Health of the Auto Industry

Have you ever had a job and were laid off either in a foreign or American automotive facility just because they wanted to save a little money? General Motors announced that by 2008 30,000 of 173,000 jobs would be axed and would shut down 12 facilities. In the first month of 2005 they lost $4 billion in the first nine months. General Motors also hopes to cut its annual $42 billion operational costs by $7 billion by shutting down plants and cutting workers health benefits (GM’s cup of Woes: Automotive Industries; July 2005).
Cars companies today in the foreign and American industry both have been viewed as companies that will let you down meaning that they have let down their customers in the quality and safeness in their vehicles. In the automotive foreign industry, cars have good quality, good gas mileage, and are a lot cheaper but the parts are much overpriced so they can get the moneys values worth that the person paid for the car to the point that not a lot of people want to buy foreign cars for that reason. Car parts for foreign have reached an all time high you can’t have it break down because one part costs a large expense of money.
In the American automotive industry cars are almost completely made of plastic. Also the technology and machinery imbedded inside the car constantly things are failing or malfunctioning like dashboard lights and engine gaskets. American car companies may work together in distributing parts together. They are also always interested in saving money. Saving money so much at a certain degree that their customers and workers become at fault then after that happens they become victims of the automotive society.
In conclusion, I would like to say sometimes you have to avoid saving money to get reliability and safety. Taking chances can have a good or bad effect depending on how long you take chances and how fortunate you can get. Car company executives advise their presidents’ different ideas to save money but never look at the problems or probably don’t care about the problems induced by their ideas unless it affects the company to the point of bankruptcy. All the time every year you hear about plant after plant being closed and you always wonder when is this madness going to stop. Automotive companies need to stop saving money and closing of plants. They have as much money as it is. This interferes with a workers life so they can provide for a family if they have one or provide for themselves. Then we can help the automotive industry involving the quality, safeness, cost of the customers’ cars, and the end of plant workers health care. In the end reassuring them of they they will their indefinitely keep their jobs.

Sex Offenders: how they make a more dangerous society

Many people think sex offenders are wrong and I think so as well. They have exploited the privacy of young and old people. I view them as a perverted criminal. Actual they are perverted criminals and even after they have had time in jail, they still go back on website posting information that is not true. Then when they get in touch with a stupid youth that is so stupid that they meet the person and they either are killed or sexually assaulted. This is a bad time in to be young because you are a target for all those perverted people. If I were a website head/president, I would ban all sex offenders from the site, no one over the age of 32 should be on the site. They have no business on a site with young people and they are 3 or maybe 4 times as old as people who have profiles on the site, it is just ridiculous. There should be a new law that keeps the sex offenders offline If they log into site like my space they need to say they are a sex offender and everything even the picture needs to be factual and true. Many people have the wrong idea about sex offenders once you’ve done it once it has been proven there is a likely chance they will do it again. They have ruined their life and they can’t get a job most of the time because of their criminal background. I would never do wrong after I had done it the first time. On second thought I wouldn’t have done it in the first place. Youths on the internet the internet should know that they are targets once they log on to the internet. Your parents are the only protection between online predators and you/ youths.

Hacking, Worms, and Viruses are big in the computer industry. People can use viruses to get information phone numbers, and credit card numbers. Some predators may be dumb and some are smart. The ones that are smart can use these viruses to their advantage to find the children or teenagers and do wrong. I feel really sorry for them because they have a messed up life and they are doing their best to mess up other youths lives. We now know the dangers of the internet.

Youths should know that ……By: Phillip Payne II

Youths should know that there can be many dangers involving the internet. The internet has its good and bad points. It’s for resources but it has viruses and sexual predators on it also. Have you ever encountered a deadly computer virus or been face-to-face with a widely known sexual predator? Things like these can be avoidable if you go according to my council. The world is getting worse and worse involving how people act. Everyone thinks everyone else is a good person by seeing their smile. Well just because they smile doesn’t mean they are a good person. There are millions of sexual predators around the world that will do anything to you when they get the chance. Youths though are predators more likely target because they think they know it all and they have less experience in surviving because they haven’t been here as long as adults have. To be aware of these dangers I have conjured up a list of things that youths should be aware of when they are on the internet.

First of all, the basics: NEVER EVER GIVE OUT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION! When you are logged on to the computer, never give out something that can be linked to where you live or how you can retrieve money from the bank. This is how your life that could be going uphill will have a big downfall. This could be where when youths make mistakes they cause problems for their parents. When you are talking online know the people you are talking to. Anyone could be on the other side of the computer you are talking to. Make sure you never meet up with someone off the internet without a parent because 1) You don’t really know the person on the other side and 2) you don’t know what they are capable of. Never give a picture of the real you. Don’t give some one your password because they would be able to enter your account and access information about you that you might not want them to access. Never go on the internet without your parents’ approval, they know what’s best for you. Your parents should monitor your computer use to the best of their ability so you know what you are up to. Never ever agree to do anything with people online. Again, you have no idea if they are a kidnapper or your real friend. Don’t accept people as your computer friends who you don’t know personally. Even if you are a very lonely person never make friends that you don’t know or haven’t seen. The thinking pattern of the person on the other side of the computer could be dangerous to you and your family.

Finally, the internet isn’t the safest place in the world so watch who you talk to and be responsible. If your parents let you go on the computer without their supervision don’t take advantage of that. They trust that you will make mature decisions. Youths are the prey and the predators are unjust sexual predators a wrong decision can change your whole life course in a matter of seconds. Don’t forget your parents are there to help you if you need that help all you need to do is ask for it that is what they are there for.
