Comment on Graffiti: Art or Vandalism by sshaheri

I agree with several comments that were made on this topic by my fellow classmates. I believe that graffiti at times can be an art, but at the same time if it was not granted permission to be made than it is vandalism. Graffiti can be both art and vandalism at the same time. I believe that there is a time and place for everything and that graffiti is no different. If an owner of a building wants to make his building more interesting or appealing and they personally go out and find a graffiti artist to do a “piece” on their building than this is a different story. The graffiti that is gang related and has negative messages and is in places where the owner of the property does not wish them to be, to me is graffiti. This is just another problem for the owner of that property, because they will have to pay for it to be removed, and while it is there this graffiti will just have a negative impact on the property and sometimes on those who see it as well.

An intriguing discussion is worth comment. There’s no doubt that that you ought to publish more about this issue, it may not be a taboo subject but generally people do not speak about these subjects. To the next! Best wishes!!

Again I believe that graffiti is a way to express yourself and how some graffiti experts can create masterful pieces that cannot be duplicated but then on the other side, when gang members use graffiti to mark certain neighbourhoods as there territory is something that should not be tolerated.

In my opinion I agree that graffiti should be illegal. Although it is a form of art and a way of expressing yourself and your creativity, some people ruin it by vandalizing private property and buildings. When graffiti is all over the city covering buildings it not only portrays a negative image for the city such as slums, ghettos, or alleyways but it is disrespectful and causes extra work for the city workers having to clean it off buildings and private property. When I was visiting Winnipeg Manitoba they made huge murals all over the town buildings witch was really cool and expressive showing the creativity. This made the town (St Paul) very unique to visit. These art pieces were done professionally by graffiti artists. I think if a town wants to eliminate the graffiti in the city they should have designated areas in the city or parks instead of vandalizing the city buildings that will get removed anyway.

Comment on Is Your Education Relevant? by Haley Price

The article written for the topic “Is Your Education Relevant?” is very relatable to the minds of many secondary-school students.
Right from the beginning of the article, I had a connection with the author. I completely agree that current teaching methods lack interest and creativity. A lot of the time while in class, I find myself distracted by the simplest things because I am bored of what is being taught. I feel like a robot who is forced to participate in a boring life full of the same routine daily.
I personally am a Kinesthetic learner, I enjoy doing hands on work; but in 90 % of the classes I am required to take I am forced to sit at a desk and listen to a teacher speak. I’ve had one teacher in my school who was willing to allow classmates and myself get outside and have fun, and physically do an activity. I found that I learned those concepts a lot better than I have recently in my other courses. I think that it would be beneficial to teachers and students to incorporate more “hands on” activities and lessons.
I also agree that “the more relaxed, interested and happy adolescences are, the more open to learning their minds will be.” I agree with this statement because I have been put into this situation. I have shown up to classes that I have been stressing over, losing sleep over, and becoming frustrated over; these are the classes where I have failures. I think that fun components of learning should be incorporated more often in the curriculum. I have actually noticed of the past couple of years, that if I have a following a phys.ed course, I will have more success in it. Since I am able to relieve stress in physical activity, I show up to the next class relaxed and ready to learn.
Although I do agree that many classes can by dry and boring, they are not all like this. Last semester I had Biology, which I thought would be difficult and boring, but I actually enjoyed it so much that it has become my favourite course. I honestly think that how boring a class is depends on the teacher. My teacher for biology was: energetic, understanding, helpful and made our class fun by incorporating things like smart-boards and movies; just as suggested in the article.
School can definitely be boring at times, but if you have the right teacher, and the right attitude you can really learn to enjoy it.

Comment on The State of Your Mind by Rinor Berisha

What do you think about the state of student minds across North America? Why is this happening? Depression and stress is a big concern in high schools too. What can be done about it?

I think the state of the student mind is just a reflection of the state of our society. Competition, stress, and the over importance and mutilation of the word “success” is what causes the grief in today’s generation. What does success mean to the average student? Money, making the parents proud, and having good enough conditions to make a family is what they would say. But do they really mean it? Most kids in senior year wouldn’t know what they want to pursue, and this is because of the preset goals society has ingrained into them. They aren’t allowed to do anything they want or think is right. An art degree? That’s clearly useless and won’t allow you to support a family. A teacher? Hah, good luck getting a supply teaching job, let alone the real one. These words shut down the students will to learn what they want, and I think that is what causes the depression and suicidal tendencies in university students. They are in a program they don’t like, working towards a job they don’t want to do, which then they realize that they will be doing this task they hate for the rest of their lives, in order to please the goals they don’t even care about. Success isn’t about other people, it’s about you. If someone goes into a program they don’t care about, in the end, the passionate artist going into art will be much more successful, even in terms of money, than the barley graduating engineer who will go on to do poorly in the job market as that requires more than average work, which he won’t have.

I feel that somewhere down the line we have lost sight of what is really important to teach our kids. By the time a highschool student finally saunters out into the real world they have been filled to the brim with information; important information in today’s society, but utterly useless in practice. I am not saying that we must abolish these less practical teachings, knowledge is power these days! We must certainly equip our youth with this power. My point is that back in the day, parents used to teach their children everything they knew. Things like farming and cooking of course, but also things like how to throw a punch or let a remark slide and how to spend and to save as well. It is no secret that parents have changed and Google has taken over as master and commander of all things to be learned, but I believe this must change again. Students must be taught how to manage themselves in the world. Life is getting easier in Canada, but now, with so much free time to think, people find themselves in extreme emotional distress, not to mention financial crisis (what teenage girl can possibly resist the cosmetic isle?) this is all topped off by underlying pressure to find spiritual peace in a world which demands a choice between dozens of major exclusive and jealous gods. Evidently it’s a jungle out there, I think it is about time we throw our students some spears so that they can put their knowledge of hunting in that great jungle to good use.

I believe the writer poses great points throughout this article. It’s easy to agree with what the writer is saying because its simply the truth, teaching methods have not adapted to the evolution of our current generation. In a certain era i do believe that the simple blackboard, pencil, and paper method would be highly effective, but as for our generation it just doesn’t keep the students interested. School is becoming to repetitive and the only way to spruce up a regular school day would be for the teachers to take advantage of the amazing opportunity of our advanced technology and incorporate it into our lessons, instead of disallowing it from lessons and classrooms. In contrast to the great points the writer made I don’t agree with the generalization, that ALL classes are the same. There are schools/teachers that have took significants steps forward in improving there courses/lessons in efforts to maximize the potential of their students. The way the schools have done this is by introducing new and improved courses that involve the course to have technology incorporated throughout the course to better grab the attention of students such as youtube videos, smart boards, online courses such as the one I’m currently taking and others that the writer has also stated. Therefore I wouldn’t say all classes are boring but there are the traditional teachers, who have been in the profession for many years who simply wouldn’t think twice about changing there teaching methods. Overall I think this is a great article and with students education being so relevant to the future of all students, schools should really find ways to maximize students potential even if it means they have to change their teaching styles.
