MICKY D'S

When McDonalds hired 50,000 thousand people, it was a good thing. The economy was bad and McDonalds gave it a brake. People got jobs, mostly adults and experienced workers. Any manager would hire a professional chief who worked in a 5 star restaurant instead of a teen who just has experience for cutting the lawn. The teenagers who are looking for jobs to start their life suffered. McDonalds is a job for teens, its easy, doesn’t require much experience and pays a decent salary. Teenagers need these jobs to start off their life. When a person who has 300$ in the bank tries to make a business, they wouldn’t get too far. But if a person who had a job in there childhood and saved the money had 10,000, they are most likely to have a small business. That’s how my father started his life. When he was 16 he had simple jobs and slowly saved up. His very first job was to assist a farmer with tractors, and as he went to work, he would carry a rifle to shoot groundhogs that are digging under the barns. At 25 years old he saved enough money to start a small machine shop. The past 30 years that machine shop grew and turned into a successful business. My father started in a 25 foot, by 25 room building. Now he’s employing people in three massive buildings. All this started off because he had a simple job. Now when the teenagers need a simple job, adults have taken it. I do not think it was a good idea, and ruined a couple kids future.

Not Being Selffish


Someone who did something unselfish was Mr.Mazz. He went to Haiti during his vacation and donated his help and other items of his own. Mr.Mazz took the risk of getting a disease, getting jacked or even dying of heat stroke. Mr.Mazz gave away all of his belongings be brought to Haiti, and left with nothing but the clothes on his back. During the time I was in sixth grade, Mr.Mazz held a fundraiser. He sold so many of his things from his troll collection. I think he made over 3000 dollars, and donated it all to Haiti.
            He spent his time working with children in the hot sun. Still willing to give, Mr.Mazz has is a really nice person. He gives more to others then himself.

To add people’s opinions into my writing, I would say what they think. After adding my thoughts, I would add some statements other people have said. Maybe I could add some actions they did, and talk about it. But I truly never put other people’s thoughts in my writing. If I write something, it’s going to be mostly about me; unless I was told to write about others.

yearbooks is journalism

Yearbooks are filled with memories; friends, teachers, events, and maybe family. Journalism is in yearbooks too. Year books could talk about events that happened during the school year that was very interesting. For example, Mr.Mazz went to Haiti during the summer. The pictures that he took went into the yearbook. The Haiti earthquake was all over the news for months. Here we have pictures of a situation, memory and history. The year book is just like a paper, just memories.

How has writing changed

Journalism has changed a lot during these years. In 1990 people used the news paper to get information about the news. They would have to go to a store or have a person deliver a paper to them. Then actually go through pages and look for the article you want to read. Now-a-days, most people go on the internet and search the topic they want to read about. Instantly the article pops up talking about the news. Plus some people go on the news paper’s website and read off of that information. Sometimes a person can get information faster on the internet then a real news paper. The articles could be up only faster then actually printing and selling the news paper on the street.
Now everyone is so crazy about being green, this paragraph is for them. Putting articles on the internet can save trees. Probably why a lot of people are now going to the internet for news is because they don’t want a tree to be cut down. Plus all the ink that is being used to print plus all the gas that is used to deliver the paper to people. All of that isn’t “eco-friendly” and putting the news paper on the internet is “eco-friendly”.
Journalism changed a lot the past years, mostly because it’s faster and eco-friendly.
