Week 9

The Three changes are:
1 Faculty are speaking up more about students that are worrying them.
2 Changes are being made to privacy policies an example would be that parents can not be broght into the loop with the student saying it is ok.
3 The last change is that colleges have shed their fear of violating the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.

I do agree with these changes and that they are make colleges seem a lot more safer since the shootings that have happened of the past years.

what the faculty did not realiz was that the law applies only to educationl records, not obervations of classroom behavior, or that ir contains numerous exceptions.

Week 8

The topic of the article is violence on campuses. The main idea is how to prevent this violence and what schools are to about it.

The author talks about some of the main shootings that have happened over the past years, the Virginia tech shooting were 32 people were killed by a student who then took his own life, the Austin University shooting were 16 students were killed the Columbine High School shooting. After studies they have discovered that tighter security is not effective because people are not taking the campus security seriously, and after an incident happens the security gets really active but then just goes back to its normal ways. so no matter how tight the security is the shooters will still find a way to get what they want.
Isolated, low self worth, and someone who does not take criticism well.
The security at NYIT is all right. I do notice a lot of security vehicles around campus, but I never see any security guards. I think the main reason the security guards are good for on campus is mainly giving people parking tickets. But if somehow something went wrong I think it would take along time for the guards to head over to the seen because they will first have to drive there and then get out of there car and run over to the seen.

week 7

The way that i think women shouuld see themselves did not change i think that they should not base what they see on tv on themselves because of the fact that what they see might not be real. That is what they clip shows and i support it for the fact that it is not the outter person that makes a person great it is what is inside that one person that is beuatful

Week Six

The main idea of this article is women and their self image. The reason that women want these skiny bodies is because the media says that they will have the prefect life and that they will get what they want in life with these thin bodies even thought that will not really happen.

The way that i think women should be portrayed in the media is that they should be who they want to be. They should not listen to what other say even thought it might be hard not listen to them women should try as hard as they can not to listen. I also think that with women it is not all about the look althought they are a plus i think that it is more about what they have to offer in their personlity. women should be themsleves and not who the media thinks they should be.

Week Five

After reading the article i thought that it was mostly based on facts the reason for that is the author never really spoke about how they feel. The main idea of this article was to imform the reader that driving when taking on the phone can and may be worse then driving when drunk not saying that you should or anything like that.

Week Four

I do think that people who do somke are victims of discrimination because they used to be able to somke in bars and other public places. Now at some places they have to good more then a 100 ft before they can even light the ciggerate. Which i think is not fair to them just because others do not somke dose not mean that we should send those that do so far away. Yea they should not smoke in the building but what if someone that is friends with a somker but they themself do not smoke and it is their lunch break they then must go all the way out side and so far away from the building just to talk to there friends. So i do think that they are being discriminated but they should still not be able to smoke inside a building and that they should not have to go so far away that they then can not talk to anyone. plus what happened to the somking zone where smoker could go to smoke that was always a good thing nothing bad with bring that back.

Week three

1)The author's purpose of writing this story was to inform the readers about the things that happen when two people that love each other and have a child and that child has two different race parents what some times happens when the child is white and the mother is black. Also how others think that a black man or woman should not even have a child that is white. The author talks about how her dauthger gets treated by other black people just beacuse she has a mother that is black and a father that white and the fact that she looks more like the father no one belives her mother that she is her daughter and how some people think that she knapping her just because she is black.

2)I have had many expericans dealing with diversity in the form of disabilites. I have a learning disabilite when i was younger and when i was in high school i used to get made fun of because of my learning disabilite. People would call me stupid just because i was in the LD program. But that would make me so angry because i was not stupid and there are many famous people that have learning disabilites and no one is calling them stupid and i hate that so many people would just classafi me as stupid dumb or that i will never do anything with my life. but i have proved all those people worng i made it to college and i so many people thought that i would go to Nassua but i am hear at NYIT and i am so happy that i made it.
