Facebook Is Using You

Do you like using social networking to interact with others? Do you use facebook? Do you like having free social networks? Well that’s false facebook is not fee, in fact you are giving it its profit by just signing in each day. In the Article "Facebook Is Using You" the author tells of how facebook makes money off of every one of its users.

         Facebook makes 3.2 billion dollars in revenues last year alone. Facebook gets pays from advertisement that shows up on the side of your facebook page. The facebook company sells your personal information to other corporations in order to get paid money to continue providing its services to you.

         I think that what facebook is doing is not right because one of those companies that is sold your personal information could have a psycho employee who stalk and kill people. Also I don’t like what the people put on their pages.                                                                                                                                                                                                             

Blog Post #4:North Korean Nuclear Warfare

Is there a nuclear war in progress or not. Well according to a article from CNN.com North Korea may has set up a long range missile on a launch pad. A South Korean Defense Ministry official, who wanted to stay unidentified, confirmed the information. The official also stated the missile was moved to the northeastern part of Dongchang-ri. Dongchang-ri is a village located in North Korea; president Barack Obama visited a university for foreign studies in Pyongyang. While there he spoke with students about him wanting to speak with military officials about the suppose missile. The president wanted to discuss with them about the national security that the North Koreans could breach when launching the missile at another country. If that happen it could possibly start another world war. 

         In my opinion us, the United States should stop North Korea before they create a national incident. The incident could have a huge negative affect on the world. The negative affect could nuclear waste or even the destruction of many countries and or continents. The effect can even accelerate global warming. If that should happen the world, as we know it could come to its end do to gigantic floods.

         Also I think that every country will exhaust their resources and alliances with neighboring countries. In this world the alliances are important to have because interracial bonding is the key to the survival of mankind, as we know it, just as we as individuals meet different types of people in different places.

I Am A Criminal

 Hey you have you ever broke any rules or laws in your lifetime. Imagine one day you woke up to the sound of your front door being busted down by police officers. You are being charge and arrested for a misdemeanor that you didn’t even pay attention to. The publisher of the article is named Michelle Alexander. In the article she describes that everyone has committed a crime at least once. Also she says that just because you haven’t been caught and put in jail yet doesn’t mean that are not a criminal. She mentions how criminal can change their ways after being imprisoned. She says people can really change if given the correct place and time to make amends for their crime and to also change their ways of living. Alexander thinks if we as a nation had a census or ever committing a crime, everyone would check the box for committing one before. Also she thinks that the nation can benefit from it each in its own way.

I think that the article is true about most of the things it describes in it like the fact that many Americans commit crimes every day. One crime I noticed is an increase of public smoking of “weed” and law enforcement not doing anything about it. Also I noticed an increase of stealing products or automobile just in the last 6 months.

Michelle Alexander truly brought out the attention of us noticing  what we do as a part of our everyday lives.

Photo Shopped

Do you get excited when seeing a photograph of your favorite celebrates or athlete. Well you may be disappointed after reading an article titled “Photoshop or Not.” The pictures you see on magazines, articles, books are all digitally altered on a computer by photographers. Sometimes they can demand their photos to not have pimples, fat, embarrassing stains on their clothes. A prime example of this would be a photograph of Beyoncé when she was pregnant, one of her photos changed by this will make her seem as if she isn’t pregnant at all. But that can have a negative effect on people, people try to imitate the look and style their idols. Some people take the “swag” of their idols as a need to perfect their self-imagine to gain attention from the people who they like or are crushing on. People who do this are most likely insane or obsess with their looks.

I think this is all messed up cause people should be happy with the way how they look without adjusting their appearances. I mean that you should just try to be yourself instead of trying to be like other people because if we had a world where everybody looks the same we would all be the same. That would just be boring. It would be boring because you would get confused at who you are talking to or chilling with. For example imagine if you are chilling with twins and one of them left and you started talking about the wrong one and they get offended that’s how the world would be.

In China, Human Costs Are Built Into an IPad

In the article “In China, Human Costs Are Built Into an IPad” Apple factories have bad conditions for workers and they recently had multiple explosions, killing many and hospitalized many more. The factories blew up because of their poor safety conditions. This article talks about one of the workers who died after fighting for his life after an explosion. The Apple Corporation sent the worker’s family a small payment for their lost one’s life. The factories’ workers have to work standing up for 16 hours a day and there legs swell up so bad that they could be amputated. They don't have ventilation to eliminate dangerous materials in the air like aluminum; people walk around with little sparkles on the corner of their eyes and their hair after they have taken a shower.

I think that Apple is really slimly and they are making too much money too much to not take good care of their workers. They people that work for them are stupid for allowing them to pay them so little bit of money to try to take care of their families on.

I think they should just protest or go on strike for better work conditions and better pay. Maybe they would treat the workers differently and better so them would get reported or shut down by a better company.
