Tuesday 11/4/14 Election Day! Your thoughts on electing candidates

This is election day, many of you are not old enough to vote but some of you are.  Share your thoughts today on some of the morals and values that you feel are the most valuable that you would look for in a candidate to vote for.  Maybe it is their stance on abortion or immigration?  Share AT LEAST THREE things that you would look for in voting for a candidate to represent you on any level (local, state, or national).  Make sure to provide a sentence with each of your three to explain why you feel that way.  

FICTITIOUS EXAMPLE: Candidates that like the color blue:  I will only vote for candidates that like the color blue because that is the color of the sky and I like the sky.   

Monday 11/3/14 Case Study (50 Word Minimum)

The Case of the Inadequate Planning

A group of students decide to hold a benefit concert for a local charity, which will need to close its doors if it doesn't receive enough funding .They go through the work of reserving space, inviting members of the President's cabinet, and placing posters around campus and in the community . Many churches are excited about the event and plan on bringing their youth groups to it . The charity is very excited by the concert because it will keep their doors open, the students are excited because they are able to help make a significant difference in the community, and the administration is happy because it's great publicity for the school; everybody wins .

One week before the concert, it is abundantly clear that the students did not make adequate arrangements for lighting, sound systems, or security . Unless more sound and lighting are reserved before the event, the concert will be a disaster and without enough security, the safety of those who attend could be in question . Your repeated and increasingly urgent reminders have gone unanswered because the students think you're just overreacting .

> What would you do?
> At what point would it become necessary to cancel the event?
