MICROTRENDS -- Prompt 5

Microtrends, to me, are fashion trends that a small group of people follow. It isn't a trend set for everyone to follow or be aware of. It is a personal trend that individuals follow to have their own style
Teenagers knit because they want to find a new unique way to express themselves so they can start a hot upcoming trend for other teenagers. High-earners get tattoos because they want to spend their money and feel young.
Hilary Clinton hired Penn for her campaign because he knows the “real world”. Using his microtrend theory he identifies specific parts of the population and relates to them, thus making them feel special and getting their votes.
Free society tells people that no matter what they do its still “cool”, uniqueness is the main idea. Why not be gay, its unique. No matter what you do it a free country so express yourself do what you like. No one cares.
Penn’s book was purposely written and published at that date to help Clinton win.
As of a member of the student body of Weimar Academy, I do not have any microtrends at all.

REMEMBER 9/11?--Prompt 4

It didn’t really have a huge impact on me during that time because I was in the other part of the world. I didn’t hear much about it because I was like in my own small little world since I was only in 4th grade. My mom didn’t talk much about it either, all she told me was that the twin tower came down and that’s all I knew about it. I felt so sorry for the people in the building when I heard about it but wasn’t like balling myself out.
It kind of changed me in a way now though since I’m in America. For when it comes by everyone around me gets emotional and sad, and it pulls me in too. I think you guys should remember September 11 but you should not hold grudges about it.

ARE WE DONE YET?--Prompt 3

This was my first experience camping, like, real camping. I think it was an amazing experience even though I sore so bad. I didn’t really like the idea of freezing my butt off in the morning for shower which is like half a mile away. The beach was awesome and I loved it so much. I think it was actually the best part of the campout because I actually got a lot darker! YEAH!

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION - PROMPT 2

In my opinion, I think that illegal immigration is so bad that it should be stopped and abolished. It has a huge effect on our society because they’re actually changing the culture of some places in the U.S. Since there is many of them here it makes the rest of them in Mexico have the want of coming to the U.S. Lots of illegal Mexicans are riding on the backs of others by not paying taxes. They’re still benefiting from living in this country and they don’t have to pay tax. Therefore, the economy is going down because of the vast population of illegal Mexicans here. In Mexico, the work wage is really low just like China and so other countries make their products in these countries. But because of the vast amount of Mexicans coming to the U.S., other countries’ economy goes down due to more less workers. I don’t think its right at all to send people who have formed roots in the U.S. back to their countries because it causes the separation of family members. Even though I think that illegal immigration is bad for the country but the parents and their children should not be separated at all. We should allow those illegal immigrants to be here but force them to pay taxes and prevent the other illegal immigrants that are coming. I agree with some part of President Felipe Calderon’s stance but not all. I agree with his point that family members should not be divided but I do not agree with the rest of his point at all.
