Today I read a poem that talks about how young children want to grow up faster then there time. I think the poem is right.As a child I wanted to grow up , and be an adult because being an adult seemed so much funner then being a kid , and there were more things to do as you got older. As a child I didn't understand that as you get older you have more responsibilities. Or as you you get older you have more things to stress about and worry about because of life. Another thing I realized by reading this poem was that a lot of things change as you get older , like the people you hang around , whether or whether not you choose to allow peer pressure to affect you. All in all I've realized growing up has its ups and downs , and it just depends how you manage yourself and your life. Although growing up isn't the most exciting thing to do it has be done , so you should just make the best out of it.
Life is to short to be anything but happy. I agree with that statement entirely. There are some things in life that you have control over but most matters you can't control. The things that you can control are normally the most stressful for some reason. Sometimes as a person you have to learn to sit on the sidelines and let life happen to you. Having a nonchalant attitude works sometimes especially when there are things you can't manage solely under you control.
Given the physical characteristics of the " Common Suspect " , our bias generally lean toward the media. I did an activity where I had to choose the criminal that committed a particular crime.I noticed that in trying to choose the culprit that stereotyping was a big part of my decisions.Prior to doing that exercise I wasn't aware of how much stereotyping can play a part in the choices people make.If the activity asked for someone that does crack I looked for a thinner person who appeared to be strung out. Now that I am thinking about it the more and more confused I become , Was I stereotyping or making an attempt to criminal profile?

The site about trying to identify a criminal is definitely challenging! There just doesn't seem to be a real way to know whether you are looking at a criminal or not. Sometimes the criminal looked like the most trustworthy of the line-up. How could going to this site help all of us to be better jurors when it is our time in the stand?
