Wife Beater

No I totally disagree with the essay and the author. I do not believe that the name of an article of clothing can determine the way a person acts. I do believe that the author was exaggerating.

Sex Lies and Conversation

I agree 100% with Tannen . Many times i have tried to talk to men and they just dont seem attentive because while i am talking they want to hold conversations with other people or watch the game and multi task while im trying to express the little things that seem to matter so much to me because i am a woman and little things matter.

Swollen Expectations

I do agree with the authors. I believe that people have truly become spoiled and that our expectations to have a "comfortable" life have gone up extremely high. I do also agree with the fact that many people suffer from affluenza.

Swollen Expectations

I believe that the author was overstateing the case but i feel it was for all the right reasons. I do agree that greed has spread like a bad virus because I've even noticed in myself I tend to say that I need more when I should really be saying I want.

TV the Plug in Drug

I believe that television has had more of a positive affect on my life oppose to a negative affect. I believe this to be true because i hardly watch TV and when I do watch it I only watch it for small amounts of time. T.V can be negative if it is watched excessively but if watched in increments it shouldn't be harmful.

The Power of Words inWartime

Yes I do believe that words have an enormous effect on the way people act. I believe that names that certain races give another can only keep them down as long as they allow it to.Like the word nigger for example held African American people down until they decided one day to use it in a more positive way and not a simple 6 letter word hold them back.
