Audio Slide Show topics

Topic 1
One topic that I believe I could do my audio slide show on is texting and driving. I think that texting and driving is a problem that all drivers or people on the road need to be addressed of. Texting and Driving has become "popular" in the last few years since texting is the new form of communication. Because people have such hectic lives they believe they can do anything at the wheel. Texting and Driving is a huge distraction and puts you at a much higher risk of being involved in a serious accident. Texting and Driving is not only puts the "texter's" lives in danger but also any one else's on the road . Although some states have made texting and driving illegal it has not stopped the thousands of accidents and deaths that occur each year. Texting and Driving is said to be just as bad or worse than driving under the influence. It is said that you  should add 4 feet if driving under the influence between what you normally do behind the car while 70 feet between you and the car in front of you if texting. Texting can wait and we should not put the lives of others or our own in danger.

Topic 2
Another topic that I could do my audio slide show on is cyber bullying. Bullying is seen in every elementary, middle, and high school across the United States. Most students believe bullying no longer exists. However they do not realize that a new form of bullying has arised called cyber bulling. Cyber bullying is when someone harasses, threatens, humiliates or or embarrasses another person across the Internet.  Teenagers cyber bully due to frustration or anger with another person. They can do this by posting a mean status about someone or uploading embarrassing pictures or spreading rumors across the Internet. Facebook and Twitter see cyber bullying commonly through young people. Although bullying used to cause physical pain cyber bullying causes more emotional pain. There have been cases of young people committing suicide or causing physical pain to their bodies because of cyber bullying. We all need to take a stand and stop cyber bullying and have more parents and teens become of aware of what they are doing.

  1. Elle, both of these ideas are good ones for this coming assignment, but I think the texting and driving topic would be your better choice. The time contraints on the slideshow might not let you devote the attention to cyber bullying that such a topic requires.
