Cybercrime: Cr. A

Our first unit of the year is cybercrime. Cybercrime is really important to know about and to understand what it is. Its really dangerous and there are lots of types of cybercrime for example downloading, stalking, identity theft, etc. We have to make a scavenger hunt for the 6th grade to show them how important it is to know about this subject. Each of us chose a topic. I chose downloading. I learned things while making this scavenger hunt, which I didnt know before. These are the websites I've used to create the scavenger hunt on downloading:

"What is Piracy?." The Indian Music Industry. IMI, n.d. Web. 6 Sep 2010. .

"Copyright Theft." The Industry Trust. N.p., n.d. Web. 7 Sep 2010. .

"Manchester Counterfeit Factory and Warehouse Raided." The Federation Against Copyright Theft. N.p., 9th August 2010. Web. 7 Sep 2010. <"Manchester Counterfeit Factory and Warehouse Raided." The Federation Against Copyright Theft. N.p., n.d. Web. 7 Sep 2010. . >.

"Its Copyrighted." Its Copyrighted. N.p., 2006-2007. Web. 7 Sep 2010. .

"What Is Piracy?." N.p., 2006-2007. Web. 7 Sep 2010. .

We are going to test this by giving these scavenger hunts to the 6th graders to figure out. The specifications were no less than 5 questions and also websites had t be given on the scavenger hunts.

Criterion B Careers

I decided that i wanted to be a psychiatric counselor. I would like this job because I like listening to people and im good at it. I like listening and giving people suggestions. I dont really like perscribing medicine or seeing blood, so I dont think I could be a surgeon. I just like listening to peoples problems and issues and guiding them through.

Careers Evaluation

I think that my product isnt as good as i wanted it to be, so i think I deserve maybe a 4. "Aiste's entrance video was simple yet good. It got to the point and while filming i heard what she was saying and they were essential information. Her things that she said sounded realistic and was a well organized speech." Rebekah sais. According to her I should get a 6. i did a lot on the investigation. I have test answers and desrciptions of my personality. i am an SFP, so that means i could be a photographer, councelor, actor and more. I think this is true. on criterion B, we had to make a career plan for the future. Mine was very basic, but specific.I still need to write a pargraph on how I decided to do that. I think I could have put in more effort in my work, in this unit. I didnt really like this unit, but its not my choice either.

Careers

The possible careers for ESFP are actors, artists, photographers, counselors, sales representatives, fashion designers, interior decorators and consultants. I have always liked fashion and taking photographs. I dont think I would be a good counselor. I think these could be my future careers.
