1)The main point of this article is how employees rights are not practiced at their jobs.
2)The author used to true stories to support the main idea. These stories are about the "interigation" of Justin Kenward at target and James Lynn a employee of walmart.
3)Yes, personally i have been untreated and i have treated others unfairly at my job. A lot of times people will work 3 to 9 or 10 without getting a break. The only reason for this though is due to the fact we are constantly busy and dont stop. If there is a time slot that is fre than people will get breaks but other wise when you clock in you start and when you clock out you leave., nothing between.

WEEK 9
1) Faculty is speaking up, changes to private policies are being changed, and that colleges are afraid to of violating the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
2)I agree with the methods being changed. Teachers should be speaking up about their students, some teachers become close with students or just can pick up on certain things. Private policy is another issue because privacy means absolutly nothing when it comes to hurting or taking other peoples lives.
3)Faculty members realized, that the law applies only to educational records, not observations of classroom behavior, or that it contains numerous exceptions.

WEEK 8
1)The topic is about college shootings in the us.
2)The main idea is that we need better security at colleges to prevent shootings and dangers to students and faculty.
3)The author talks about some of the worst shootings that have happened recently. The Virginia tech shooting where 32 people were killed by a student who later killed himself, the Austin University shooting where 16 students were killed, and the Columbine High School shooting. The problem with college campus security today is that no one takes them seriously no matter how strict or tough they are.The wprst part is once something happens at a school everything tightens up and just a few months later they are back to the same defense lines as they were originally.
4)Warning signs of a potential student taking violent acts are Isolation, low self worth, and a person who deosnt take criticism well.
5) personally i think the security measures here are terrible. There are a total of 4 maybe 5 cops patrolling around in a car for the entire day. The only time you ever see them get out of their cars is for food, bathroom or to give out parking tickets. My high school security did a better job than nyit is doing in my eyes. If something were to happen by the time security gets there, they have to wait even longer for the police dept to show up, and one they are there the securitys job is to basically direct traffic. From what i have seen are security is like a public mall's security they do nothing and looked at as nothing.

Week 7
my views didnt change on how media changes how people really look. The hole concept on how natural beauty means natural nothing done to them and they are who they are not some dressed up, made up model. they showed you how they can take a person and make her into a entirely different looking person.

Week 6
1)The main idea of this article is to show how media tells women how they should look at themselves and others and what they can get if they look like the media tells them to.
2)The medias reason for the way they show off women is to sell just about any product possible. Products such as beer, cars, diet programs, foods, etc.You cant look at a single magazine today without finding at least one picture of a extremely thin model promoting something. Media also try's to convince women that if they do what they say and look like they portray women to look than they will have a perfect marriage, sex life, loving kids, and a successful rewarding carrer.
3)Researcher's generated a computer simulated a model of a women with barbie doll proportions to show that it is physically impossible to be that thin and look like that. Being unnaturally thin is unhealthy and for you to be even close to it you are hurting yourself by eating or not eating to get there.
4)I think women should be portrayed for who they really are not for what media makes them to be. Its like living behind close door's or living each day as Halloween. People aren't being themselves except for in there own homes and still people hide and act the way they think they are suppossed to. Each day they dress up in fancy clothes trying to impress people, trying to make themselves look good like they will win a prize or something, its just like halloween. It is the same concept you dress up trying to look the scariest or cutest in order to get candy or money. People need to wake up and be who they are dress how they want to and act how they want to stop listening to everyone else as a hippie would argue dont let the man bring you down.

WEEK 5
1)I noticed the the passage will be primarily about cell phone use while driving is worse than driving drunk. I also think this is going to be mostly opinionated.
2)The evidence in this article are facts about how bad cell phone use while driving is.The author gives examples from a driving simulator, quotes the us national highway traffic association and has different percentages on the topic.
3)The main idea of this article is to show how dangerous driving while using a cell phone actually is. It is so bad that there are more accidents and deaths than there are from drunk driving.
4)Drunk drivers are more aggressive while driving and did not get into an accident during the Utah test. Cell phone users on the other hand were more sluggish, reaction time delayed, would brake drastically and than accelerate unnecessarily, and 3 accidents occurred while this experiment was being tested.
5)Is, like, while, in addition were some signal words that helped me find my answers.
6)Hand held cell phones are just as dangerous as a regular cell phone because you are in a conversation and are paying attention to what eachother are saying and not the road and whats actually going on around you.
7)The cell phone industry see's the problem the same way gun company's look at it, cell phones don kill people, people do. They cant tell you how to use your phone just suggest it. People can wait till they are done driving to call people back or pull off and stop to make a phone call but you dont see to many people doing that.

Week 4
Are
US citizens who smoke are discriminated against. If your a smoker than you should feel discriminated against. You are told where you can and can not smoke, even if it is your own house or apartment. You can go out to dinner with some friends and you have a choice smoker or non-smoker section thats basic discrimination right there. Hotels are the same way you can ask for a non-smokers room or a smoker's room. If you wanted to go smoke a cigeratte than you have to go outside of your own home no matter if its just a flight of stairs or 8 flights you have to go all the way down and out of your way to smoke. On the other hand people who smoke are being told where they can and can not smoke for others people safety. Just because you dont smoke doesnt mean you cant get lung cancer from secondhand smoke. This cold also be a really bad attempt to have people stop smoking. If people are to lazy or just always in an enviornment that doesnt allow smoking than they might stop. So are poeple who smoke treated like this for a reason that i do not know?

week 3
I think the author wrote this passage from an emotional point. She feels that having a kid whos interracial is some what of a disadvantae. People make judgements on a persons appearance and with an interracial child you get alot of comments that you shouldnt be getting. Also gets treated diferently on both sides of the field. I personally havent faced anything where diversity was an issue and im not sure what kind of an answer you are looking for
