Uncle sam and Aunt samtha

This essay is very interesting one. It reveals how some women care about defending thier country during time of of crisis. Anna, shows feeling of denied rights. She sees as inequity to require only for men to regester for the military draft. She blames congress and supreme court for things like women don't have physical strengths, women prisoners could be sexually assaulted. overall her argument is to make female to be eligible for draft as they represent today in vertually all fields. I like the way she brought the Afghan women because I heard many times how badly the Afghan women suffer.

Under the Influence

Under the Influence was a good essay to read. It showed what alcohol can do to a person when they take it. It talked about how his father drinking affected him and his family. When reading this essay you get to learn when he was ten years old that he failed his father and blamed himself when his dad drank. His father was an alcoholic, for as long as he could remember. He talks about the way his father alcoholism affected him and his family. It had a very strong impact on the author; he himself never drank, and tries to convince other people not to do so, by writing this essay. In the end of the essay the author talks about how he tries stays away from all alcohol, but that he rarely has few drinks and when he does he listens for a turning of a key.

In this essay I had of Uncle Sam and Aunt Samantha, is talking about how female are treated according to defending their country. That shows how the females were treated before the fought for their rights. In the story the lady says that the country only forced the draft for the men ones they turn 18 years old. While the women place to cook for the finer stuff and stayed home. In the story it said if mothers and fathers both will be drafted no one will take care of the child. Caroline an expert on women’s legal rights and a professor at the University of Oregon “Failing to require this of women makes us lesser citizens.” I disagree with this quote, because you not being drafted doesn’t make you lesser.

uncle sam and aunt samantha

The essay talks about how women in the army are not being treated right. It’s not just women but also men aren’t being treated right also. The parents of the daughters are worried of their kids because they’re not physically strong. I agree that women should be in the army and be treated the same as men. Failing to require women makes us less citizen. I choose this quote because women can do the same things as men and they should not be treated wrong.

These two essays had only two common ideas: democracy and end of racism. What we did not discuss was apartheid. I think it is more important, because it is extermination of the whole race. It is very important to see what is happening in other countries, because we do not want someone's culture to die out completely. I liked the quote, "When that moment comes, we shall, together, rejoice in a common victory over racism, apartheid and white minority rule." This totally true, because white are minority over there, but for some reason they have an ability to control over the entire population of South Africa. Maybe that is because they rare more educated , it doesn't give them right to kill someone's culture.
I do not know what English skill will be more important to me in the future, but i know whatever they wrote and made a history out of it, it makes me more educated.
I have no goals for improvement in English in the future.

　This is one of the essay photos that I read today. It is really very interest, it talks about how Vietnam’s rural children life and depend on their life.

They are not getting help from the government according to all sides of human rights. So that when they reach at the age ten and above, the only thing they start doing and thinking is to go the big cities such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City and start working for shining shoes selling postcards or pirated books, or trinkets and then send money back home they earn in those cities. This is one of the quotes that found most interesting which says “Official statistics show that Vietnam has 21,000 street children, the bulk of them in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City”

"famine the world forgot"

the photo essay i read was about famine in our world today. in particular this famine took place in Afghanistan. the camp talked about had over 80,000 people who would travel together. the first picture they were fleeing a drought. they do have a few doners who give them aid, housing, food and water but there are not many. and clearly not enought to end the starvation they are suffering. the food they normally have is plain porage and tea. the have cemeteries where they burry their loved ones who die from starvation. they have schools in these camps as well. they dont have books but it is a way to keep the children occupied. in this photo essay i learned that there is much more than famine in the united states. there is famine everywhere, in places we forget about such as Afghanistan. the thing that was most interesting to me was that they do still have schools. they dont just sit around moping about how they dont have food or shelter. thgey make they best of what they have.

It doesn't have much writing with it, but it talks about the Carnival of Barranquilla and how its a unique festivity that takes place every year in February or March on the Caribbean coast of Columbia. It also tells the main essence of the carnival, the use of many colors, how many days it goes for, and where the places they go for that time of celebration. It also says that the Black African slaves had a great impact to keep these traditions. I thought it was interesting to find this small information, that I didn't know about and I liked the pictures they used to show what they do.

This photo essay was about the march on civil rights in Selma and Montgomery, in 1965. The march from Selma to Montgomery was a significant factor in the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act and marked a new and increased in civil rights reform upon political and economic issues. It is often viewed as one of the most decisive events in the history of the American Civil Rights movement. It was marked by considerable violent resistance, a high degree of emotional intensity for those who participated.

