11/17 Jordan Hernandez

  1. Why don’t schools teach investments and why it’s important. Why is Learning Personal finance important? Why is Learning this at a younger age important? Is it good to learn about investments?

2. Gallo when writing this he talks about both sides and how it can either be beneficial or harmful. Public surveillance can help people such as swimming coaches keep clean and be watched. He also talks about how there was a strong belief back in the nineteenth century about privacy, but due to this there was domestic violence on women in households. A lot of people have different beliefs top this topic. It is very controversial. The outcome to a topic like this can affect someones life. This topic depends how you view it personally and what you belief about surveillance.

3. Gallo uses a source and quotes it. The source he uses is ” The Circle” by David Eggers. The reason why Gallo uses this source is because he wants to show how Mercer (a character) gets out of surveillance. Gallo uses this to support his views (why its negative). Surveillance in competitive swimming for the youth is an argument that Gallo supports. The source he uses to back up his view is, “Swimming and conformity in competitive youth swimming” , which was written by Melanie Lang. He uses this to support one if his arguments, which focuses on surveillance in competitive youth swimming. Both of the source the Gallo used were good as they both supported the arguments that he was trying to make.
