"God Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the Courage to change those things I can, and the Wisdom to know the difference"


Cherokee Prayer Blessing:
May the Warm Winds of Heaven
Blow softly upon your house.
May the Great Spirit
Bless all who enter there.
May your Mocassins
Make happy tracks
in many snows,
and may the Rainbow
Always touch your shoulder.

Polls for Thought

The problem with polls and the results from suck is thus: the questions can be biased toward one idea of another. The same question, just with a few words switched or added, can completely change the results obtained. Also, a question can be so loaded with extremes or information that the person polled does not really support either idea asked, but still answers because he or she feels obligated to do such. Here I have tried to shoe there is ideas using my topic and making various claims toward it.

1.) Are you for or against the idea of teens (kids ages 15-19) and preteens (ages 8-12) owning cell phones?

2.) In your opinion, is it beneficial for preteens or teens to own/use cell phones regularly?

3.) As technology increases, more and more kids are using cell phones or other communication methods to stay in touch with friends and family. Is this beneficial or detrimental to these children?

4.)Do you agree or disagree that in an increasingly technological world teens and preteens are becoming dependant upon communication tools such as cell phones?

5.) Would you agree or disagree with the statement “One of Three teens or preteens owns and uses a cellular phone.” Why? – The fact is true/false - The number is too high/too low

6.) What is the reason teen and preteens are spending so much money and time on cell phones? – Want to feel more ‘grown up’, popular, liked - Technology is easier to use -Phones are more affordable for most families -Parents ask children to carry the phones, as a precaution for safety

7.) Why is cellular communication so important in today’s society? -Ease of use Cheaper -more portable -stay in touch easier - want to be “up-to-date”

8.) Do you agree or disagree with the statement “cellular phones are the most used communication device.”?
