The Early Bird....

I just finished writing an essay for another of my courses ( environmental ethics and religion). We use a software called turnitin which prevents plagiarism. While the teacher has access to the information regarding the level of plagiarism (uncited works), the students do not have access to the authenticity check and therefore have no information regarding the amount of information requiring citations. What should we do to right this unbalance? Tada... we use SentenceWorks!
however, i didn't have any citation problems so i think i have to go to the library to find some sources......
On Friday, Rab reviewed our essays and we had time to gather our thoughts and take our essays to the next level. I totally forgot to use the Portfolio which allows us to construct the essay more logically....thankfully, Miki send me hers and i remembered the portfolio.

On Friday, i saw a program about a Chinese village, and then a documentary featuring the propaganda of the North Korean regime. In the documentary about the village, the main focus is on water availability. It detailed the difference between two houses, which, though only ten metres apart, have very different water in their wells. One house, having sweet water, was very prosperous, while the other, which had very bitter( high salt concentrations) water, had many health complications and were barely able to eke out a living. Seeing how water affects people is something that Japanese do not normally see. It also reminds me of the unfairness of the world- people with access to good resources almost always end up misusing them, and then say,' We have no aim in life'.