In the pictures you can see the woman working in the mud. Searching everyday for gold and platine dust, while working in the hot tropical humid climate. Dangers surround them such as infectious diesease and guerilla drug trafficing making this place pretty much lost to all humanity. I liked this photo essay because in all the pictures the woman are proud of what they are doing. Even in the hot sun and the insane circumstances they will never give up for what they are trying to do.

uncle sam and aunt samantha

the reading we did on wednesday was called uncle sam and aunt samantha. it told a story about participation in the arms. back then women were not allowed to participate in the arms forces. the main idea was the differences of drafting males and females. both males and females are allowed to serve in the arm but only the males were allowed to be drafted. these people in the story were living in a world where when their sons turn 18 they have to sign a waver to be drafted, and their 18 year old daughters do not. they talked about in this story that "women interfere with esprit de corps, women dont have the physical strength, women prisoners could be secually assaulted, women soldiers would distracte male soldiers from their mission". i think this is wrong because there are women out there that Do have the physically strength and if they want to help us fight for freedom in our country then they should.

Mean Streets

The photo essay "Mean Streets" is about twp young boys from province who came to the big city to earn money as shoe shiners. They work from 8 Am to night to make some money, and once in two weeks go back home to bring the money to their families. The most interesting and rather shocking is that those guys do not have a future. They cannot attend school because poverty is the key to withdrawing. Also the most shocking story about an eighteen year old boy who lost his family when he was nine, and had to work to support his grandparents and two sisters byhimself. Now he works as a mechanic, but still none of those children ever have a future, they do not even hope for the better life. They have what they have.

Uncle Sam and Aunt Samantha

After being directly involved in this topic in the past, I'm intrigued to see a woman author who works for a liberal publication such as  Newsweek express such views on women in the military. I have experienced in the past nothing but liberal views expressing the opposite point, especially concerning war issues. I have no issues with females having combat jobs and feel that our military would not be effected by a change in a selective service law involving both men and women. The main I idea I saw in the essay was the view of double standards involved in the Selective Service Law only requiring men to sign the selective service card between the ages of 18-25 and not women. I think this quote really expresses the author's view. "My son has to register with the Selective Service this year, and if his sister does not when she turns 18, it makes a mockery not only of the standards of this household but of the standards of this nation."Anna Quindlen

Uncle Sam and Aunt Samantha

This essay is somewhat strange to me, because I am not that femeninst as the author. The main idea of this essay is about diffirences of drafting men and women. Men and women are equaly serving in the army, but only men are allowed to be drafted. In my opinion she is too feminist and not right. What she thinks does not mean what the women in the army think. If the law about drafting women came to effect I do not think that women would like it. After all drafting is not a pleasant thing and I do not think even men like. On the other side not only men that are serving in the army could be drafted, but the whole population of men in the U.S. If drafting was possible for women it would mean that also all women across this country could be drafted. I do not think that entire population of women approve it, because not all women are femenist. It is also wrong for a reason of having children. If mother and father both will be drafted no one will take care of their child. 'Caroline Forell, an expert on women's legal rights and a professor at the University of Oregon School of Law, puts it bluntly, 'FAILING TO REQUIRE THIS OF WOMEN MAKES US LESSER CITIZENS'. I do not agree with this quote, because women fought for right to vote and work, but never for right to be drafted.

Uncle Sam and Aunt Samantha

The Sam story was about the participation in the arms. Although women were not allowed to participate in the arms earls, but it’s good to defending on their country. While the women are represented today in virtually all fields, including the armed forces and only every man over 18 is required to register for the military. But the women are not part to sign up for the selective services. Actually this history was talking about the female that goes the arms. I agree that women are going to the war because they learning hard things, but we know that they have not physically to fight like men. Even women are not storing emotionally or physically, and I think the thing that pushes women to gate interesting of the arms.

Uncle Sam and Aunt Samantha

In the essay of uncle Sam and Aunt Samantha, Quindlen is talking about how the women being treated according to defending their country and that shows how the women treated before they fought their rights.The lady in the story says that the country only forced the draft for the men ones they turn 18, while the women placed to cook for the finer stuff and stayed home such as that they didn’t had a country.but finally by the time to meet difficult situations, and you fight until you end what is behind there you will success and that is what I believe. Women fought their rights to vote, join army, work and different things, fortunately they all succeeded and won .

Today women are every where you go, they are fighting in Afghanistan and in page 471 says that “ bomb dropped killed two females in US army”. Also they are in the offices, army, navy, and the government positions.

