Sinking the Myth of Climate Change

The main point of this article is that scientist are wrong about global warming, while our environment gets worst. “the media are beginning to turn in the face of growing evidence that they have been wrong.” Thomas felt that they were to cocky about the world, and act like they knew what was going on, but the truth of the matter is that, they don't.
Thomas values our environment and acknowledges that we need to know the right information about what is going on in our surrounding. He also values our futures and how our world can keep on continuing living (I mean wouldn't you want to your kids, and your kid's kids have a healthy life)? I believed that he want things to be done and be done right. This is our world, our life, and our home, and we would like to keep it for eternity if we can. Scientists and environmentalists needs to step up with their game and come up with a strategy and inform us what is really going on with the environment and climates so the public can also help. I assume that he want us to do something, because we can't just rely on scientists and environmentalist. We can't just hear what we want to hear, we don't want to listen to false evidence, we want answers, we want information of what we can do too, actually anything but just fairy tales and myths. They say they know what they are doing, but in my opinion Thomas thinks that the scientists are too intelligent than anyone else, probably of their own subjects also.
To resolve this, or a solution is that we need to hear other ideas and strategies, instead of going at it in only one way.

SCHOOL REFORM'S MEAGER RESULTS


The theme of this article is stated in the title, “SCHOOL REFORM'S MEAGER RESULTS”, meaning the result of changing is lacking a bit. Okay, a lot. Samuelson says that students are dropping out even though some students have potential in school. He mentions that standard theories does not not explain the meager process. He feels that that few subjects and teachers inspire more intellectual dishonesty and political puffery than “school reform”. To I personally, I felt that students are bored with any subject when our educators seem to make it very uninteresting, which leads us not to care, which make us not want to work hard and expand our horizon.

A holiday from fiscal reality

Chapman talks about these sales tax holiday. I would not lie but I do enjoy having the tax-free holiday, I mean who wouldn't. A person would like to feel that they are saving money, but are they really saving money? In the article, the theme is that Chapman believes that even though we have a tax-free holiday we still pay the same amount of price (because once we pay it has to go somewhere else). Plus, also he believes that states loses money because of the “tax holiday.” Basically it doesn't help the economy, it worsens. He values our economy of course, he values money, revenues, business, and a hint of politics. In paragraph three he mentions that his friend takes advantages of the tax holiday because supposedly she saves money, while she buys her husband some new clothes. Which is not a fact and more of an opinion, but the gist of it is that most people do take these advantages. He also states that Florida Governor Charlie Crist goes along with tax-free holiday, (does that mean he takes advantages of this situation too and buy him a pair of pants?) in the article he says “I am confident this tax break will help students, families and businesses as they prepare new school year.” While some argues that it gives “our economy a shot in the arm,” as Illinois Governor Pat Quin stated. Meaning that it hurts our economy devastatingly, and we lose money and then revenue rises. This article was persuasive in an opinionated way, but as far as having evidential support, no. It is organized and structured, and it is very pathos. It is lacking knowledge and credibility. This article can connect with an audience, who is more towards of emotions. But people who is looking for a strong supportive persuasion, this article wouldn't fit in their requirements. He got his statistics down but other than that, Chapman should provide more evidence.
