R.I.P Whitney Houston

As we all know February 11th, 2012 America lost one of the greatest voices of all time. There hasn't been a clear understanding  about how she died, the only thing about her death we do know is that she was found in a bathtub lifeless in a beverly hills hotel the night of Clive Davis's (her mentor) party and the night before the Grammy's. People who saw her that day said she was acting normal and super excited to go to Clive Davis's party and went to her hotel room to freshen up. There has been rumors that she was a bit tipsy but not by reliable sources. Days before whitney passed away she was seen with blood stains on the back of her leg and cuts on her wrist. She was also allegedly clashing with a woman over her boyfriend ray j.

there's has been a lot of rumors since the singer died about her family, what she was doing, who she was, doing it to, where she was, just all kinds of dumb rumors. there has even been rumors about her daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown, and how she was out of control ever since her mom died there has even been talk about how she left her mothers funeral early and was later found in a hotel room smoking cocaine.

I think that most of the rumors are untrue and ridiculous. I think it is heartless and wrong that the media is attacking an 18 year old girl who just lost her mother. It is sad that she cannot even grief in peace.

I'm a Criminal

The article "I'm A Criminal", is a very interesting and opinionated article that really makes you think. When I read the article I thought that the author had a very good point, when she said that just because you don't get caught doing a crime doesn't mean your not a criminal. I believe that also, I think that people often believe that if they were not placed in jail their not a criminal which is not the case. The definition of criminal is a person who has committed a crime, which means everyone who commits a crime is a criminal, not  just a person who is placed in jail.

The author also made another point in the article saying that she thinks that prisoners are treated as second class citizens, and she does not agree with it. The article states that once people are labeled as felons they are ushered into a parallel social universe, they can be denied the write to vote, automatically excluded from juries and legally discriminated against in when it comes to getting jobs. Alexander also states that this is a form of discrimination, which was supposedly.

I agree with Alexander for the most part, when she talks about what a criminal actually is. I think that more people should read this article because the reality of it is so many people judge 'criminals' when they are criminals their selves.

In China, Human Costs Are Built Into an Ipad

This article is about the risk and trouble it takes to work in a Apple factory. The article talks about the many occasions were something in an Apple factory went terribly wrong, like the time when there was an explosion in building A5 last May, there was a eruption of fire. The eruption killed two people immediately and others were hurt. One man Lai Xiaodong, a 22 year old who moved to Chingdu(in southwest Asia) to be a worker for Apple, Lai's features were had been smeared by the blast, scrubbed by heat and violence until a mat of red and black had replaced his mouth and nose.

The Apple factory is located in China, I think because they can get away with having it there. Because the factory is so dangerous they couldn't have it in the USA because of the risk and for financial reasons.

This article tells how much injuries that apple staff go through just to make these Ipads, the article tells a lot of tragedies that happened in some of the factories. Personally I like apple products I think there really nice, and a great LUXURY however I don't think that they are worth the harm.

I think that f most of America had read this article Apple would lose a lot of money lose their reputation of being one of the best factories.
