Tesla Model 3 unplugged by "concerned resident" over fears of battery "blow up" - 1 views

  •  
    This article is written by an independent journalist who is clearly biased towards supporting the company Tesla. The author writes a scathing critique of someone who unplugged another person's Tesla out of fear of a battery fire or explosion. While the author does have data to back his claims and his critique seems to be well placed, readers should be wary of his flippant attitude concerning the overcharging of electric vehicles.
  •  
    I agree with your observation of the clear bias towards partisanship of Tesla's in the article, given that the website host name is "Teslarati". It seems as though this article is more than anything akin to a click-bait feed as its goal is to incite readers to feel frustration and outrage at whomever put the sign on the tesla pictured, although a few decent points are made throughout the article about the positive aspects of Tesla vehicles its difficult to take it seriously as a source of information with the tone of the article being slightly juvenile and the authors Biography being a testament to his endearment for Elon Musk.

  • child has access to role models who are Deaf.
  • Hearing parents of children who are deaf seem to have greater reluctance about sending their children because they do not want to be separated from them (Scheetz, 1993).
  • Parents who are Deaf themselves often choose a school for the Deaf over local schools because of the opportunity for their child(ren) to participate in the life of the Deaf community and culture
  • Students who are deaf and who attended mainstream schools must continue to prove their allegiance to the Deaf culture if they have chosen participation in adulthood (Reese, 1996).

      the author is biased in their writing and offers a biased perspective of this
  • the curriculum of the typical residential school tends to be less rigorous than that of other schools (Lane, Hoffmeister, & Bahan, 1996).
  • parents tend not to participate in their child's education to a sufficient degree
  •  
    The author reviews the purpose of Residential Schools for the Deaf and how they influence the social life and wellbeing of the children who are sent there for the better. The article shows a bias leaning towards the schools although there are many hearing families who find themselves troubled by the idea of sending their Deaf children away from K-12 but the article brings forward the positive aspects of how a residential school is uniquely capable of helping deaf children develop confidence and capable social skills that would allow them to experience a proper education unlike a mainstream public school in which they would most definitely be out-casted by their lack of resources, culture, language, and role models. It shows both the pros and cons of the residential schools for the Deaf in America but with a clear bias, however this is not unreasonable. Despite the clear bias towards residential schools from the author the article offers a point of view of hearing parents finding issue with sending their child away from home for long periods of time as they would experience with a residential school.

DRM Business Model in the Works for 3D Printing Designs - 0 views

  •  
    Before 3-dimensionial printing has had a chance to become a popular household trend, a company named Authentise has already set up a business model to protect other companies from "physical piracy" of their intellectual property.

    Children have more to gain from being taught responsibility than the fear of over exposing them does. It is important to be their role models in life.

    This kind of article should be spread around to help decrease and get rid of bullies. Many just think that it's only teasing but they don't know that can stay with you forever. This article shows that we do stay with lasting affects when bullied.
  •  
    Restorative Justice is fine when you have a student who is willing to put forth the change and in turn is a positive role-model for their peers. Sometimes, it's just a pat on the back and the student is left to deal with the challenges of being in a school where bullying is tolerated by their peers. Sometimes these pre-teens and teens have some serious mental issues that need to be addressed outside of school. It infuriates me that the innocent, kind and quiet kids, become targets for these kids. Bullying is a power play by some very manipulative children. I vote for serious consequences on bullies. Kick them out of school period! 1st offence, your counseled, 2nd offence there is the door!

    This article should be exposed to anyone who has been bullied or bullied anyone.

    It is so sad that someone else's actions can forever alter your mental state or even end your life.

The Effects of Immigration on the United States' Economy - Penn Wharton Budget Model - 2 views

  •  
    An article from a college about statistics and effects immigration has on our economy. Negative or positive you make up your mind on how immigration effects us.
  •  
    Definitely a topic I always find myself neutral. I try to have positive outlooks with the U.S. being the number 1 with the immigration. I get that most immigrants come here for the American dream (freedom) but then I think shouldn't they come here the right way by becoming a citizen first? Since we would have to as well if we were to go live in their countries. Then I see stuff on the news in the U.S. about shootings, bombs, etc caused by an immigrant. That would be my negative outlook.
  •  
    This article was very interesting. I have often wondered what the effects of immigration are, and if they affect the economy positively or negatively.

    The fact that we continue to face and see discrimination when it comes to health care is appalling. When dealing with health, health care providers should not be biased on who to help due to their skin color or certain characteristics.
  •  
    There is no reason why there should still be discrimination in health care, they're saving your life regardless of your color.
