Keep Your Social Networks Clean

        This passage I read explains how having inappropriate pictures or post on different social media websites can effect getting the job you want. I agree that social webpages should be kept clean and appropriate.

        "Your first impression isn't made with a firm handshake-- it is with a google search." I agree with this statement. Now that technology plays such a big role in our lives it can also effect your life. When going for a job interview before you even get there they can know so much about you just from what it posted online. Yes, it is okay to take fun pictures on the weekends, but it is not okay to be posting them for the public eye. If your page is full with bad things they wont want to hire you because A- they have a bad impression of you and B- it can also make them look bad. "70 % of the US business managers say they decided not to hire a job candidate based upon something they found online." 70 is a high percentage of bosses to not hire because of something that could be fixed so easily. If the boss sees rude post about your last job or last boss then he may see you as a disrespectful worker. If the boss was to come across drunk pictures he may assume that you're a big partier and wont always show for work. I can relate to this from when my sister was going through rush to be in a sorority. One of the things they would do was go look through the facebook pages and twitter pages of the girls that were pledging. They were looking for clean pages not pages with junk on their. My sister got accepted and the next year she was one of the ones having to check out the girls social networks. She said "It is crazy how much of a difference it makes from having a clean or inappropriate page."

        If it is just as simple as deleting a few pictures and post off your pages to make them clean then why not do it? Its a good idea and can help your reputation and jobs if you do so.

6 Year Old Beats Up Teacher

         Who would think a 6 year old boy could beat up a two hundred and twenty pound gym teacher? Rodrigo Carpio has tried to hurt many people at the school and finally did. It does not matter if the person is six or seventeen. In my opinion they need to be diciplined. I think the parents have a lot to do with how kids will act at school.

        Rodrigo Carpio is a six year old that has been described as "an angel devil sort of thing" because of his sweet looks, but horrible behavior. Rodrigo has already kicked the school princible and pinched other individuals, including the school security officer. Rodrigo now has charges pressed against for actually damaging the gym teachers knee. "He kicked me in the ankle, and one kick landed right on my knee. I felt a pop," says gym teacher, Mr. Webster. I think they have every right to press charges, but Corpios dad thinks differerent. "This lawsuit is totally absurd." I disagree with his dad. This child already got away with physically hurting other members of the school faculty. He does not need to get by with damaging the teachers knee. I do understand where they could think that pressing charges on such a young kid is not necessary because he is only six, but discipline is definitely needed. The gym teacher tried holding on to the kid so he could not do anything, but he couldn't control the kid kicking him. This also ties in with parenting. For the dad to think his child should not be in trouble for this maybe shows what kind of parenting they apply. I know that if I were to do something like that in school even if I was that young, I would have been in twice as much trouble at home then at school.

        Different situations like this happen all the time. Of course a teacher can not do anything physically back to the child because of the young age. This is why something needs to happen through the law. Kicking people because you're mad or in trouble is not acceptable. If Rodrigo would have already got in trouble by his parents and teachers at school, then this probably would not have occured again.
