Blumenfeld’s article emphasizes the changes society is going through, and how technology is changing issues we already face. The article takes a serious approach to the issue of bullying as it begins to become more and more relevant with the increased use of technology among teens. Blumenfeld states that cyberbullying is “deliberate and repeated aggressive and hostile behaviors by an individual or group of individuals intended to humiliate, harm, and control another individual or group of individuals of lesser power or social status”. With most teens spending time online, many have faced cyberbullying, and many forms of social media online are used as outlets for cyberbullying.

The author presents the readers with the story of a young man named Tyler who took his own life because of cyberbullying, this helps express to readers how serious cyberbully can be and the affect it has on its victims. The author uses recent and up to date information and uses anecdotes and statistics to support their claims.

The article is useful for research and includes a clear thesis and many supporting claims, it is useful for creating discussions and when one view point is clear it will become easier and clearer to decipher opposing views. The relevance of the article will make it more engaging for teens when reading and analyzing it. 

 

The issue of racism has been continuing for hundreds of years, while equality is on the rise, many groups face racism still. Rajmohan Gandhi discusses in his article how religious groups often still face discrimination. Gandhi uses historic evidence along with quotes and anecdotal evidence to persuade readers and get across the message that change needs to happen and soon. Gandhi uses examples for his life and personal experiences to show what hardships Muslims go through in America. In one statement Gandhi states “Most Muslims are Muslims because they were born into Muslim families; most Americans are Americans because they were born so. Blaming Muslims because they are Muslim, or Americans because they are American, means that people are being condemned, for their birth, for their blood, for their DNA.” This is a very strong point made by Gandhi to show that though most Muslims have not personally harmed or affected those of another race does not mean they will not be discriminated against.

The author presents the idea that change needs to happen and that this issue cannot continue. The facts presented in the article are up to date and will be very useful. Since the author or this article has personally experienced the social injustice and discrimination he is addressing, it makes the article more credible and reliable.

 

This article is dealing with topic of IUDs and how doctors now trying push these on teenage girls. The IUD weakens the teen’s choice to have sex. By doing this device you can have sex without ever worrying about getting pregnant for years. This is setting double standards for females by putting these steroids in their bodies. They undermined the role of the parents. If the parents are telling them that it’s not safe to have sex then the family doctor comes and haves a “safe” sex plan and makes it seem completely okay to have sex he is stepping over the parents.
