ASSIGNMENT # 9

The three changes mentioned in this article are accelerating a trend of more demand on mental health services. This teachers have noticed that students have violent material in their writing. Another is to change privacy policies. This is done by involving parents with out the permission of the student. The last change mentioned is stigma of mental illness has grown in some cases. Some colleges are helping students who are mentally unstable. I agree to some of the changes mentioned like parents being involved and helping students that are menatlly unstable. To me these two are very important and can have an big effect to the students life and hopefully change their views. Faculty members usually are concerned with the behavior that students have in class an din their writing. They don’t focus on their priviacy or their life and ask them personal questions. The find out that theuyare mentally disturbed by how they act in classand based on their writing.

ASSIGNMENT # 8

The topic of this article is violence on the campus. The main idea of this article is changes in the security are taking place so colleges can avoid big incidents that happened in other colleges. The supporting detail the author uses is examples, facts and statistics and reasons. The author uses facts and statistic to prove to the author the amount of killing, the year, and the location. The locations a re also used as examples of where these incidents happened. They have explained the reasoning to why they are being stricter on security. The three characteristics are socially isolated, have low self- worth, doesn’t take criticism well, and they have intentions in getting someone intercede. I see that the security cars are always around. They are always driving around in the parking lots and the other roads. At least five steps you take a security car passes by. Yes this is worth while because it reduces your fear of being attacked by someone.

ASSIGNMENT # 7

This video did not change my views but gave a stronger support to my views. I thought that peopel actually starved themselves to look like what they do. But actually the whole computer system changes them again. So they still dont look the same. I was shocked by seeing this video, about how they changed the woman. They made her eyes bigger, her lips bigger, and other adjustments so she can look perfect. In real life these models will probably look worse than us because their whole face has been changed. I feel that normal people look better than these people in the media because they dont look like themselves, they look fake. They have a mask on in front of the public.

ASSIGNMENT # 6

The main idea of this article is how the sense of beauty and body image in the media effects many other young women concious and that causes them to be like the others who are underweight and thin.The reason are that in the popular films and also television shows all you see is that the actresses are becoming taller, younger and also very thinner. If women lose some weight they will get well settled with a prefect marriage, have loving children, and very rewarding career.This model was to show the young women that excessive dieting, exercising or lack of nutrition will cause them to be like barbie and not be fit. They will be effected by malnutrition, be underweight, and also anorexic.

I think women should be a positive role models not negative. They should be able to promote nutrion by showing what food is really healthy not by showing food that will help them lose weight. They should be looked upon by how talented they are not by how well they look only. it good to look healthy than to look anorexic. Losing weight is beneficial to people who are weight are to people who are average weight. Women in the media should be an average height, average body not too thin and not too fat. I think women in the media need to be normal.

ASSIGNMENT# 5

The evidence the author provided was based on facts.The main idea of the article was that "somebody who is conversing on a cell phone is exposing him or herself and others to a similiar risk-cell phones actually are a higher risk."They said that the drunk drivers are aggresssive meaning they are very pushy. but the drivers with teh cell phones are slughish meaning they react slowly. Researchers said tehy slow down in braking and speed up after the breaking. Hands-free or handheld are both dangerous because they both distract you. The problem is not that you have one hand holding the phone but the problem is that your state of mind is not present to how you are driving. So you are not alert. Spokesman of the cell phone industry said accidents happen by people because they are not focusing, not by the cell phones.
