Some general, potential solutions to political corruption.

Interesting info regarding the impact of big money in politics democracyjournal.org/magazine/27/ho…

Kemba Walker would be the 5th player to join the Celtics after averaging at least 25 PPG the previous season, joining Kyrie Irving, Ray Allen, Dominique Wilkins and Bob McAdoo. Walker and UConn defeated Brad Stevens' Butler team in the 2011 National Championship game.

Great concept! Especially in the age of social media, players may feel more pressure to return from injury when they see fans' comments online (Read: Kevin Durant returning to the 2019 NBA Finals where he eventually ruptured his achilles)

Very interesting article about the many different ways that money impacts politics---especially the campaign process. opensecrets.org

@EM203RileyL #em203problems One issue you could look into is where the money comes from that is used in political corruption. It would be interesting to track what I assume is a circle of money flow in and then back out of the system.

@Michael98336785 I like how you included interest rates and inflation in your concept map. Interest rates are getting out of hand and can ruin people's lives as they attempt to get out of debt in the first place. Perhaps we need stricter regulation #EM203Problems

@em203kbattglia I like the suggestions you make in your concept map. Perhaps you could also look into the issue of accessible physical activity. Such as how we can make youth sports more affordable/accessible to those who cannot afford to put their kids in sports. #EM203Problems

@EM203ErinL I like the amount of detail you included in your map. You could possibly look into could the idea of incentivising environmentally-beneficial initiatives, and the benefits and detriments of it. (Ex. The pros & cons for the economy and the environment) #EM203Problems

@em203dornelas I like how you looked at both sides of the argument regarding universal pharmacare. Perhaps you could also look into the economic impacts, such as potential job creation due to increased demand for pharmaceuticals (jobs in pharmacies & in research) #EM203Problems

@SamEm203 You really hit a lot of good points in your concept map. Perhaps you could also look into the rebates that used to be offered in Ontario for purchasing electric vehicles, and the impact they had, as well as the impact of them no longer being available. #EM203Problems

@EM203SGill Perhaps you could look deeper into the lack of accessibility to mental health care in Canada. A lot of mental health therapy isn't covered by public health care and/or OHIP, and many people without other coverage may suffer because of it. #EM203Problems

@EM203PatrickC I really like how you included some possible solutions to the issue(s) you identified within your concept map. A potential solution you could include would be access to free condoms at health centres---something we emphasize in Canada. #EM203Problems

@em203dornelas I can agree with you on that! However, sometimes when I am trying to remember something, I can remember it best by hearing it while engaging in another activity. For example, playing a video game while listening to audio of the words that I need to memorize.

Wow!Just completed the multitasking experiment, when I turned off my music and actually took the time to focus I was able to recall 3x more words. Now I know for exam szn maybe to stick with calming background noise instead of listening to Top 100 #week3multitasking #EM203Mueller

@Em203Muhammad I think it's really important to understand that everyone learns in different ways. The internet is such a powerful tool and it allows us to learn anything we want to, and learn at our own pace.

So far I've really enjoyed the unique learning experience that this course provides! In addition, I've also found it very interesting to read everyone else's tweets and wiki posts and see how their experiences relate to mine. #EM203Mueller

@EM203MeganLee I also learned to play sudoku, and I downloaded a sudoku app on my phone so I can start playing it for fun on my own time. Definitely a fun way to exercise your brain.

@EM203SGill I was able to remember more words from list A, as I sometimes tend to retain info more when I have other things going on that help me remember things when I recall what I was doing in the moment. The background noise gives me something to connect to when trying to remember.

I was able to recall 5 more words from list B compared to list A as there was less background noise. I believed this occurred because I always study without listening to music or watching tv and it allows me to focus to the best of my ability. #EM203Mueller #week3multitasking

@SamanthaCoomb13 I definitely feel that learning about the different learning theories has allowed me to recognize how I apply the methods in my own life, and my methods of learning and retaining info are a lot different than some of my peers and friends.

The first 3 weeks have really opened my eyes to the different ways I have been learning my entire life. A simple concept like connectivism is something I have applied in my daily life for years learning online. The internet is a powerful tool when used correctly #EM203Mueller

I remembered 8 words from list A and 7 from list B. I tend to remember things better when I have something going on in the background. I am able to recall the words from my memory as I remember what I was doing when I first encountered the words. #week3multitasking #EM203Mueller
