3.womens magizines are flooded with ways to loose weight looking tight and fit , everything in proportion even tv commercials and other types of advertaisment are targeted directly to women and their physic
4.researchers created a computer baribie doll women. she would die of malnutrition and other types of dieseas. thats not a healthy way to look. i like women that have natural beauty nothing fake be yourself.

That was an intense video makes you never even wanna think about texting or driving. that video should be shown to all audiences young and old because no one should be allowed to text and drive. Its very true what can happen when you decide to do that.

-The ban is of course the best thing to do. I agree with it 100 percent. There have been tons of accidents and lots of traffice due to people thinking there amazing at driving and can add texting on top of it. As far as the age group , its the dumbest thing to even have thought of. All ages should be banned from texting , talking and even looking at the phone while driving.

-The article on cell phone use and it being compared to driving drunk is that, both are very dangerous and can cause acciddents or even death. Texting/talking on the phone is just as close to being drunk behind the wheel of a car, your reaction time is slowed down and your perception and concentration is broke on the road as while as focus or whats around you.

1.) Driving and talking on the phone at the same time is deffinitly not a good idea. Unless you have blue-tooth or a hands free device your exempt. Driving and using the cell phone causes accidents, let alone the traffic. people dont know how to drive for the most part so you give them phones to talk its just ridiculous. The average person just doesnt pa attention while driving and conversating on the phone.

2.) I thnk that the author is basing the article on facts. Thats what all the information feels like as im reading it. Stating that the comination of cellphones and drving is worse than the combination of alcohol and driving.

3.) The main idea of this article is how people talk on the phone and the use of hands free device's such as blue tooth or any other device is used. Also how talking on the phone is a terrible habbit for drivers.

4.) The author stated that drunk drivers are driving aggressivly and fast and out of control. People using the cell phone while driving, are driving sluggish and slow not paying attention to the road. <>

5.) Certain signal words that helped with my conclusion were, :"in addition, he/she said, found"
the studys show that reaction time was delayed by 9% in terms of breaking & 19% in terms of how fast the driver accelerated after breaking. Thus causing a ridiculous amount of traffic on the roads so people can have their conversation in the car via the use of a cell phone.

6.) The response of the cell phone industries is that they provide the publice with blue tooth features, and other hand held devices. Also they feel that educating people about the use a phone is a terrible thing worse then drunk driving. Hopeing to get a point across.

1) The author trys to tell the reader that second-hand smoke is very harmful for people, it is said that it is even more harmful then actually smoking a cigarette. I think that smoking should be banned in certain places such as apartment complexes in order to save the risk of hurting others. As a non-smoker, I feel like it would be the right thing to do, to save people from sicknesses and diseases that come along with smoking and second-hand smoking.

2) No I do not think it is discrimination against smokers because they know how harmful smoking a cigarette is. I think that it is a matter of choice of if you want to smoke or not, although it is very harmful to the person smoking and many around them. There are many public places that I think smoking should be limited from such as school grounds, play grounds, airports, malls, etc. This isn't to offend smokers it is to protect non-smokers from being exposed to smoke. I know that whenever I smell smoke around me I feel very bothered.
