     The audience of this article would be toward people who are probably a little older not teens mostly beacuse it refers to issues that mostly adults would be concerned with. Teenagers dont usually have grocery cards or read CSO. This article is responding to the issue of privacy with regards to buisnesses and consumers, with commercial transactions and cyberspace cookie-tracking. He uses CSO magazine and also that government records can be found online along with SEC violations. He uses CSO to support his claim with agreeing and using quotes from it and also uses the online records to support his claim. He uses logos alot along with pathos. When he talkes about using a dead persons grocery card this makes you feel almost discusted with those ways. He uses logos when giving hard facts about whats posted on line and how, making the reader come to the logical agreement of his argument. I would not use this article to back up my argument, although he uses a few sources it is too one-sided. His opinion is too blunt not having any understanding for the other side of the argument.

1.This video was about Glen Beck's opinion on how video games are teching kids to kill. He backs this by saying video games evolved from teaching soldiers to shoot people durring World War two. The tone in his voice is discusted by the video game Grand theft auto and the horrible ways to acheive winning the game by having a prostitute or lighting a police officer on fire; these actions that kids see as normal in games, Glen Beck believes is runing children.
2. In his statment about the horrifying game he stated that the game began with teaching soldiers to kill. First, the military used paper targets with body figures on them then began using simulations. The video game, as Beck proclaims, originated from these simiulations to help soldiers be more comfortable with shooting a real human being.
3. In this video Glen Beck is enthusiastic about the horrifying aspects of the game, Grand Theft Auto, and how awful the detriment is to kids. His voice is overwhelming and extreamly biased. He continues to only focus on the sex and prostitutes and mearly speeks of the killing of police officers. He attempts to say that this video game is teaching all children to be killers when really only kids 17 and up can buy it without a parent there. He is preaching about his views without having any solution.

Honestly, I really don't know that much about music piracy, other than what the reading covered. I know that there are sites like limewire and putting peoples songs onto their own ipod, but I wasnt aware that it was an issue so big that artist could see the effects in their income. I have never bought music, I just downlad my friends itunes on to my ipod. I never really thought about how much it could damage the indsustry. I realize that people want everything "free" but if everyone gets everything free then no one will have the ability to make a living.
I read How to Save the Music Buisness. The author really feels in his heart that the music industry is slowly going down the drain because of music piracy. He wants to make people aware of their actions and come to the realization that the music consumers love may disapear beacaue the artist are not getting the income they need. It does support my opinion now that I am aware of the issue, he truly changed the way I will get music.

She portrays herself as this optomistic free spirit. Her photos are either outdoorsy or with friends. She quotes alot of music or says things like, "Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right." Her statuses are qorkey and witty. She wants people to view her as a person you want to be around, someone who would make you smile and always have a good time. Her posts are always agree with this image she is setting for herself, her friends will leave posts talking about how much they miss her simle and goofy ways.

I am using a loner computer so the ads are aiming for a Virginia Tech college student. One advertisment is for Campus Cookies, that company is located in Blacksburg, Virginia usually college kids are the ones to order these cookies. The next advertisment is for housing near Campus for the fall semester 2012, this once again is aimed for a college student who goes to Virginia Tech. This ad is not aimed for my likes directly but for a more broad range of people. The next ad is about playing Marvel "to help save the world" this is definently not directed toward me considering I have never even heard of the game Marvel until just now. The last advertisment presented to me on this page is about a webiste that can make math easy. I particural am good at math so this ad would not attract my eye in any way; plus the word math on facebook probably gets overlooked quite often.
