Blog 19 Stuff



Everyday minors like this people work on unsafe condition and sometimes they die just because they are looking for little pieces of gold at unsafe places.










  • About 75% of the time when minors find a product underground it most gold and we use it for jewelry. Not all country have a gold land some country like south Africa is the biggest supplier currently providing the worlds gold.
                                          
  • When gold is found underground it not just look like a ring or a jewelry but it looks like little pieces ore gold(ore)  and before it becomes a ring it takes process 





The cyanide ion, CN.
From the top:
1. Valence-bond structure
2. Space-filling model
3. Electrostatic potential surface
4. "Carbon lone pair" HOMO/LUMO


1.when gold(ore) is found many toxic, metals like cadmium and other stuff are surrounding it so they pour a chemical called Cyanide to separate the chemicals apart.

2.The toxic puddle get jumbled together with all the mining waste to create a big toxic mess which often ends up in the river and lakes, and then people drink it.



What do you think the true cost of this item?
To be honest the hundred dollars we pay for gold is not the truth cost, I believe the truth cost cannot just be hundred or millions of dollars but maybe billions of dollars and I will explain why: Gold is not a easy thing to find some times you have to go really deep underground just to find one little pieces and the person whom is searching is in danger every time he enters underground. And when gold is found not only do they just sell it to us they use toxic chemical to clean it and make it into jewelry and what they do with the toxic the release it to river and lakes and animals die and human drink it and we become in danger of a get sick and die.To be honest I think we should stop looking for gold underground if worker are put in unsafe conditions every day and Toxic chemicals are going to be used.

In The $2 camisole: How cheap is ruining our lives by Mary Elizabeth Williams explains how we are paying for stuff that we are not really paying for for example a the kindle we are only paying for half the price not the full price and when a new one comes out we go and get it not thing about the affects.going out and get a new one all the time burns many plastic and some contain toxic that can harm human.even know we know what happen ever time we get new thing we just keep geting it, it like we want to be updated all the time with new things.Geting new thing just keeps me happy that why i bhuy almost every new tect that comes out.

Reason 1: those bargains come at a cost -- to workers here and abroad, to the environment, and to our own increasingly superficial relationship with our possessions.
Example:Every time we buy someing new we are destoying the enviroment.

Reason 2: it's just that shouldn't some things , be valued more?
Example: when the product cost more we will not be able to buy it all the time and we can save the environment

17: Reflection on Blogging

  1. how blogging has helped you improve your writing?
Blogging has help me improve my writing in many ways for example when i first started i thought i was good enough in my writing but at the weeks went by i started getting batter and better i new what i was writing about i stayed on the topic and i had more ideas as i was writing.
  1. what you could have done more or differently.
What i could have done batter in most of my writing is explain more on my thesis and show some example to support my main idea and the writers main idea.
 if i was to take this class again what i will do differently is write more and put more details in my writing.

Blog 16: The New Industrial

The New Industrial migrants by Eric schlosser explain how large amount of people from Mexico,central America and southeast  Asia come and take over jobs.The Immigrant that come to take over our
job don't have their papers to work or the right to come to this country.The immigrant that come here to work most of them work at the beef factor and ther get paid about 9.25 an hour and gets vacation and insurance when work on the job for about 6 mouths or 1 year. Most Immigratent don't even live in a good condition area some live in old motels (shared by other immigrant) and sleep on a mattress that cover the floor.

The New Industrial migrants by Eric schlosser explain why company's pick immigrant from other country to work IBP.The IBP company pick immigrant from other country because the money. An immigrant will accent any pay and work long hours an American Citizen will want more money and will work less hours. Not only is the company hiring immigrant which is illegal if ther don't have their paper to work,but their are ordering buses to pick them from Mexico and bring them to working the US.Even know this is illegal.Spokman for the IBP company said "We do not knowingly hire undocumented workers"denying the Truth.

I don't agree with this because it seems that we the American citizen whom we have the rite  to work and ask for more money if the boss is not paying us enough his losing our jobs and giving the jobs to the immigrant.it seems that the IBP company goes to plan B to hire immigrant that won't complain about their job. Every day an American citizen is looking for a job and he or she can't find one because the immigrant have taken it and that person have work hard to get a job in the future and so the immigrant have to do is go ask for a job and hes hired without no question or papers asked.wow an immigrant can get payed about 9.25 an hour,some citizens don't even get pay that much.I don't think this is right because some people work hard to get a job in the future and don't all because of the immigrant. I believe the laws for not allowing immigrant to work to get tougher because when the laws get tougher company's are going to stop hiring immigrant and many jobs will be open to the people whom work hard for it.

Nancy jo of "how to Do one thing at a time "explains how our brain can only remember or at it best when thing are done one at a time, Onlike sometimes we will be texting and driving and sometimes talking  on the phone while driving.An experiment was giving to group of student. The first group was doing more than two thing at ones ther were chatting,compilling a music playlist and writing an essay,The secound grup did one thing at a time for 10 minutes and resuit show the brain is at it best when thing are done one at a time.his it a good idea to turn off your phone when drive even know you may missed an important email?

In my belive "yes" you should turn off your phone when you are driving.Checking an email while driving can be the most digorose thing you can do,because when youare driving and an email comes in your focus is no lnoger on driving is on the email and that could cause an accident and you can get yourself killed or someone killed.

When we are driving it we must be 100% focus on the road becuse ther's so many thing go on, a truck can come by and get infornt of you a car stop because the red light is on and when we have our cell phone on we are not all that focus we about 50% focus on the road and 50% on what going to pop up next on the cell phone.

I have tried taking on the phone while driving and i thought i had 100% focus on the road so i picked up the phone stated talking to my frend and LoL and for a min I hit a cars light and i tried to remember ow it happen but I only could rememeber what my frend was talking about.

Sometime we have to turn of our phone because it for our safty.
