How would you react if you, or someone you knew had a break-in or burglary? according to the clerk at the Flint Police Department, there were 876 actual burglaries committed during the last quarter of 2007, October 1, through December 31.

Speaking from first hand experience, I've had several burglaries also. That is why I invented a magnetic dead-bolt lock. The major features of the lock are to control break-ins, or burglaries, increase personal safety in the home, and designed to be a significant improvement over present day security lock devices. A magnetic key is needed to unlock the mechanism.

Presently, I am working on having a prototype or sample lock made to work out the bugs in it. That way I can decide if I should pursue it, and put it on the market.

Popular Culture

Popular Culture means the influence of other peoples' ideas, suggestions, and thouoghts on another group. These negative ideas and thoughts undermine the morals, traditions, and standards of parents for their children at an early age. These ideas come through the medium of radio, magazines, books, as well as television.
However, positive ideas should be exploited in particular. As Americans, we have the responsibility of exporting products of good or exceptional quality,which includes popular culture. Although the consumer is somewhat responsible for what he or she consumes, they should not shoulder the burden entirely.
The people who author the scripts for books, magazines, radio, and television should be held accountable to the export regulations for what they produce. An example of good quality telivision is the show, "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?"

argumentative writing

Argumentative writing gives a person a chance to discuss his or her point of view about a particular subject. An example would be my desire to write career stories for young children. I strongly feel that they should start thinking about careers early, say in kindergarten and first grade. This will give them a chance to think about a certain career, change their minds, and explore the many possibilities and options open to them. It would also give them new ideas for some unusual career choices; such as a smokologist, vulcanologist, or a taxidermist. Along with these different careers, I will include some well known ones, attorney, doctor, teacher, biologist, and nurse. I will introduce vocabulary words related to each topic or career.

I don't have the e-mail addresses of the other students in my group,can you help me get those of the ones in my group? Mattie C. [we did the milk chocolate candy].
