Is forced volunteerism good or bad?
 There are many junior and high schools over the country that require students to do certain number of hours of volunteering or community service.

I think that volunteering is good for any person. Everyone should do it. But it shouldn't be forced upon someone who doesn't want to do it. Instead of schools forcing their students to do some community service they should promote it around their school for a certain amount of credits. If the school gives a certain amount of credits the student will not be forced but will be given options to receive credits by giving community service.

 Students choose community service for many reasons. For some students this will help them graduate or apply for a scholarship for college. And this also helps them in their future.

 If a school feels that their students should try community service then they should plan 1-2 field trips a year and show and support community service. I would feel much better like this than making students make certain hours of service.

 Like I said the schools should promote service around the school like giving announcements, offering clubs after school to do some king of service. I think that when a school is open to many service opportunities they are a good school.

I've seen many juniors and seniors doing some type of volunteer work a schools, shelters, hospitals, etc. and it helps them in a educational way and emotional way. Some of these students did it to help them get credits, apply for a scholarship or just to do it, but some thought it was fun and kept doing it.

 Some students may think it will help them and doing community service by the school will be good but it should not be forced instead students do something around the school without anything being so hard for any student to do.

Movie Review

Captain Philips, Not worth watchin g Paul Greengrass directed "Captain Philips" a mediocre and unexciting movie that portrays in the plot Richard Philips (Tom Hanks), who commands the 'MV Maersk Alabama' container ship with no kind of arms or protection, sailing to Mombasa, Kenya. While in a practice drill for security, the crew is chased by four Somali armed pirates led by Abduwali Muse (Barkhad Abdi). Their first try to attack the Maersk Alabama did not succeed. Although Philips did his best effort to secure the ship, these four pirates come back the next morning and this time succeed and successfully attach their ladder to the Maersk Alabama. Philips comes up with a plan for his crew members to hide in the engine room and allows himself to be captured while offering $30,000 for the ships peace and security. Muse does not accept and instead wants in exchange millions of dollars. Shane Murphy, or first officer of the Maersk Alabama (Michael Chernus), sees that o

Magazines part ll

Early Magazine Cover -Magazines back then are not as we see them today. They started with a title and table of contents. There was no description of what the magazine was about. Some just had a picture or illustration than a description.  Cover lines were used and many had no covers and just started with an article. In the later 1800s there started to be covers with more illustrations and the name of many departments to be found inside the magazine instead of a table of contents. Poster Cover - These appeared in many types of magazines. They could be defined to as there are no cover lines or themes noted. Some of the poster covers had no relation to the story inside the magazine. The picture in the poster was more for a mood or the season in. In early and mid 1900s poster covers were used more prominently. They fist started with no cover lines and went adding a few over the time. It was used a lot in the 20th century but still is around. Pictures Marries to Type - They many be inte
