WE #5-Communication
We use communication on a daily basis. You can't have a conversation without communication. Communication is both verbal and nonverbal. Verbal is like talking to someone directly. Nonverbal deals with eye contact, body language, etc. For communication to be successful, you have to have a receiver, sender, and a message. I need to improve on my communication skills because I am very quiet, and I don't like talking to people I don't know.

WE #4-Teamwork
Teamwork involves you and your classmates/coworkers working together to complete certain tasks. This has not always been easy for me because I am usually the one stuck doing all the work while the rest of my team slacks off. This is why I am having trouble with this; I like staying to myself. Teamwork involves trust, and in my opinion, I am the only person I can trust. When I am working in a team, my other teammates usually disregard all my ideas. Honestly, I feel teamwork is a distraction. With teamwork, you have to have respect for everyone else in the group along with trust. Teamwork also involves accountability. When it comes to the work, my teammates usually take credit for my work. To solve this problem, I have stopped working in teams and stayed to myself. However, this is definitely something I need to work on.
Social Media Lawsuit
In December 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court heard the oral arguments for the case of Elonis v. United States. This case involved holding someone criminally liable for "threats" made through social media. Elonis made multiple comments on Facebook saying he wanted to kill his wife, law enforcement officials, and students. He was convicted of threatening someone through the internet. This is the first case for the U.S. Supreme Court that questions the limitations of speech through social media.

WE #3-Respect
I have known about respect since I was child. I was taught that you have to give respect to get respect. Respect helps build your character. I am guilty of not saying "Yes ma'm and sir," "No ma'm and sir." I work on this problem yesterday. Because I was raised this way, I do not like people who are disrespectful. You treat people the way you would want to be treated. That's why I try to be nice to everyone no matter what. Respect isn't just about respecting adults. You have to respect your peers as well. Showing respect can take you a long way in the world. Remember, show everyone respect and show them that you were raised the right way!
