The reason behind our selection of articles is quite simple: We wanted to choose interesting articles, yet could also relate to our lives today, and in the future. For example: the reason for the gaming article is to express the sadness that as college students, we no longer have the luxurious time as we do as high school students for leisure activities. Readings pile up. However, one could argue that readings can be done in school hours instead of home. We agree. The article about solar energy relates to us in a technological way where in the next twenty to thirty years (our prediction), humans no longer need to depend on fossil fuels for sustainability, not to mention the ever more dangerous build-up of toxic chemicals in our atmosphere. So in the long run, It relates to our lives in the near future. In our opinion, the gap between college and high school does not seem all that wide. It’s the exact feeling one gets transitioning from middle school to high school. However, one may argue that college life varies depending on the school as mentioned in our next article. But we feel that adjusting to college life is not difficult. We do however, agree that it changes our lifestyle. As of now, social norms and government laws do make us feel much safer compared to the ancient past, however, it does not protect us behind closed doors. In a sense, as adults, we feel the need to be responsible and put our lives, integrity, and actions in our own hands. It’s our way of saying “The world is a dangerous place”. Thus, the article we chose for this exact purpose is about the subject of rape. Our opinions on rape is simple. We do not tolerate anyone who condone such actions (obviously), and we wish the worst upon those to practice it. Ever heard of the slang “spending all that Google money”? well, now it’s legitimately a green light to say it because Google stocks just hit over one thousand dollars. Hooray Google! What it means to us is that we will see a increase in the amount of Google activity in our lives in the future. In other words, more Google tech. It isn’t a bad thing. Google makes terrific stuff. Have you seen Google glasses? It looks like something out of Star Trek. we kept saying to ourselves that this is just the beginning of sci-fi technology, and we are extremely hopeful we are on the dot. Speaking of money, the next article focuses on money and politics, or more specifically, our nation’s debt. We are democrats. Screw the republicans and their greedy intentions. Liberals for the win! Apparently, the national debt will continue to affect us in the near future since sixteen trillion dollars takes a while to pay back (we say it with the most sadness). It also affects our careers since Baruch is a business orientated school. Business translates to money. Most of our majors are orientated towards business. Therefore, what we do will affect the economy (insert dramatic music now).
