Storytelling

Who doesn't love a good movie? One that reels you in from the start and keeps you on the edge of your seat. When I think of these things, I think of  horror or suspense film. The movie "Don't Breathe" was released in August 26, 2016. Written and directed by Fede Alvarez. The movie is about three young teens who are in some troubles and will do anything they can to make some quick cash. They turn to stealing. Robbing others of their own belongings. One day, their prayers are answered when they come across this old man who is blind with a lump sum of cash inside his house. How easy right? Who couldn't successfully rob a blind man. The challenge they are about to face will be the hardest one yet. Someone will not make it out alive. They will find themselves trapped inside and fighting for their lives. As you will see in the trailor, it has a great hook. The movie starts out with movement.  This brings action to the viewers. It grasps your attention from the minute it comes on the screen. It also establishes the setting. It presents itself with a dilemma and shows the viewers what they are trying to accomplish, and how the might go about doing so. Once these points have been made in the first scenes shown, your viewers will be tied in and won't budge!

College: Is It Important?

When thinking about your future you must first think of some pros and cons of getting a college degree. You may think is it worth it? Is it worth the hassle and debt that comes with college and finances. You, yourself have to make a stance on what's going to be better for yourself. If you decide the answer is yes then, you have a few pros to think about. You will have the peace of mind you are fulfilling your requirements and doing the best you can. You want to always strive to do the very best you can. Once getting a degree, you may be able to have much more flexibility in your career choice. You can move up much faster than one who is been at the same job with no degree. College can make you more well-rounded individual because you get to move around more and found your exact niche that you think you may want to pursue for a career. You also may have more networking opportunities. You never know who you may met in college and get that connection with. You could later use this for a buddy to help you climb on board to create a alliance or new job path. Your cons are on another hand also something to carefully think about before making that next step. Will you be ready to take on a lot of responsibility with your studies. You must be dedicated to college and give it your all. If you do not do as such you may find yourself wasting not only your professor's time, but you valuable time. Time is of the essence when you are young. You do not want to waste it. The other main factor is the financial costs that come with paying for college. You don't want to go and spend all that money and time and then find out you'd rather do something different with your life, or fall in love with another career that didn't involve any college degree.  As shown on pages 452-458, the chart refers back to older ages vs the newer era. Back in the later ages, you didn't need much to go far and to succeed. Things required now didn't seem to matter as much as it does now regarding college. Now days, most places and jobs sites won't even look at you without a college degree and definitely won't hire you. I think now, much more jobs and companies look at the college you attended, and how well you did. Even with that, some companies may look at the candidate as too overly qualified. This means they may choose someone else for the job. In Alan Blinder's story "Will  Your Job Be Exported"? he is basically saying that the jobs that are important now, will they be more important in the future to come. Or will they be less concerning? He may or may not be suggesting that education will become a handicap in the job markets to come.(Blinder)

Leadership or Followership...

In my opinion… America has more of a followership problems that could improve. Both categories feed off each other. Everyone can not be a leader. Some Americans lack communication skills and ways to get their ideas across to others. A leader must have confidence not only in their self, but in America and the people they want to follow and abide by them.

Followership roles are sometimes difficult because they as the people have a hard time following the rules the leaders put into place. You have to be willing to listen and open to new ideas and communicating to improve the things and events going on around you. Sometimes followership is tough because Americans is also afraid of failure or what others might think of them. 

Americans are still very cynical in today's world as they were back in later times. With today's current protest, and presidential debates going on a lot of Americans are judgmental and cynical about what they believe in or what they stand for. They sometimes listen to others and their opinions and sometimes it's hard to sway others minds, where other Americans are easier and feed off each others input. 

In the last paragraph, Eisenhower says "always try to associate yourself with the learn as much are you can from those who know more than you do, who do better than you, who see more clearly than you." This means don't limit yourself and have a close mind. You can learn from each others ideas or mistakes. Someone will always know more than you do and you can benefit from this, instead of criticize or poorly communicate, take it to the heart, and benefit from the knowledge they might be able to offer you.