Quindlen Essay

This essay talks about the un endure treats that women faced and the rights they have according to personnel military of particular time because it is uncertain to consider the women as the main part of the military, although it is required to defend the country both male and female in a time of national emergency. Also she talks about how the women are treated according to their daily life because they lost a lot of opportunity, such as attending school or holding jobs, and the parents also faced series of new challenges that made to keep their daughters instead of sending to the armies because they worried about their daughters. It is really clear responsibility that made equal male and female likely. “It is empirical evidence that considered rationally and the women have physical strength.”

uncle sam and Aunt samantha

the essay talks about how women in the army weren't treated right. i think it is not only the women that are not treated right at this time it is both women and men. because of the economy and other things. mostly the essay talks about the parents of women in the army that are worried about their daugters because us we all know women are not strong physically and emotionally. In my opioin i think women should be in the army but not the same postion as men, women should be working easier jobs because as i said before women and men are not the same. i chose a quote "the legislative diretor of the rightwing group concerned women for Amercia once defended the existing regulations by saying that most women "don't want to be included in the draft."I chose this quote because besides beining draft the women are facing rap and other things and no women want to be in that positon.

Uncle Sam & Aunt Samantha

In the essay Uncle Sam and Aunt Samantha talked about how women were being in the army.Women weren't treated right in the army and most people are aganist women going to the war.In the book, it talked about how men were being drafted to war.Women weren't being drafted. the quot from uncle sam and samantha is "Failing to requires this of women makes us lesser citizens." In terms of this quote I believe that women should be treated equal as all to men in the army because its dream to fight in the army.I think women and men in amry should work and respect each other.

Uncle sam and Aunt Samantha

This story was basically about how females go to the army, most parents have a doubt about their duaghters going to the army. there are alot things that could go wrong while they're in the army. forexample they might get raped, and that will take courage away from them. sometimes they even began to quetions their status, they also lose selfesteem. i think this is something women choose to do, and they are not forced into joining the army. i beleive many women join becuase they want to equal themselves with men. Jimmy carter was basically against war, and his main idea was to think twice before we take an action. he also beleived that the united states was responsible to spread peace around the world not to start a war.

I've often argued with people about this topic. I agree that women should be treated equally to men, this includes getting drafted. I would have no problem signing up for a war that I agreed with, and quite frankly, I don't agree with any of the conflicts going on now. So for me to drafted unwilling while feminists fight for equal rights, enrages me. If they want equal rights they better get the negative along with the positive ones, its not right that women could pick and choose what standards they live by. Equal rights means equal rights.

Jimmy Carter & Aunt Samantha- Rashid Ahmed

Aunt Samantha and Uncle Sam story was about how the status of womes participation in the army. Throughout history, women were not allowed to participate in wars. Even though there is a big gap between men and women joining the army, there has been an increasing amount of women joining the army. The one conroversy surrounding this topic is the fact that women are not subject to sign up for the selective services, while men are forced to sign when they reach 18. Many beleive hat if women want to close the gap and be considered as equals to men, that they hemselves must be subject to the selective services. An intresting state about this was stated as, "One out of every five recriuts in the United States Military is a female." I believe that equality shouldn't be based on capacity and capababilities, even though women aren't forced to sign up for the army, i believe they shouldn't have to because it isn't a standard in which determines equality.
Jimmy Carter was arguably one of our nations peacful presidents. He believed that it was the duty of our naion to spread peace thorughout the world and to preach democarcy to nations that are not stable. He was against war, and believed tha it we are to quick to jump to wars in certain situations. He also states, "The world has had ample evidence tha war bedgets only conditions that bedget further war". This simply means war propels even more war and we should be aware of this before we take such actions.

Uncle Sam and Aunt Samantha

I thought that this story was quite interesting. when it said that "one out of every five recruits in the United States military is a female". i was shocked because i didnt really think that women would even think about going in the military. from my personal view i dont believe that women should go in the military i believe that it is men that need to work because in my religion we dont believe that a women should even go to military, army or navy etc. i thought it was very interesting how women dont even need to sign up, that they would just join in , but i guess thats how they do it here.

Ali Osman

Uncle Sam and Aunt Samantha talked about women's involement in the armed forces. Back in the days there werent many women in the army, but now there are many women who are volunteering to join. Unlike men who have to sighn for the selective services once they turn 18, women arent required by law. Many people see this as unequal treatment. The article said "ONe out of every five recruits in the United States military is a female." Again this show how woman are very active in joining the military, even thou they're not required to do so by law. In my opinion I actually think it is not a good idea that women join the military to fight. They should sign up, but should stay away from combat and do things like nursing and other non combat things.
Citizens of a troubled world(2002) was by president Jimmy Carter and talked about Americas role in the world and how it should promote democracy and peace. Jimmy Carter says "The objective of any who sincerely believe in peace clearly must be to exhaust every honorble recourse in the effort to save the peace. The world has had ample evidence that war begets only conditions that beget further war." Basically Carter is telling people to stand up for peace and promote it, and he is also saying that war isn't the solution, because it only leads to more violence. I liked and agreed with the thinks Jimmy Carter discussed in this essay. He believes we can all work together no matter what race or religion in order to live in a more peacful world.

