Where Do I Go With Speech and Debate?

This just talks about debating and freedom of speech.Like how well are you in front of crowd. Do you love to debate on an issue. Mainly that's what it talks about like how confident you can be a talk in front of a lot of people. Like talking about the government, acting, sales, broadcasting, law, speechwriting, library, public relations., counseling, and corporate trainer. These all have something to do with debate or speech. Can you do any of these? Maybe you can or maybe not. Try it. I like debate because then you can argue with other people about an issue. Doing a speech is not really my thing, but its alright.

Setting Her Sites

This talk about Robin Liss who was a recent college student who is now a (CEO) of her own company, which is called Reviewed.com. When Liss was 12 years old she started building web sites for fun and making claymation with her own camcorder. One she thought why don't she combined the two things she loves to do so much and make a career out of it, and that's exactly what she did. Because now she has her own company and she runs the whole entire thing. Liss is the youngest one out of all her employees. Liss has strict rules for her employees like: they can not accept gifts from manufactures. and they are not allowed to interact with the advertising sales team. So she's on the ball with her company and says that millions of people every month make a purchase based on what our editors say.

Working on the Railroad

This talks about being an conductor and the ways of the job. On the job conductors take tickets, collect fares, answer passenger's questions, and ensure that the passengers are riding safely. They also have to make sure that the train is in good condition; like making sure all the doors work and the lights. Yardmasters are people who tell the trains where to go and keeping them in on the right track and they do engine cleaning and maintenance by directing trains to the right stations. Being a conductor sounds pretty easy, but its not something I would do. I sounds like fun career job to do though.

E-Learning: The Anytime, Anywhere Option

E-Learning is about online schooling, and working at your own pace, and not have to worry about missing days. Just basically on your own time and anywhere. As long as you have internet. I wouldn't mind taking online courses I mean it would be a lot easier and faster to do ( I could get a lot of work done)and you don't have to worry about sitting in a long boring class room. You could just sit at home or the library. You can even chat with other people that are taking online courses like get help from them besides the teacher. I think that sounds really awesome and quick. I wouldn't mind giving it a try.

Prot3ct th3 D!g!t@l Front!3r

This talks about a crime that was made by Jeanson James Ancheta. He was only 20 years old and a dropout. Jeanson was also in a secret society of hackers called the Botmaster Underground( this allow someone to gain control over the computer system)The hackers were experts at what they did in including Jeasnson, he was able to infect 400,000 computers. When the cyber security specialists at the FBI discovered Jeanson's operation, they went undercover and went to the chat rooms as customers. Jeanson thinking their were just anybody sold some of his bots to them. Jeanson then got caught and was arrested November 2005, he pleaded guilty and was sentences to four to six years in prison. I mean who would do something like this I mean its smart but very wrong. Eventually he would've got caught I mean its the internet you never know who's on it. That's how he got caught thinking the were just some random people and little did he know it was the FBI. How freaked he must of been when they told him about how he got caught. Now he probably learned his lesson and doing something that crazy. I think a few years a prison should make him realize a lot of things. Will he won't being doing this again.
