    In the writing City Teacher, a story by a writer named How Far We’ve Come talks about the start of special needs schools in the City. This school was the grounds for place 75 special needs schools. This school was not a good school. Students were not taken care of. This was not right. It was wrong. Extra help with talking and moving helped shape what place 75 schools have now. The school is still open and is much better. People care about the students. Some people who work there stand up to fight for rights for special needs people.

    In the “Meet the Centennials” by Gaelle Siourakan, she explores the new generation of millennial youths which she describes as “centennials.” Many centennials, children born after 1997, generation are reliant on technology. She cites that many Centennials come from diver backgrounds and are open to the idea of polyculturalism. They are fierce consumers of information; they value openness, realism, and resilience. One of the challenge that marketers will face when dealing with Centennials is that they do want to be pigeonholed into one demographic. They want more open and honest forms of communications will drive changes that marketers saw similar to millennials.

    Paper money will now be a thing of the past. In certain countries already most people are not using notes anymore. The idea of a no paper world is coming into play. Everything about the way we pay will change. Soon there will be a new set up for buying things on the computer. Today the whole buying system has been about one touch buying and right now the bank gives you your cards but soon we will not need them. Within a couple of years banking will become a stage where third party companies will control it. Companies will be able to change your cards and when you start needing other service like savings they can give it to you. These changes make paper less money as simple as using money.

    Roni Rabin wrote some words about how a big group do not think a gas used on food is bad. People who grow food can still use this gas on their food because our leader and this group allows it, even though the gas slows down kids bodies from growing on time, hurts their brains, and the bad gas is not in food stores. The group and the leader Mr. Pruitt will not look think about removing the gas again until 2022. Many people and groups do not know why the group see that the gas is bad for kids, and still touches our food.