Good Cop/ Bad Cop Goes Green

the article is basically talking about we as humans dont take responsibility for our actions. there are so many companies that are not trying to make a change based on going green. i think coming up with the new refrigeraters was a food idea becuase that's the least we can do for the world. if we dont take action towards making a change , we will regret when the world fights back and something terribole happens.

Good Cop/Bad Cop Goes Green

it is so easy to protect our plant but we as human being, we always chose not to care about our plant. In this article it explains that our politician know how to protect our plant and to stop the company that want to desrupt the enviroment. The greenpeace have changed some of the companys or stop them from destroing the froest but not completely. so i think i have learned that some compaies are making some progress to keep our plant save. because, the company that want to improve the global warming have seen drastical change in the weather and animals live.

GOOD COP/BAD COP GOES GREEN

I Learned that there are definitely good and not so good ways to get things done in this world. To be honest the only environmental problem that bothers me the most is the waste of  resources used to react to the radical activists of Green Peace. These are the people who have no sense to deal with issues in a professional manor. It's proven that the "good cop" individuals are making a much larger change with their approach than that of the "bad cops." The good cops are making strides with large companies opposed to the bad cops trying to just get noticed and could potentially put someone's life at stake with there little local demonstrations.

Good Cop/ Bad Cop Goesa Green

Actually I learn that trees are the one of the most important thing that we need to keep, if we need to protact the Global warming. Becouse the cutting of trees is part of problem that coasts the Global warming. I was learn that “HGCs aregreen house gases, now responsible for 17% percent of man made global warming but mon track to contribute as much as arbon dioxid”. And some of the companies are responsible the Global warming. And also the bother me is distroying of place that animal life and animal pushes to life on there locations, and that is what we need to stop.

Good Cop/Bad Cop By: Ali Osman

I leaned that our environment is in big trouble. There are companies who are cutting down many forests and messing up the environment. I also leaned there are groups who are standing up to these companies and these companies and demanding them to change their policies. If we want to preserve we have to work together and work hard to keep our planet from global warming. Now companies are changing their policies. For example Pepsi and Coca Cola produce vending machines that don’t release HFCs. HFCs are greenhouse gasses that are responsible for 17% of man maid global warming. Other companies like guitar makers are no longer using 250 year old Sitka Spruces to make their guitars. The problem that bothers me the most is how destroying forests were. We should be careful because we need them for oxygen and survival.

good cop / bad cop

So far what I’ve learned in this essay are some companies. We won’t name- no- names but are the causes of global warming. They don’t care about the environment but only their money is what they worry about. It’s all about the action and not about just from word of mouth. I think the whole point in this essay is being a bad cop, means you have to be strong and powerful to make people change. But it doesn’t say you don’t have to be a good cop either.

Good Cop/Bad Cop Goes Green

In the essay Good Cop/Bad Cop Goes Green,i have learned that climate change has alots of effects in our environment.It would be nice if the amount of pollutions we use decreases so the climate can go to its own temperature.Not alot of people care about the environment because not alot of people know about Global Warming and the people that do,don't seem to care for the animals,plant,and environment.

good/bad cop

This essay talked about how some companies are the cause of global warming. They are so worried about making money that they don’t care that they are harming the environment. The new refrigerator thats talked about in this essay, is one that can keep our food cold but it doesn’t pollute the environment. Being a bad cop in this essay, means that you have to be strong and forceful to get people to make a change. But you also have to be a good cop. The environmental problem that bothers me the most is how people don’t recycle. It is the easiest thing we could possibly do but still 50% of us don’t do it.

what i've learned in this essay is that when you say your going to do something you have to follow it not just from word of mouth. i also learned that greenpeace refrigerators does not pollute the enviroment. since most companies pollute the enviroment they should the ones who should use ecofrienly and recycled products.

In the essay of "Good/Bad Cop Goes Green" I learned that the most environmental danger and problem is the companies who are realeasing pollution in the air and Global warning which is not good for the oxygen that we breath every second in our daily life.
the environmental problem that bothers me the most is that companies are cutting trees for a purpose of business but the not worring that they are causing more animals to life in a empty deserts. also cause as human to life unhealth universe.

Good Cop/Bad Cop Goes Green

I learned that some companies use our environment as a business by cutting trees and making them paper products. I also learned that some activists advocate the environment. Example of this is when they switched Mr. Falk power points to thiers by showing the photos of him sayin its all about "business as usaully" this seems to me fun fight. The enviromental problems that bothers me the most is using too many different transportations because it seem to me that transportations plays big role in the Man-Made climate change.

Good Cop/Bad Cop Goes Green

From reading this essay i have noticed alot of thing that they are trying to change to help prevent Global Warming. One of the things that they have come up with is the refrigerators that are called HFC, they really dont cause that much pollution so its very good for our enviornment. Noticing that there refrigerators are in alot of homes now days, it shows that there are some people that do care about the earth and trying to do things to help our enviornment. With the climate change occuring and people are trying to change things around so they can help it, shows that alot of people do care and there is still a good chance to save the earth for our next generation.

