Assignment 10

The main point of this article is to show how companies like Walmart and Target aren't allowing employee's rights from being practiced and are spying at them. The supporting details that the author uses are two stories. One about a Walmart employee giving a discount to a customer for a videogame and had a six hour interrogation. The other story is when Target took 12 of their employees and locked them in their office for six to ten hours and then arrested them. No I haven't experienced any unfair treatment in the workplace.

Assignment 9

The three major changes that have taken place are that teachers are paying more attention to the violent material in writing assignments, staff members are speaking out to student who might have these problems and are taking it more seriously, and parents are being informed if their child is dangering themselves and others. I agree with the changes that are mentioned because staff members are just trying to make it a safer place by addressing problems that students might be facing and finding a solution before something bad happens. The problem that many faculty members realized that there isn't any privacy of a student's life and could ask anything to them. And there rules are based on a student's behavior in class and the writing assignments so they could easily find out if someone has problems.
