- You should learn a foreign language. 1) Studies show that bilingual people have better cognitive abilities 2) Contrary to common belief, your brain doesn’t lose the ability to acquire new languages after you become an adult 3) Knowing more languages gives you access to more contents. Like being able to watch that one new Korean drama that didn’t get subtitled to English yet.4) Even though some people might say learning new languages would become obsolete because of the ever-advancing translating technology, bilingualism would remain relevant as a social tool.
- Gallo shows different sides of surveillance: how it can either be beneficial or harmful. He brings up examples of how public surveillance helps youth swimming coaches stay clean. He also talks about how a strong belief in privacy in the nineteenth privacy became a breeding ground for domestic violence against women in households. This is a controversial topic because everyone has very differing opinions. The conclusion to this question would affect everyone’s lives. Depending on how you use surveillance it can bring either good or catastrophic results.
- The original sources are quite a bit lengthy and complicated. They give a lot of detail. They also quote other academic articles. Which probably also quote other academic articles. Is there an infinite loop of academic articles quoting each other??? Gallo used his sources to give both sides of the spectrum for and against surveillance. From what I see, Gallo quoted them fairly.
