get many benefits besides just getting in better shape. You will also gain some of the workplace skills mentioned before, that can be used everyday. This was a very well cited article. The author cited information that wasn't there own throughout the article. After I read this article I want to know if being an athlete really helps you out in the workplace. I can see how it could, and it is something I may do some more research on.

Bradley King: Helium- Is Facebook hazardous to your career?

http://www.helium.com/items/433482-is-facebook-hazardous-to-your-career

I reviewed a prompt that ask the question is Facebook hazardous to your career? By reading about this topic I learned that Facebook or and other social networking websites such as Myspace can be very hazardous to your career. I also learned that there are ways to protect yourself by using offered privacy settings. In the top essay the author started out by explaining why people make, and use social networking websites. The author gave reasons such as trying to stay in touch with high school or college friends, or just a way to me others. The author then gave vivid details on ways you can get into hazardous problems. Such as going out one night and your friend taking inappropriate pictures of you and then uploading them onto there Facebook page.. Although the pictures are not on your page, they are still posted elsewhere on the network. Which makes the pictures open for anyone including your employer to view, which could cost you your job. For the lesser essays wrote, first off the grammar was not the best which made the essays hard to understand at times. The author also repeats the same idea throughout the essay so you didn't exactly get any new information, just got it in different words. If I were going to write an essay on this prompt I would start out, by stating first off that any social networking site can be hazardous to your career. I would want to get that point across right away to get the attention of my readers.

Elizabeth O'Connor- Helium 1

http://www.helium.com/items/490774-the-most-significant-people-in-your-life

The article on Helium article that I chose was “The most significant people in your life.” I chose this article because I want to know who and what people consider to be the “most significant people” in their lives. I learned that some people come from many different environment and the ones that are “higher class” tend to take things for granted. I say this because the “lower class” people want to have what the “higher class” have and they try so hard. But the “higher class” tends to rub it in about what they have and they don’t think of others feelings. This is one of the reasons why you have significant people in your lives to make you feel special and loved and feel like you are worth something. I believe Nadia Ghanny scored the best essay on this topic because she explained her “life past/history” and it really got your attention. You come to realize how much YOU have and NOT to take things for granted. If I was the one having to write about this prompt I would look back on my past. I have more than one significant person in my life so I would have many stories to tell which only makes the story better.

Helium- what to do if you cant along get with your roommate

The prompt I chose is about what to do if you have an annoying roommate. The reason why I have chosen this topic is that it is very appropriate for our college students. It could be that you have a roommate who is not nice, what should you do? The essay is very clearly about what to do if you have an annoying roommate. It is point by point indicated. This article very easy to understand. I've learned what I can do best if I have problems with my roommate and tips given are very useful. Below-written articles are a lot less clear. The measures you can take are a little more complicated written. So if I should write a review I would work a lot easier that they the less rated articles do.

th difference between box and field lacrosse

1. I reviewed " the difference between field and box lacrose". fromthe first article i didnt end up learning much but i deffinatly agreed with the writers opions and points of view on the subject. the writers style of writing seemed to include the presentation on a lot of facts a at the end giving his own opinion.


2. "why lacrosse should be on tv" was an awful article. it was not well written and all over the place with its ideas. this article game me false facts and the opions of this writer resembled that of a 2 year old. the writer had no basis for the things he said and obviously has no clue as to what he is talking about. though i agree lacrosse should be shown more on tv, that is as far as it goes with how much we have in common. horrible article.


3. the third article was basicly a rule book in my opinion. the entire article it seemed was full of rules, regulations, and guidlines. yes, the difference in the playing fields is important but so much infasis on the matter is completily unessissary. i cannot agree or dissagree with any of the writers opinion because i feel i was not given strong enough evidence that the writer supported one on his own. ove all, well writen presintation of facts, a good read for all beginers
