What is the main point of this article?
Violation of Employee Rights ( Walmart and target spy on their employees) , abuse of power toward employers.
SUPPORTING DETAILS- true storys which explains with detail the abuse.

week nine


  1. the three changes are the following:

    privacy policies
  • the fear of violating the federal family rights and privacy. the law only applies to educational records, not observationsor or classroom behaviors.
  • Teachers are paying atention to students violent material in writing assignments( share information with the police and parents with out students permision if their is a thread in student behavior).
  • Profeesors are speaking up more for students that worry them.demaning for more mental health services.

In my opinion i agree ,for best SECURITY it is best to LIMIT people PRIVACY because I f people dont realize that what caused the past shooting like columbine and virginia tech was students that were outcast and had suspecious behavior and if they are not given help they would probably keep the chain that in consiquence they end up doing what no one expected.

Many faculty realized that if they dont help these students more tragical events like virg. tec. They are carring more for students and there action are carefully observed.

Week eight


  1. The topic of this article is about violence on campuses.

  2. The main idea of this article is preventing violence, better security on campus,and ways to identify early trouble signs.
  3. make students not to feel socially isolated,try to teach people that using guns is not the best way to solve things, to install more cameras, swipe cards to access buildings.
  4. in my opinion, there is not enough security on campus . for example there are few cameras. and their are no security guard. however nyit does not need a lot security because their are a lot of help for students all over the campus. Clubs are also helpfull so students can socialize and feel comfortable.

Week Seven

The dove self esteem comercial made its perfect point, its message clearly stated human perception of beauty : longated neck, perfect skin , eye brows lifted ,propotion of the shoulder are distorted (decreased in size).
My opinion continue to be the same , the media try to bring women BODY AND FACE IMAGE to PERFECTION.

Week six

The main idea of this article is the potrayal of women in the media.

Women image in television and magazines:

*Actrices become younger,taller,and thinner.

*Air-brushed

Women standard of beauty being imposed on women.

Women and their body parts sell everything from food to cars.

Magazine articles promises if women lose weight they will have perfect marriage, loving children, perfect sex and rewarding carrear.



signal words:

on the one hand, women who are insecure about their images -buy beauty products, new clothes, diet aids.

on the other hand, images of thin women -link to-depression,lossof self esteem, eating dissorders.



5. main reason for barbie doll proportion was to distort women body- perfection of women body as a barbie doll. article says that their is no way a real women built that way would suffer from various diseases.

6.I think that the behavior of human will never change men and women by nature go for the looks dont matter what it is. it will be helpfull if the media can modify women potrayal as perfect to non perfect for example models dont need to be anaraxic to be beautifull. full figured women can also be attractive and sensual. I strongly feel that the media should change some aspects for women. focus more in the beauty of women just not externally but internaly . because without love you cant be happy. every thing becomes just sex. more divorce. pornography.
p.s Im embarased prof. love

week 4

The High Cost of Having Fun
Because of the title I already have the feeling that is a negative opinion that the author wants to transmite to the reader. Personally reading just the title I think that to have fun their is a high cost but the question arise, What is the high cost?...
After reading further of the passage I agree with the author, in fact I feel the same way ,the prices of a ticket are very expensive. People of lower economic status cant afford to see any concerts, sport game, or any kind of distraction. I Personally think that they should really fix this problem . The author had a good point on saying that instead of raising the ticket prices, team owners should raise the fees paid by corporation who sponser stadiums.making use of the money in the hands of big bussiness.



Smokers Right

Although people have the right to smoke at their own homes, in my opinion I think that it should not be allowed. The reason why is that most smokers live or share rooms with another partner or family member,as an example children. It is not ethical to expose children or people who do not want to inhale toxins and may become ill from second hand smoke.

WEEK 5

The evidence presented by the author was based on fact and opinion because he pointed out the study of the researcher drews who gives his conclusion. according to his study he pointed out his fact from his study that he found a difference between the behavior of drunk drivers and those who talk in the phone. drunk=. cell phone user=slow reaction on accident.comparing phone talking and hands free model he said that their is no difference.
his opinion was that "the problem is the conversation" which meant its a distractionto the driver.
the main idea is to convince people that phone talking is worse than driving drunk.
5.signal words:difference between , in additon, while and because.

The ind. backed its position by saying that cell phone dont cause the acciddent people do . some how it is true because they dont have nothing to do weather you make the choice to drive and use the cell at the same time.
