The main idea of the article was the image of women in the media and the effects on women. A large number of women and young ladies go on at least one diet. There are ten and a half more ads on diets in women magazines then men's magazines. Researches made a study comparing women to the image a Barbe doll would make. Women would suffer from various problems such as back problems, half a liver, and a few centimeters of bowel. this would lead to chronic diarrhea and bowel. I think magazine ads should show all types of women. Show them in all shapes and sizes showing off their high self esteem. This would help women to be themselves and feel happy. When i meet someone I want them to be happy with themselves not strive to be something that the media says they should be. It will lead to a unhealthy and happy life.

Did it change your mind about texting or did you actually change your habit of texting?
This video reminded me of a possible outcome of texting while driving. It's not what might happen to me that makes me upset, it's what could happen to all the people involved. My actions could take my friends lives, other people lives, and even affect my family's life. I wouldn't want to give my family a bad name because of a stupid action i could have avoided. texting while driving could actually be worse then drunk driving.

i agree with the text during driving band. If driving while on the phone is bad, texting is far worse. At least when you drive while talking on the phone you can some what pay attention to the road. Texting while driving you defiantly can't pay attention to what is going on on the road.

Talking on your cell phone while driving is very distracting and can cause accidents however, the statement that talking on a cell phone is worse then drunk driving is circumstantial. It all depends on your views on both crimes. There are more accidents involving driving wile on you phone however there are far less fatalities. The point of the article was to presewed the reader to agree with the statement, "Maneuvering through traffic while talking on the phone increases the likelihood of an accident fivefold and is actually more dangerous than driving drunk, U.S. researchers report". The article provided a lot of facts and examples to make this statement true. Frank Drews, an assistant professor of physiology at the University of Utah, and his fellow team members showed comparisons such as accidents on cell phones are mostly rear enders and dramatically increase traffic. Wile drunk drivers are more aggressive when the accelerate from a stop, cell phone users while driving tend to be more sluggish. The cell phone industry responded "Cell phones don't cause accidents, people do". The athor used in contrast to, while, in addition and in contrast to signal his main idea points. Even though the article proves alot of facts, I still think drinking while driving is worse then talking on your phone while driving.

The article is based on opinion on what is right. The author gives you both sides of the topic, should smokers be able to smoke in their homes. The whole article is based on opinion and I would have to say that it is up to the person who lives in the home. Government can't tell someone they can't smoke in their own home because of the negative effects. People should be able to do what they want in the privacy of their own homes unless it takes other peoples rights away.
