researched paper!

The overall topic of my paper is discussing obesity and the effects fast food has on it. My planned major is nutrition because I am so fascinated by everything about it and I think it would be such an interesting profesesion. One of the most common, but interesting topic is obesity. Who wouldn't want to learn about obesity? Everyone wants to know how people get fat and how they can prevent it too. I have found a lot of different sources and information about obesity and than others about fast food and obesity. There is no shortage of information for my research paper. A few problems I am having is find a lot of similiar information though. A lot of my sources are saying the same things so I do not know what source to choose from. I am not very good at deciding if a source is credibile either. I think they are all credible because if they are good enough to be found in a book or online shouldn't they have been edited and reviewed thoroughly? I also do not know if I am citing my sources correctly. I do not want to have points taken off for something so little. It is a very confusing process and I always have to recheck if I cited it right over and over again. Once I have all my information and I do not have to search for so many things I think this paper will blow by and it will not be hard to actually write the paper. I do not mind writing papers it is just the process of getting to the actual writing part that bothers me. To get through this I just need to keep a positive mind and relax. It takes a lot of time so I just have to sit down when i have nothing else to do and get started and don’t stop for anything. It is all about time management and procrastination to get papers done.

Jury Nullification

So as i completely forgot to blog this whole week, right before this class i have criminal justice. In criminal justice we have been talking about jury nullification. I do not pay very much attention to the news or anything like that so when i hear stories in this class i am amazed. Jury Nullification is a process where juries vote people not guilty even though they highly suspect or know for a fact they are guilty. I was amazed to even hear this. I do not hear much about court cases except for the very big ones, but I did not know this was a reoccurring event. We watched a video on how a lot of races vote people of their own race not guilty just to keep their race out of jail. The movie showed how an African American man highly believes that other blacks should vote for black criminals to be not guilty because there are too many blacks being sent or prison. Another black man highly disagreed with this because that is not just. It is like telling Irish people to keep Irish people out of court or whites to vote for whites to be not guilty just because of their color. I think this is ridiculous for any race. If people are guilty they should go to jail, that is how our legal system is supposed to work and I wasn't aware of all this illegal action being taken place. I find criminal justive very interesting because I always learn new things in there. Even though it is a very difficult class, you learn good information that keeps you interested. We have watched numerous videos like the jury nullification one, or mental illnesses in prisons, or campaigns against numerous of things. The class never fails to surprise me and I learn something new every day.
