The 76ers Are The Best Team Ever!

In my basketball course '82' me and my classmates had to make a 2 minute video argument on why the basketball team of our choice( and the season) was the best, and why. We had to state our case and find evidence backing up our claims. The team I chose was the Philadelphia 76ers in their 1966-67 season, I believe they were the best because they had outstanding players that beat the Celtics eight winning streak.  As you will also hear in my argument below I talk about Wilt Chamberlain and how he was a great asset to the 76ers. He was a player that played his own way of basketball and wasn't afraid of doing so. For this particular project the most rewarding thing about it was learning more about a different team and its history, something I usually don't have interest in today. The most challenging part was finding information on the team overall. In conclusion this project was short yet simple. Down below you will see my two minute reflection on why the 76ers are the best team ever!

We Wear Pink On Wednesdays!

For my Global Peace course me and my classmates had to create a non-violent project that spreads awareness to a cause we picked. The organization I chose was the Anti-bullying organization, (a.k.a) Pink shirt day. This organization supports anti bullying and tries to put a stop to bullying due to deaths, etc. Bullying is an act of use superior strength or influence to intimidate (someone), typically to force him or her to do what one wants . I chose this organization because they are trying to put a stop to a violent problem.
 For my action project I carried out a plan for me and my classmates to wear Pink on Wednesday since that was the actual day (but not the exact month) you are supposed to show support for Anti-bullying . I spread-ed the word by project telling people through posters, and word of mouth. I told people what my project was about and how they could support the cause (by wearing pink) . Although the majority of people I told did not show up I still managed to take a successful picture! The next time I have to do a project similar to this I will make sure I announce it formally to everyone. In conclusion this project taught me more about how people have organized these national events which is really great for people to become aware of.

Should The Heat Stay In Miami?

                                                                         AMK(2013)  

In my course '82' me and my class mates had to make an info graph based on a basketball franchise we had to pick, an info graph is a graph that shows visual such as charts or diagrams, to represent data. I made an info graph that represents all of Miamis data over the years. I am most proud of my info graph poster because it came out a success, it represents all of the information I need on the Heat and it is easy to maneuver(read) . What I wish could have been better was the text I used to write with and how it displayed on my bored. The basketball franchise I chose was The Miami Heat, The Miami Heat is a basketball team that started in 1997 in Miami ,Florida. I believe that The Miami Heat should stay in Miami Florida because, The Miami Heat today is a great team featuring great players; Dwayne Wade, Lebron James, and Chris Bosh These three players have led the team to two consecutive championships due to their outstanding performances. 

Also the team is well respected as 'leaders'.Since Lebron James came to The Heat in 2010, their attendance rate has gone up from 95.2%(in 2009-10) to 100.7%(in 2011-2012). The Miami heat attendance plays a great factor in the team in general because without the fans the franchise  would then lose money, and also support from Miami. Additionally The Miami Heat as a franchises is worth $625 million; $173 million for sport, $232 million for market, $142 million for stadium, and $82 million for brand. The Miami Heats worth is the 6th greatest in the NBA league.

The Miami Heat should stay in Miami because they would also attract a lot of tourists, Miami is a beautiful city that has wonderful places such as beaches, malls,and of course, The American Airlines Arena. I believe if The Heat continue to stay in Miami they would eventually become as big as the New York Knicks, or the Los Angeles Lakers. In conclusion I think the Miami Heat should delay on going anywhere , any time soon because, of how good they have been performing over the course of four years, also they seem to have very supporting fans which always makes a team compelling. Why would you want them to leave? 

Down below are bigger pictures of my poster.
