Podcasts

Just recently I had to do a podcast for social work 201. I found it to be very intresting. They can be very useful to record positive messsages for an individual who may need help. They can simply load the podcast and hear positive words when a social worker/counselor is not there with them. They are also good to record notes as well. I had fun doing my podcast; however, was very embarrased because I was in a lab with people and it seemed as if I was talking to myself. I thought the assignment was really good and feel that everyone should have some experiene with podcasts. I had a teacher who would often give his lectures on podcasts and require us to listne to them outside of class on days he was not able to attend. Podcasts can have various uses. I feel that eventually, podcasts will be more popular and in use by more and more individuals.

Poverty and My thoughts on Blackmond Road

Poverty is an ongoing issue that is most likely to progress due to the current economic state of the United States. Blackmond road which is not far from Winthrop University is one area in society that suffers from extreme poverty. The road is jsut outside city limits of Rock Hill but is considered a part of York County. However neither of the two will do anything to help this area because they claim that is is the others responsibility. I feel that York County s hould help this area. It is technically a part of york county despite that it is just outside city limits of Rock Hill. But I also feel that Rock Hill should help some what by offerign more donations. It is a shame to see this are in our society be finanically oppresed but unfortunately they are. I hope that one of the two either York County or Rock Hill will stop being cheap and eventually step up to shape Black Road Community.

recent plans for this community: it is a step up
