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.
