Pros of the photo essay, it shows a photo, states some of the same thing as the conventional article, and sates an example of each article. Cons of the photo it don't state everything the article say. General relationship, the photo show an example of the article. For example, article 7 states "The child shall be registered immediately after birth and … have the right … to a name … a nationality … [and] to preserve his or her identity."However, the photo that goes alone with the essay is an purple foot with an baby foot being registered.

Article 30 states that "Children of “ethnic, religious or linguistic minorities … shall not be denied the right to enjoy his or her own culture … religion or … language." The picture shows member's of the Dao ethnic group. The Dao group have religious bags, clothes, kids, and head scarfs. That's very effective, because it shows the kids and family enjoying their culture and not being bothered. However, that picture fits the article perfectly.

sweat shops Dreams

In his the Sweatshop Oppression essay, Rajeev Ravisankar exposes sweatshop labor. Rajeev states "college students wait until black Friday to buy  as much as they can for little as possible." However, Rajeev also states "that means the extensive use for sweat shop labor". Sweatshop labor is a pejorative term for a workplace that has poor, socially unacceptable working conditions. For example, a foreign person cant work, he or she will work at a shop for pennies or cheaper. However, that foreign person works for hours for cheap.

Rajeev states "these workers are forced to work for 70-80 hours per week". His goal is to show society that buying goods for low may save you money, but it increases sweatshops. However, Rajeev got ways in the essay to try to stop it. For example, he states disregard for well-being through sweatshop oppression. Me, personally, I don't think you can prevent it or stop it, People are going to buy cheaper goods regardless. However, if you stop it the people that can't work and going to lose jobs. So stopping it, is going to effect the employees either way.

violent media

Growing up I looked up to spiderman. However, spiderman taught me that stealing,fighting,shooting, and lien were bad. spiderman also taught me doing them bad thing's would lead to more serious consequences then time and a whooping. However, he showed me stealing could take me to jail. For example, at the age of 5 I use to steal money, clothes, and games. I was always put on punishment.

However, one day i was sitting at home watching the new movie superman two. Greg the super villain stole money out the bank and tried to get away. spiderman webbed out a dark ally and web greg and took him to jail. I seen men walking around in orange suits and bars that looked like a dog cage. I asked my mom "what is this place on TV?". She answered "that place right there is what you call jail, women and men go there when they do bad things like steal".

After that day i changed my actions. I stopped stealing, fighting, and being disrespectful. I didn't want to go to jail. spiderman became my role model. He showed me bad guys were bad and doing bad thing would lead to serious consequences. Most violent media has superhero's making the world a better place. Violent media shows more then violent it shows hero's, leaders, and consequences for actions.

I wouldn't say media isn't harmless. However, I wouldn't say it isn't scary and give bad vision. However, kids are going to watch what they want to at the end of the day. You can't really band kids from watching violent media. For example, violent media is everywhere news, halloween, and schools. So how could you stop kids from watching it? when it happens in society.

As a parent you should show your kids what's right and wrong. Don't blame violent media for kids action. Violent media actually have an good impact on kids life. It shows consequences and leaders. It's the parents job to teach their kids whats right and wrong. How would you feel if your parents took your favorite superhero from you? because every superhero media is violent.

Social media have an major impact on lives it also has its pros and cons. Students no longer have to pick up a book and look for questions anymore, because all we have to do is type the question in to Google and it pops up. However that causes less reading and comprehension. In that situation is that better for the society or worst? However social media also help people like getting to destination, finding out what's healthy, keeping you update to the latest new, and also teach you new thing. In this society you can use social media in good ways and use it in bad ways. Some bad ways are sitting at the computer for hours causing back pain, not working out always on social media being lazy, and using the wrong website giving information that causes fraud. By 2028 the whole society is going to be changed by technology. 50% of the world jobs is going to be replaced by technology. That's 50% less people with no jobs. Many products are going to be produced at location. Then that's going to less need for transportation. Less transportation means less truck driver's. Now truck drivers loosing there jobs. Is technology and social media really helping society or really taking over society?

lets argue

I believe people argue to get their point across to some to try to persuade they are right. positive ways to argue are argue your point not the person, use facts, don't be rude stay polite and positive, and don't lie. negative ways to argue are using lies, using false facts, hitting the person for not agreeing, and walk off not listening what the person has to say. an argument is an statement intended to persuade some one you are right. An arguments is not when two people disagree on something that is a contradict. say for example Houston say "I don't like cake" and Phillip say "I like cake" that's not an argument cause that their opinion. An argument has to be debatable. Good ways to argue is give facts, listen to the next person see what they have to say, don't give angry exchange of words, and don't try to fight when the person don't agree everyone not gone agree with you. An argument don't need two people all you need is your self for an argument. Even when you writing a paper you should have the element o the argument, thesis statement, evidence, an opposing argument, and a conclusion. That's how you write an good argument paper. In arguments you not gone be always right and you not going to be always wrong just accept if you right or wrong and move on in life.
