HTML Codes

HTML codes are defined as the artificial language that is primarily known to be used in the World Wide Web. It is a system of codes, abbreviations in the form of hyper text that indicates how a document or web page should be interpreted. This could be used to unravel a block of codes in order for the web page to result in the way that it should appear. The technology of the Hyper Text Markup Language does not only create web pages but it links the web pages to one another and it also allows for certain information to be linked to files on any computer that is connected to the internet. Therefore it becomes a lot organized and easier to search for something and access it on the internet no matter where the computer may be.
HTML language was first established to facilitate the link of documents through the internet. As time went by it became easier for others to learn the programming of HTML which led to a series of internet browsers. One of the first and most popular internet browsers is Netscape; this was one of the first to support HTML and JavaScript. The fact that HTML was not difficult to acquire led to an increase in companies making web pages but it also created problems in the web links because one web page would be portrayed just fine on one browser but it became difficult for it to be portrayed like that in a series of browsers. The problems continued up until the upcoming of the World Wide Web which introduced a more standardized HTML that was able to solve the problems of the web pages and the browsers.
I feel that the internet and the organization of the web pages just facilitated the lives of everyone across the world. It allows for information to be accessed in such a convenient way. I feel that the invention of the internet, web pages, and browsers is pure genius in the way that people are able to attain the knowledge of HTML coding and process it in such a uniform matter.

"Random Family"

After reading the first couple chapters of the book, there has been a lot of conflicts that deal with teen pregnancy, drugs, rape, and lack of education. The modern format and style that the book is written has made it interesting and easier to read because I am able to relate to the language. There are many characters and they are all related through friendships, love affairs, or drugs. These are some of the issues that people are still dealing with in todays society. There is still a high percentage of teen pregnancies and the household income is less than average. These families not only have to worry about paying the rent and bills, they also have to take care of their children. In Jessica's case for example, she is living in an overcrowded apartment along with her daughters where food is limited, or if any at all. It is very difficult for me to read about the adversities that the latin community has gone through and are still trying to overcome. It seems that istead of helping the situation they make it worse by dropping out of school and dealing drugs. I feel that the latinos have placed a negative stereotype toward themselves. I am lookin forward to finishing the book and reading about the ways that they have overcome difficult situations.

"The Case of Sean Bell"

I do not agree with the way that the police dealt with the situation of the Sean Bell incident. I think that they all had training and should have been well prepared to deal with situations such as these. The police claims that they felt threatened by the unarmed victims, because it was believed and rumored that they had weapons. The police officers assumptions and actions caused Sean Bell his life, and his friend to be paralyzed. If indeed the police felt threatened they should not have resorted to shooting their guns, and even if they did, it was not necessary to shoot 50 bullets. There was something clearly wrong with this because that cop’s intention was for Sean Bell and his friends to be left dead. Suspicions of whether it was a cause of racism remains questionable, and I want to believe that it wasn’t. Sean Bell left behind his fiancé and daughter along with his plans of getting married the following day, just because the police officers made a mistake. Evidence shows that Sean Bell and his friends were not armed. Therefore I believe that the police officers should be punished just like any other person would be. They should serve some time in jail and some type of murder charge should be charged against them.

"The Celeb Life"

If I were a celebrity I personally would not be able to handle the stress of the paparazzi always invading the privacy of my life. Celebrities have to cope with the rumors that are being said about them all the time. There have been many rumors of cheating taking place and the tabloids even have deceiving pictures to make the public believe that it is true. This has resulted in jealousy and distrust among celebrity marriages; hence, one of the main causes for divorce. At first people want to be famous because they want the attention and glamour that comes along with being a celebrity, but after a while it becomes difficult to live with the fact that you cant even go to the corner store because of fear of who will see you. It becomes impossible to live a “normal life” and have a family and be able to do ordinary things such as taking a walk with your son or daughter. For many these consequences outweigh the reasons to want to be a celebrity. I prefer to live my life without fear of my secrets and personal life being revealed.

"Scary movies"

People watch scary movies for the thrill and excitement, regardless if they know that that they will be scared. We live in a country were we view violence as entertainment. We are constantly focusing on shootings, gang fights, murders, robberies etc, and even though we want there to be world peace we also enjoy gossiping about tragic events. Tragic events are everywhere that even if we wanted to avoid them we cant because just by turning on the television the latest shootings and stabbings have made headlines. I am a type of person that I will get scared to watch a scary movie, yet they are one of my favorites to watch. I enjoy the mystery of figuring out who is the killer or the next victim. I cant really explain the reason why, I just enjoy knowing I will get scared by watching a film and I find it to be funny to see my friends and family scared.

" Birth Control Policy"

I think that it is immoral that the Chinese government uses sterilization and abortion to reduce the Chinese population. Women should not be told what should be done with their bodies it should be an independent choice to abort a child. The Chinese government threatens these women by telling them that if they do not go through the operation they will be fined. I think that it is ridiculous how they have to abort and if they don’t then they have to pay. This has also caused many problems which have resulted in women fleeing from town to town just to avoid being forced to give up their child. I think that there should be a better way to resolve the issue of over population.

"Presidency"

I would like the next president to have several important characteristics that are essential in leading a country that is at war. First I would like the war to come to an end because there is no significant reason as to why we are still bombing another country, it has been made clear that there are no weapons of mass destruction. We are not welcomed in Afgha, or Lebanon and every other place that we have bombed, we are just causing deaths not only in the people who live in Lebanon but also the deaths of American soldiers. I would want the next president to be intelligent and be able to make wise decisions, he/she would have to be decisive, tough, fair and have experience. The issue of always having a white male president is one that is going to be challenged in the up coming elections. I would love to see a woman, or an African American as president, but it would have to be the right woman and the right African American. Personally I do not like Clinton, I would not vote for her because I do not think that she would serve as a good president. She has contradicted herself plenty of times which makes her indecisive. At first she said that she was pro war and now she says that she wants to put an ending to the war. It seems as though she’s just telling the people what they want to hear in order to get approval of votes. Obama in the other hand seems like a very genuine person and I think that I would like him if it were not for his age and lack of experience. I have never heard of him doing anything productive, I just know him as a African American man who wants to run for presidency. The vote on the next president is one that on my behalf will have nothing to do with race or gender, it is simply about who will be the next great leader and role model of our country.
