Week 8

1) It states how women are changing thier bodies to adjust to the influence of the media.
2) The author states that 1 out of every four women have an unhealthy diet to try and lose weight. As well as the magazines only showing what society portays as pretty, being "skinny" therefore they only show skinny models.
3) To prove that there is no such thing as an ideal body and to attain the perfect barbie like body is almost virtually impossible.
4) Nothing can make any women perfect, no one is perfect not one guy or one girl There are always flaws somewhere along the line. If the lady is happy she shouldnt change the way she is to find someone or impress another individual. Somewhere along the line someone will accept her for who she is. There is no such thing as percect beauty. Only how beautiful you think you are.

Response to video

The video impacted me and has changed my decision about texting while driving. It also made me feel a littlediscomfort as i have been hit by a car before and i know what those people went through. I think all drivers old and new should see this video. Older individuals are grasping the technology that is avaliable to them now and are texting while driving as well.

Week 4

I feel like the ban is important. I see to many kids texting while driving and having thier eyes off the road. I think the ban should be everywhere as it would ensure safe driving. I sometimes feel less safe when i see someone looking down at thier phone. I think that everyone shouldnt be allowed to text when drive, no matter what age.

Its in comparision to the last article because both articles are are about driving while distracted or impared in one way or another.

Week 3

- The author was based on fact.

- The main idea of the passage is to make drivers aware about talking on the cell phone.

- The actions were kind of wierd because the drunken drivers were a little more aggressive but the ones on the cell phones were more dangerous because they werent paying attention. Plus there are other distractions around while driving.

- Contrast to, In addition, Between, and while.

- They are pushing more resposibilty on drivers to have no distractions and are trying to make driving more safely.

Assignment week 2

The main purpose of the article was to inform us about how smoking affects society and how its becoming a problem in residential areas such as resturants and apartments. The majority of the people who are being effected / complaining about smoking are senior citizens. There are buildings that are setting smoke free areas and rooms aswell as trying to ban smoking in certain areas completely.

I dont think that U.S citizens who smoke are victims of discrimination. They know the effects of smoking and how people feel about smoking before they light thier cigarette everytime they put it into thier mouth. They know its bad for thier health and so forth, so if people call them disgusting for thier own habits then so be it. They know the consequences of smoking and they smoke anyway.

Learning Style

Im an auditory learner and the lecture classes do really well for me because we can talk outloud. Its an interactive environment and we can discuss the topic with partners and groups, As well as do question and answer sessions.