Good Cop/Bad Cop Goes Green

I think that the innovation of "green" refrigerators is a great idea. Seventeen percent of man made global warming is a result of HFC's, the chemical found in normal refrigerators. This is a huge step for our planets future, Greenpeace is in the process of persuading the major "fridge" manufactures to change their products to something that also does not use HFCs. I'm still very pessimistic about the hopeful change of our global environment though.

Good Cop/ Bad Cop

I learned, Sharon Begley talks about how it is necessary for environment to cooperate as to develope the new strategy because it is more confertable according to farmer and they work worth and these companies don't use a chemical because it is only 17 percent of the globle warming . the grocery store use 90 precent the new frigerators to develope the new technology and make famous in the environment . she also talks about the Global climate change of the air bollution of the global recssion of the green house normally better. Many compqanies have developed the greenfreeze technology ,which is very important fo the environment and it woks worth ,such as vending machine coolers of icecream . she also remains the enviroment to use of the local product meterials, instead of other import products.

Good Cop / Bad Cop Goes Green

This article basically talks about how we are all responsible for global warming. i think its our job to fix what we have created in the first place. the world is suffering from these changes, if people dont want to take action towards changing some of the things that we normally do that causes harm to our environment. what the greenpeace has realized is that refrigeraters put out more green house gases than its trucks. so they came up with new coolers that have non HFC, this year some local bussineses and homes have started to use these coolers. there are so many ways we help this environmental emergency.

Good Cop/ Bad Cop Goes Green

In this essay I learned that most companies are the cause of global warming with releasing gases and pollutions into the air. We need people who are hard-core to take action to save our environment. The environmental problem that bother's me the most is that many trees from forests are being cut down to build more cities, more factories, make papers to write on, and so on. By doing so, it takes away homes for the animals that live there and pushes them to another location. It also takes away the carbon dioxide that trees release in the air. Those companies that pollute the air and ruin environments don't really care for what they are causing, because to them it's just doing business and getting paid.

God Cop/Bad Cop Goes Green

Good Cop/ Bad Cop

I learned that there is a new kind of refrigorator keeps food cold and does not pollute the enviroment. The envirommental problem that bothers me the most is the CO2 levels being so high. Global warming is starting to take over and i think that this new refrigorator is a great idea to try and help save the plant step by step. CO2 has slowly rose 2.1 parts per million since the global recession.

Good Cop/Bad Cop Goes Green

In the handout essay by Sharon Begley, that we have read for today. The author talks about how Greenpeace has changed their ways of trying to get people to change their ways concerning pollution. They used to have protests aginst people cutting down trees and polluting the athmosphere, and it was getting very dangerous. So nowadays they have changed their ways. The main thing that the author talks about is how they have invented a new kind of refrigerator, called Greenfreeze. It is a kind of fridge that does not use such chemicals as HFC, and due to that it does not polute the air. Greenpeace has already got major companies to use their technology.

"Good Cop/ Bad Cop Goes Green"

What I learned from this essay was that being a affective enviromental activist means that you must be affective on the buisness side. To be able to get your point across you must be able to play the bad cop, meaning you must be willing to forcefully get your belief across and you must play the good cop, in negotiating deals with your advisary. An enviromental problem that bothers me the most is the destruction of rain forest across the world. Rain forest are not only natures beautiful sanctuary, it is also home to thousands of animals. The rain forest also plays an important part in the well being of the planet, and the destruction of it hurts us in the long run.

In the essay "Good Cop/Bad Cop Goes Green" I have learned about Kleenex company destroying boreal forests to supply their business with the wood. Also how activist groups are different today. In the early years activist groups did not attack companies directly in front of the public eye, but ntroduced better environmentally safe technology to companies. Environmentak problem that bothers me the most is the destroying of the homes of the animals. It doesn't matter whether it is a forest, or the Arctic, animals should not suffer from what we are doing.

The "Good Cop/Bad Cop Goes Green" was about some activist that are concerned about the deforestation of our worlds forest. They call them selves the Greenpeace and they are committed to helping save our world form businesses that cut down virgin forests for company's paper mills. Also in the article they talk about how some businesses have made changes to help the environment by not polluting as much greenhouse gases. These businesses are Wal Mart and guitar companies and more. As for me i think the most environmental problem that bothers me the most is pollution of water. Dumping chemicals into the sea and lakes affects so much more than one would think. Animals and water supplies for us and nature are affected when people just through garbage into the ocean and lakes.

