My Argument

My argument is with landlords hot landlords overcharge tenants rent. I believe something needs to be done about that being most of the time landlords don't fix things the way they should. The land lord patch things up rather then putting the money into the resident to fix things properly it is wrong for landlords to charge all the monthly rent and don't wanna put the money into it to keep the resident up the way it should be. I think that something needs to be done cause people paying all this money to live in a neighborhood where there property is getting stolen are broken into there kids are getting gun down and killed. It is bad enough we are living in a world today with no jobs the government is taking our tax dollars the cost of living is just way to much gas prices go up every other week but yet the government let the landlords get away with over charging their tenants. Here's why the government want say anything cause they getting the tax dollars from the property of landlords so as long as the government get their money they can care less about how much the landlord overcharge there tenants, The system we live in is a circle of mess.

"The Bystander Effect"

I can use myself as an example in the bystander effect. When I am in a group  with friends and family it's not all the time easy to act the way I would normally act when I'm alone. Being that Iwas raised in church growing up I didn't know very much about what lifestyle I wanted to live, I was young as a little girl you really don't no much if any about what kind of lifestyle you wanna live. Now that I am older and understand I choose to live a Christan life, such as trying not to get caught up in the worldly things, going to church, watching how I speak to people and the words that come out of my mouth. When I'm alone I live a totally different life in believe me its not fun living two lifestyles. When I surround myself in a group of people such as my cousins I feel myself fighting with myself nit to change the way I act. So i try very hard to hold the same image I hold when I'm alone but never the less I always fail. So here I am the Christan girl with a group of cousins dancing, drinking, loud talking using profile language and just not being myself as if I would be alone and not in a group. I also found myself talking about the bible with a cup of alcohol in my hand also using profile language and boy what did that make me feel like I know it made me feel stupid after I sat down in thought about my behavior when I was alone again, That is my experience of "The Bystander Effect".

Self Regulated Behavior

My behavior that will be a problem for me would be my social life and not taking the time out to study,and when it came time for class discussions and test I was very lost in what I needed to do. I also have lots of friends and family that like to keep in contact with me, I also engage my social time on face book chatting with friends as well. Being that this is my first semester as a college student I have not overcame my behavior. I plan to take away time from talking on the phone and texting friends and family and put more time into different study areas, I also plan to take away time from my face book page uploading cute pictures of myself and commenting and responding to friends post, and also use that time toward studying and  doing things to better myself as a college student. So my main goal is to take time away from my social life and put more time into school, I believe time is a major factor especially if your one of them students that think you always have time. When we have to read what do we need time? When we have to study what do we need time?  just remember time waits for know one.

How was reading growing up?

Reading for me growing up started out easy because i was young and i didn't have a choice but to go to school and learn. As i got older the harder reading became, Why because i was old enough later then before to be what mom wold say hard headed. I read sometimes and sometimes i wouldn't, I would say high school is when i stop trying because i didn't have much if any help with my homework at home. My mom was a divorced single mother of four she made sure we went to school had food, clothes, shoes and made sure we was at church every sunday morning. Were my mom is from the didn't have much eduation. I didn't have anyone to ask for help so i gave up, I ended up becoming a young parent i dropped out of high school in the 12th grade and begin working a fulltime job to provide for my child so at the time reading was not a factor money was. When i begun working and different words i couldn't read or spell it was very hurtful and embarrasing around mo co-workers so i said to myself money and education is a major factor in life. I beleive if you can't read you can't spell so it is very hard being a mother with kids that have homework, I wouldn't say i can't read at all but i can say that i'm not at all were i should be in reading and as a mother that has to teach my fear is my son or daughter going thru what i went thru in the education world.
