Are You A Criminal??

                                         
           In a recent article we have been reading in class called "I'm a criminal and so are you". And it had me thinking on if what the details it presented was really true.
           "I'm a criminal and so are you" is a article written by Michelle Alexander. Ms.Alexander has been researching on what we label criminals now-a-days. Michelle starts the article saying she had started to telling people recently that shes a criminal and when someone asks what she has been convicted of she says nothing. So people ask "Well, then why do you say you're a criminal?" she responds "Because I am a criminal, I say, just like you".
          I think that how we treat a criminal that has been convicted is very outrageous if there crime was something minor like robbing a store or holding/selling of drugs.
          Haven't you ever heard the quote "Do the crime, You do the crime". If the person has done the time for his crime and has learned to not make the same mistake twice why should he be seen as just another criminal. Say for a example if a person has been in jail for robbing a store and after he gets out and after a year or two he goes and try to find a nice job at a grocery store or appliances store but cannot attain the job because he has a past as a criminal.
         Really? Come on every one deserves a second chance to show that they are capable of change. 

Finding out if it is Photo Booth or Not

     This new article my teacher told us about goes over the research of Dr Farid and Eric Kee; both Ph.D. students in computer science at Dartmouth. There research tells us how celebrity's and regular people uses Photo Booth and other editing application to make fix the faults in the looks and how they are creating a machine to edit it.
     Me personally I never edited or shaped up any of my pictures. I think that when the people that takes like class pictures and single pictures that you can order, did some kind of editing but me myself personally i never did any editing.
     I wouldn't encourage editing your photo or anyone else because its false advertisement. Say if you was applying for a runway model for a fashion show. And when they bring you into for a try out run they would feel let down. They would want natural beauty not any photo booth corrections.
      A tool to help decide how much a photo has been change would be a good use to me. I would use it on people pictures on Facebook to see how much they altered their looks because i dont misleading things.

      For people that intend to use photo shop to edit their photos make sure that you are skilled in the art of doing it. I know you wouldn't want any "rookie" mistakes like making ur nose bigger or some other trait unorthodox. You would want the best edit you could get.

An "Apple" a day will not keep the doctor away in this situation

      In a recent article I read named "In China, Human Costs Are Built Into an iPad" it was about how a Apple Factory exploded after the air vents being filled with aluminum dust and how they treat there companies workers in japan. They also give you the life story of a worker named Lia Xiodong.
       The Apple factory had exploded on a Friday evening last May.Two people were killed right as the explosion happened and a dozen of over people was hurt. Ambulances filled with injured people and they stated that they saw one face that stood out of all of them with completely messed up face because of the heat from the explosion that was of course Lia Xiaodong.
       If I had to either pick between working with the conditions Apple provides or be a waiter. I would choose a waiter because I can work and be sure to know that I don't have to worry about any hazard dangers killing or hurting me. I couldn't go to work all day knowing that i may die because of the dangerous machinery around me.
      " Just two weeks before the explosion, an advocacy group in Hong Kong Published a report warning of unsafe conditions at the Chengdu plant", Debby Chan Sze Wan of the group said "There was no response". The fact that they didn't respond to the warning sends the feeling that Apple didn't care what happen to anyone.
         I feel very depressed for the families and friends that have suffered a lost in this explosion that killed about 16 to 18 people.