Good Cop/ Bad Cop goes Green

I learned that there are many companies working on going green, and some are accomplishing this goal. This is happening all over the globe people are noticing the differences made throughout the making of many products. The environmental problems that bothers me the most is the globe has held off on trying to fix the climate changes, and now while were is recession people are starting to realize what is happening. Although, the recession has not cause the Carbon Dioxide to drop by much, I think it is possible, and better to make the changes now while everybody is worried about what is going to happen to the earth, if things don't change around anytime soon.

Technology

Technology breeds different tendencies in language etiquette. For example, when leaving a voicemail on an acquaintance’s answering machine it’s important (or helpful) to have what one would want to say planed out. E-mail on the contrary, is not as final as leaving someone a message. Being cautious of what you’re typing is a necessary in order to deliver a clear and concise message. Being aware of one’s literary voice is not an easy task for some people.

Computer Technology

Computer Technoloy makes our lives much easier and better. Computer has a lots of advantages and disadvantages. We can use use email and send massages to people that live far away. We can save things in computer. In stead of using the yellow book,you can use the computer to search things that your searching for. It's makes lives 100% easier and faster.

Technology

i believe that computer makes my life alot easier because it does a lot of things that i may not do and it also helps me in alot of ways. l think that when it comes to computers that it has a big impact in my life that i need. it helps me with my writing and exploring things on the internet. i learn alot of things on my laptop that i have at home and its really easier to carry around. i just think that technology makes our lives alot easier. but from what i have read i thought the email each other was the good way of communication. it could be hard at times because you really cant see the tone of the person and you can take any message the way you want it because you dont see facial expressions.

Really when I was in my country I did not usefully the computer and the only thing I was using are news and also to connected my friends like Msn, Chat and other pages. Actually when I came in America I gat more significant challenges in my life or ever thing surround me was a computer. Even when I need to feel applications like colleges or jobs most of them I was feel in the computer. The computer was doing for us a lot of different thing in our life and computer technology is a part our life’s. And every thing you need you can reach easy. The critically about technology is that in our students habituated to a world of online blogging, we need to surveillance and cognitive effects of that pages.

Technology

The computer makes my life better because when typing a paper i am able to type things out faster than i could hand write them. We have to think critically about technology because it can be a very dangerous tool and also a very helpful one. The idea that email can make you closer to your family members i thought was kinda neat.

Computer technology made my life better because it made life easier for me. We have so much information computer technology, e-mail, web and etc. I can send a e-mail to anyone in the world who has a computer or any type of technology. In this time we live in we really don’t have to talk to anyone face-to-face we can just talk to them over the phone or another device etc. Technology is part of our daily life’s now if we didn’t have it we probably wouldn’t know what to do.

computer technology

Computer technology made better our lives in many ways, it has a lot of information and help every one who is student to find and search information soon, and save everything in the computer as a memory. Also it helps to communicate with my friends who life in different country.
We might need to think critically about technology to improve more about life and increase the ability of education, technology covers many important things we need and separated many countries in the world. some have power other not.
The idea in reading for Wednesday meant most to me is that to copy or downloading for some else’s work is illegal and that can effect both because the stealer can get cough and rest. the producer can’t get any advantage or profit his/her file and that will cause not to improve the technology well.

how technology changes our life!

computer or other technology makes our life better and easier in so many ways. The first is email, it connects people from different place and it saves time. not only that computer help us solve some problems specially when we go to the higher level of math and to save so many dates and etc. Second, from what we read on Wednesday, i thought it was important to know about what the benefit and the harmful thing about technology. Because everything that is beneficial it doesn't mean it doesn't affects us. So i thought reading this made me realize how i can use technology in beneficial way.

Computer technology made my life better because it made things easier. For example if I have to write someone who lives in another country, I can write him an e-mail that will take him couple of minutes to get it. Now days the computers they have new technologies are way advance and it will allow u to talk to the person face to face if you want to talk to them. Technology makes things easy for me because if I need help finding something I can go on the computer and find it. Technology helps many people, for example if the police need help finding a fugitive, they can find him easily. On Wednesday the writing that meant the most to me was the article that talked about computers and how we think. Computers does change how we think because we live in a fast paced life and things change every minute.

Technology

Computer technology takes important role about my writing skills, also it encourages me thinking of different ways because every things harder to me, it makes easy to find, such as looking for the new words and history of cultural things which is really necessary to be aware of issues of the news Worldwide.

Computer technology is leading me in right direction and serve of my personal purpose in certain times, such as to relate to some of my family who live in Africa because I simply send to them pictures, messages and every possible needs that can go with the online, or making chat with them any time I prefer to make converse because it unconvenient to get calling card at all the time and they cost much money that everybody can’t avoid to buy it. Technology took important role of life communications of human choice.

