photoshopped or not


In the article http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/29/technology/software-to-rate-how-drastically-photos-are-retouched.html it talks about how photos are starting not to look like the real thing. Basically what im saying is they are taking pictures that don’t look so good and fixing it up to make it better. I like the idea of photo-shopped pictures because I use it. I have an app on my android phone that allows me to do that as well. The app that I have is called color touch. Color touch allows you to change everything in your photo. Such as  change your color, crop your photo, change the brightness of the photo to make it look lighter, also u can make the picture look real old, ect. I like to use it because it makes my pictures look like they were took by a photographer.

ipad


IPad working factories have been in terrible working conditions for many people. Such as Lai Xiaodong he got his face blown off because of bad work environments in the article “In China, Human Cost Are Built Into IPad.” The factory had a massive explosion and killed two people and a dozen of people were seriously hurt. In the factory many people had died and there have been many things going wrong.  Such as people not getting enough money and there have been a chemical breakout that killed plenty of people. The government did nothing to prevent this from happening again. Not to mention IPad is the expensive company so people wanted to be just like them. So if they was to make there factory better then the other competion would want to do the same or even make it better. Since they weren’t paying the employs enough money they had to sleep together in a room with no beds. There would be about 3 people sleeping on top of each other. If I was in he factory and this was happing I would have got a new job.

im a criminal

in the story i am a criminal Michellle Alexander says "everyone is a criminal and so is she." i think that she is telling the truth and she is not telling he truth. some people may have broken the law and some people may not have broken the law before. but her main reason for writing the articles was to say "if everyone were forced to acknowledge their own criminality,maybe we, as our nation, would second-guess our apparent zeal for dying full citizenship to those branded felons." Meaning that if people that have been caught doing a crime and got locked up then, got out of jail then they shouldn't be treated like second-class citizens they should be treated like first class. Also if every one is a criminal then everyone should be looked as a second class citizen. If thats the case then i shold be a second class citizen because i stole from a corner store but i didn't get caught.
