For Women under 30, Most Births Occur Outside Marriage
The article Women under 30, Most Births Occur Outside Marriage is about being married when you have a child. mothers of all ages, about 59 percent in 2009 are married when they have children. also, nearly two-thirds of children on the United States are born to mothers under 30. which leads to transforming family and a hint of coming generational change. marriage has become a luxury good said Frank Furstenberg at the universitty of pennsylvania. 73 percent of black children are born outside marriage, comparing with 53 percent of latinos and 29 percent of whites. also, eduction differences are continuing to increase. 92 percent of women that go to college are married, when they get pregnant comparing with 62 percent of women with some post-cesondary schooling and 43 percent of women with high school diploma or less according to child trends. even as many Americans withdraw from marriage, researchers say they expect more from it. so overall this article is to inform people a bout people that are not married and how that leads in to their child behavior and what type of impact that puts on them. i think that people should start to get married because its a better thing to do before you have kids. when you have kids after that, life is sometimes better. if you have a child while not being married life could turn out to be worst. if you have both your parents and they are married, i think kids will feel more comfortable with their life style.

women in texas losing options for health care and abortion fight
The article "Women in Texas Losing Options for Health Care in Abortion Fight" is about how health services are not the best, it talks about a clinic that closed in October along with over a dozen others in the state of texas. the financing for their health was cut by two thirds from the Republican-control Legislature. this act left many low-income women even more less of options, the inconvenience and cost is a problem too. some of the clinics that were not affiliated to close and the ones run by Planned Parenthood said they were motivated by the fight against abortion. also, it is likely another shutdown will happen with the Medicine Women's Health Program. this clinic serves 130,000 women. i think it's a bad thing that the clinics are getting shut down because of those reasons. there are a lot of women, young women at that are getting pregnant and they need the health care that they deserve. this should be somemthing that is changed, its putting a lot of people in a bad situation. clinics should be always open for young women, because if they are not open there are going to be a lot of health problems. health problems would be a major problem. if there is a stop towards these clinics not opening that would be much better. it would be much better because there would be less and less abortion problems in the world for women all ages. i think that the closing of the clinics will get handled in a better way.

photoshopped or not tool
The article "Photoshopped or not, a tool to tell" is about photographers for celebrities also models in the fashion advertisements and magazines. adding digital polish and buffing their pictures. they an change multiple things such as wrinkles, color of brightness, the size of their body pimples and a lot of other things they might want to change about the person. Dr. Farid said he became intrigued by the problem after reading about photo-labeling proposals in europe. 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 bekk altered, a 1-to-5 scale that distinguishes the information from the fantastic. this means that they are trying to see how often people get their pictures edit and all the other things that can be changed. i think that this whole thing about adding polish, buffering the pictures, brightness, the size of people is a good and bad thing. its a good thing because i think its a easier way to get around all the problems, people don't have to worry about trying to loose weight, they can just get their size reduced in their pictures. its a bad thing also because people are not committing to what they want to do. if your a model you should have a model type body. i think it shouldn't be allowed. also, this is something that i think is going to be around a lot longer. i say this because this is something that is useful for a lot of famous people now days, and the people who actually creates this gets paid a lot of money for it.

Im a criminal
in the article Im a criminal and so are you talks about how there are a lot of reasons people go to jail everyday all around the world. so now that they are labeled as a criminal they don't have all their rights, such as to vote. its like your put aside from everything and everybody else. you might not be able to get a job, get access to education and other sorts of things. adding to that it says that everyone is a criminal in their own way. she states that you don't have to look like a criminal to be one. the differences between the people in jail and the people outside of jail is that they didn't get caught doing what they did. and because of that people often think that they didn't do anything wrong. Michelle Alexander says that the color, age, or gender doesn't even matter, but people think it happens in the ghettos mainly. she thinks it should be aware that a lot of people did something that they shouldn't have did or broke they law at some point and time in their life. i think in some situations you shouldn't be punished as much. you should't be know and still have rights just like everybody else thats not a criminal. if you committed a crime such a robbery you should get punished because something like that is not needed. it you get caught driving while you are drunk, them it should not be that you have to a lot of time in jail for something little like that. people do it very often, they just don't get caught doing it.

