10 years from now I will be living in Arizona. Hopefully I will be married and have a successful career. I would like to be either a physician's assistant or a nurse practitioner. I plan on staying young and healthy, so I'll be at the gym during the day and hittin' the town at night. I will thoroughly enjoy my twenties while I can, so I have to keep appearances up. I also plan on having at least two large dogs, like a Great Dane or a German Shepard. I hope to be living somewhere warm and sunny because I hate the cold. I think I will still be living in an apartment when I am 28, I will probably still have some bills to pay off from nursing school. If I do not have a boyfriend or not married by then I plan on having roommates because I do not like to live alone.

Yesterday I had you choose a global issue and you wrote about it on your blog. Today on your blog I want you to tell me about two different perspectives of your global issue. Are there people for an against your issue? Do people disagree on your issue? Is it a topic that can cause controversy? Look at the issue for two different perspectives. Tell me about those perspectives.
Stem Cell Research is a very controversial subject. Many people think it goes against religious views, considering the cells come from embryos. On the other hand, stem cells can do amazing things for human injuries and cancer patients. Stem Cell Research is still a relatively new medical topic and new advances appear often. I would say most people are against stem cell research because religion plays a huge role in many people's daily lives.

Stem Cell Research
Without doing any research, what background do you currently have on this issue?
What do you want to know about this issue?
Why did you choose this issue? Had it effected your life? Is it something you are passionate about? Explain.
I know that Stem Cell Research is a very controversial subject all over the world. I also know that stem cells are taken from fetal tissue. I am interested to know how they get these cells and who allows this to happen. I would also like to know the benefits of stem cell research, who opposes it and why, where these studies are taken place, and who is qualified to do this research. I chose this issue because I am very interested in medicine and I want to have a career in the medical field. I do not know very much about this subject, that is why I chose to do it so I can be more aware of it. I am passionate about medicine and human rights.

Last week I asked your to "think differently" and push yourself to be uncommon with your PSA project using Google Slides. Why do you think I asked you to do that? What is the point? Why not just use bullets and headers? Explain.
I think the point of this assignment was to learn how to be creative with a presentation. We already know how to make a normal powerpoint presentation, and this time we learned how to make a presentation without bullet points and headers. I think our PSA project helped me learn how to make a presentation that viewers will actually enjoy watching. I learned how to get my viewers attention by appealing to their emotions with various images. The no click transitions make my presentation flow nicely as well.

Kids these days, can't go anywhere without their phones! All they do is listen to hip hop and tweet nonsense. They all have nice cars and don't even take their education seriously these days. And talking back to their parents, that is ridiculous. Breaking curfew and eating all that Chipotle, and the amount of obesity and teen pregnancy blows my mind.

What is a public service announcement (PSA)? What do PSA's do? What makes a good PSA? How can you get someone to take action after watching a PSA? What is you PSA idea? Explain in detail.
Public service announcements are used to get the attention of a large group of people. They are typically images or videos, and I have noticed they usually appeal to a person's emotions. A good PSA will be appealing to look at in order to get the attention of others and make a point that is easy to understand. To get someone to fully acknowledge your PSA and follow through with your intentions, you need to try and go after their subconscious thought process. The best way to do this is to try to evoke emotion through the image. My idea is to try to stop the public (mainly teenagers/young adults) from texting and driving. From my own experience I know how distracting texting and driving is and it can cause dangerous results.
