Week 4

Are US citizens that smoke discriminated against?

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?

People should not be able to smoke in their own apartments or house. When you smoke you smell and everything around you will smell. If you smoke in your house you will be smoking around a pack of day because you dont need to go outside to do it. Everything you own will smell such as clothes, furnitures and you will just reak of it constantly. The paint will also start to fade and if you plan on selling your house or apartment that will be a turnoff for future buyers.

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
