Facebook Can Be Using You

When people post things on facebook advertisements related to the subject can come up and colleges , schools and Jobs can look at your information of facebook if they want to know about you. They can use what you post on the Internet against you. I don’t think what I post online ca be used against me because I don’t post personal things on facebook and when I tweet on twitter its things that will catch people attention. I would post certain things because I don’t want people knowing my business. I also think what I post online cannot be used against me because I don’t start problems with people. They could probably have things to say about me without going online. I am more concerned because I only thought your facebook friends can see what you post but actually people can watch over you. What I write online can affect the views colleges and jobs have on me. If you post pictures doing illegally things online its possible you can get into a lot of trouble and they may not want you. They shouldn’t see people personal info because we need our privacy. It sounds like they are being stalkers towards use. They wouldn’t want people trying to be nosey and see what they do in their spare time. . So people need to be more aware of what they post online because business works or interview people can see it and think bad about you. But I don’t think it really should matter.

Man loses legs on Train tracks in S.J.

Being sent to Cooper University hospital in Camden, New Jersey a 29 years old man was found lying on the train tracks after losing both of his legs. The police officer says he heard the train form for about 30 seconds straight. It happened aroudn11am. He figured that there was something wrong and somebody was on the tracks. 29-year-old John Curson Jr was found lying on the tracks screaming for his life. I think it is very sad that he was found like that because no one was there to help him. It is so bad that he had to lose both of his legs and will be in disability or handicap for the rest of his life. I would never want this to happen to me because I wouldn’t be able to do regular things I would like to do. It’s also good he still alive because his legs could of been bleeding to death to the point were he wouldn’t had enough blood in his body and died. I wonder why he was even on train tracks. How was he even hit by a train? This is sad, that a person would lose two legs worse than one. I do not know what I would do without my legs. I would probably cry all day everyday. I would not be a regular person anymore. It would be good for him because he would get money from the government. For example if someone in a wheelchair the government gives them checks because because employers and society discriminate against them so they can't earn a livable wage.

Im a Criminal & So are you


   Many people have broken the law, and so did people in jail. But regular people don’t think of their selves as criminals because they haven’t been caught. Criminals in jail get discriminated against when they get out of jail. Little things that people do everyday that is breaking the law, people have years in prison for it. I don’t think that it is fair that people gets life in jail for little things they may do. Everyone committed a crime or broke the law before, even if they didn’t know it was breaking the law. The rights of convicts is not fair like they may not be able to vote, or work at certain places or not even buy their own house. They still are citizens of the U.S. Just because they have committed a crime before and did jail time doesn’t mean citizen privileges should be taken away from them. Like if you went to jail at 17years old and got out when you were 20yrs; and the age of 40 or even 50 you still would be banned from doing things according to your record. It is not fair. Some people may even go to jail and when they get out they get treated unfairly, for something they didn’t do. Like on a TV I was watching, these teenage boys got accused of raping a lady and they kept saying they didn’t do it but no one believed them. About 15 years later a man admitted that the teenage boys didn’t do it and it was really him. The people just go by what people say and not by evidence. Honest people get put in jail mistakenly for things they didn’t even do.

Photoshopped or Not? A tool to Tell

In many pictures of celebrities in advertisements and magazines pictures are touched up or photoshopped. It removes wrinkles, blemishes, and pimples, takes off weight and lengthens height. But are they touching up the photo a little too much? Dr.Farid was interested in it after reading photo-labeling proposals. He wants to be able to start using a measuring tool to tell how much a photo has been touched up. I think overly perfect images of women in a magazine and on TV can cause eating disorders; they may see their self in a magazine, online and on TV and see how much smaller they look. They would want to try and stay that size or be the size they look in pictures that are touched up.  I don’t think altered images should be labeled to know how much the picture has been changed because it would mess up the person’s reputation by them being popular about how they look. Its suppose to be done so it looks real and if the tell how its been edited people would get the impression that most people in magazines don’t look how they look in real life. Many people already edit their pictures to look better on a lot of other websites than Photoshop, you’ll never know until you see them in person. I think retouching photos can help a person mentally. It will have you feeling good and boost your self-esteem up because you may think you look bad. In magazines, looks and body size matter. If it didn’t, all kinds of people would be in it and many readers wouldn’t like it. So touching up photos is good and for trying to get that look that everyone wants.

In China, Human Cost Are Built into A iPad

Worker making iPhones and iPads are working hazardously and harsh conditions. A few explosions have happen with there worked in China. The substance that is a poisonous chemical to clean the iPhones screen. In China, people take advantage of what good and hard work they do. The article says,”Employess work excessive overtime, in some cases seven days a week. In addition, live in crowded dorms. Some say they stand so long that their legs swell until they can hardly work”. They also said that the people who supply for the company “improperly disposed of hazardous waste and falsified records”. A couple explosions have happened in different factories working on iPads and iPhones all over China due to the poisonous chemical they use. I do not know why they would continuously still use it. It keeps causing more and more explosions. Since people, working in the company knows the bigger the business the more workers and hard working it is not fair. Physical problems are happening to them like swellings. I wouldn’t want to work in factories like this because they’re getting a lot of work done for lesser then they should earn. It seems like the Apple Company is feigning for money. To me it kind of sounds like there working for free even though there getting paid. Apple Inc makes a lot of money but wont even push there payments up. Being treated like crap and working hard for long days and lesser money isn’t right. They’re not even treating these people fair. If I worked there I would demand for a raise, and if I don’t get it I would quit. This Apple company sell nice devices and behind the work of it is torture.
