Healthier Fast Food: Will kids Actually Eat It?- My Reaction



    In the article, "Healthier Fast Food: Will kids Actually Eat It?" which was published in The Week magazine on July 14, 2011. Stated that many of fast food companies such as Burger King, Chili's, and El Pollo Loco  are starting to minimize unhealthier kids meals by replacing  it with another healthier once. The bottom line is that these restaurants are focusing on lacking  the amount of surge on Kids meals and try to include more healthier products such as vegetables and fruits in their meals which will have an extended impact on the children eat habits.  The outer is questing if kids actually will get a rid from  French Fries. From my understanding for the whole concern and the selections which produced by the restaurants. Amount of people may choose to affiliate this campaign because it will bring a positive style of eating habits for their kids. On the other side, my understanding  is unclear about why these restaurants are trying  to change their recipes while  a mother can  make a fabulous heather food ever at home. For example, any mother can attract her children to eat her heather food, making it for them by decorating the food with drawings and  brighting colors.  Honestly, including heather food in the restaurants a wonderful idea. However, I think that kids are going to eat this type of food because of many reasons. First, some kids tend to eat fast food as away for changing. In addition, they go with their friends to hang out. Second, other children may replace homemade food with fast because they are in an activate age, so they think they supposed to compensate the enrage that they lost. From my perspective, I tend to be in between homemade and fast food. Dispute the fact of the porticos for each one. For instance,  the present can make a control of their children habits, they may choose two days during the week day for their kids to eat from the outside fast food restaurants. For now, I am not sure weather this idea will actually success because kids just go their to eat French Fries. If there is no this kind of food, they definitely won't go. to rap up what I discussed before, many of fast food restaurants are about to change their unhealthier kind of food to another heather once. But I am pretty sure that this idea may not has her way to the market because kids won't go their to eat heather food while there is food at home.

Can Smartphones Replace House Keys?- My Reaction

        "Can Smart phones Replace House Keys?" the article which was published in The Week magazine, on July 6, 2011, highlighted a new contemporary technique that allows people to use smart phones instead of regulars keys. The usage of this unusual technique  is focusing on the opportunity to lock the outside door from any distance. Specifically, by sending the vibrations from the users own cell phone to the installer device on the door. Moreover, this technique is contributed  many advantages. One of them is the achievement to develop a new mouthed for people safety. For example, the specialist engineering who are responsible about creating this technique  in order to grape people attention to their positions. However, it may have an unprofessional  side in the way long of using the advice. Another advantage is that the owner of the positions is the only one who has the power of controlling the advice by entering  a secret code of number to his/ her cell phone. Despite there is a disadvantage for the previous advantage . Controlling the advice by one person, will make it is extremely hard  for anyone else to control the advice. One of the circumstances that it could happen when the device is suddenly locked. For instance, If the owner is outside of country, he may get the help that he want by calling friend who have the advice secret pass. But how a friend could help if the only media which is controlling the device is the owner cell phone. After display the advantage and the disadvantage of switching the regular key with the  new a device. In my prospective, I tend to accept this new technique after it guaranteed qualification of its work. And I assume this new technique will prove the ability after the third generation. In brief, I believe that either way will give the purpose of using it.

'Homework Revolt': Time to Give Kids a Break?- My Reaction

 
           On June 16, 2011, " Homework Revolt': Time to Give Kids a Break? article which published in The Week magazine illustrated that many of Untied State schools are thinking about limiting the amount of schools homework. Recently, New Jersey's schools are thinking about limiting the homework students do at home to 10 minutes per day. Considering the big contete of the homework assignments, student's parents start to complain that their children do not have time to interact into outside activities, beside that they won't have the time to spend with their family. For example, a child might approximately take from 4-7 hours just to do his/her homework.  On the other hand, teachers seem to be sure that the homework assignments will contribute the individual ability by improving the students independents learning. When the students are tend to do their homework at home, it will give them the inactive to find appropriate answer from different recourses. Therefore, this process will increase the students knowledge and by using search techniques the information will stick in their brain because they made a hard effort to find the answers for homework. From my prospective, I am sure that taking off the homework assignments are not the best solutions. I tend to choice to make a balance between the big assignments and the small once. for example, teachers could give students one big assignments and two small or if teachers saw that the students has to make a lot of thinking and search, she should managed the amount of homework that she will be given. Specifically, teachers should be more focused on the quality more than quantity. In this exact moment, definitely teachers are going to see more improving in students skills. I am looking forward to be part on any changing to manage the best salutation to solve this contribute in a helpful way for both sides.

