Cheating

            Cheating gets easier and easier as we advance in technology. You can now go on the internet and find your quizzes and tests with the answers to them and nobody will now. Lets look at the cost benefit analysis for a second. The cost of cheating is a bad grade and getting in major trouble. The benefit of cheating is getting a good grade and feeling good about it when you do finish.
              There are so many ways to cheat. For example, you can put a piece of paper with all the information you need on it inside your water bottle, you can put it on the back of your ID card, you can write it on your hand. I just found 24 ways on "how to cheat on a test". It is really that simple.
               There is also cheating in social ways. Men and women both cheat on each other. When they do that they are doing infidelity. Infidelity is the abuse of relationships for personal gain. Most men and women want more than one spouse so they have one and then cheat and have another. You always see the sad stories on the news or tv shows about how one of them cheats and either ends up dead or divorced and unhappy because no one wants to be with them because they know they cheated.
                  There is also a third way of cheating. You can cheat in games also. Every game as some way to cheat. I cheat when I play Monopoly. You can also cheat during sports.
                  There are many ways to cheat. So many it uncountable. Just don't cheat because 9 out of 10 times you get caught.

PASSWORDS CAN NO LONGER PROTECT YOU

M          With our society today, it has made passwords extremely easy to get into. All you need is the right equipment and your good. If you have a password for anything someone somewhere sometime will hack it. Passwords can no longer keep you safe. 

           I interviewed 2 people all asking the same question, "how many accounts do you have with a password and how many of those are the same?" The first one has 35 accounts and at least 20 of them have the same password. The second person has only 14 accounts and 8 of them have the same passwords. Now a days, if a hacker gets into only one of those they can hack into more. It's safer to have different passwords. With the first person I interviewed if a hacker was to get into one of those accounts they could get into 19 more easily. 

           Your passwords now need to have a capital letter, numbers, and it needs to be very long. The most common passwords are 123456, yes, and no. In our society now, people are careless about their passwords. They don't care what it is but they will for sure after it's been hacked but by then it's to late. NEVER USE THE SAME PASSWORD! EVER! Long passwords are the best. 

           A password is a single point of failure open to many avenues of attack. The majority of hackers are looking for money, are over seas syndicates, or just bored kids. There are places on the internet now where hackers can find out everything about you. For example white pages, they allow hackers to look up a name and then they give them where you have lived, where you live now, how many kids you got, ect.. 

            People are now using biometrics. Examples are iris scanners, finger print scanner, DNA or blood samples, and voice authinefication. The differences between biometrics and passwords are you can always change your password after it's been hacked but you can not change your DNA or fingerprint. Banks are now monitoring your patterns. If you only take out a little money or put a little money in and then one day you put a lot in or take a lot out then they get suspicious and call you to make sure everything is all right. 

              As I have said before, passwords can no longer protect you.

The church

       We go to the church we go to now probably because we like the music, image, people that attend the church, etc.. But have you ever noticed that the people on your street all go to different churches?

Everyone on my street goes to different churches. Now a days, there are so many churches that we don't come as a community and go to one church. 

         If there was a law that you could only go to the church that was within 2 miles of your house do you know how much closer that would bring you and your neighbors together? We become a tribe of individuals when we go to different churches. We are a community that goes our separate ways.  Me and my friends drive across town to get to our church. When we can just drive or maybe even walk (if it's close enough) to our church. 

         I go to my church because I feel at home there. Other may go because they like the up to date music or the pastors messages. There are many different reasons we go to church. But I do think that we may become closer as a community and learn more if we went to the church that was specifically for our neighborhood. I think things would be much different if we weren't all tribes of individuals.

Jennie finch is a world wide famous softball player. Jennie went to the university of Arizona. She has been playing softball her whole life. She is now spreading her knowledge of softball across the country at all the different camps she does. I have been recently asked by my social media teacher to do six degrees of separation. Well I picked jennie finch. But the problem is she is so famous it's really hard to find her and get a hold of her. For my six degrees of separation I did me-heaven(used to play softball with)-her hitting coach(also plays on the Cal Bears)-her friend(who knows some people)- who knows some people- Jennie Finch.  That's my 6* of separation.
