Week 10

1.
The point of the article is that the Employee Rights were not practiced at there jobs
and how companies take advantage of the act, as if it is a dictatorship.

2.
The author used facts and examples to back up his argument and used true stories that relate to the main idea. The author also uses an analogy that compares it to a cold war thriller.

3.
No because i never worked before or observed surveillance ,someone being treated unfair

WEEK 9

1.
a. Faculty are speaking up more about students who worry them.
b. Making changes to privacy policies.
c. To focus more on campus mental illness.

2. I agree with the change being mentioned, I felt that the faculty needs to speak up about students, because the issues that the young adults face is school related, and also I strongly agree bout privacy policies parents should always be in the loop when it comes to there children because they can help them control the outcome.

3.
Many faculty members realized that the campuses are addressing security issues rather then the mental treatment that the kids deserve. The college and university now has their own text messaging system to inform people about if there are any emergency. The whole point should be to avoid the emergency situation on the whole, not just the precautions during the situation.

week 8

1.The article is about, university/ college shootings in the United States.

The main idea of the article is that we need tighter security in college and university campuses.

2. The author use facts and imporant details to support the main idea such as Virginia tech, where 32 people were killed by a student who then killed himself. In 1999 Columbine High School shooting. There were 2 boys that killed 13 people including them selves. Experts have found that, tighter security in the after math of the violence isn’t always effective. “people tend not to take security seriously until an incident happens, and then we find they are hyper vigilant. But, after a few days or months, they go back to their everyday ways.” “ we have a lot of boys and young men who don’t know how to deal with their feelings of rage or depression or being broken-heated or any of the other kinds of normal emotions.” The fact is no matter how secure we make are campuses, shooters will always find a way to get

3.
1) independent/ social isolation
2) low self esteem
3) Doesn't take criticism very well

4. I feel like that was worthwhile because you might never know what the Security can see around the campus.

Week 7

Today in society, i think that natural beauty is distorted by Photoshop because they can hide stuff like if someone has bad acne. We can change the way we see someone with technology. Today natural beauty is not real, because the media is feeding us fake visuals trying to make us believe that we need these beauty products to feel beautiful. Really when we look in the magazines we are not looking at the person behind the picture. The editors are just "fixing" the "mistakes" the model has. They make people think they have something wrong with them but the fact of the matter is no one is as perfect as the media makes them look.

Week 6

1) The main idea of this article is that women in the media and its influence on other women like influence on women's body.

2) To explain the images of women in the media in the economic. The cosmentic and diet product industies are assured of growth and profits and they portray women to increase their profits. They also show that women that are thin and products that can help people lose weight in the magazines, that effects the women who are viewing it, particullary the young women. Women who are insecure about their bodies will most likely buy beauty products, new clothes and be on a diet. So the media can be very influential to alot of women.

3) The researches generated that the computermodel of a women with Barbie-doll porportions, show that people with images of a female beauty are unattainable. Many young girls that plays with barbie dolls may think that they want to be as pretty as barbie. But in actuality, being as pretty as barbie is quite impossible. The young girls still try and cause many health consequences to them.

4) In my opinion, i believe that no matter how your bodies looks like, it should be portayed in the media. The media should show women both thin and big. But i think that kind of depends on which type of media. If it was modeling buisness, then i think that they still show the thin model, and if it's in the Film industry, then they should show different kind of actress, no matter how their bodies look like. I just think that the media should lessen the view on a "perfect female body" becuase its having great influence on the women across today.

WEEK 5

questions of the article

2. I Think the article was based on facts because it didn't show people doing the stuff

3.The main idea of this article was to show that whether it was hands- free or holding the phone it both served as a distraction and people were more likely to be in accidnets.

4.The reactions of drunk drivers were actually better than the reactions of cell phone using drivers, according to Utah Survey.'The Phone users fared even worse than the inebriated,' the Utah team stated.

5 .were, is, like,

6. The use of a hands-free cell phone while driving is just as dangerous as the use of a handheld cell phone because Drews study that they found that, “ we have seen again and again that there is no difference between hands free or holding the phone. “The problem is the conversation”, drew said,People are paying attention to their conversation, and not there driving causing an increase in getting into an accident dramatically.

7.Cell phones don’t cause accidents, people do.

WEEk 4

I feel that u.s citizens who smoke are being discriminated because people should be able to smoke in there own home. And theres a lot of smokers out there so if you banned on smoking at restaurant's and homes. People are going to smoke in there homes weather its a law or not because we can't see what they are doing at thier house. Smoking its self isn't illegal so, people are going to smoke when and where they want because they can. And if their trying to make people from smoking in the homes and restaurant's they should ban smokers because with all these limitations theres no place to smoke so it should just be illegal.

As i was reading i looked for signal words dat i don"t know and highlight it and go back to it later
OR sometimes skip the words that i don"t know

week 4

I think that U.S citizens who smoke are victims of discrimination because they are killing other peolpe by giving them 2nd hand somking.
