Reviews by Pancho @ "Thinking Outside the Idiot Box" by Dana Stevens

⌧Thinking Outside the Idiot Box⌧

The passage “Thinking outside the idiot box” by Dana Stevens counteracts the logic of what Steven Johnson seems to believe when it comes to watching thriller television shows filled with a lot of suspense. There are some points in her passage that I disagree with. For example on page 298 where she states “But shouldn’t grown men and women be trusted to judge their own dosages, just as they would decide on the number of drinks they can handle at the bar?”

Drinking alcohol and watching television are two completely different events that have different effects on people. Ms. Stevens said that grown adults could be trusted to limit the amount of alcohol they put in their body, but yet most of them who go to the bar end up getting drunk. The same thing happens with television in an adult’s life. Some adults who might have lost of their job or just don’t feel the need to get one sit down and watch television for hours. They continue to watch the T.V until they end up falling asleep, and they never know when to stop.

While some of the points might have been a contradiction to Steven Johnson, I completely disagree with her point on adults being able to easily limit their time watching television. The characteristic that made her passage so strong would have to be when she challenges Johnsons’ theory on T.V making you smarter with the National TV Turnoff Week.

Page 298 clearly states this on the bottom paragraph: “There couldn’t be a better time to test Steven Johnson’s theory than National TV Turnoff Week- just turn the set off till Sunday and see if you get any dumber.” These are my views on the Dana Stevens passage.

My Personal Experience As a Bud Tender

Working as a Bud Tender in the corporate cannabis industry was a lot different than I thought it would be. I wanted to break into the industry as a Cannabis Sales Representative and decided that the best way for me to follow that path would be to work at a Medical Dispensary. I thought that it would be a great learning opportunity and a strong base for me to start with. After working at the dispensary for a month I realized just how low leaning occupations like this could be. It was no different than what you'd find at your typical retail center. Cash registers, useless managers, bogus work schedules that weren't even organized, and even lazier coworkers. Working for the medical cannabis industry was by far one of the best ideas I've had in a long while. The only problem is working something as low on the food chain as a Budtender. Positions like that could really discourage those who are seeking to join the industry. The gig as a clinical account represent...

Reviews by Pancho @ "As A Black Man Thinketh" By Reggie Whittaker

As A Black Man Thinketh ට This journal-sized book follows a very close POV style look at the Authors life and what he's been through over the years. He shines a light on common issues that black men go through living in America. Throughout the book, the audience is given a deeper insight into Whittaker's life when he explains his time being incarcerated in the jail system along with his marital issues. I really like this book because the author uses himself as an example that he can learn from and analyze with care. I personally resonated with some of the upbringings that he endured while being a child of black parents in America. Whittaker's ability to be as unbiased as possible makes him the perfect teacher to talk about common issues that aren't discussed enough within a race. We must not focus on the past, but in order to solve a multigenerational problem, one must learn to backtrack, hoping to see where the problem lies and where edits can be made. The subtitle ...
