PART1:
What is the different between best friends and regular friends? And why do we care about having a lot of friends on Face Book?

I think the way people become “best friends” is first they be normal friends by meeting somehow and talking for a little and then they start talking more and then they stay together more and I guess that’s how they become best friends. I believe every person has old friends, and those friends are used to be your friends and still your friends but you just don’t talk to them. Why do we tell are close or best friends everything basically but not are regular friends? I guess its because when we tell them are “secrets” they wont tell those “secrets” to anyone and that’s what so special about them.

There is a lot of differences between friends and best friends, first your best friends you talk to every day and tell them everything, any “regular friend” you just say hi or sometimes days passes and you don’t even talk to them.

The reason of why we care about having a lot of people on are Face Book or Myspace is to show off, so when are family or someone we know click on are profile sees that we have a lot of friends so I can make them think I am more important than what they think, even though half of the friends we have on are pages are people we have no clue who they are.

PART 2:
Can stranger be depended upon in life or death situations? Are we closer to the strangers around us more than we realize?

Hey Sarah
I think you need to write what you think the answer is for those questions, but what I can help you with is, you can talk about how the people in the street would help you if you were in good cloths and looks like you do have money, but if you were a homeless they wont even look at you, like that guy in queens that got stabbed and bleed to death and no one even stopped to help him. If he had a suit on , an ambulance would be there in 5 minutes and everyone would have stopped to help him.
I think you do have 2 strong questions, just write more.

Question: How do we place family vs.friends in our lives what makes one more important then another?

Hey abe,
I think you also need to write what you think of answers to you questions, but I can suggest something that you can mention.
I think we see are friends more than are family and are friends are on the same age as us and they can understand what were talking about more then anyone else, so I think friends can be closer in this place, but we always care about family just because there family, and maybe if were close t them also.
I think you do have two good questions, just write what you think an answers to them, I hope I helped.

http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/cyb/newslog/Surprise+Facebook+Friends+Arent+Real+Friends.aspx

basically all of those sources are talking about the diffrence between real friends and facebook friends and that's what i'm really trying to address through my two questions,and its saying that most of facebook friends are just numbers to look at and that 2 or 3 people to talk with everyday and have a real conversation is better than 700 facebook "friends".

my result was EFNJ, (extravert intuitive, feeler, judger)
"people f this type tend to be friendly, outgoing and enthusiastic; affectionate articulate and tactful; highly empathetic but easily hurt; creative and original; decisive and passionately opinionated, productive, organized and responsible."
great careers for this person therpist
college professor
writer/ journalist
social worker....And a lot to go

i think this result is true and its talking a lot about me but not in everything i guess not everything because i didn't answer one of the questions right, one of the things that i really don't think is good for me, the part with the careers, i don't think i am a good writer to be a writer but i wouldn't mind social workers because i like to help people and talk to them a lot.
if was asked to describe my self i would have said, i am not that organized but i am responsible, i think of others need and feel more than i think of what I do need and feel, and i think i should change that and make it more equally, think of others needs and yours in the same time. my result says that i am a judger, my result said that i am "extravert" which is i am a people person and i think i really am, i believe in the arabic saying "no one would like to go to heaven if it was emptied from people" i like to deal with people and i think thats a good thing and i would enjoy it in my future career life, there is bad people that be mean and not nice but who cares about them you can just ignore them.
i really enjoyed ding this survey, it was fun and interesting to read about my self.

When I started reading the questions that on the survey I felt like they were deep questions that you need to answer with being fully honest and not just answer them because you think you have to answer this way like an example, “you’ve been drunk?” when guys ask each other at school that questions, most of the time the answer automatically be yes even though they have never been drunk.

The percentage of the people that said they have been drunk was %36 and the percentage of the people that answered yes on “ does your family really know who you are?” was%31, you can tell that someone lied while there answering the survey because if your family really know who you are (%31) they wouldn’t have let you get drunk And I was also surprised when I saw that there is a %6 of students said that there s a violence issues in there house.
What toke my attention also is the suicide question were 2 or 3 people said that they think of suicide, and when I read people feelings and thought about the survey, not that much of people mentioned it including me, I connect this to what we said in class where we only look at big numbers and ignore small ones even thought those small numbers still counts and those people feelings matter.

