    Branding leaves a third degree burn to the skin and can be done with a cautery tool or a method known as striking. Striking seems to be the more painful as a sheet of metal with a design is laid onto the skin and heated with a torch. Cautery is much more precise as a surgical tool is used and the nerve dies quite quickly.

    Corset piercings are not permanent. They are surface piercings placed across from each other so that ribbon can be laced through, creating the look of a corset. They are typically placed on the back and at times, on the sides.

    10% of Americans have one or more tattoos. Employers are discriminatory against those with this form of body art. Understandably if an employee has direct contact with customers, it could be a problem but this article explains employers responsibilities, the law, and things to take into consideration.

    Arguments focusing on the personal rights and freedoms of drug users. Poses questions about if it is a person's right to decided what to put into thier body and if it is the same thing as a person's right to decide to participate in a dangerous sport or activity.

    This was a really interesting article! I never would have thought to parallel drug use with sports. However, I guess it makes sense when you think about the amount of athletes who use steroids to boost their game.

    This article describes the two sides to tattoos in the workplace. Some companies, mainly companies where there is little customer interaction, are accepting of tattoos and piercings. As long as they are not offensive, you will not be asked to cover them. However, some companies still have more strict dress code that prohibits employees from having tattoos or any visible piercings. It really depends on the atmosphere and the company, but those with tattoos and piercings that are not offensive, find it discriminating and lacking in personal freedoms.

    The state of Vermont is currently assessing their current law that allows parents to opt out of vaccinations for their children. Many think that unvaccinated children will infect others with an outbreak of any number of sicknesses. While the opposition says that vaccines do not always work and it is not up to the state what medicines go into their child's body.

    Activists and meddling lawmakers have toyed with the idea of taxing certain foods and ingredients to curb obesity. Twinkie Tax inventor Kelly Brownell advocates "slapping high-fat, low-nutrition food with a substantial government 'sin' tax." According to him, certain foods are too "convenient, accessible, good-tasting ... and cheap." This article just gives insight into what lawmakers want to do to curb obesity within our society. It is no longer alcohol and cigarettes that are causing damage to our bodies, but the food we consume too.

immigration law personal+freedoms killing Robert Krentz

shared by Elizabeth Brzezinski on 05 Jun 12 - Cached
  • 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. Clues led to the possibility that it may have been an illegal alien who shot and killed Mr. Krentz. This event occurred during the heated debate as to whether Arizona's new immigration law, requiring documentation of legal status in the United States, should go into effect.

    The subject of the child obesity epidemic has been high in the last 4 years. Did the government have to right to force what is or isnt allowed to be served, sold, and purchased on school campuses? This artical has it all explained pretty well.

    Jonathan S. Tobin is a well know Journalist who has won over 50 journalism awards and has had his articles posted in papers such as the NY Times and USA Today talks about how the governments is slowing taking away our freedom. The fact that the government feels they have the right to to tell us what we can or can not eat is amazing to me. To ban soda just because it is bad for you is unreal. If Americans chose to dink soda then that is their choice and they have to deal with the consequences. 
  • Lauren Kramer on 02 Dec 12
     
    Mayor Bloomberg(New York) banned all sugared soft drinks in containers over 16 ounces, because they are thought to be the main cause of obesity. People are outraged, not because they can't have soft drinks, but because a grown adult should be able to make their own decisions.
  • Jessica Espinoza on 30 Aug 13
     
    New York City Mayor Bloomberg struck what he claims is another blow for the cause of public health yesterday by announcing a ban on the sale of all sugared drinks in containers that measure larger than 16 ounce servings. Although sugared drinks may cause weight gain, we as Americans should have the choice to drink as much as we want.
  • Jodi Coffman on 31 Aug 13
     
    I agree that it should be an individuals right to choose what they consume or do not consume. There needs to be more education as to how drinking soda in excess effects the body. The child obesity issue is getting out of control as children spend a lot of time using electronic devices rather than going outside to play. I also think that because of fast paced lifestyles and both parents having to work to support the family, children consume more convenience foods/drinks. I think the responsibility is on the individual to make healthy choices not for government to infringe on our personal rights.
  • Ana Ortiz Palacios on 31 Aug 13
     
    "... medical costs of the illnesses caused by drinking, eating and smoking are affected in one way or another by the public and that gives government the right to regulate and/or ban such items." I get why they are doing it, I really do. This is a personal freedom I think we should regulate ourselves. This article does have good points. I get sometimes we do need help, but why not attack the big soda companies as well.

    New York City Mayor is trying to ban sugar drinks that are larger than 16 ounces because it is one of the main causes of obesity. People argue that although they agree with the fact that soft drinks are indeed unhealthy, the government should protect the freedom of the people.
  • alexis morgan on 02 Sep 13
     
    taking away the drinks are going too far but the idea is right, obesity is a huge problem in the US and although it is an argument of freedom to eat, drink etc whatever you may please but when it comes to health that is a whole differnt concern.

    Whole Foods takes a stance in support of GMO labeling on food products; demands action by 2018.
  • Leilani Metteba on 12 Sep 13
     
    okay so it's totally understandable that people want to know what they are eating especially since we are all unique as an individual and some of us care about what we put in our bodies. There are a lot of people who have become vegans and only prefer to eat organic, non-genetically modified foods. Some people view certain things as a concern for their health. Labeling foods is something that I can agree with and believe is completely logical so i fit into the percentile of 92% of the citizens that vote for GMO labeling.

    This is one of those issues that I have trouble keeping cool about. It once again shows me how other people want to take over raising the children from the parents. I have chosen it vaccinate my children but if other parents chose not to I feel that is their choice as parents.
  • springdb on 02 Sep 13
     
    I think it shouldn't be mandatory for parents to vaccinate their children. Every parent has their beliefs and doubts when it comes to medications.
  • Nicolas Buenrostro on 02 Sep 13
     
    I understand that children's health is at risk but most parents accept vaccinations for their children. This means that a majority of the population has protection against these diseases and an outbreak is unlikely to happen even for those children who are not vaccinated. Ultimately, it should be the parents' decision whether or not they want vaccinations for their children.
  • alexis morgan on 02 Sep 13
     
    a parent should always have a say in what medically happens to their child. what if they are allergic to the vaccine or other issues
  • Destini Boorman on 03 Sep 13
     
    I think it is absurd and over steps the bounds of a parents decision in proper rearing of a child. I myself had no vaccinations up until I worked for a hospital before I was 20. At that point it was mandatory that I have the injections or find another place of employment. It was my choice then and I do appreciate my parents leaving it up to me to decide what is put into my body. With all the recent cross contamination's and impure batches I can understand the concern of giving a small child these shots.
  • andrew nunez on 03 Sep 13
     
    I think agree with destini, if we have talking about personal freedoms in all of these assignment then the individual should get to choose what they want to do. If a parent does it for them, then it was never a choice in the first place.
  • Julia Laborin on 05 Sep 13
     
    Young children can not make the decision themselves. That right is the given the parents that conceived them.