In my opinion about technology every steps we have to take is one of the more significant of higher education, but it does not determine changes, but it encourages us to take certain direction. It is commonly that direction for everybody to be more easily exert of their choice.

The most popular of technology offers to us is page 399 on passage 12, this is really talks about many different contexts for presenting ourselves in online, such as chat room, role-playing games, also the dangerous of the World-with crimes terrorism, drugs and AIDS.

In my personal I agree with this passage and it is common all over the world as it happens all the time.

Technology

Computer technology make my life better in many ways. First, computer easies me to explore and find huge information about any topic I want to learn. It give me a chance to share my ideas with others in a easy and fast ways. I always stay connected with my family and freinds by using my computer. any time I need to research something, I simply go on Google and other research engines. Then I scroll down the pages and find the infortmation I needed.
Secondly, I do all my homeworks, save it in the computer with the name I can remember and open it later. I store all my important informations keep there as long I want.
Third, computers help me to for a safety reasons. Because many police use computer to fight against crimes. Many criminals have been caught by fingerprint and keep thier record in the file.

Computers Konstantin Gorodnov

Computers make life a lot easier. Today our life is really fast paced and computers help us keep up with the flow. Computers help us in many ways, they help us solve crimes and keep the society safe. There are a few drawbacks with all the new technology, it makes more and more people lazy, and it takes up a lot of time.

What We Learned In School

We learned how to skip class and get away with it,
We learned how to be creative with doodling,
We learned all about each other through gossip at the lunch table,
We learned to participate in class by talking to one another,
We learned equations but forgot them,
We learned on occasions rather than daily,
We learned how to conform to dressing standards,

We learned how to open up a beer with your elbow,
We learned to be dear and genuine to elders,
We learned how to be a smoker,
We learned how to play poker,
We learned life’s lessons even though we were stressin’.

Computer Technology

1. Computer technology makes life better because it has a lot of information right there to look at, its quick and easy to get the information.
2. We might need t0 think critically about technology since its an open idea and what it could lead us to in the future. The idea from the reading that meant most to me was that there is no privacy anymore. People post things on the computer for them and maybe a few friends, but other people can look at it and find information about that person that could be harmful to that one person.

technology

Computer technology makes my life better because we can research anything we want at anytime of day. We can communicate with friends where ever they are. We can think critically about technology because sometimes its a distraction from the rest of the world and things that are more important. The idea in the readings from wednesday that meant the most to me was about the satire of the skinny people. It shows that we need to stop judging people around us on their outter appearance.

In the essay “under the influence; actually he talk about that his father who adapt the drink of alcohol. And he always try to stopped what his father drinking, and many times try to tell his father the effected of alcoholism on his life and also all the family. And said “the more he drink, the more obsessed on his maid” its seems that is had very strong impact on his self

shrouded in contradiction

i think the most important idea of the ASAYESH"S narration is all about her life style between as she lived in the US and Iran. she discuss about her wearing veil and covering the body in Iran and complaining about all that for the whole story. In page 319 asked her sister "this isn"t about men and women" because she had a big contravension about why men are not wearing and doing the same thing, so that she never though that Hijab and veil is very imortant and the religion provided it to wear muslim women.

Under the Influence

The essay under the influence is basically about a father who is addicted alcohol. He can't stop drinking acohol. His elder son feels guilty because he felt like it's was his responsible his father's drinking problems.He couldn't stop his father stop drink acohol. His father drinks inside the house and gets mad at everyone and he slams the house doors so hard. His wife and his children are worried about their father. His elder son says "i know full well now that father was alcoholic, a man consumed by disease rather than disppointment". This essay was interesting and i had learned a lot from it.

Shrouded in Contradiction

I think that the essay really brings to light the hypocratic lifestyle of that paticular regon. I was impressed to see an author from that area publish an essay bringing to light how there is still a form of sexism that the west has for the most part prohibited.

The Sanders

This essay was basically about a person who had a father that alcoholic and that effected his life. The story reinforce high alcoholism in the united states and which is challenge alcohol all together. Sanders mostly writes to aboved the dark that he is trying escape. He had his first drive atthe age of twenty two and had only half of glass. He always tried to stay away from parties. seems as if his father left a burden in him that is even scared to see alcohol.

Under tthe Influence

I think the essay was good. The description of his father and their life also good. Of course I do not think that the author has to feel shame, he is too religious about that. I am glad that at least his father got on his feet after all anf for fifteen years did not drink, and worked hard. at the end it is tragic again, but that is life.

Shrouded in Contridiction

This essay seems to have a few main themes but, the one that suck out to me the most was, a muslim women being torn between two lifestyles. She live in Iran and Flordia and knows the ways in both places. When she goes back to Iran to visit she understands why the women wear the veils, although now after living in Flordia she doesn't feel the need to wear the veil even being back home. The way the people think in the east and west are different, she states in paragraph 11. Some know its the way of religion. Some believe its just the way they want to live. The title really states it all though, she remains between both worlds trying to follow life, with both life styles.

