Assigment #1
During this summer vacation, every day I wake up at seven. First, I wash my hands and face, I comb my hair. Second, I make breakfast for my family. The breakfast is scrambled eggs, American coffee, orange juice, and Lebanese sandwiches that my kids love to eat with big appetite. Third, my kids come join me in the kitchen. I enjoy my family greeting me each morning and hugging me. Last but not least, I have to clean up the breakfast dishes and table. Finally the house becomes very noisy because my kids are awake now. That is how I start my day.

technology Kristi
Technology is the most important innovation that mankind invented. It did shape our lives in many ways. Also, I think the advances in technology will have an enormous impact in the way we are going to live. In addition it will bring positive and negative changes inside our homes, schools, and the jobs we go to every day.
First, technology will help us solve a lot of problem at home. For instance, we will have a robot doing all our chores at home. It will clean the dishes, do our laundry, clean the whole house, and cook our food. Even, it will choose the right food for us to eat, calculate our blood pressure, heart beat, and train us as coach to stay in shape and be healthy all time. Also, the robot will call or send invitation to our friends and family and organize our parties. In addition, we will have a car that will take us everywhere by just saying the place we would like to go to.
Second, our children will not go to school every day because they will be home school by a machine. It will teach them all subjects, help them with their homework, and give them their test. This device will make sure that they will succeed and achieve all their potential. Furthermore, it will take them to see far away places using a rocket or submarine. For sure, the kids would love a teacher like that.
Third, the job will be a piece of cake for everybody because the robots will be doing all the tasks for us. They will answer the phone and will make all our appointment. Also, they will balance our checking account and budget. Even they will make the entire manufactured product that we will need and will print our money. Moreover, all our economy will be depending on the advance technology.
However, the advance technology will take away from our lives the human relationships because the robots will be taking over the parents’ job of rising and taking care of their kids’ .Another thing is that the electronic machines will not have emotions that humans have. The worst part is when the robots are mal functioning, everything will stop working properly and we will have a chaos.
In conclusion, technology is very good if we used it the proper way. It will help us get rid of stress and use our time wisely by saving time and having more freedom to do the thing that we wish to do. Like relaxing at home while giving order to our robot to take care of our bills and chores at home. But, we should try to spend quality time with our kids. And we should not forget our family and friends.

Justice Kristy
Everybody has a different point of view about justice. Humans from long time ago established societies and agreed about laws and justice. However, justice is always subject to debate because everybody sees it based on what they believe in. I believe without justice the world would be a jungle where the strongest will eat the weakest; the innocent is the criminal and vise- versa.
In order to be fair people need to use their highly thinking skills and not their emotions. Thus, the people that represent the authority want make mistakes and put innocent people in jail. Unfortunately, most of the time the judges and the juries are not fair in their verdict; they will judge the innocent as guilty and sentence him or her to jail.
In addition, there are many people in prison that did not do any thing wrong; their only mistake is that that they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. They will not let them free only if someone from their relative succeeds in reopening the case again, or when they find the right one who committed the crime. At this point they will free the innocent one from jail. But that poor person lost many years from his/her life behind bars. Is the juridical system fair by locking innocent people behind bars?
Further more, by Damien Fletcher “The thirty years Sean Hodgson spent behind bars looks certain to stand as one of longest miscarriages of justice in British history. But how many more are locked up, hopping and praying their name can be cleared in the same way as Hodgson? He is preparing to walk free next week thanks to new techniques using DNA evidence. His lawyer Julian Young believes is case could open the floodgates for many more convicted of serious crimes.” what this means is that till now there are many innocents in jail waiting for a miracle like this to free them.
in conclusion, justice is a way to be fair and human without it the whole life cycle will collapse and chaos will govern the world. I believe that every body should contribute to help establish a system that is fair and clear. And to accomplish that we should start changing ourselves to be more fair and not selfish or judgmental

Forth of July Kristy
Fourth of July is a special holiday for Americans. It is a day where they celebrate their freedom from the United Kingdom. There are many ways which American people show their Joy in this glorious day such as watching a parade, cooking a lot food, and fire works.
For Instance, the parade is a nice gathering place were people stand up in both side of the street to watch it. The parade is a big combination of colors, art, and people performing different kind of music and dances while their walking. Watching the Fourth of July’s parade became my family tradition since we moved to United States of America.
In addition, I organize a big dinner to my family and friends. My husband does the barbecue while I bake a nice cake and decorated with the American flag frosting. My friend Amal always brings Lebanese salads “fatouch” and her famous kafta with vegetables dish. My kids and her kids play all day long. I like holidays because during this days you hear the laughter of kids and smell the juicy mouth watery food that we eat joy.
In conclusion, the fourth of July in very social events where people gather to have fun and celebrate. I like it very much because I associate it with a loud patriotic music and a the happiness in the air that everybody enjoys that day. The American people deserve to celebrate this day because they worked so hard to get their independence from the British as Franklin D. Roosevelt said “I n the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved.”

brain storm justice Kristy
I believe without justice the world would be a jungle where the strongest will eat the weakest. When a person has a problem they will hire a lawyer to defend them in court. Unfortunately, most of the time the judges and the juries are not fair; they will judge the innocent as guilty and sentence him or her to jail. At the end and after somebody from the defendant family succeed in reopening the case again, or when they find the right one who commits the crime. Then they free the innocent one from jail. But that poor person lost many years from his/ her life behind bars. Is the juridical system fair by locking him/her behind bars?

