    Social networking sites have definitely begun to play a role in getting a job. I think before you post a picture or statement on your Facebook or Twitter think twice if it will ever effect you in the long run. If its risky it probably something you shouldn't be putting online anyway.
  •  
    People do need to realize that how they portray themselves on social networking sites, portray who they may be as a perspective employee. Companies don't want to take risks of hiring someone that may damage the company's reputation. It's called being responsible.
  •  
    Psychologically it is said that we have many social scripts, in other words we do not act the same exact way around our parents as we do our boss or our friends. Companies that use social media are attempting to view how you live your life outside of work, how you act out that social script. But why should that matter? Regardless if you put pictures of Saturday night drinking it does not mean that this who you are in the office, they are two completely different script and for the general population they are unrelated.

    I think employers should look at social media networks, people should always present themselves in a professional look, because there behaviors affect the company, on the clock or off

How safe is immunization - 0 views

  •  
    Many claim that vaccinations cause death. However, when ministries of health perform an examination they make sure that vaccinations are not the cause. If so, then it is most likely that is it a programmatic error not vaccine manufacture error. Once a child is vaccinated, usually the only side effects are sore arms or mild fever. Most effects of vaccination can be controlled by taking paracetamol. To accurately asses some of the more serious effects would be hard since they are so far and in between. We must remember that vaccinations are safe for our children.

Rich must pay more taxes, Obama tells voters - 5 views

    A day after demanding Washington lawmakers extend middle-class tax cuts while raising taxes on the wealthy, President Obama took his case directly to voters Tuesday, traveling to Iowa to argue that the rich should pay higher taxes in order to cut the deficit and fund his spending priorities.

    This article says that 98 percent of Americans want the tax hike, where as the 2 percent it will effect does not. This 98 percent number is outrageous, especially if they are adding me into the mix. It also brings up that the small businesses that we are trying to support are the most effected by the tax hike.

    THe US government reiterates the importance of freedom of expression as well as the freedom of internet through the Twitter censor policy.

The Law On Assisted Suicide | The Kevorkian Verdict | FRONTLINE | PBS - 0 views

  •  
    Only one state, Oregon, has legalized assisted suicide. The Oregon statute, which went into effect in October 1997, provides that a doctor may prescribe, but not administer, a lethal dose of medication to a patient who has less than six months to live. Two doctors must agree that the patient is mentally competent and that the decision was voluntary. As of April 1999, 23 patients were given drugs under the statute, and 15 of them used the drugs to commit suicide. A report released by the Oregon state Health Division reviewing the first year of the law's implementation found that the law was working well and had not been subject to abuse.

Britz brings together the concept of privacy as it relates to ethics, confidentiality, socio-economical effects, and autonomy. Well written and researched.

Ranchers Alarmed by Killing Near Border - 0 views

  • Robert N. Krentz Jr., 58, the scion of one of the best-known and oldest ranching families here in southeast Arizona, was found shot to death March 27 on his vast, remote ranch north of here after radioing to his brother that he was aiding someone he believed to be an illegal immigrant. Mr. Krentz went missing shortly after that call, and the police found his body several hours later in his all-terrain vehicle, his guns untouched in the back, his dog shot and critically wounded. Fresh footprints led from the scene to the Mexican border 20 miles away. Given Mr. Krentz’s radio transmission, the footprints and heavy drug and illegal immigrant trafficking in that area, investigators are working on the assumption that he encountered a smuggler, possibly heading back to Mexico.
  •  
    This NY Times article looks into the murder of Robert Krentz, the Arizona farmer, who was shot to death in Cochise County.
