Summary: According to Mary Elizabeth Williams she talkin about how when she went to go buy something is was 2 dollors The heads up had come Thursday via one of the bargain blogs I regularly peruse, the notice that Old Navy was practically giving away camisoles for $2.  Minutes later, the news broke that Amazon was launching a $139 Kindle, well under half its original cost.




Thesis: i think that its a good thing when things are cheap cause they have sertain days when they lower there prices.




Reason 1: is that if i dont have the money for an ideam i can get if for cheap
Example: black friday they lower there prices on there idems and u can get them for good deals.

       The article I read talks about fast food and how young teens are eating fast food alot and its not good for them. Most fast food companies publicly own and sprinkled in to the stocks porfolius of many striving Americans. One of every four hamburgers sold by the good foilks at McDonals. For example is now purchased by inner city consrumer who disproporntionately are young black men.

       It was the poor and thier increasing need for cheap meals consumed twice outside the home that fueled the development of what may well be the most important fast food innovation of the past twenty years. I think the author had some good ideas in the article because he started some trueth about fast food and how most kids are consuming fast food twice a day and thats not good at all.

        I feel like teens shouldn't eat fast food alot because its not healthy and people don't know how much fat sugar and salt is in there food. For example the total caloric content three of the meals has been jacked up from 680 calories to more then 1,340 calories. According to the very generous U.S dietary guidelines , 1,340 calories represent more than half of a teenagers recommended daily caloric consumption and the added calories themselves are poor protien and rich fat and carbohydrate.

On sept.28 police arrested two Rutgers University students, Dharun Ravi and Molly Wei on invasion of privacy charges. According to the police report Ravi activated a webcam in the dorm room the Ravi and 18 year old Tyler Clementi shared on sept. 19. Images of Clementi another streamed live on the internet. Clementi soon found out about it. New Jersey privacy law makes it a crime to transmit or view nude images or sex acts of someone without that person’s approval.

Connectsafety co-director Anne Collier pointed out that this story is not about technology, but inhumanity. But the fact that technology was involved does change the equation somewhat. When it comes down to bullying the internet can encourage what psychologists call disinhibition. For example people can make up a fake email address or facebook or myspace or instant message and bother you intill u can’t take it any more and go crazy because soem one wants to bother you and you didnt even do nothing to them. People can also stalk you and tell you information that you never told no one about. This happens to alot of people every day and that drives them to the edge so that may kill them self.

Such as defamation, impersonation, or just plain mean, cyberbullies can inflict mental anguish that can hurt worse than physical wounds because cyberattack can reach a vast audience and it can haunt the victim forever. It can follow children home from school and possibly for the rest of there lives. And it can affect the different people in different ways. Some people can deflect situations better then others. How they react depends on the host of factors the perpetrator often can’t possiblypredict. At least in a school yard brawl, a bully can see his or her victim suffer. Online bullies may never know how much suffering they’re inflicting intill something really bad happens..
