    1. land speculator

      A land speculator is an investor who purchases vacant or undeveloped land with the primary goal of reselling it for a profit after its value has increased. Spain gave Austin land to sell to immigrants, mostly Anglo Americans.

    2. Royalist forces

      Royalists did not support Mexico's independence. They did not want the Monarchy to be eliminated. Republican forces wanted Mexico to be independent and the elimination of a monarchy.

    3. Constitutional rule came to the area that would become Texas in 1812 during the Napoleonic Wars

      Napoleon removed Ferdinand from office suddenly and forcefully. He made a government where a monarch was the head, however they were limited by a constitution and democratically elected government.

    1. Thus functionalism emphasizes the importance of social institutions such as the family, religion, and education for producing a stable society.

      I feel that we do live in a functionalist society. The values are family instills in us is what help with what we contribute to society.

    2. When we hear about these individuals, it is easy to think that their problems are theirs alone, and that they and other individuals with the same problems are entirely to blame for their difficulties.

      This is important because I have noticed some individuals blame people for their problems. It’s important to realize that they have these issues because of the social atmosphere they have in and other factors in their life’s. Thus, they are not at fault for the circumstance they are in.

    1. Visit O*Net (http://online.onetcenter.org/find) and look up one of the careers you may be considering.

    2. Define the difference between a job and a career.

      The difference between a job and a career is a job is work for you to earn money and a career is a long term path.

    1. __________________________________________________________________

      I think it could be right because a Mexican could be more relaxed, but generally speaking I would say that is not always true and depends on the person.

    2. Journal

      I have never noticed any different values from any other groups on campus. Someone might struggle understanding why the group does certain things, but I do not know what kinds of differences their group may have from mine. I think neutral characteristics and no stereotypes. I think that someone will notice my work ethic and kindness after getting to know me.

    1. influences our realities, but even people who speak the same language experience cultural differences because of their various intersecting cultural identities and personal experiences. We have a tendency to view our language as a whole more favorably than other languages.

      I see a lot of people who have strong biases towards their own language and cultures. When you understand something and have grow up with it your entire life, you are much more bias to that unlike something that is different. I know since I only know English, I get flustered when others speak in different languages because I cannot understand them.

    1. The level of clarity with which we speak varies depending on whom we talk to, the situation we’re in, and our own intentions and motives. We sometimes make a deliberate effort to speak as clearly as possible.

      This is true. When I speak to my friends casually I tend to not annunciate my words as well. But when I am speaking to new people or trying to get an important message across, I will speak much more clearly hoping that they understand what I am saying. If I want something, I tend to speak differently to try and higher my chances or actually obtaining it.

    1. Expressing feelings can be uncomfortable for those listening. Some people are generally not good at or comfortable with receiving and processing other people’s feelings. Even those with good empathetic listening skills can be positively or negatively affected by others’ emotions.

      My dad is a very empathetic person, so talking to him about certain things is sometimes very difficult. If I am ever upset, he will instantly take on my role of sadness because he doesn't like it when I am sad. Or sometimes if I should feelings of sadness and he just wants to fix the issues, he gets grumpy.

    1. encoding and decoding, that meaning is generated as sensory information is interpreted. The indirect and sometimes complicated relationship between language and meaning can lead to confusion, frustration, or even humor.

      With communication, sometimes the message I try to give is misinterpreted by the other person. There has been times where I say one word or phrase, and my friend will completely misunderstand and think that I just said something completely different. And it only gets harder over text, at least in person I can see then speak and ask more questions but in text there is even typos and that makes it even worse.

    2. For example, the word calculate comes from the Latin word calculus, which means “pebble.” But what does a pebble have to do with calculations? Pebbles were used, very long ago, to calculate things before we developed verbal or written numbering

      I like how this relates to tally marks too, how we use each line to represent one, then group them in five

    3. Definitions help us narrow the meaning of particular symbols, which also narrows a symbol’s possible referents. They also provide more words (symbols) for which we must determine a referent. If a concept is abstract and the words used to define it are also abstract, then a definition may be useless. Have you ever been caught in a verbal maze as you look up an unfamiliar word, only to find that the definition contains more unfamiliar words? Although this can be frustrating, definitions do serve a purpose.

      Slang is hard to describe sometimes if a person is unfamiliar with it, as well as if it's a word well known that people are so familiar with that we don't know how to define it because it's used so often to define things

    1. The news media overdramatize violent crime, which is far less common than property crime like burglary and larceny, by featuring so many stories about it, and this coverage contributes to public fear of crime.

      We see this a lot in the Bay Area. This is also true with the way the media shows us when a cop makes a mistake but leave important parts of an investigation out.

    2. some do not receive this consideration and thus do not become a social problem;

      I think this is specially a problem with minority groups. Certain social groups, like politicians do not recognize minority problems as social problems, and there is constantly a fight to get our issues addressed.

