    1. For the first violation, staff would keep a student’s phone for the day and call their parents. Punishments would escalate until the sixth offense, when a student would have to meet with the school board, whose members might suggest the student enroll elsewhere.

      To me, I remember during my school days, it was like this something similar but we had four strikes. 1st was wait until after school to get it from the teacher, then the office then wait until the next day then wait a month to get our phones back. It was terrible but I feel like punishments shouldn't go this far as to discipline, there should better tactics to give better punishments for students.

    2. “It’s great to say no phones, but I don’t think people realize the addiction of the phones and what students will go to to tell you ‘No, you’re not taking my phone.’”

      This highlights how smartphone dependence affects students’ reactions to policy, showing the emotional and psychological dimensions of bans.

    3. Instead of putting their devices in magnetically locked pouches, like they’re supposed to, some kids will stick something else in there instead, like a disused old phone, a calculator, a glue bottle or just the phone case. Others attack the pouch, pulling at stitches, cutting the bottom, or defacing it so it looks closed when it’s really open. Most students comply, but those who don’t create disproportionate chaos.

      Even when schools ban phones, enforcement is difficult, students find ways around systems, revealing behavioral and practical challenges.

    4. At Bullard High School in Fresno, it’s easy to see the benefits of banning students’ cellphones. Bullying is down and socialization is up, principal Armen Torigian said. Enforcing the smartphone restrictions? That’s been harder.

      This suggests phone bans can reduce bullying and improve social interaction, implying positive social effects beyond academics.

    5. Educators who have enacted the smartphone restrictions said they help bolster student participation and reduce bullying but also raise challenges, like how to effectively keep phones locked up against determined students and how to identify and treat kids truly addicted to their devices.

      This shows that taking away phones does get students to be more active in the classroom and erasing bullying is a big plus. The only downside listed is that it's hard to figure out ways to truly implement this because students will try to work around it. I think if there are clear improvements for students when this is implemented, it should be implemented more often. The down side I can think of is students not being able to reach their families, but that can also be done through phones at the office.

    1. When you find a book that is written about your topic, check the bibliography for references that you can try to find yourself.

      Using bibliographies are a good way to do research and a good source.

    2. Most writers find that the topics listed during the brainstorming or idea mapping stage are broad—too broad for the scope of the assignment

      This is explaining that topics need to be narrowed down.

    3. Discussing your ideas with your instructor will help ensure that you choose a manageable topic that fits the requirements of the assignment.

      Having someone give you feedback is important for tweaking your paper to make it better.

    4. A research paper presents an original thesis, or purpose statement, about a topic and develops that thesis with information gathered from a variety of sources.

      Research paper as an organized argument supported by evidence form multiple sources.

    5. The text Successful Writing stresses that when you perform research, you are essentially trying to solve a mystery—you want to know how something works or why something happened.

      This compares research to solving a mystery, showing that research is driven by curiosity

    1. A strong thesis statement must be precise enough to allow for a coherent argument and to remain focused on the topic

      Your claim must be clear and exact so your argument stays focused.

    2. A thesis statement is an argumentative central claim in a paper; the entire paper is focused on demonstrating that claim as a valid perspecti

      A thesis is not just a topic but a claim that must be proven with evidence.

    1. A trustworthy and human centric AI is both pivotal for economic growth and crucial for preserving the fundamental rights and principles that underpin our societies. Swift policy action is of highest priority.

      The EU connects AI innovation with human rights, showing their strategy focuses on ethics as well as economic growth.

    1. Crenshaw developed the term intersectionality - using an analogy of an intersection: one road representing a workforce structured by race, the other road by gender.

    1. nformation science methodologies are applied across numerous domains, reflecting the discipline's versatility and relevance. Key application areas include:

      Hay muchos campos actualmente donde se aplica la ciencia de la información tal como menciona este apartado que abarca la mayoría sino todos los aspectos de la vida actualmente, tanto a nivel personal como a nivel organizacional o de estado/gobierno, en calidad de usuario y proveedor o comunidad para comunidad. Al tener una presencia tan indiscutible hace que la profundización de sus procesos e investgaciones generen valor dentro de la misma disciplina tanto como para los que se benefician de los resultados.

    1. The white people have no right to take the land from the Indians, because they had it first;

      Europeans had no right taking the land away from the native people

    1. with myself and children have had the good fortune to get my freedom, by means of an act of assembly passed on the first of March 1780, and should now with my family be as happy a set of people as any on the face of the earth, but I am told the assembly are going to pass a law to send us all back to our masters

      This highlights the injustice the enslaved African American people had to face, even after gaining freedom. There was a possibility of a law that might re-enslave them. The author wrote this letter to talk about the cruelty and injustice of taking away the freedom they gained

    1. Both Mars trilogies, then, stage the conflict between ecologicalconservation and commercial development as a central feature of theirextraterrestrial societies. Bio- or eco-centrism of the kind articulatedby Waterman and Clayborne has been controversial in environmental-ist thought because its valuation of nonhuman nature in and of itselfhas often been accompanied by a more or less thinly veiled antagonismto the human presence, and to willful ignorance of the ways in whichmany supposedly “pristine” landscapes around the globe have in factbeen reshaped by indigenous societies for millennia. The untouchedsurroundings celebrated by deep ecology, so the movement’s critics haveargued, are far more exceptional in reality than ecocentrism alleges, andare often nothing more than a politically pernicious myth that choosesto forget the violent expulsions of indigenous people that often precededthe establishment of “wilderness” reserves. Since Mars does truly confronthumans with an environment that they have never yet have had a chanceto alter in any way, it seems to offer ecocentrism a firmer foothold thanTerran landscapes. In a sense, then, Bova’s and Robinson’s trilogies opena fictional window onto humankind’s last encounter with a truly “other,”not humanly altered, environment—nature in the authentic sense of BillMcKibben’s definition.

      For me, a biocentric ethic should not be misanthropic or deluded about humans being a part of nature and influencing other living beings and the environment. What biocentrism should be doing is critiquing certain human behaviors that do not respect the balance of the webs of life.

    1. At the same time, Karl Marx (1818–1883) articulated a view of human history that likewise emphasized change and struggle. Conflicting social classes — enslaved people and their owners, peasants and nobles, workers and capitalists — successively drove the process of historical transformation.

      Marx's ideas of class conflict have always intrigued me, and I see them hold true today when we think about the elites and the working class. In my opinion, it is a shame that the Cold War and Red Scare created a taboo around critiquing capitalism, as Marx's theory of class conflict provides a very useful sense for looking at the power disparity between colonial elites and the working class. The wealth gap continuing to grow larger and larger makes me anticipate further class consciousness, although, I do not know if I foresee a classless society as Marx describes.

    2. If religion drove and justified European ventures abroad, it is difficult to imagine the globalization of Christianity (see Map 15.2) without the support of empire. Colonial settlers and traders, of course, brought their faith with them and sought to replicate it in their newly conquered homelands. New England Puritans, for example, planted a distinctive Protestant version of Christianity in North America, with an emphasis on education, moral purity, personal conversion, civic responsibility, and little tolerance for competing expressions of the faith. They did not show much interest in converting native peoples but sought rather to push them out of their ancestral territories.

      I find it interesting how, historically, Christian faith was often not used as a personal conviction but more so as a religion as a tool of the state. Puritans saw indigenous people as obstacles to removed rather than souls to be saved. This directly contrasts Early Islamic Caliphates as they had significant cultural synthesis and trade-based conventions, and were typically more tolerable towards other cultures and beliefs.
