My article response

Attention Disorder or Not, Pills to help in school

The main idea of this article is that doctors are basically being forced to give their patients pills for a mental state to help them improve in school and to start bringing their grades up though some parents know there children don't have ADHD they give the pills to them anyway for academic help/reasons.

 Evidence used in the article that can support my main idea is when the writer wrote "We are effectively forcing local community psychiatrists to use the only tool at their disposal which is medications."- Dr. Ramesh Raghavan, a child mental-health services researcher at Washington University in St. Louis and an expert in prescription drugs use among low-income children. This quote indicates that my main idea is an accurate one.

 In my opinion I think Adderall is a bad medicine because there's no telling what the side effects could be in any child it's given too. I can honestly say that I can make a reference to this article, because I had an uncle that got terribly sick one day and the doctors he went to see prescribed him some pills that they "guaranteed" would make him feel better. 

He died at least three weeks later because of them. This has helped me to think deeper about the world and honestly I think the world is slowly falling apart. I only have one question to ask... if there's more than one option, If there is then why would experts actually force psychiatrist to give patients this drug they know the outcome of it could be dangerous yet they make them give the pills to the patients anyway for tests.

Obama v. Romney (Presidential Debate of 2012)

Romney goes on offense, forcing Obama to defend record By David Nakamura & Philip Rucker, StudentNewsDaily.com

 

This article is basically about what’s going on in the presidential debate between Barack Obama (Democratic Party) & Mitt Romney (Republican Party) both sides however have very compelling arguments.

 

 

My details and or evidence I have on my information is that the article has been written by David Nakamura & Philip Rucker who’ve actually went out to some of the debates to take note on what was being discussed and argued over some of the debates these two went too were the debate of Wednesday, October 3, 2012, the debate of Thursday, October 11, 2012 (vice presidents debate), and Tuesday, October 16, 2012 and of course many more and they went to each of these debates and carefully took notes like I’ve already stated of what was being said and discussed in the debate.

 

 

My opinion on this article is that the debate between Romney v. Obama is a pretty fierce one to sit down and watch, for example Obama and Romney always find a way to taint each others reputations by basically down talking each others plans for when one of them get into office, Another example to my opinion is Obama’s and Romney’s clash on Medicare because they’re both promising to protect the program for the elderly but then Obama accused Romney of wanting to turn it into a voucher program, while Romney claimed that the president cut $716 million from Medicare to help pay for the Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare. So in conclusion to my opinion this is an interesting debate because even though I’m democratic I’m not subjective and I must say both sides arguments are very interesting.

 

 

Thanks to me reading this article I’m now more informed about the 2012 debate which is a very important thing to be informed on just like any other presidential debate that includes the U.S but also because you can’t just go around saying that you’re a Democrat or a Republican and not know what’s currently going on in politics because then you’re decision wouldn’t be as fully adamant as you think it might be. This article also has helped me because it’s helped me towards my future when I’m finally enabled to vote I’ll be able to look at other debates in the future and then decide on my own who is the right choice for the presidential office and reading this article has basically helped me to critically think over the debate and what I was going to write for it.

Texting may be more serious then we know

  Texting May Be Taking a Toll By KATIE HAFNER, NYTIMES.com

I've recently read a article which is basically based on texting and I must say it was an interesting article to read. I think the main idea of this article however is that texting isn't always good for you and that you should take steps to maintain your texting to keep good grades in school and also keep up on getting a good nights rest.

 I think this is the main idea because in the article it states that too much texting will eventually lead to serious problems in your future that includes your health. A thumb disorder however would be one of the most main ones you will get however and it could be permanent or not it's been discussed a little in the article, Texting can also lead to less sleep at night and lack of sleep is never good for anyone, It can even lead to slipping grades eventually which obviously isn't very good either.

 However there are a few good things about texting as well according to this article, for example texting can keep you in a "Active Circle" with your friends, family, and others at the touch of a button or screen because of modern technology. Texting can also keep you close to your parents if you’re at a very far distance even though you probably might call them anyway but just incase you'd text and aren't able to see them for a good reason like College for example. You might text them for the most simple things like to check in on them and make sure everything is fine or for other reasons you may have to chat with them.

 My final example from the article is that if you're one that enjoys texting you can also check up on friends which brings me back to the "Active Circle" because you're keeping in touch with your friends which can also give you the ability to check up on homework you might have that's going to be due soon or the other way around. According to the article doctors and therapists worry about teens however the case may be because this subject of texting is still so new that there hasn't really been a lot of studies or tests about it so they don't know exactly how dangerous texting can be yet so until they get more information they're using a very close estimate to give readers a taste of what they're currently studying trying to get more information on.

In conclusion of what I’ve wrote this is a brief summary of the article I’ve read by Katie Hafner based on mainly the subject of texting and how it can be good.. but also bad for us.