Are Hookah Pipes More Dangerous Than Cigarettes? - My Reaction

           On June 1, 2011, The Week magazine published the article "Are Hookah Pipes More Dangerous than Cigarettes" It discussed the controversy surrounding hookah and cigarettes in terms of which one has most harmful effect on the humans body.  I concede that many people are choosing either hookah or cigarettes. Nowadays the hookah is considered the newest phenomena in for teenagers.  The article pointed out several theories about which option is more dangerous. Many theories appeared to show the softer sides of smoking a hookah pipe. One of the theories which I  had listened to and read before  in other articles' discusses the fact of smoking the hookah might be seven more times more dangerous than smoking cigarettes. That is because the water in the hookah pipe dose not filter out the toxic elements which come from the tobacco. So, the hookah's smoker my catch more tobacco than the cigarette's smoker. Another theory says that smoking hookah has roughly the same amount of effect negative on your health as smoking a pack of cigarette. The third theory is that the hookah smoker might be more addicted than cigarettes smoker. For instance, smoking hookah each time for 4-7 hours at a time is more dangerous  than smoke one cigarette for 3-4 minutes. From my prospective I understand  that many people attempt to smoke for factors such as relaxation, enjoyment, and depression . But whatever the reason is, I think people should replace this bad habit with another good. As a substition  for these factors, they may read  a book or listen to music to feel a relaxated or to feel the enjoyable moments. Regarding depresseion, people can try to speak to  a friend about what is bothering them.  Honestly, none of the factors are worth assailing your healthy for.

Can Macs Beat PCs in The Corporate World?- My Reaction


       The Week article "Can Macs Beat PCs in The Corporate World?" published on May 24, 2011, indicates the new generation of Macs are starting to beat the PCs in terms of sales. The author is trying to analyze the reason behind Mac's succeess. Furthermore, the auther posed the most critical question:  who is going to win- Macs or PCs?  According to my experience with Maccs their comany on is focused on presenting productes which have a high quality from the inside more than focuing on the outer style. As an example, Macs recently presented new laptop which the  Mac Pro, which comes in  only two colors sliver and white. Therefore, from my point of view, there are many differences between the options which Macs offers to their customers and what PCs offer. The first difference is the applications. For example, Macs have unique applications that do not fit on the other laptops. Also, each item they present has his own style and program. It's focus is on users who want to use this application. However, all the PC companies have the same application. Anotherdifference is with Macs customers recive a guartantee that the materials that they will buy will last  for a long time. Nevertheless, if there are any technical complications, Macs customer can contact a very specialized professional computer engineering who  will provide them with  they need it. Despite the fact that those PCs don't establish branches don’t exist in every market. As a customer, I suffered from unprofessional attitude towered an issue with my PC.The bottom line is that either they have no branches in the area or you will get second hand spare parts from a local store. And that for sure will effect on PCs customer revievs. Overall, I prefer to choose the Mac for the high quality produces that the company displays to their customers. I believe, eventually, people will replace their PCs with Macs. For me, I am pondering changing my old PC with a new Mac.

Fighting Over Food - My Reaction

            According to The Week article "Fighting over food" which was published in 25, 2011,  the increase of food prices are a widespread phenomenon all over the world especially  in the Middle East and Asia,  which are suffering from hunger. One mean reason  is that exceedins the supply of food which means that people are consuming agreat amount of food what is offered in the market.  The author gives many examples for the rise in a food prices such as, what happened in Chine and Australia after the  environmental disaster, and the political turmoil in Egypt. As a consumer myself, I tend  to disagree with the high food prices. For example, the price of rice and wheat are getting higher because  of the lack of production. Nevertheless, there are other types of food such as vegetables like tomatos and cucumbers and fruits, and meat  that have a high prices that are causirs people to suffer. So, they prefer  limited the less important types of food or they try to shift the types between months. That means that if they have a choice to buy meat in a certain month they are going to buy vegetables in the fallowing month.   Therefore, their families will have the chance to eat all types of food. Indeed, I am facing this obstacle  about how people are living in a poor environment . How can they deal with  the fact of high prices?  increasing food prices  continue to rise?
