23. Big Data

Big Data in my life, well looking at everything going on today there are many things evolving in our lives with data. I honestly think that you should be careful believing everything you see on the internet because you can't believe everything you see or read about. I can say there have been many times I hear because this was said on the news or on social media it true, everyone thinks its true becuase it is on the internet. That is not the case thats like my daughter telling me a story being 2 1/2 her imagination runs wild!

22. Mislead Statistics

There are many misleading statistics on TV, one being the News ! We all turn to the news to find out information on whats going on around us but some of the information they gather is wrong. If you look on the internet anyone can make up information and say they got this information here or there but you really have to research to find out if it is true or not so you can give accurate information instead of misleading information.

21. Learning Networks

Personal Learning Networks, I found that this was extremely helpful, I use to go on to the South University library to research and Google. Now after being in this class we were taught to use Google Scholarly Articles so when  we gather information it is the correct information. I find that the Google scholarly articles make life easier they have so many articles on whatever topic you are looking for as for the South University Library may be a little limited. We are always learning something new!

20. Cancer Sucks!

My 2 year old daughter and I both barrel race and there was this horse my daughter rode named Tommy that we use to lead line through the patterns, he was the best horse took care of my daughter and babysat her I never had to worry one bit with her on his back ! He had an eye removed a year ago and that's when they found he had cancer even with 1 eye he still did anything and everything you asked from him. The vet told them he should have a year left to live and he can still do the shows until he starts showing some type of pain, being the great little guy he was he never showed it, 2 weeks ago was the last time my daughter got to ride him because a couple days later our friends that owned him called to inform us he had passed away...;( I was pretty upset because my daughter walks around telling everyone when they ask who her pony is she replies "TOMMY, MY TOMMY" she knew what horse was hers at the horse show when we go to our friends house she always knows what pasture he is in. Something like that is hard to explain to a 2 year old so I just told her "Tommy had a boo boo and now hes a star in the sky" I have to remind her when she asks for him and she will still tell you "my Tommy, Tommy star sky".  What I dreaded the most was going to her first horse show without him and asking for him, but to my surprise I told her she was riding Juliet she was excited but did say "Tommy, boo boo, sky" so I think she some what gets that Tommy is not here anymore, but she will make sure it's know that he was her TOMMY!

 A horse that couldn't ever be replaced!!!!!!!

19. Problem / Solution

Problem Solution..... Here we go!
Well a problem that I have came across this semester is that I have been majorly slacking in all my classes. I work at a Barn in Wellington doing Horse Watch and I have to be there at 9pm until 4:30am I was already signed up for my A&P 1 class on Monday and Wednesday morning then this class Monday and wednesday night, I thought I could be superwoman and go to school at 8:30am on 3 hours of sleep and do somewhat good. Well that wasn't the case I was slacking in both my classes so my solution to it was staying in this class in the afternoons and dropping out of my morning classes becuase I couldn't get with it so I came to the conclusion that I am not superwoman and its ok to drop out until this season is over (March 29) and I can take the class and study for it like I should be.

18. Affordable Care Act

Using the  Rogerian-style argument on the affordable care act, I personally disagree with it. I honestly think people should be given a choice if they want health insurance or not instead of making a person do something they don't want to do. Some people don't have health insurance and don't want it which that's fine that is supposed to be their choice not the governments! But with this style argument I can always go back and ask them some questions on their point of view on it to see what they may see and that I don't. It is always good to get the other person views on something that you may disagree on so you can understand it a little more clearly.

17.Logos

Logos, looking at a paper and seeing if its logical or not, well in many papers we do here at south we use many articles that are scholarly articles. In my papers I used scholarly articles in my paper so I knew the information I was adding to my paper was logical and true! when researching about nurses being mistreated you come across a wide variety of information but going by someone's very upset mad day they had one day and decided to write about it is not really as true to write about. A opinionated mad nurse blog compared to an article or journal that has backed up references and resources, you can tell which way you would go .