I think comparing stuff is a good way to make us see us stuff closer and deeper and it makes it more interesting to read.

The thing that I noticed about the teen survey was that most of the adults would agree that most teens only think about sex and how well they are in it. I agree with them also, and I think if we want to do a survey like how we did in school, most of students would answer the way they think they should answer not the truth. So it would come up not fully %100 right.

Everyone in life is trying to be excepted by others and in socity, now why do we care if we get excepted by other? I think its because we were rasied on seeing are parents and everyone in front of us caring of what others think and being excepted by others and mostly because if a lot of people say someone is bad or good then its what they decide because if it was one person that said someone is bad then we won't believe it, but when a punch of people do then I think everyone do believe it.

Having a friend means to feel comfortable being with and telling your stories to, In life there is 2 type of friends, the first one is the real friends we see and hang out with and talk to a lot, and the second one is the people we call "friends" but we barely talk to you or hang out with and there like FaceBook friends. And we like to have a lot of friends on FaceBook, even though we don't know half of them, but we like it when others see that we have a big number of "friends".

The way we should treat people: it should be the same way they treat us, so if someone nice to me, I should be nice back, if they be mean were obviously going to be mean back, and i also think that we should treat people the way we like to be treated, treating people is like a mirror to the way u treat them.

Everyone love there family, and I do too, why is it like we have to love are family? I think its because they are the one that toke care of us when we were little babes and there the one who helped us to be what we are right now.

I think the idea of are movie was a good idea, because a lot of student likes there teachers and like to help them if they have any bad things going on in there life, because teachers are helping us to become better people and with out teachers there would be no tomorrow and no future.

The movie we made in class is (this teacher that snort cocaine and get caught by his students and they ask him to stop it and he does for a little while and after a while they caught him again doing it but he promise them again that he wont do it, and in the end the teacher close brother dies and it really effects on him)
I think are movie message was to show how there is some students that still care about their teachers and like them, and that the relationship between the teacher and the student can be a friendship relationship.

The differences between he film we made in class and the movie we watched “freedom riders” that in are movie we are showing that the students is helping the teacher but the “freedom riders” the teacher helps the students in there problems.

I connect are movie to are general life that there is always someone there in life to help people that are feeling not good and try to help people by telling them to stop doing the bad habits (like how the students helped the teacher to stop snorting cocaine) and I think its always worth the try to help people that have bad habits even if were believing it wont work.

EXTRA CREDIT ASSIGMENT

The movie “the class” is showing how it is in class for both sides the student and the teacher, and its showing that in class the troublemaker of the class are always sitting in the back of the class and those or one student is the student that the teachers be talking about like Suleiman in this movie and they talk about what they can do so this kid can do better.

The movie started where the teachers welcoming each other for the new year there starting and then the teachers starts to talk about themselves and what they teach, from the behavior of the students in class I noticed that they were not interested in school and one of the girls was showing attitude to the teacher like in that part were the teacher asked them to write there names and this girl told him “I wont wrote my name, if your not writing your name” like that’s not a way to speak to a teacher with.

To answer your question “Do you hold the teacher responsible for the damage done to Suleiman?” I don’t think MR. martin is responsible for the damage done to Suleiman, and if MR. martin had to find ways to deal with Suleiman I don’t think it would be easy for him, because Suleiman don’t let the class know about him that much so how can the teacher know how to deal with him if he doesn’t know the way he think, I liked when the MR. martin put Suleiman pictures on the board so everyone can see, Suleiman was saying “ ohh there not good” and the MR. martin was like “no you have good work” and you can tell that Suleiman liked it that the teacher had his pictures on the board so everyone can see them even though he was saying “ oh don’t put them on the board”. This way from the teacher makes this type of students think that there doing good work, and it makes the student feel like doing more work and probable even think of doing homework.
I don’t think a 14-15 years old are responsible for their own choices , they might know what’s right and what’s wrong but even if they know themselves doing something wrong but there having fun then there okay with it, like as an example playing video games and not doing homework

In the beginning of the movie the principle was welcoming the student in front of the class, it reminded me of how MR, fanning be in the lobby every morning, and another thing got me thinking of SOF is when they compared students with Wei, it got me thinking of how some teachers in school compare us to other school student as the other school is better than us.
Overall I enjoyed watching this movie and it got me thinking of the situation and relate to it.
