Week 8 Assignment

1. The article main point is that how woman's beauty is being protrayed in media.
2. This article tells that Woman's maginze shows and tells individuals how to lose weight. The article also tells how actors on television are usually skinny because the heavier ones usually recieve negative messages and comments from other individuals.
3. Reseachers generated a computer model, of a woman with barbie doll, this shows that not even one woman can surive being skinny can cause a couple disorders to the body.
4. I think that the way women are being portrayed in the media is not good. My example would that media is showing fake stuff(pills) to lose weight which is not good for you and health wise. Second example would be individuals don't need to look like barbie dolls, if they want to: just excerise 30mins to an hour a day, not eat fast food and drink water and you'll look good. There are other ways to look good by doing something healthy.

Week 5 Assignment!

My reaction to the PSA was that to tell everyone that it is dangerous. Its also didn’t change my mind of texting, it's still dangerous. This is a example for individuals who text while driving. This can cause lots of accidents to people who text and the innocent ones too. Watching this video taught me a lesson, never to text while driving. When an individual dies from a family, the family runs through rough times forgetting. I think this video should be required to be watched by all age’s groups.

Somker's Rights

1. The author's main purpose on this article is that when people smoke other people such as people that dont smoke should not go near them so they wont get there lungs get worse. I totally agree with the author is because smoking should not be allowed in the building, it can cause problems.

2. I disagree with statement saying that U.S. citizens who smoke are not victims of discrimntation because they choose what they want to do, people also know that they can die smoking. For example, my friend smokes a pack at night when she wakes up in the morning, she can't breath really good and she has to go to the doctor every two weeks.
