Final Exam Part 3

Giving children allowance is something that many parents do. But many times, children don't always deserve it. When a restaurant employee decides not to come to work, are they going to get any tips? No. Now, should children be rewarded with an allowance if they haven't done anything to deserve it?
  
 My answer to this question would have to be no as well. Many parents believe that even though their child hasn't done anything to deserve an allowance, they should still be given one regularly to teach a lesson in how to be financially responsible. But the lesson that these parents are trying to teach isn't going to be accurate if the child doesn't have to work for the money that they are receiving.

   In the real world adults know that money isn't just handed to them, and that getting a job is necessary in order to live a sustainable life. Unlike an allowance, money is never just handed to you. I think that when you are given money , you have an incorrect sense of how much you really have, which causes irresponsible spending. 
Using your own money makes a person more aware of how much money they are spending and how much of it they are wasting. Because when you have actually done something to earn your pay, you aren't going to want to waste it on pointless purchases. 

The lesson that parents are trying to teach actually ends up backfiring with the children because little do they know, the children won't be ready when the time comes for them to get a job and do things for themselves. 
   
Which brings me back to my point that is, just providing an allowance for no reason is not going to teach children a valuable lesson in finances. If anything, it may confuse them in the future when the financial faucet is tapped out and they have to find a real way to make a living and use the profit's both wisely and correctly.

   I believe that instead of sticking with the same allowance through and through, parents should either make their child work for what they get or take away some or all of the money if the child doesn't do what is asked of them. Being more realistic may not be fun for the children but in the future, they will be thankful that they learned a harsher and more helpful lesson.

Merger Preview

1. Is there something you see in the photo above that you think could be a problem when you take your photos? Look carefully. Shadows would definitely be an issue and just different lighting in different layers. 2. Where do you think would be a great place to take this type of picture here on the Bowie campus? By the roses would be an interesting place to do it as there are many different places to pose/do. 3. Can you think of something creative to actually DO in the photo when you take yours? I could be smelling the rose, jumping over myself from the bench in the garden, or getting closer or farther from the camera. 4. Is there something you could wear that would help you when you do this photo? I don't really think clothing would affect anything but it might look cool if you coordinated your outfit with your surroundings.

self portrait assignment

Image
-Alter Your Perspective -Break the Rules of Composition -Experiment with Lighting Environmental Portraits: I really like both of these images because they create a realistic image of what is happening in the different settings. Self Portraits: I really liked these two images because they capture the subject of the photo in such unique ways. Casual Portraits: These photos do a good job of clearly showing someones everyday appearance *casually*. For my self portraits, I would make sure to be in an environment that I commonly use to show a little bit of my personal life in the photograph. I would also create good lighting in the room/space to shoot a clear and bright photo.
