Pictures Photoshopped or Not
Recently there has been a lot of talk about the article in the New York Times on celebrities and/or models that look super-skinny in pictures that they take which are put in magazines and advertisements. This article is called " Photoshopped or Not? A Tool to Tell."Dr. Farid and Dr. Eric Kee are students in computer science at Darthmouth.They are working on a way to figure out if pictures famous people take are edited or not. I think that this topic is important because when some celebrities see their pictures they feel offended in a way because people are changing the way they look in pictures that they take. Also i think this because I believe everyone shouldn't be changed in pictures. I believe they should stay the same when they take pictures. I also think that super-skinny people should gain more weight to be the weight they should so they can't be unhealthy.

iPad In China
The article "In China, Human Costs Are Into an iPad" talks about how workers in china are overworked, work in unsafe conditions, and die of constant explosions in Apple factories. Also how a certain factory worker named "Lai Xiaodong" is worked long hours to keep a good job. For example in the article it quotes "Employees work excessive overtime, in some cases seven days a week, and live in crowded dorms." This piece of evidence shows that employees never get enough sleep and wind up going to the hospital because of they jobs they have. I honestly think that these workers need to get a new job and if they don't, Apple need to do something about these problems because it can cause more than 72 people could possibly get injured or die. Many of the people in Apple say that "If Apple is warned, and didn't act, that's reprehensible."says Nicholas Ashford, a former chairman of the National Advisory Committee
on Occupational Safety." Therefore it needs to get taken care of because if it doesn't the people in the world will die faster than they are living.
