JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 25 - Concealed Carry

Adults should not have the right to carry concealed handguns. According to "Common Arguments Against Campus Carry", "studies show that ninety-percent of suicides are committed at home" (source). This shows that when a person is buying the gun, the seller can not INDICATE whether the person has a mental issue or is dealing with other traumas that are going to cause him or others to get hurt. This also shows that vendors can not just sell weapons to anyone. According to "Concealed Guns ProCon.org", "carrying handguns is not an effective form of self defense because the person can hurt someone else and not be able to live with it" (source). This shows that if someone makes an mistake, they are not going to be able to JUSTIFY themselves. This also shows that because someone has a gun and can defend themselves, they can ESTABLISH safety. In conclusion, adults should not have the right to carry concealed handguns.

JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 24 - Online Learning

Online learning is not an effective way to educate students. According to "Online vs Traditional Degrees"(source), "cheating may be easier, leading to doubts in the degree." This shows that it is easier for students to copy from others or even plagiarize. This also shows that the teachers may not DIFFERENTIATE their work from others and give them a grade that they do not deserve. According to "College Confidential" (source), there is lack of in-person interaction with the students and teachers. This shows that not only will the students not interact with each other but neither will they with the professor. This shows also that if they need help CLARIFYING something, it'll will be harder for them to understand the AREA they are reviewing. In conclusion, online learning is not an effective way to educate students.

JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 23 - Dog Fighting

Dog fighting should be illegal. For example, when dogs are made to fight, the fight isn't over until one is dead or one starts to bleed. This shows that the dogs get hurt badly and there is no DISTINCTION between humans and dogs. This also shows that just like we feel when we have a broken leg, the dogs can feel just as bad pain like we can. In addition, even though the dogs may have the POTENTIAL to fight, that doesn't mean that they want to fight. This also shows that, many people just want to see the fights just for fun. This also shows that, the FORMULA for people earning more money is to bet on the dogs and chargeing people in the entrance. In conclusion, doh fighting should be illegal.

What do you think about people who are inconsiderate of others?

I think that many people who are inconsiderate of others do not think. For example, if someone disrupts a class while other students are doing their work or trying to learn, then that's just really disrespectful to both the teacher and the students. If someone doesn't care how they treat other and don't mind being treated the same way, then they can go right ahead and do it but there is a high chance that they are going to be treated the same way or worse. It's irritating to see someone like that because sometimes there is just no way that they'll understand. That's my opinion on inconsiderate people but then again I can be a hypocrite sometimes.

JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 22

Felons should be allowed to vote. For example, it is COMPLEX because once the person gets out of jail, they will try to find a job and soon enough, if they do, they will be paying taxes. This shows that, it is unfair to tax someone and not have them vote. This also shows that, their opinion is RELEVANT sense they do their taxes each years. In addition, there is a big population of felons in our country, this means that we would be cutting a huge SOURCE of the country's vote. In conclusion, felons should not be allowed to vote.
