This was really interesting how she does not feel pressured to join the bandwagon of women that are obsessed with looks and their bodies. The veil that she always wears impacted her perspective on image and that's a lot of power a thing can have.
And now,
In this passage, Haydar is talking about how women are so obsessed with looks and image and getting all the attention. She believes that it is a waste of time.
And now, as I write this, I can watch women subjugate themselves on reality dating shows. On a show about aspiring models I ~eard a "':'o~an ~ay that her greatest goal would be to appear in Stuff magazine. I can t imagine centering my life on something as fleeting and meaningless as being ad-mired simply for my body.
Writing this article, I've observed that women like to and want to be liked and loved due to their bodies and looks. I could never imagine myself being so concerned about looks and image like others are. It is a waste of time (405)

The more common picture-egg as damsel in distress, shielded only by her sacred garments; sperm as heroic warrior to the rescue-cannot be proved to be dictated by the biology of these events. While the "facts" of biology may not always be constructed in cultural terms, I would argue that in this case they are. The

degree of metaphorical content in these descriptions, the extent to which differences between egg and sperm are emphasized, and the parallels between cultural stereotypes of male and female behavior and the character of egg and sperm all point to this conclusion.
The egg is pictured as a weak lady protected by her lady-like clothes, however the sperm comes to the rescue as the strong tough man it is. These are cliche views we have of eggs and sperms in society. (Martin 491-492

Rheingold, Howard. Net Smart How to Thrive Online. MIT Press, Cambridge, MA, 2012.
The first time I saw my daughter use a search engine to research home-work, I explained that "in the olden days, you gathered information by going to the library for a book or magazine article. You might disagree with a library book, but you could be somewhat confident that someone checked the author's claims about facts before the book was published. When you get results from a Web search engine and click on a link, you can't be sure that what you get is accurate or inaccurate information, miSinformation, or totally bogus."
Rheingold shares a story about his daughter using the internet to study and find resources online to help with her homework. He tells his daughter about how in his time, they referred and depended on books and physical legitimate sources. He goes on to tell her to be careful about what she will find on the internet and how some sources may not be right.(78)

Lakoff goes right into talking about the worrisome problem with what freedom is and how it is being perceived. This will draw readers attentions especially Americans, because it is concerning their country and their rights.

This was really interesting to me because if you read further, he refers to Bush's presidency and how a lot of his actions went against what he says using words such as liberty, freedom and repetition of the word. It makes people not really think about the definition of freedom but knows that everything is okay because he keeps saying it so that means America is doing good because we are free people. However they may not be aware of what other countries struggles may be due to us and our actions as a free country.

Lakoff is talking about how the context behind freedom could be possibly diminished. He is concerned about how it could change and that could change America because they are strongly tied together.

My view is blogging can mislead and misinform just as easy as it can inform. How is it possible to claim blogging is worth doing when these writers aren’t held to the same standards as professionals?
You have explained your argument really good in this paper. You talk a little about credible sources and how blogging is not one, what is an example of a credible source?
My best friend lives in the suburbs of Maryland. His nearest library is an hour away and he doesn’t have a license. He’s expected to write essays almost weekly, these essays alwaysmust include a plethora of sources to defend his arguments. Where should he go for these sources? My aunt is old. She needs to become knowledgeable about psychology so she could get a better jobto retire. She has three kids and needs to keep food on the table. Where is the best place where she could access a vast amount of information in the shortest amount of time? My dad didn’t go to college. He owns his own business, a very demanding job that involves a lot of financial accounting. What would be the most effective way for him to advance his career while he puts in twelve-hour shifts at work and needs to supporthis family? My little cousin lives in Atlanta and she loves to dance. She doesn’t live close to a dance school but she wants to learn the dance moves to her favorite music.
