thanks to the internet, people have more access to more information than at any other time in history. people can instantly find information on almost any topic in the time it takes to type a couple of words and click a mouse. but we often know so little about the source of this information, including its reliability and the qualifications of the person who wrote it. if we don't know its source, information is not much good to us. 

1. do people need to know the source of any information before they use it ? i think they do because then they won't know what information there getting.

2. plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations. 

complains about diffrent courses

many colleges now offer courses in which students study television programs, comic books, magazines, advertising, and other aspects of popular culture. critics complain that schools should not replace serious literature and history courses with such fluff. they claim that courses in popular culture present material that is trivial and inconsequential. but the study of popular culture can be just as important, demanding, and instructive as the study of traditional subjects. 

assignment: can the study of popular culture be as valuable as the study of traditional literary and historical subjects ? 

i think that every course is the same when you take it.

"honesty is the cornerstone of character. the honest man or woman seeks not merely to avoid criminal or illegal acts, but to be scrupulously fair, upright, fearless in both action and expression. honesty pays dividends both in dollars and in peace of mind."
being honest determines who you are and what type of person are you. honesty pays off because you can be successful.

Honesty is always the best policy. Employers need to know that they can trust you with everything from company credit cards to trade secrets. How can you work at honesty? You demonstrate integrity every day that you do your own homework and resist the temptations to cheat on exams.

"stop worrying about whether you're going to win or lose and focus on your full attention on what's happening right this moment."

i think this reflection is about focusing on the present not the past.
