Trayvon martin

My topic for my blogger is Trayvon Martin. The article on fox news is about a boy named Trayvon Martin who was killed for no reason at all. Trayvon is the most talked about right now in the news. People have had walks to get justice for Trayvon Martin downtown. The police are not arresting Trayvon's killer and the parents are outraged and so are people. Heres his story, Trayvon was walking home from the store he had bought a bag of skittles and a arizona. Well While he was on his way home a man followed him and killed him. Trayvon's shooting took place on February 26, 2012. A 28 year old man names George Zimmeman killed Trayvon and he is latin american and white. Trayvon had been walking to his dads girlfriends house from 7eleven when he was being followed by Zimmerman. Zimmerman called the police before he shot Martin sying he witnessed some suspicious behavior. Soon after that he fatally shot Martin. Zimmerman said he had reacted in self defense. The police did not arrest Zimmerman because they said on March 12 that they did not find evidence to contradict his assertion of self-defense.The circumstances of Martin's death reached national and President Barack Obama international news. Many  people, from civil rights leaders to public officials including have made public comments or released statements about the shooting. People said he ws just on his way home and the man shot Trayvon just because they were racist. I beleive that racism still occurs today and others don't. But that's only because people don't bring racism to a front police try to sweep it under the rug. I truly believe if this was a white boy and a black man who had killed them that the man would have been arrested. Now that can't happen because Zimmerman is in hiding. And if they do try to arrest him they would have to find him first. All this could of been avoided if justice was served when it had to be.

In an article i read called should high school give out condom by Robin Eisner they were talking about giving condoms to students in high school because the number of new cases of sexually transmitted diseases and unintended pregnancies in this country. i think that is true, they should be available for everyone because students should practice safe sex so accidents don't happen. a condom is a good thing to give to students because if a sexually active student has sex with a condom it is a very better chance of them not getting a sexually transmitted disease and a greater chance of a female not getting pregnant. it is better to be on the safe side because if the student does not have a condom they could get multiple types of diseases, which ruins their life because if they were to ever have sex again they could pass it on, or they could have a child then an inoccent child has a disease and cant do anything about it because there are alot of diseases you can not cure, that would be a shame. also, if you don't use a condom the female could get pregnant and that could ruin their life even without a disease because some people cannot handle a child at all let alone young, but sometimes people make mistakes especially if they don't have nobody telling them right from wrong and sometimes they would have to drop out of school to raise their child.
This week I read an article called For women Under 30, Most Births Occur Outside Marriage in the new york times its about how they think most women under 30 and that's not married are having babies. They never included if it was bad or not their just saying how many women are having babies under 30. They included that among mothers of all ages, a majority- 59 percent in 2009- are married when they have children. But the surge of births outside marriage among young women. They also stated that nearly two-thirds of children in the United States are born to mothers under 30. I don't like this article but then again I don't it. This article isn't really interesting to me just because its not eye catching. Its not a bad article but its not really interesting. They included in the article that college graduates, who overwhelmingly marry before having children. A sociologist at University of Pennsylvania name Frank Furstenberg said "Marriage has become a luxury good". They also said that the shift is affecting children lives. Researchers have consistently found that children born outside marriage face elevated risks of falling into poverty, failing in school or suffering emotional and behavioral problems. i believe some students do and some students just misbehave.

In China, Human Costs Are Built Into an iPad

Basically this article is about how apple don't have safe working conditions.They describe how one man makes a small income and lives in a small bedroom big enough for just one bed and desk wit a computer on it, that he play's his favorite game on. It talks about the dangers that most of the workers at this company can go through and the course of a day. This article makes me thankful that we get paid more here in America and have more safety rules to follow to prevent us from dangerous jobs.i think China needs to upgrade it's economy to higher level so that Chinese workers do not have to do the jobs in the low end of the food chain. These are jobs other rich countries do not want to do. Chinese workers are well educated and hard working. They have a good chance to move into higher income jobs with better working conditions like jobs in US.It is time to use taxation to have American consumers pay the price of their exploitation of Chinese labor.but It is unreasonable to single out Apple, as opposed to any other company which manufacturers products in countries without adequate labor protection laws.In fact, Apple is the only tech company to sign on with the Fair Labor Association, that seeks to establish and monitor international labor standards. I think apple should make their working conditions more safer

photoshopped or not

i read an article called photoshopped or not, this article was about Dr. Farid and Eric Kee proposing a software tool for measuring how much fashion and beauty photos have been altered. by looking at the picture above you see that people photoshop things and picture, sometimes even too much. Overall they just do it to make people look prettier like they're face and they're bodies. but that is not always a good thing because some people look up to stars and models and singers they see on television or on a picture and think they are so pretty, but sometimes they could look just like you. so people should not compare their self to any model or singer or even actor because how they look on television might not be how they look in person.to me i think people use photoshop to look better and boost there ego

Facebook is using you

so basically this blog is about how facebook runs the ads for the targeted subset of its 845 million users. The multiple of information has available for us as users of facebook targeted for marketing. Facebook had made over 3.5 billions of dollars off of ad's last year in revenue. To some facebook is small not large like google they say google makes about ten times more than facebook. It also says people who email people over gmail can be searched over the web. I agree with this there is alot of ads on facebook to make you click them and than you have to fill stuff out for hours. other website do the same thing but facebook is one of the most people who has ads like google ,amazon, twitter, ebay, and clothing store. i wrote this blog to tell people that websites are using you just like facebook.