Discussion Questions
1- My parents’ parenting style was authoritarian. We were seven kids in my family, four boys and three girls. My parents were very strict, but loving. They set up rules for us to follow, and we did not have the right to argue or question their authority. We were rewarded if we follow rules and help out at home. This style did work very well for all of us because we turned out to be responsible, educated and respectful to ourselves and others. Now, I am a mother of three wonderful kids. And I am doing my best to use the authoritative style with my children. I believe it is the right parenting style to raise healthy, responsible, and open minded kids.

My favorite place Kristy
A favorite place is usually a place where people find happiness and peace. My favorite place is Morocco. It’s a place where my parents and I were born. Morocco is a beautiful country that lies in the Atlantic Ocean and has a mild weather never too hot or too cold.
In Morocco, I have a lot of memories that I cherish a lot. Some of my favorite things that I used to do are spending the whole summer at the beach where I played tennis and swam with my family. Furthermore, the environment is always warm, and the food is tasty especially the couscous.
There are many dialects spoken in Morocco, but the most dominant languages are the standard Arabic and Berber. At school the standard Arabic and the French are the first languages that the students will learn then they will learn at least one of the other foreign language such as Spanish or English.
The architecture in Morocco is very fascinating because it is a combination of the ancient architecture and modern.For instance, Moroccans use the Islamic calligraphy, colors, and pattern to decorate the new buildings and the big palace. In addition, they use the African architecture. Tourists are very attracted to Morocco because they like to see its nice monuments such as Bahia Palace in Marrakech.
In the conclusion, Morocco is a nice country that will make you interested in visiting its monument and enjoy its warm weather and the kindness of people. In addition , the food is very tasty and juicy.

In addition, they use the African architecture. Tourists are very attracted to Morocco because they like to see its nice monuments such as Bahia Palace in Marrakech.
In the conclusion, Morocco is a nice country that will make you interested in visiting its monument and enjoy its warm weather and the kindness of people. In addition , the food is very tasty and juicy.

Beer ads #4 pg 90 Rosemary
I think beer ads should be outlawed on television and in college newspapers because these ads are manipulating us and giving a false message to young people that are still looking to find their identity and are trying to fit in. alcohol is a substance that inhibits the brain function. Thus, the people who drink lose control and make bad decision. For example drink drivers are dangerous for themselves and others.

Brainstorm kristy
My problem is directions. And till now I do not drive in high ways or go to very far places that I do not know. Thus, every time I need to go somewhere unfamiliar to me; I will ask my husband to take me. I think I rely a lot on my husband and the only thing I can do to overcome this obstacle is to use a map of a GPS (the electronic device that you can hook to your car and can give you directions)and start practicing finding my way around without any help.

College Advantage
It is very hard to make a choice about which college is the right one to enroll to, and have a good education experience. I believe that Henry Ford Community college is the right choice to pursue a college degree, and to maximize your learning experience. It’s affordable, safe, and diverse.
At Henry Ford Community college the tuitions are reasonable. The classes’ schedules are very flexible. And if you are working during the day you can take night classes or weekend classes. It has a day care where you can leave your kids while you are taking classes. Also there are many on line classes that you can chose from if you do not want to attend on campus classes.
Further more. This college is very safe. Security guards are in the building and in the park in lot all time to ensure the security of all staff and students. It has a system alert that will inform the students about the inclement weather and when the college is closed. There is no violence at this college.
In addition to this, it is very diverse. Students come from all different countries. Staffs have different background and are very knowledgeable in the subject they are teaching. Thus, nobody feels a stranger at Henry Ford Community College. Everybody is welcome no matter where he or she came from.

Night watch
I t is a great feeling when you help someone in need. I experienced that awesome feeling when I came to United State of America and helped my sister. I did house work for her and baby site her two years old son because she was eight month pregnant and she could take care of her family. I was very happy that I came at the right time. In addition, I was there for her also when she needed me during the most critical time of her life which is her divorce. I supported her with my comforting words and my money. I even babysit her kids to allow her to go to college and have a degree. I was thrilled to see her come over her divorce and start a new life with her two kids.

Letter to the Editor
Senstionalist reporting is harmful to all people involved and has no place in our society
I am writing to you today to inform you about my son’s delema. My son was a hard working security guard who has a good reputation, until July 27 bombing, when one of the reporter made him a suspect in the eye of the public and the media bombarded our privacy. He was only doing his job while he was rescuing inocent poeple after the bomb went off. From that day my son’s life became a nightmare. My son is not a criminal and should not be labeled as one because he was a hero who saved lives. The media should not be judgemental and condem him before knowing the truth. The Judge found my son inocent, however, the public still sees him as murderer. My son deserves to be regonised as a hero and has the right of privacy as any other citizen. In addition, I would like you to be aware of the damage that the media is doing to other innocents such as Princess Diana who lost her life because of the media.

Article
This article titled Helping children Take Control of Their Learning is about how parents can help their children learn and not be frustrated by the way their children misbehave and refuse to learn, because they like to play and have fun instead of learning. In addition, this article gives some strategies to parents to use in order to make their children interested in learning. It gives the example of Leslie who expected her eight year old son to sit still and memorize his vocabulary words for his spelling test. This article states that Lesly needs to ask her son to write down his vocabulary words many time so he can memorize them easily. Also she needs to give him a puzzle to solve at the end of each time he memorize some words so he can have fun while his learning. I agree with the author of this article because I have children and I know it is hard for them to focus and seat for a long time without moving while they are doing their homework. without having fun. But it makes it very easy for them to focus when I Teach them using a game or a buzzle.
