Top 5 World Problems" "Week 4"

Problems of the world

1)      Police brutality: I think it is unfair that little is done to police when they kill someone. They get put on a PAID leave of absence. Not saying that all police killings are wrong but I believe it their punishments were harsher for killing people without weapons they wouldn't be so quick to pull the trigger.

2)      Laws for Felons: once a person. Has paid their dues to society they should be able to get a second chance. After a person is a felon they almost have no chances to have a normal life. There should be a time limit on it so that they can live their lives.

3)      Prison sentences for nonviolent crimes/ sexual crimes: I understand that people who do wrong need to be punished but there is no way a person who commits a sexual crime should be allowed to have equal or lesser time in jail than a person who may commit a drug crime or a white collar crime. I think that the courts should focus on reality and say who was hurt during the crime. That should be the measure of a sentence.

4)      Racism: Yes racism still exist. It is just quietly done and is not socially acceptable anymore. Many of the older generation is where we need change. Children are to taught hate just like they are taught to fear. If the older generation was willing to stand up and say it was wrong then it will stop

5)      Women getting paid less: Why is it that women at an not make as much as men? What makes us less than? I think that as long as a person has the necessary skills to have the job.... They should be allowed to do so. This can be fixed if they simply disclose what everyone is making and make it fair

I picked Police brutality as my first issue because too many people are getting killed while officers are getting off. I believe that EVERY life matters no matter what is said. If they are not trying to harm you, you should not be harming them.

Solutions to Problems

1)      There should be a time limit on it so that they can live their lives. If they have not gotten into any trouble over the course of 5 years they should have all rights restored and their record wiped clean

2)      I think that the courts should focus on reality and say who was hurt during the crime. That should be the measure of a sentence. I also believe that more people need help than a prison sentence. Perhaps they can try and help people instead of locking them away forever and when they get out leaving them no life

3)      Not saying that all police killings are wrong but I believe it their punishments were harsher for killing people without weapons they wouldn't be so quick to pull the trigger.

4)      If the older generation was willing to stand up and say it was wrong then it will stop

5)      This can be fixed if they simply disclose what everyone is making and make it fair

I picked there being a time limit for felons to be felons because it can be fixed! It is not hard for them to put some sort of law in place that looks at felons on a case by case situation and determine if a person has changed or if they are still the same.

week 3 worlds biggest problems

Prison sentences for non violent crimes/ sexual crimes: I understand that people who do wrong need to be punished but there is no way a person who commits a sexual crime should be allowed to have equal or lesser time in jail than a person who may commit a drug crime or a white collar crime. I think that the courts should focus on reality and say who was hurt during the crime. That should be the measure of a sentence.

Racism: Yes racism still exist. It is just quietly done and is not socially acceptable anymore. Many of the older generation is where we need change. Children are to taught hate just like they are taught to fear. If the older generation was willing to stand up and say it was wrong then it will stop

Taxes: Taxes need to be fair whether you have children or not. When I was 21 years old I was really struggling and just knew I could get help from my tax return. I was told that because I had no kids and not married that getting money back was not going to happen. I think the IRS should not make it easier for single mothers with kids than they make it for a single person

Police brutality: I think it is unfair that .ittle is done to police when they kill someone. They get put on a PAID leave of absence. Not saying that all police killings are wrong but I believe it their punishments were harsher for killing people with out weapons they wouldn't be so quick to pull the trigger. 

Economy: the economy has still not gotten back on track. I believe a lot of that has to do with what the government spends their money on! It amazes me the amount of women who are able to work sit on welfare! It's really a shame that our country is in debt and if they would just look closely on what they spend money on then there wouldn't be so many issues

School course: I believe that after a person finished high school they should not have to take certain classes to get into their degree courses. If they wouldn't have to pay for those classes their tuition would be lower. I think that it's all a gimmick to get more money out of a student. 

Immigration: I have no issue with immigrants coming to America because I understand them wanting a better life. I don't agree that they should have to pay taxes but not. E considered a citizen. I believe that if they pay taxes they should be allowed to be citizens as well 

Grants for immigrants: I think it is unfair that there are grants for immigrants to open businesses that are not available to us as Americans. We are citizens yet we can't get as much help as them. I think they should make it equal for all people to get the grants  

Laws for Felons: once a person. Has paid their de to to society they should be able to get a second chance. After a person is a felon they almost have no chances to have a normal life. There should be a time limit on it so that they can live their lives

Women getting paid less: Why is it that women at an not make as much as men? What makes us less than? I think that as long as a person has the necessary skills to have the job.... They should be allowed to do so. This can be fixed if they simply disclose what everyone is making and make it fair

Bug List week 2

1.     I hate construction in the middle of the day on I 4.

a.       I guess they really can’t do everything at night and the construction will male travel on I4 much easier

2.       The IPhone charger cord is too small and if you buy one that is after market, its too long.

This was really ahrd because it forces you to actually look at the negative. I'm sure there are more but because I am so use to them I am probably over looking it 

Introduction Week 2

Hello! 

My name is Bridgett and I live in Orlando Florida. My Major is Business Administration and I intend to take everything I learn here and be a beauty mogul . I am the oldest of 3 children ( I have 2 younger brothers) and although I look really young ( view the picture above) I just turned 30! I am ALL about fashion and beauty. I feel like women in those industries are frowned upon because people don't understand how much work goes into those businesses. I choose to go to UF because it is an accomplishment that many people wanted to achieve but failed to do so. I went to Valencia College first and of course I could have just done UCF but I didn't feel like that was going to be enough for me. I needed to make a statement and I feel like making it into here was one! In the upcoming years, I will make more of them, that is a promise! 

My Entrepreneur Story Week 2

When I was 22 years old I meet my hair stylist and I thought that she was really cute. She always had the longest extensions and I always wanted them as well. Her and I became extremely close and she started telling me about her hair and how she ordered it over seas. Me being the researcher I am, I started looking up hair on the internet. I ordered my first batch and had her to install it. EVERYBODY ( men included) loved it. They would ask me where I got it from and how much was it. After I would tell them that I had gotten it over seas and how much it cost they were completely uninterested. I thought to myself, if I could bring over seas to America, I could make a ton of money! So I put out ads on a popular trade websites and even made a free website to sell my hair. I did that for a while but felt like it was not done right. Keep in mind I was only 22, had never owed a business, and knew nothing about it, I just knew I liked it and I could make money on it. Eventually I closed it down in order to better my brand. I wish I could say that my brand is well known but, that part of the story is yet to be written.

I honestly joined this class because it was a requirement for my degree. Now that I am apart of it and have seen some of the things we will be doing, I must admit I am excited to see what I take from it.

Below is a picture of me with my hair
