      Many of the things i want in life are because i have grown up with them. My parents have always been role models for me. I think i would want the same lifestyle as my parents have even if it wasn't the best because it is something comfortable, something i would have grown up with.

  • These community-policing arrangements form the institutional structure through which residents, police, city officials, and non-profit organizations rebuilt Lakeville's dilapidated park.

      I enjoyed that he used the idea of bugs infecting our minds. I personally hate bugs and i think that many of the ideas that are being spread by technology are like bugs, they're bad or harmful. His jokes were also entertaining but i could also relate and understand his message.

      I can understand why people's decisions could be swayed by the framing. Differences in the way you present something can definitely influence how strong or weak your point comes across. I also agree that it can affect both informed and uninformed people.
