Week Eight Assignment

2.)The main idea of this article is how the media views true beauty and how it should be determined in terms of specific standards.
3.)The author mentions that a female's body help the advertising of items from food to cars. Based on today's media women with thin waistlines and young in age are very important factors in determining a females "worth".And on the other hand, women who are heavy weight are likely to receive negative comments.
4.)The reason why researchers generated a computer model of a women being proportional to a barbie doll is to show that women that were skinny had some type of disorder and that most women try to mold their body into a barbie doll.
5.) I personally think that women should not follow the rubric expected by the media on the way to look and the way to dress.I believe that every woman is unique and special in every-way.I also dislike the fact that women go through extensive plastic surgery to make themselves something their not, such as facial implants and body modifications. I think the media should judge women based on their talents and capabilities.Based on the reading I came to the conclusion that women don't make these choices to shape their body because they want to, they do so because its expected by the media as the real definition of beauty.Women should just realize that true beauty is what's inside and not the physical appearance.

Texting While Driving (In Response to the video.)

This video made me realize that texting while driving is a very dangerous to not only teens but old drivers as well.The video demonstrates a great example on how a driver can be distracted.In addition to texting while driving the driver also had passengers that added to the distraction.This video affected my life to the point where I will never text while driving again,the choreography of the video made the scenes seem very realistic.I believe all drivers that have the habit of texting while driving should watch this video and also spread the word.

Texting while Driving.

1.)I believe that texting while driving should be enforced on all drivers despite age.It doesn't really matter how much experience you have with texting or your driving experience, texting while driving is still a hazard.This multi-task is a hazard because the drivers attention is divided unequally or carelessly. I disagree with the age limitation on texting because age doesn't determine how focused and cautious a driver is towards the road.
2.)This article connects to the cell phone use because it describes how drivers divert their attention to hand held devices.This article also describe point of views on why multi-tasking should be banned while driving.

Cell Phones and Driving Safety

The author presented the information based on facts,facts including statistics and sources of magazines stating research.The main idea of this article is to show that talking on the phone while driving is worse than driving while drunk.To prove the main idea the author used other sources of information such as magazines and editorials to show a unbiased report. The author states based on research that drunk drivers were more aggressive than drivers on the phone, and that the drivers talking on the phone were sluggish and tend to react slower than the drunk drivers.There were signal words that helped me locate my answers, there were quotation mark, commas, dashes, and semi-colons. The signal words that helped with my answer were said,while,and found, and in addition to.The dashes helped me the most because it was used to define the words i didn't know,a word such as inebriated.The response of the cellphone industry was that "cell phones don't cause accidents,people do". John Wall's explained that a decline of accidents were are impressive based on the per million miles driven.

Smoker's Rights

The authors main purpose in writing this article is to describe the importance of living in a smoke-free environment mostly in apartment complexes.In addition to residing in a non-smoking environment the author explains the effects of second hand smoke towards others around the area.Effects such as breathing problems and eye irritations as mention in the text. I believe the author is trying to encourage others to move in areas where non-smoking apartments are part of the complex.I personally believe that smoking in apartments or public areas should be banned because of the health concerns towards other people, however separate facilities should be built in case smokers want to smoke in convenience at their apartment.I do believe smokers are victims of discrimination and are looked upon differently but then again smokers should think carefully where they smoke and who they smoke by.
