Dragons' Den First Semester Week 17: Free Choice


Street art has always been a big thing in my being. For me living in Los Angeles is the where street art and graffiti can be found all over the place and to me there’s nothing more beautiful than someone expressing their feeling with art. I know what you thinking, you’re probably thinking that I am all about vandalism and that’s not the case here. To me it’s more about just making art making something meaningful and being able to make your talent known. To also let each person see how beautiful it is and putting it up in public so that everyone can appreciate it as much as they do. Lastly, to make things clearer, I am not into gangs, tagging, or crews or any of those silly things. I am just simply in love with all types of art.

JCCS Academic Language Week 17 - China

Jorge thinks bringing imports from China to the US is a good idea because the IMPORT of goods are from another country which encourages competition. Competition is a basic FUCTION in our economy; it’s what makes our capital system successful. Also, he says by importing these good from China, the manufactures in this country can focus on the EXPORTATION of goods that we are selling and producing. For example cars, computers, cell phones, and other high tech devices. Some might argue that importing them from China supports their regime. History has shown us that excluding these countries from trade hurts us all in the long run.
