Methods of Development - Juna (12 F) Empty Methods of Development - Juna (12 F)

Sun Sep 22, 2019 2:19 pm
From what I've read so far out of all the sources given (below), I felt like if I were to compare it with our school High/Scope, the idea of censorship and blocking any websites on the globe sounds like if the school is being too overprotective on every websites available that people wanted to search about. It feels like there's a limit based on the topic and the content criteria of what's being searched on the internet. Wherever people are at, people are always logged on to the Wi-Fi to search based on what they like, but in school there are limits to that. The idea of that is to be educative and positive so that we feel disconnected from what is happening outside in the world on the internet.

I get it, the idea of blocking sexual pornography, violence, and many other inappropriate things on the internet is a good way to show students positivity, but isn't the limits too high and restrictive for that? Social Media is blocked on the computer during school hours (back before you were here, Mr. Stockton), YouTube now only shows several good videos we wanted to see while blocking the Comments section. I'd say the school puts too many limits with their web filters, it's not a bad thing  but it's also not a good thing if the limits are high. Students should be free to express what they want to search on certain times, they spend 8-10 hours a day in school while the things they got are only limited to the knowledge they learn. This also includes teachers, because sometimes the information that they needed is not available but only small. With the school using censorship over the internet, we are limited and drifted away from the things we see on the internet.

In the end: School Censorship, please piss off. We're all grown up now, so there's nothing in the world that you could hide from us that is already existed in the internet.
So let us see, and we'll all be in peace & free.

Complete.

Put your thesis statement right at the start, instead of the end, to make it easy to find for the reader/invigilator.  Put the sources in brackets like this: (Source B) or like this: (Higgens) so it's very easy for the invigilator to see that you have used three pieces of evidence.

What is the best method of development for presenting your argument?
