Cruise Gone to shame

This story\article talks about how a cruise ship captain, was and led too close to shore. When Francesco Schettino(Captain) made a wrong move he abondanded ship leaving the whole passangers and staff under both stress and fear for thier lives. As no one was reported to be dead, there probably was alot of injured passangers. As many would say "a captain goes down with their ship" was not applied in this situation, Schettino was probably more scared than anyone if he was willing to do that. It shows his character and how he can just leave alot of people behind, which will most likley tramatize many individuals. To me this shows that people need to be taught how to honor others and show appretition, I doubt this was just miconduct on the cruise captain's mind. He was probably tired or thinking, that would be the only reason. Either way he still did wrong, but he still is a human bieng and deserves some sort of respect.

CURIOSITY: “C” students seldom explore topics deeper than their face value. They lack vision and bypass interconnectedness of concept. Immediate relevancy is often their singular test for involvement.

1. RENENTION: “C” students retain less information and for shorter periods. Less effort seems to go toward organizing and associating learned information with previously required knowledge. They display short-term retention by relying on cramming sessions that focus on details, not concepts.

2. ATTITUDE: “C” students are not visibly committed to class. They participate without enthusiasm. Their body language often expresses boredom.

3. TALENT: “C” students vary enormously in talent. Some have exceptional ability but show undeniable signs of poor self-management or bad attitudes. Others are diligent but simply average in academic ability.

1. ATTENDANCE: “C” students are often late and miss class frequently. They put other priorities ahead of academic work. In some cases, their health or constant fatigue renders them physically unable to keep up with the demands of high-level performance. They think it is ‘cool’ to be tardy because it makes them think they are big shots. Skipping class is another downfall for the “C” and failing students.

2. PREPERATION: “C” students may prepare their assignments consistently, but often in a perfunctory manner. Their work may be sloppy or careless. At times, it is incomplete or late. They postpone doing home assignments in order to text friends, visit friends on Facebook, or send tweets to some of their followers. They take shortcuts to complete academic work. They are short-sighted because they can’t see the long range of destruction of taking shortcuts. It never pays off.

2. PREPERATION: “A” students are prepared for class. They always read the assignment. Their attention to detail is such that they occasionally can elaborate on class examples.

3. CURIOSITY: “A” students demonstrate interest in the class and the subject. They look up or dig out what they don’t understand. They often ask interesting questions or make thoughtful comments.
