Policies and Governments

We start off our first presentation, done by group 4 in a sense of doing a different rotation to our familiarity. This draws the spotlight on the education system and how it’s integrated a lot with our environment or how it should be structured. We are shown many different ways in how humans play a major role in the destruction of our environment. From water contamination, to air pollution. Mind you I learned that water contamination can happen in schools. Knowing  young students could possibly be drinking different runoff chemicals and toxins is insane. This grows deeper into showing us solutions like implementing different clean acts or policies to help reform our communities and government. This could help majorly especially since many still don’t believe climate change is something that exists or even a struggle as of now.  We are shown how the education system could play such a major role in our future.

    Information! Blog on Informative Presentations - Santana Corr What an experience! It has been working with these groups for their informative presentations!

I'm having so much fun participating in our public speaking class! I am learning how to become a better speaker every day. I have learned the most from other people's tactics and mistakes. We have learned so much about the basics of public speaking, and it has only made me more eager for what the rest of this course has to offer. To see just how much nuance and technique there actually is in public speaking is very fascinating. I think public speaking is a very important skill for people in all lines of work. Especially for my major, business, which not only requires speaking to the public about your business but also investors.The sharing of knowledge is essential, and we all prefer a c...
