CYBERWAR

In the article "CYBERWAR" by Patricia Smith talks about how there is a cyberwar between the United States,China,and Iran. The article starts to point out different reasons why these cyberwars is happening and how these cyberwars could get dangerous.

For the article had stated, "Iran, on the other hand , is trying to cause damage. American intelligence officials beileve Iran, in addition to being responsible for the cyberattack on Saudi Aramco, engineered computer attacks that in September intermittently took offline some of American's largest banks-including Wells Fargo and PNC-and disrupted the online banking websites of Capital One and BB&T. Another from the text that was stated, "China's government, are believed to attack American's computers systems daily. Mostly, they try to steal corporate and pentagon secrets rather than inflict damage." The last example that was stated was that, "In 2009, a sophistcated computer worm known as Stuxnet wiped out a fifth of Iran's centrifuges,which are used to enrich uranium, setting back its ability to make nuclear weapons by several years. Many analysts believe the U.S. and/or Israel were behind that atttack as well."

I think that these cyberwars are very dangerous because what if one of the countries get sick of the United Stated setting virus on there computer systems and decide they is going to send a nulear bomb over then we all is in danger and will get killed. I think these cyberwars are really dangerous because China is trying to get our serects from our computer and what if they do crack our system I think they would have our serects and also like the passwords to our trains and airport route. I think they would mess with the system to where our ports would fly right into eachother and the trains would stop running while people is on them. I also think this cyberwar could get heat to where a war would break out again.

This article remind me of the time when I was on the computer and I saw a false advertising ad talking about of you click the button you would win a iphone and I had clicked the ad. by a accident and all I saw was my computer screen had turned blacked and all these green number start to run across the screen. So I had turned my computer off thinking it was just my computer acting up again and when the next day I went to turn my computer on it was a big virus in there. I cant get on the internet or even play my computer games, I was upset. I had told my grandmom what had happened and she had got a man to fix my laptop to where I didnt have the virus no more but from that day on I didnt click any of the advertising again. Everytime they appear I just X them out.

DRUGS + YOUR BODY

In the article "DRUGS+YOUR BODY" by The Nation Institute on Drug Abuse talks about how people body is amazing organism and how your should take in the wrong subtances like using drugs because you can harm your health. The article also had example how differnt drugs harms your health in different ways.

For example the article had stated, "Your body also has a pretty awesome immuse system that can recognized and destory millions of biological invaders to protect your health. Another example that was stated from the text was, "As strong and resilient as our bodies are, alcohol, tabacco, and other drugs are incredibly powerful in their ability to create illness and disease." The last example that was mention in the text was, "Snorting cocaine can destroy cartilage in the nose, like the septum-the hard tissue that divides the nose into nostrils. This can lead to nose bleed and can decrease the ability to smell."

After reading this article I think that I'm going to take care of my body because first off drugs is an addiction and also because drugs are bad for your body. As I was reading I saw images of how your body is affected from drugs. I saw a image of a man skin that look like he had bugs under his skin and the spots was like a bloody red color and it was developing on his face and it loooked really nasty. I wouldn't want my face to look like that. I would also start encouraging other people to do not to do drugs because I would want them to damage their organs and also to have cancer or anything else thats bad to happen to them.

This article bring up bad memories for me because my grandmother on the mother side had died two years ago from lung cancer. She was a cigarette smoker. She was smoking cigarettes for years and years. Then the year she decided to quit for good she was diagnosed with lung cancer, she had a long and hard battle with it but she died a year after she had it. After her death it showed me that life is to short and also that drugs, and cigarettes isn't worth me dying from or from me have bad skin or breath. So thats why I wouldn't use drugs and I would try to encourge others to try to stay away from drugs.

In the article "Historically Incorrect Canooding" by Stephanie Coontz talks about how the day "Valentine's Day" mean has changed over years. The article also talks about how marriage has change and how different it is.

In the article had stated many different points about marriage and about the true meaning of Valentine's Day. For example the article had stated that, "For thousands of years,love, passion, and marriage were considered a rare and usually undesirable combination. Valentine's Day was originally created by the Roman Catholic Church as a limit on sexual passion." another example that was stated was, "Even though young people centuries later turned the hoilday into an occasion to celebrate romantic love and sexual attraction, few of them expected to marry on the basis of such irrational emotions."

After reading this article I became very glad that the times had change because people was having arranged marriages and they was not happy with the person they was arrange with. It was like they had to settle for less when the deserve much more in a person then what they had. I also found it sad that females didnt have a chance to fall in love with somebody they would love to marriage. I also found it sad because the two people that was paired together didnt want to be in the relationship and they wasnt truly happy and in love with eachother. I glad that in 2013 I would be able to be with the person I love, care for, and that I am passionate about, somebody that I would like to have children with  and that I can myself spenting the rest of my live with. I'm also glad because when I choose somebody to marry I would had a chance to get to know and meet him in person first. I also like the meaning of Valentine's Day in 2013 because it seems so much better and more positive than what it ment back then now.

This article makes me think of my aunt and unce relationship because it seem like they just had settle with eachother like these people had too. They have 3 kids now but they dont seem like they love eachother because when they is in public they isnt passionate with eachother. I never had ever seen them kiss or even tell eachother they loved eachother. But I have seen them fuss over stupid things like whick one of them was going to drive or who was going to stay up with the baby. From being a outsider and looking in at their marriage I choose to not get marriage and if i do i would have better communication with my partner and we would be more loving towards eachother. We would also be better parents towards our children.

                                    “Rare Case Of JUSTICE”

            In the article “Rare Case Of JUSTICE” by Graham Bowley In Kabul talks about how in Afghanistan their women and the teenage are forced to get married early, they are being tortured, they are being traded to settle debts. So many bad things be happening and a teenage girl named Sahar Gul. The article also stated that since the U.S troops been over Afghanistan women had more rights, and freedom to attend school and there was less underage marriages and the women worry if the troops leave they would lose their rights and everything would get worst.

            For example the article had stated, “In 2009, a new law banned violence against women and set new penalties for rape, underage and force marriage, and other abuses. Many more girls are in school.” Another example from the article is, “In areas controlled by the Afghan government and protected by U.S. and NATO forces, those bans have been lifted and women have run for office, taken government posts, and become more involved in Afghan society.” Another example “In such a climate, the fear is that Sahar Gul’s successful rescue may turn out to be an aberration rather that a sign of progress, and that it will not help those women whose suffering is not discovering.” My last example is, “On May 1, the judge declared Sahar Gul’s three in-laws guilty on national television.”

            I think that their government need to really step in and in force their laws for the rights for their women because this article is really sad like there are kids being forced for marriage, and there is little girls who are being prostituded to settle debts. I think this is wrong because they only teens they should be having fun and enjoying life, and going to school but they being force to marry, and be getting treated bad not only from their husbands but by their families too.

            When the U.S. troops leave would they protect the women? Would their women would still have to right to attend school or would they be protituded?
