Publicatio:
Fox News
Date of the article:
September 6, 2011
Summary:
Children who live with smoker miss people and have smoke inside their home, miss more classes more than children who don't. The study showed that school children aged 6-11 who lived with one smoker have less rate of absences than who live with more. Unfortunately, one of three children do live with at least one smoker in USA.
Issues:
What is the main reason for this problem ?
What is the link between smoking and absences?
Do you think this study is true ? Why or why not ?
My opinion:
I think that they may be absent because they might get illness from the second hand smoke. Besides, parents should be able to smoke out of their home, as a result, they will protect their children from many diseases.

Title of article: Saudi king: Women will be allowed to vote and run for office

Publication: http://www.cnn.com/2011/09/25/world/meast/saudi-women-vote/index.html?hpt=wo_c2

Date of article: 1:06 PM EST, Sun September 25, 2011

Short summary:

This news talked about an important thing which happened in Saudi Arabia. Yesterday, King Abdullah allowed women to enter Shura Council and gave them a chance to vote and enter the Municipal council. But for the woman to drive the car, he doesn’t allow them.

Issues that can I find:

1- Why did King Abdullah allow women to enter these two councils?

2- Why doesn’t King Abdullah allow women to drive?

3- What is the reaction of the Saudi people to these two resolutions?

My opinion:

I think these two resolutions are very important in this time because the woman is one of the important parts in Saudi society. On the other hand, woman can’t drive in this time because infrastructure is not prepared until now to have more cars in the street. Also, in Saudi Arabia the women are protected and preserved from any hatred.

Lung cancer rates among women declined or remained the same in 30 states, but increased slightly in 14 states.

-If this good way to support people to use YouTube, what about people who do not have this service?

-Do you think You tube wants to get more customers by giving them money?

My opinion:

Although people have many ways to get money, the largest numbers of people do not have the same ability to use YouTube website. I think, YouTube created this idea to attract a large number people use it more than others websites such as Google and twitter. Therefore, I believe the goal is not to help people; it is ad to attract customers for YouTube services.

Airport Scurity May Soon Let Shoes Stay on

writer: Hugo Martin. Title: Airport Security May Soon Let Shoes Stay on. Date: September 12, 2011. Web: ariticles.latimes.com.

Summary
Technology improvements in the nation's airport screening machine could soon allow travelers to pass though the checkpoint without removing belts, coats, shoes and other clothing, according to Napolitano. And although airport screeners may soon let you keep your shoes on, they probably still won't let you pack a liter of mouthwash or shampoo in your carry-on bag. Napolitano predicated that the ban on bringing containers of more than 3.4 ounces of liquids into the cabin would probably be around for a while.

Issue

Is there some problem in this program?

Is it easy to change this program?

Do people agree this program?

Opinion
I was surprised when I saw this article at the first time because I usually wait in the line for checking stuff, and it takes a long. I think it will make many people happy include me; on the other hand, I worry it might make some problem. I head someone tried an explosion in the past. Therefore, they have to have more discussion and get evidence that the new machine can check clearly.

The right way to loan to family and friends

http://moneyland.time.com/2011/09/16/the-right-way-to-loan-money-to-family-and-friends/

Date of article: September 16, 2011

Short summary:

This article talks about lending some money to a friend or one of family members and you say yes to help him. The question is “Are there any side effects of lending money to them?”. Always people lose their friendships because of money. Some people decide that they will never lend money for anybody from their friends or family. If somebody ask them they say “sorry, but I never lend money for anybody I know”. Also, it is not always that lending money to a family member or a friend can cause problems. But you should make sure that they need the money urgently and they are willing to pay back before lending them the money. In addition, you have to be smart about: discussing other ways to help him. Moreover, it is recommended that you write everything in paper, and in case of any delays try to discuss the problem together.

My opinion:

I agree with writer about negative effects between money and relationships. For example, my father lent my uncle some money and after that my uncle delayed payment. In that period we did not talk together as family.

Issues that you can find:

Do you think your relationship will be affected by loaning money to your friend?

Did you loan or borrow money from your fried or your family and had problems?

What are the side effects if did not pay back the money?

Title: The New WTC Tower: Tough on Terrorists, Easy on the Eyes.

Publication: Discover Magazine

Date: 9-8- 2011

Summary

The new WTC tower, World Trade Center, who estimated completion is in 2013, has an elevator which is planned to cross 105 floors in one minute. This tower has a unique design. Its design is to be stubbly resistant to explosions by using 4.5 million cubic feet of concrete. This tower will be built in New York.

Issues

1- Will the economy of the US get better after this tower is done?

2- Will companies feel comfortable to make places for themselves in the tower or afraid because of what happened in 2002?

My opinion

I think this tower is going to make a big difference in the US, and maybe many companies are going to be amazed from the tower and it may help the economy of the U.S.A for what happened in the past 10 years.

Title of article:

AIDS Cases Drop Again.

Publication:

The New York Times

Date of article:

September 17, 2011

Short summary

This article talks about the low number of adults with AIDS who were recently diagnosed. He attributed the reason for that number to improved methods of care. Patients were taking treatment, and it is easier to take the treatment. For example, there was a handful of patients who take pills and then this became one capsule containing the three drugs. The report showed that new infections are most common among men under age 30. Furthermore, AIDS programs are aimed at prevention and control for pregnant women and drug users.

Issue that I can find

1- Are there accurate statistics for the number of people infected with AIDS now?

2- Why is there not complete data about this disease?

3- Why are the new infections are most common among men?

My opinion

In my opinion, since the emergence of this disease in 1981 and until now, there has been no real cure for this disease. What is the reason for the lack of a real treatment? Is it the monopoly of the world's major pharmaceutical companies? On the other hand, is it possible the scientists just could not reach a cure for this disease? Note that the rates, the spread of AIDS in Africa and third-world countries is increasing significantly, though; there are programs for prevention and protection. Finally, it requires a great effort by governments and international health bodies such as the World Health Organization to reduce and mitigate the spread of this disease.
