#xhsapology Socrates was trying to prove that his way of thinking and examining was enough to prove himself innocent. I agree that if he had tried to gain pity from the court, it would have disproved his entire point.

[Lauren M. @lgracem0908]

#xhsapology The group did a good job describing the Socratic Method. I also think that Socrates was using the method, not exactly to get an answer, but to get to the exact point he was trying to make in his own defense.

Here’s a photo of me and my group having fun together 😌
A few things I expecting from this class is to increase my love of English class, as I have always been more of a math person. I also expect the class to help me to gain more confidence in my writing skills. @mrgormanxhs

The focus should not be on weight loss. A mindset like this leads to disordered eating, both over the calorie limit and under. A focus should be on improving the quality of food which, in turn, can lead to the consumer shedding some pounds. #vendingmachines

[Lauren M. @lgracem0908]

However, the most effective way to get people to make healthier choices is to have them readily available. There would be no need to obviously list calories or macros if what was inside the vending machines were not a cause for concern. #vendingmachienes

[Lauren M. @lgracem0908]

A more effective and healthier mindset would be to put emphasis on fat and sugar content, instead of allowing people to consume whatever they want as long as it’s in their calorie limit. #vendingmachines

[Lauren M. @lgracem0908]

The focus on calories alone is similar to a disordered mindset. It disregards the actual nutritional value of the snacks and focuses on calorie count, which should be the last thing someone should consider when consuming food. #vendingmachines

[Lauren M. @lgracem0908]

The 2010 Affordable Care Act listed that the calorie count of the snacks inside must be labeled. However, this emphasis on calories alone is completely unhealthy. #vendingmachines

[Lauren M. @lgracem0908]

Vending machines are usually stocked with unhealthy snacks and sugary treats. The most effective way to treat this problem would be to replace the contents of the vending machine, not list their calories. #vendingmachines

Kaepernick has not been let back onto the field for over three years now. He’s prepared for a comeback. It’s time for people to understand that people have diverse opinions and should not be shunned for bringing these opinions to light through peaceful protest. #secondchance

[Lauren M. @lgracem0908]

Kaepernick is a skilled football player, and he should not be blacklisted because people have misunderstood or take offense to his reasons for protesting #secondchance

[Lauren M. @lgracem0908]

The United States has had a history of oppressing people of color. Kaepernick’s refusal to stand during the anthem was not to bring down the noble foundations of this country, but to bring light to the corrupt ones. #secondchance

[Lauren M. @lgracem0908]

Kaepernick had not meant to disrespect the United States by kneeling during the anthem. He meant to push awareness for pressing issues that are prevalent in society today, and he deserves a spot back on a NFL team. #secondchance

[Lauren M. @lgracem0908]

Colin Kaepernick was the football player who started protesting against police violence and racism by kneeling during the national anthem. He should not be punished for pushing for the rights and protection of people who deserve it. #secondchance

[Lauren M. @lgracem0908]

It took a lot of strength to accuse Brown of assault. Doubting Taylor would diserve her and other vitims of sexual assault. However, regarding her account true would diserve to those falsely accused. Proper evidence must be discovered before any punishment. #NFLcodeofconduct

[Lauren M. @lgracem0908]

Both of sides of Brown case were shared with not much evidence on either side. Brown claims both parties consented, while Taylor claimed she was forcibly raped. Until either claim can be proved true, Brown’s punishment should be kept mild. #NFLcodeofconduct

The injuries on Hill’s child cannot be directly connected to Hill, but the slight chance that he didn’t hurt his child does not outweigh the chance that he did. He shouldn’t be allowed near his wife or child, let alone on the field. #NFLcodeofconduct @jschmidt_james

[Lauren M. @lgracem0908]

Tyreek Hill has been given multiple chances after accusations of domestic abuse, and multiple times, he has ignored these chances and repeated his actions. Hill has not been suspended. He’s gotten his second chance, he deserves no more. #NFLcodeofconduct @jschmidt_james

[Lauren M. @lgracem0908]

Hunt was signed onto the Cleveland Browns after the accusations made against him because it was thought he deserved a second chance. There should have been more repercussions for his actions. Second chances should be earned, not given out. #NFLcodeofconduct @jschmidt_james
