This blog post it about the article called "Whats up Doc? A Bloody outrage, Thats what". This article talks about how violence is creeping its way into our children's tv shows and games. The author talks about how her sons cartoon started killing little animated animals and he did not see anything wrong with that. The author stresses the fact that its getting harder and harder to keep control over what your child sees thanks to creators taking violence once step further. I believe that a parents should thoroughly make sure that what their kids are watching and and playing does not involve anything inappropriate for their age level. you can help control that by putting parental locks on game tablets, TV's, and computers.

This blog post will be about grocery stores, since I have started working in a grocery store my opinions have changed on a couple things that happen there. For starters some shoppers can be the nicest people you will ever meet, they compliment your hard work, say thank you, and sometimes go out of their way to go to your supervisor and tell them what a good worker you are. There are also however the other shoppers that have no respect for the cashiers. I am ashamed to admit I used to be one of those shoppers before I worked at a store. These people will hound you if you don't have a coupon for them or fi you are under 21 and have to wait for a manager to come ring up alcohol for you. Just for that purpose some stores have wine and spirits stores or lanes that say alcohol is permitted here or not allowed here, yet customers will do as they please and not follow instructions. As cashiers we always try to make the shopping experience enjoyable for the customer by helping them carry groceries out to their car, find something for them or even helping them with their entire list of groceries they need.

The article I chose to do this blog over was called " On Facebook, Biggest Threat to Your Private Data Might Be You", by Jacquielynn Floyd. She Floyd wrote about how Facebook is a big part of most peoples lives. People post statuses daily even hourly, which tells the whole world what they are doing that day or week. People post pictures of vacations, dances, dates, outings, baptisms, plays, weddings, really anything and everything. Floyd's problem isn't even with Facebook really its more about how people open up so much of themselves online when so many identities are stolen via online. There was an incident where a woman posted on Facebook that she would be gone for a week on vacation, and while she was gone her place was robbed. Because she posted the specific times of when she would be gone the robbers knew when exactly to rob her house. People don't realize how easy it is for websites to get hacked and steal a bunch of information from them. This article brings that to everyones attention and hopefully knocks some sense into people about posting personal information online. I personally agree with the writer of this article and think people should be more careful about posting personal information online.