From Rashid

Scott Russell Sanders, Under the Influence was about his fathers life long problem with acholisim. He lived in a town were everyone knew each other and was also raised up in a church family. This was the reason why the family hid his problem from everyone for fear of humiliation. Throughout the story Sanders talks about the deep affect that his fathers illness had on the whole family. This story in one aspect reassures the sterotypes that the majority of people have on the US being an alcoholic country. But in a different aspect he also challanges alcoholism and talks about the monsterous effects it has on a an individual and there loved ones. While reading the essay I believe on page 259 paragraph 53 was important when talking about the relationship writing had on his personal life. Sanders says, "I write, therefore, to drag into the light what eats at me- the fear, the guilt, the shame- so that my own children may be spared. Writing was a way out of the dark past Sanders had, and also an inspiration that his children won't lead to the same path.

stereotypes people

from the essay that i read Asa Yesh mostly was describing about how she felt about wearing the hijab. it talks about the difference between west and east culture. For example, in page 319, she says that west , they think of passion as a fever of the body, not the soul. she basically doesn't like to wear the hijab and she is comparing her life style with the west culture. that is what i basically understood from the essay.

response to under the influence:

hey marrissa, . .. .






the important idea of the essay was the alcoholism off scott's father. back then scott didnt know of the word alcoholism in his small town. where he grew up he lives on back roads in the country where there wasnt any alcoholic rehabilitation centers and anything to help people like his father. so him and his family had to live with his secret. scott said when his father was drunk he was a stranger to him. he was angry, scary, and fierce. he was a lunatic and possessed by demons. his mother would tell him to watch him when he went to the gas station so that he just got gas and didnt go in to buy liquor. but he would always find someway to get it. i think this essay showed how serious the disease of alcoholism truely is.

mikelohre@gmail.com

I read and go through all the chapter. it was really family memorial problem about father liquid addiction. the father died heart burst of alcholic problem. it was really too bad the father was gave the family many unfogettable shames,anger. also his son disappointed even to stranger . i have one quot that say, candy is dandy , bu liquor is quicker, and shows how is bad the alcholic.

SHROUDED IN CONTRADICTION

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT IDEAS ABOUT THE WAS ABOUT HER COMPLAINING ABOUT WEARING THE HIJAB. ONE OF HER COMPLAINTS WERE ABOUT MEN DOING EASY STUFF. WHEN SHE CAME TO THE STATES SHE FELT A FREEDON FROM THE VEIL BECAUSE SHE DIDNT WANT TO WEAR IT. I THINK SHE WAS SHAMED ABOUT WEARING THE HIJAB. AND SHE WAS COMPARING THE WESTERNT WORLD TO THE EAST AND SHE SAID THEY THINK FEVER IN THE BODY, NOT THE SOUL.

Under the Influence

Under the Influence was a good essay to read. I think that it shows what alcohol can do to a person. The narrator talked about how his fathers drinking affected him and his family. He talked about when he was a ten that he failed his father and blamed himself when his dad drank. Now that he is older and has children of his own, he spares them of what his dad did. In the end of the story he talks about how he stays away from where all the alcohol is, but that he occasionally has a few drinks and when he does he listens for a turning of a key.

Under the Influence

Konstantin Gorodnov

In the essay "Under the Influence: Paying the Price of My Father's Booze" by Scott Russell Sanders, the author talkes about his fathers drinking problem. His father was an alcoholic, for as long as he can remember. He also talkes about the ways his fathers alcoholism efected him and his family. The author says that he blamed himself for his father drinking so much, he says that it was because he didn't do as good as his father would want him to do. It had a very strong impact on the author, he himself never drinks, and tries to convince other people not to, by writing essays like this one.

Unda de Influence

After reading the essay called "Under the Influence" I have truly understood the effect of alcohol on a family setting when only one person is the one "under the influence". The essay really makes me sad since my father was an alcoholic when i was younger and im very thankful that he never let his addicition get that bad to the point that this man's father did. Hiding bottles everywhere in the house, coming home drunk, feeding the dog booze and then letting it throw up in the baby's shoes. It is very sad what i read but it was a good experience.

shrouded

I thought the most important thing in the readting is how the narrator is complaining about the Hijab--Islamic covering. it seems that she value the Hijab, but hates as well see as a ugly dress. She thinks the veil ruins her beautiful and sexuality. there are some stereotypes line in the essay. Like she says. "In the west , we think of passion as a fever of the body, not the soul. In the east, Sufi poets used earthly passion as metaphor; the beloved they celebrated was God." These lines show that how she separate the different cultures in world.
