Review for the Group Research Presentations 5/4
Violence Stemming from Video Games
The interviews questions, answers, and statements from the interview this conducted were a strong part of this presentation in my eyes. Answers and statements from the established professor that was interviewed were highly convincing about the view this group had on this topic. Also I thought this group were appropriately straightforward and direct in getting into the topic. While I didn't time them it seemed like they expressed the opinions of multiple viewpoints in a timely manner. Overall, solid presentation that covered an interesting and relevant topic for people of our age and educational status. By that I mean they covered random acts of violence that occurred in educational institutions.

Hyprocrisy is a Whore by Bryan, Saul, and Carlo
Defining and distinguishing a prostitute from other people that have sex for leisure purposes was useful. Prostitutes typically have incentives for their actions which primarily stem from the need for financial achievements. In my opinion I thought some parts seemed to be a little unclear. For example, one of the members made a statement about a lounge being a place for meeting new people with the similar sexual appetites when in fact professor Fleischer made it clear that it was merely a coffee shop. The presentation also seemed to be more of an opion based persuasive presentation rather than persuasion backed up by concrete research.

Space Exploration by Blake, Daniel
Good presentation that contained strong facts and motives that appealed to the general public and private businesses. The only part that wasn't too convincing was that despite the potential of private businesses bringing down the prices to go into space it is still almost out of reach for the majority of the population to actually afford the travel. Explaining how what appears to be science fiction and only in movies can actually be a reality in the next couple decades. Relating science fiction movies to the future made it beneficial to the observer to comprehend the potential future. Multiple modalities was used appropriately in this scenario.

Truth Behind Diets by Irania, Jessica
The strongest part of the presentation is certainly the portion about the celebrity that was our age that struggled to get the body she wanted. It allowed both younger adults and teenagers to relate with her experience because of the pressure from the media. Other parts that grabbed my attention were the facts that not only women have dietary issues, but men and athletes of both sexes have problems with their diets primarily because of the struggle to keep weight off for performances. I personally didn't recognize any major weaknesses. Overall, I would have given the project an A.

Fast Food in America by Matt, Jose, Brett
This presentation informed me about the health risks from fast food amongst adolescents and adults. History of fast food was presented as well as the strategic location of the fast food restaurants and the advertising that occurs on TV. I thought the greatest strength from this group came from the fact that the everyone in the class is affected by fast food in some way or another. The only weakness that I recall was the way the presenters were informal at times. For example, a few times they would cuss. This doesn't offend me in anyway at all, however, I just thought that this made them lose a little bit of credibility. Other than that I thought this presentation left a positive impression on the class because of the proposed solutions to the problems they presented.

NCAA Athletes
This group addressed the amount of pay athletes would make if colleges were to start paying them. They also revealed the imbalance of money distributed to Division I colleges. The amount of time and effort that athletes input towards their devoted sport of choice is proportional to amount of scholarship money granted to the athletes according the presenters. Strengths from this group's presentation include the information about the absurdity in some of the NCAA rules. For example, one rule that enlightened the class about was that these massive football players are only allowed a bagel, two tangerines, a pack of nuts, and a pack of cream cheese. Weaknesses that I noted from this group were that some of their slides had too much content and was unappealing to myself as an observer. Other than that I thought it was a solid presentation with content that all of the observers as Sac State students could relate to in some way or another.
