Smoke that Cigarette
"Smoke that Cigarette" is a movie that follows a character known as Nick Nailer. Nick is a primary salesman for US tobacco. He spends every day being called the devil and a mass murderer because he is an advocate of cigarettes. Nick is very witty and excellent at proving his points. He teaches us a valuable lesson that in an arguement you dont have to be right, just prove that the other person is not right either.
Multimedia Assignment
For our final project my group decided to do the media and its effects on alcohol and specifically underage drinking. For this assignment, my part was to survey high school and college students. I sent out a survey to my high school and talked to the students at Clemson. I got results from freshmen in high school all the way up to seniors in college. The drinking results were predictable, and nearly everyone said that the media did have an effect on drinking.
Research Paper
After alot of thought I finally decided to do do my research paper on Intelligence Testing. The big question with IQ testing is that some argue that it is a valid means of grouping individuals while others do not. My stand on this issue is that early childhood testing should not be a means of putting a child into a group based on a test that does not use any type of skills other than a paper test.