    3. generally

      I think this is an important part of the definition. It is important to note that what some social groups might consider a social problem is not always be recognized as a problem by others.

    1. Slavery, of course, continued in the United States until the North’s victory in the Civil War ended it. African Americans outside the South were not slaves but were still victims of racial prejudice.

      Even after the Civil War put a stop to slavery, African Americans were still slandered, stereotyped, and attacked. The saying "The more things change, the more they stay the same" applies to this.

    2. white mobs attacked African Americans in several cities, with at least seven antiblack riots occurring in 1919 that left dozens dead.

      During the 19th century mob violence that occurred in US cities, prominently white mobs would attack and target African Americans due to their skin color being "something less than human"

    1. hus, people can literally eat “on the run.” Indeed, freezer, stovetop, and microwave technology have revolutionized the way people can cook, eat, and live.

      Transition

    1. Social networking refers to systems that allow members of a specific site to learn about other members’ skills, talents, knowledge, or preferences. Companies use these systems internally to help identify experts

      Think of things like LinkedIn or enterprise social networks like teams or slack

    1. The tenacity of the strikers inspired students at the University of California, Berkeley (UCB) to form their own Third World Liberation Front in January 1969, who began a separate strike for Ethnic Studies at UCB (Delgado, 2016).

      This is nice to learn about. It’s not often that I see student activism actually making big swooping motions in the way that our country works, but it’s inspiring when it does. It’s very easy to feel discouraged when seeing other people advocate for important causes and seeing nothing done even with so many voices behind it, so it’s nice to see when it actually does make a difference.

    2. In the end, the strikers won nearly all of their demands, including the creation of a Black Studies Department, the funding of 11.3 new full-time equivalent faculty positions, a new Associate Director of Financial Aid, the creation of an Economic Opportunity Program (EOP) with 108 students admitted for Spring 1969 in this program, as well as 500 seats committed for non-white students in the Fall of 1969 with 400 additional slots for EOP students, and a commitment to creating the School of Ethnic Studies (Rojas, 2010). The School of Ethnic Studies later became San Francisco State University’s College of Ethnic Studies, which includes Africana Studies, American Indian Studies, Asian American Studies, Latina/Latino Studies, and Race and Resistance Studies. The strikers’ unmet demands included that Dr. Nathan Hare and George Murray were both denied faculty employment in the newly formed Black Studies program. Despite these losses, to this day, the strike remains the longest student strike in U.S. history and is a testament to the power of student mobilization (Delgado, 2016; Maeda, 2012; Rojas, 2010).

      the strike was a success!!

    3. student leaders from the BSU and Third World Liberation Front (TWLF) started a strike. The TWLF was a multi-ethnic coalition of students that were awoken to the fact that they were being taught in ways that were dominating and irrelevant to themselves (Maeda, 2012), and included a coalition of the Black Student Union (BSU), Latin American Student Organization (LASO), Intercollegiate Chinese for Social Action (ICSA), Mexican American Student Confederation, Philippine (now Pilipino) American Collegiate Endeavor (PACE), La Raza, Native American Students Union, and Asian American Political Alliance. These movements built on intergenerational traditions of protest and advocacy that informed the emergent groups that formed, established, and nurtured Ethnic Studies (Delgado, 2016).

      This passage is very important because it shows how no matter what ethnicity, background, cultural, etc. when we come together, we can make huge movements with a positive effect.

    1. The introduction of colonial educational and epistemological frameworks led to the attempted erasure and genocide of Indigenous lifeways. Building on centuries of colonization, in 1869, the U.S. government and Christian churches began systematically kidnapping Native American children and trafficking students into government and church-run Boarding Schools, which were designed to forcefully strip students of their Native American heritage and impose the use of English, Christian religious customs, and colonized modes of dress.

      While this almost comes off as comically evil with modern context, it’s also very reassuring to know that we’ve at least finally come far enough as a people to attempt to start fixing the way that history is taught. It was nice seeing the broader discussion of Columbus and how it’s important for us to not exactly celebrate what he did and instead remeber those who were wronged.

    1. It emerged out of struggles and the long histories of communities of color and Indigenous peoples who value education for its potential to transform lives, inspire change, raise awareness, and disrupt systems of power and exploitation.

      This makes me wonder how this worked legally. Or really how any class emerges as a legally required field. I never really stopped to consider that before.

    2. It emerged out of struggles and the long histories of communities of color and Indigenous peoples who value education for its potential to transform lives, inspire change, raise awareness, and disrupt systems of power and exploitation

      I never knew the history of Ethnic Studies or what motivated the people to develop it. Now after reading it I am inspired.

