"I'm a criminal"

In the article "I'm a criminal" the article was mainly discussing how everyone at one point in there life has committed a crime whether big or small. I totally agree with the publisher Michelle Alexander. She says that she thinks that just because you have done a crime and ended up locked up it doesn't mean that they can take your equality away from you. I think that after the person has been incarcerated they most likely learned there lesson. But don't get me wrong , I don't think that if you were locked up for like rape or murder you shouldn't be allowed to take up jobs like a nurse or a daycare because I would not be able to trust anyone that has committed such crimes and have them around people that can't really stand up for themselves. But as I said before I don't think that government should just take there equality away from them. In the article the writer also says that she disagrees with the fact that the government is being unfair about not having incarcerated inmates not having the same equality as people that weren't incarcerated. I think that is totally discriminative because what if the person that was once in jail were not guilty and it was all a setup or what if the person that was once incarcerated was you,would you want the government to discriminate on you. Just something to think about when thinking about the issue.

Photoshopped or Not

The article "Photoshopped or Not? A tool to Tell" was about how many celebrities and models most of the time edit/photoshop their photos and that Dr. Farid and Eric Kee, a Ph.D student are working on a software tool that can measure how much fashion and beauty images have been edited and or altered. Many celebrities try to make themselves a so called perfect model type, with a great figure and most of the time that can encourage many magazine readers to either look like them and or try to lose a ton of weight or get there face done over like the celebrities do like getting a face lift or implants which can ruin the body many times. Also I think that the software is a great use of technology because it can tell you the percentage of how much editing was done in the photo and you will and can discover all of the work that goes into just one frontpage magazine. Maybe the new piece of software will allow magazie readers and the common people to realize that nobody is completely perfect and that we all have flaws some might be more noticeble than others but everyone even celebrities have flaws and the software will allow the common people to see the truth about the real them and not a photoshopped image. So before you destroy your body trying to make the perfect you think back on all the editing that was done to celebrities in order to make them the so call perfect image.

"Ipad"

The article"In China, Human Costs Are Built Into an Ipad" was about how the company Apple has unsafe manufacturing facilities and how because of having too much aluminum dust it caused many hazardous fires which killed and injured many. Even though Apple makers say that they are going to change their code of conduct they never put it into action. Many workers of Apple manufactures in China experienced one of the deadly fires. Aluminum fires in Indiana killed 14 people. Many company owners do not care about the living conditions they put there workers and also they pay them entirely too cheap and the company owners do not care that they pay there workers lower than minimum wage. Theyhave these under paid workers in these deadly working envirnments, with dangerous machinery and many times if not used correctly or the machines get a glitch the workers either die or get severely injurev which is dangerous.