In china, human costs are built into an ipad
In the article "in china, costs are built into an ipad" it talks about the ipad factories, how they affect peoples lives, and the out come of everything. in the last decade, Apple has become one of the mightiest and most successful companies in the world, in part by mastering global manufacturing. the workers that assemble iphones, ipads, and other devices often labor in harsh conditions. Lai Xiaodong was a worker at the ipad factory in china, where he had got his face blown off. the employees work a lot of overtime, sometimes seven days a week. they live in crowded dorms. while they are working some say that their legs well swell up until they can hardly walk. two years ago 137 workers at a apple store supplier in eastern China were injured from using a poisonous chemical to clean iphones. current and former Apple executives say that the company has made significant strides in improving factories in recent years. i think that Apple factories in china were bad to start off with, because while producing these electronics people often got hurt, and got paid little money and they worked very long hours. i think that before they made these factories they should have more protection for the workers, such as getting chemicals into their body. i think Apple will perform better if more articles come out about the situation, so they can really understand. some of the buyers don't worry about these things. they don't always understand what the workers had to go through to produce these things. and the owners should put more effort into how they run their factories.

cracking teenagers Online Codes
34 year old Dana Boyd is a Senior researcher at Microsoft, An assistant professor at New York University and fellow at Berkman center for internet and society. she is someone that studies the reason its good for children to explore the internet. she thinks that it is okay for children to be on the internet and communicate with other people their age, or with adults that can help them in different situations. In fact, she thinks that children should be on the internet more than they do today. she says its more safer being on the internet then being out in the public. she says that being oline can help you get to know people that you normally wouldnt talk to in public somewhere. she says that parents, teachers, and schools worry about this type of behavior that children around the world has becoming apart of. the worry is that teenagers might post things about their life, depressing poetry and much more. some might worry that their child could be talking to preditors, or could be getting picked on by bullies. she talks mostly about this because she feel as though the primission to roam the internet had been destroyed. she can relate to this because, she had the same issues growing up as a child. at age 16 she questioned her life. she didnt think that she was going to live very long, she believed that she would die at age 21. people she knew died because of multiple reasosn such as suicide. Dana Boyd said that the internet saved her life. she say that getting to know people was a good thing for her. she realized that there were smart people in the world. i think that its a good thing for a child to have a good amount on the internet. children often learn more from online friends, and different web sites. its helps you learn new things that you would have never knew about if you were to have a face to face conversations with someone. i dont think its a dangerious thing, its actually fun and interesting.a child should always learn something new on their own. thats the way they can understand life more, while being on the internet.

misbehaved children
children misbehave for multiple reasons. they misbehave at all ages in their life. if they don't know why their children are acting the way they do, they will have no guidance or ways to handle the situation. children need to feel and understand that they belong in a home or belong to their parents. this could include friends, family members, teachers, that make them think that they have to gain membership or be accepted. even if a child gets some attention they might look at things better and differently. children that don't get enough attention or spend enough time with their parents act up or get in trouble to be noticed. they act up because of the lack of confidence. even raising a kid not so good when their growing up, could stay with them forever which makes then feel as thought they need to act a different way in life towards everyone. some kids model the behavior of their parents. children that do this watch a listen to what their parent do. they think since they are adults, its okay to act that way.kids put their anger and sadness into their actions. i think that the different behavior of children has to be something that they saw before or aware of that type of action. kids that act as if they are not wanted is a behavior that has to do with the parent. i say this because most kids don't like to be home with their parent. getting attention is very important for a child. parents often don't give a lot of attention to their child because their job they have to do. or other children they have to attend to.