      1. The Cornell system is a lot more organized than the list method of taking notes.
      2. Benefits: typing is faster and easier than writing to many people. Problems: Taking notes by hand is proven to be more effective for the memory, and you can be tempted to take notes of everything the professor says because you can keep up with what they are saying.
      3. Ask to see another classmate's notes and make them your own (do not copy them as your classmate wrote them), ask the professor what you missed in class that day, and if the professor records their lecture, listen to it.
    1. The Cornell method is designed to help students with memory and organization. If I were to pair this with my method of taking notes (The outline method), I would probably be more organized in how I take my notes.

    1. Remember that the reduction in quantity supplied is a movement along the supply curve—the curve itself does not shift in response to a reduction in price. Similarly, the increase in quantity demanded is a movement along the demand curve—the demand curve does not shift in response to a reduction in price

      this things move along the curve because they are already on the X/Y axis, other factors are not

    2. More generally, a surplus is the amount by which the quantity supplied exceeds the quantity demanded at the current price.

      company overproducing, the price exceeds the equilibrium price (the price they should be asking for) ex. they produce 35 million and $8, but buyers consume 15 million at that price surplus = 20 million lbs

    1. Which of the following are examples of unchecked IOException IndexOutOfBoundsException NullPointerException ClassNotFoundException NumberFormatException

      The following are unchecked exceptions: IndexOutOfBoundsException NullPointerException NumberFormatException

      The remaining two are checked exceptions.

    1. Mike Bunn’s Writing Spaces chapter “How to Read Like a Writer” introduces students to the concept that texts are the product of writers’ choices and can be studied as models for students’ own writing; its inclusion of questions students can apply to texts they read helps students learn how to read rhetorically

      I am definitely most intrigued by this section because he is teaching the students how to read rhetorically. This stood out to me the most because I agree that this is how kids should be learning to read as they will need to use this type of reading in the future.

    2. The emphasis on content-based readings that resemble literary analysis is a product of instructors’ own familiarity with literary analysis, as those teaching writing are often former English majors who tend to be more well-versed in literary critiques (in which the emphasis is on what is written in a fictional text) than in rhetorical analysis (in which the emphasis is on the choices the writer made in attempting to achieve a particular purpose and how those choices influence the ways various audiences respond to the text).

      The lack of context in the tests will affect the students because they are not having to critically think. All of the tests they are having to read are not real situations or have a real purpose, this means that they are not gonna learn how to read in a critical way.

    3. As teachers understandably grew fearful about losing their jobs because of low test scores, they devoted class time to preparing students for the tests rather than developing practices that would have helped students improve as readers and writers. Standardized tests often rely on multiple-choice responses that neither allow for complexity of thought nor invite students to draw connections between the text under consideration and their own experiences.

      To me this definitely sticks with me. throughout all of high school and middle school I have struggled with reading. Being able to read is way more important than getting a 36 on the ACT. You use reading in your everyday unlike the standardized test questions.

    1. the passing there Had worn them really about the same,

      Both of the paths he is to choose look the same. He looks down both paths to try and see if one would persuade his choice more but, they are both just as "worn".

    2. I shall be telling this with a sigh

      The sigh could be interpreted in different ways. He could be sighing in regret of his decision. Maybe he is sighing because he is just relieved with his choice, or maybe it is a sigh of the belief that there is hope in the choice he made.

    1. Because an equilibrium state is achieved when the forward reaction rate equals the reverse reaction rate, under a given set of conditions there must be a relationship between the composition of the system at equilibrium and the kinetics of a reaction (represented by rate constants). We can show this relationship using the decomposition reaction of N2O4N2O4\ce{N_2O_4} to NO2NO2\ce{NO2}. Both the forward and reverse reactions for this system consist of a single elementary reaction, so the reaction rates are as follows:

      does this mean the relationship between the forward reaction and reverse are directly related to the k constants? or do we need to find the k constant first?

    1. The rate of dimerization of NO2NO2\ce{NO_2} (reverse reaction) decreases rapidly with time, as expected for a second-order reaction. Because the initial concentration of N2O4N2O4\ce{N_2O_4} is zero, the rate of the dissociation reaction (forward reaction) at t=0t=0t = 0 is also zero. As the dimerization reaction proceeds, the N2O4N2O4\ce{N_2O_4} concentration increases, and its rate of dissociation also increases. Eventually the rates of the two reactions are equal: chemical equilibrium has been reached, and the concentrations of N2O4N2O4\ce{N_2O_4} and NO2NO2\ce{NO_2} no longer change.

      I'm having a hard time understanding what this means. I thought being on equilibrium meant that both reaction had the same reaction rate regardless is the reaction was forward or backwards. so my question is will the reverse reaction will always be faster than the forward and if so how are these equation at equilibrium when they are happening at different rates. does equilibrium has to be at a particular time or position?

    1. Are you a “traditional” or “returning” student? List an important advantage you have as a result of being in this classification:

      I am a tradition student and it helps because I retain my knowledge from high school and it helps me apply it to college

    1. Process

      I don't really understand this process part. Is this just the business part of tech? What does it really have to do with computers in a whole.
