Jenessa commented on the post, Challenges facing the women of India
Ceceli,
What a moving topic to discuss for your research essay! It’s crazy to think how much of a big deal the wage-gap is in America when in other countries there’s no wage-gap to begin with because women are hardly ever even in the work face. Any time I learn new statistics about other countries, it makes me realize how inadequate the problems…Read More -
Jenessa commented on the post, Serial Killers and Their Brain Chemistry
Maggie,
This was a beautifully written start to your research essay. You have great sources of information, and included two arguments on what causes serial killers to act the way they do. I have always heard that serial killers brains are different than ours, but I never knew the real reason why. I assumed that it had to do with the chemical…Read More -

I really liked your post. I thought it brought to light many things that people would think to be true, and you took the facts and presented them with clear and concise arguments. I think that having face to face interactions are very important in making connections with people, and I think the questions that you asked are super important.
Here’s an article I think you would like

It talks about mental health with social media.

Jenessa, I totally agree about your stance on this issue. This has been a problem in todays society since the iPhone became normalized. It is sad that a lot of our generation and the generation after us will not live the same carefree childhood that our parents and grandparents did. With social media comes responsibility and more and more things to worry about. there is extra pressure to go out and do fun things so that people can see you have a fun life or to wear a specific outfit so people know you have money. Your post was very compelling and made it easier to outline the largest concern areas for this topic. I thought it was very interesting that a psychologist believed that todays kids are not getting enough social skills, which is also increasingly true. Here is a great link I found on how social media has affected all aspects of society. https://www.business2community.com/social-media/impact-social-media-truly-society-0974685

Jenessa commented on the post, A Letter to the Policeman
Nyla,
This is a great rap/poem. I think you should expand more on the lines “But there’s two sides to every story and now you know mine,” so that the people can understand more about black culture, and what we’ve had to face. I know that discrimination against blacks is a very common trend in the media, but I think adding more statistical e…Read More

Hello Jenessa,
I liked your post and I think this topic you picked has a lot of potential and there are various ways to approach it. I agree that with the increase of smarter technology there subsequently will/ is an increase of cheating. What do you think draws students to cheat? Do you think most schools, if not all, should have a no technology rule? If so, why or why not? I found an interesting article expanding on the subject that you might like to read:
