Trayvon Martin Story - Zimmerman locked up or not !


According to http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2012/03/trayvon-martin-case-timeline-of-events/ it’s still determined rather the man that murder a 17 year old should be locked up or not. Trayvon Martin is a 17-year-old boy that lives in Florida; he was recently killed last month. According to the perpetrator (George Zimmerman) who is the neighborhood street watcher was following Trayvon because he says he looked suspicious. Trayvon's girlfriend says that trayvon was on the phone with her the whole time to the store and back and trayvon said " I think someone is following me " and she told him to run somehow he lost Zimmerman then Zimmerman caught back up to him then trayvon asked the perpetrator why are you following me? But Zimmerman says that Trayvon attacked him by punching he in the face so he shot him for self-defense. Zimmerman however us not locked up because police says they have to do more investigation .I don’t believe Zimmerman story at all I mean even if it was self defense I still believe that he should be locked up, everybody wears hoodies I mean jest because someone have on a hoodie don’t mean they are up to something. Everyone is very mad at this situation because they feel as though if it were a color person shooting somebody for SELF DEFENSE they would be liked up no investagation needed. Everyone is showing support to trayvon and his family by posting videos and pictures on face book, Twitter etc and now wearing hoodies and purchasing an ice tea Arizona and a bag of skittles. I feel very bad and im going to support him to because this unbelievable he was too young for his life to end so short, I think that man need to be locked up for this murder ASAP!!!

Parent abuse 6 year old child


There as been a tragic breaking news March 21, 2012 6 year old Khalil wimes recently died. 6-year-old wimes parents rushed him to Children’s hospital on Monday; they said that he feels out of a tub as he was getting out. Police did more investigation and they found lots of old and new bruises on the little boy. They also weighed him and wimes was only 28 pounds as the doctors weighed him, police thinks that the two parents didn’t feed the 6year old because threes no reason he should only way 20 something pounds. Come to find out the two parents as other children that been taken away from them years ago due to the mother being on drugs, 6year khalil was tooling away from them once before they just received him back 2months before his death. People on their block say they never seem the little boy before outside of the house; they always kept him in the house. I think this story is horrible because I don’t understand how mothers give birth to their child and just not take care of them and abuse them. Yes I think children need discipline but not to the point where children get very bad bruise and have to get rushed to the hospital. The two parents is getting put to jail for a while they didn’t say but I think that they should do 10-12 years because I don’t think that’s right for them to do that to the children its just not right I think since that 6 year old been through allot of trouble then they parents should go through it.

Most Births Outside Of Marriage !


The article “For Women Under 30, Most Births Occur Outside Marriage” by JASON DePARLE and SABRINA TAVERNISE is about births that’s happening outside of marriages. Half of American women give birth without being married. according to the article 59 percent in 2009 are married when they have children , and two-thirds of children in the United States are born to have mothers under 30 . Researchers have consistently found that children born outside marriage face elevated risks of falling into proverty, failing in school or suffering emotional and behavioral promblems. I agree with the researches on that statement because most of times when dads and moms are like separated or not talking its hard for the children to communicate with both parents and some times children would want they parents together , and don’t want to see their parents in anyother relationships . But then again that don’t mean that people have to married to like have a child because some parents are not even together and the dad or mom support and be their for a child . I mean together or not I think every relationship faces promblems . I don’t think a ring will change anything .Also according to the article it says that 73 percent of black children are born outside marriage , compared with 53 percent of latinos and 29 percent of whites , they saying that 73 percent of blacks mostly get pregnant outside of marriages but on the show 16 and pregnant not one persin was married and there is like 70 percent of whites on their and lik 20 percent of blacks.I don’t think this statement is true!

Kony 2012

Kony 2012 is a video recorded by invisible children inc. The film is letting the world know that its time for a change its time for everyone to do something about the violence , the killings , and the beatings of adults ,and children Kony is an man thats located  in uganda that is hurting the kids , making the kids young soldiers and making them kill their parents. There are over 1 million children in uganda thats going through this terrible movement. So the people thats apart of invisible children is working on making kony popular so that the whole world know whats going on and the whole world can try to help  by being apart of makng kony popular. They figure since everyone is on facebook and twitter and other social network people should tweet ,  blog ,  or write post about him and his doings. there are also some celbrities thats trying to be apart of this , singer justin beiber tweeted " Stop kony ' which showing his support to the invisible children program.Me my self i think that this is not right whatkony doing to these young kids because like i wouldnt want my children going through what the kids in uganda is going through. And i would support the invisible children because i feel as though they doing the right thing and i think instead of everyone doing things that makes the world worst should try doing things to make te world better.

Photoshopped or not ?

Their work is intended as a technological step to address concerns about the prevalence of highly idealized and digitally edited images in advertising and fashion magazines. Such images, research suggests, contribute to eating disorders and anxiety about body types, especially among young women.concerns about the prevalence of highly idealized and digitally edited images in advertising and fashion magazines. Such images, research suggests, contribute to eating disorders and anxiety about body types, especially among young women.
A Dr. Farid and Eric Kee, a Ph.D. student in computer science at Dartmouth, are proposing a software tool for measuring how much fashion and beauty photos have been altered.
I think that this will be a good tool, to be able to see hoe much a person has edited their picture.I don’t really have a problem with people using photoshop. My reason is because if people want to make their pictures look better that’s a good way to do it. But I do think some people are using it to much. Like when they edit it so much it looks like a whole different person.
 In the article Mr. Matlins said, “We’re not trying to demonize Photoshop or prevent creative people from using it. But if a person’s image is drastically altered, there should be a reminder that what you’re seeing is about as true as what you saw in ‘Avatar,’ ”.

Facebook is using you ?


The article facebook is using you is very interesting to me. Before reading this article, this article I never really cared about the things I posted online. However now I know that the things I post online can be used against me.
    In the article, it says that face book makes their money by selling ad space to companies that want to reach is. Then they choose key words or details that we use in relationship status, location, activities, favorite books or employment. According to the article material found online has been used against people battling for child custody or defending them selves in criminal cases. Internal revenue service searches facebook and myspace for evidence of tax evader’s income. Employers even sometime decide weather to hire people based on their online profiles.70% percent of recruiters ad human reroutes professionals in the united states have rejected people based on data found online.
 I don’t think people should look on people stuff if its not about them or for them I feel as though its disrespectful and invading other people privacy, And I don’t think that people should hire people based on what they say online because people can say allot that don’t mean that they that type of person maybe they meant for job maybe they can do the job. So I think people should mind they business and let people have their space!
