I Chose The First Statement :

1.) To decrease the risk of cervical cancer, teenage girls should be required to get the HPV Vaccine.

Studies have shown that HPV leads to cervical cancer. To Prevent And Reduce The Rick Of Contracting Cervical Cancer The HPV Vaccine Was Developed. In An Attempt To Lower The Risk Of Developing Cervical Cancer , Teenage Girls Should Take The Vaccine However They Should Not Be Required To Take It. Like Most Vaccines , There Are Side Affects That May Be Life Threatening. Although These Symptoms Are Rare , Recent Studies Have Shown That There Are Serious Side Effects. For This Fact, One Must Have The Right To Choose Whether Or Not To Take The Vaccine. However, I Can Vouch For This Vaccine As A Recipient Of This Vaccine. I Felt No Side Affects What So Ever After I Received The Series Of Shot. I'm Aware That My Experience Is Only One Minor Experience In Comparison To Other Girls . However My Experience Adds On To Those Of Other Girls Who Felt No Major Difference One She Received The Vaccine.

In This Times Magazine Article, The Author Speaks About A Recent Law That Passed In Arizona That Prohibits Ethnic Study Programs With In Public School . Supporters Of This Law State That The Ethnic Studies Programs Teaches Minority Students That They Are Oppressed By White People. However, This Law Is Just Ignoring The Truth And Promotes Ignorance. It Is Fact That Through Out The History Of America , The White Race Has Oppressed Races Like African Americans . Also People Should Have The Right To Learn About Their Own Culture . No One Should Have The Authority To Say That You Can Not Learn About Your Culture . This Law Is In Fact Is A Contradiction To The Purpose Of This Law Because It Is Oppressing Minorities From Learning About Their Own Culture.

Supporters Of This Law State That The Goal Of This Legislation Is To Prohibit Schools From Informing Minority Students That They Are Oppressed By White People . However, This Is In Fact True ; White People Have Oppressed Minorities And This Can Be Seen Through Out History . The First Group Of Minorities Which They Oppressed Was The Indians. White People Stole Their Lands By Any Means And Then Later Forced Them Off Their Land And Sent Them To Live In A Part Of The United States Which They Deemed Inhabitable. This In History Is Known As The Trail Of Tears. White People Had Stunted The Success Of The Native American People By Taking Their Land And Forcing Them To Assimilate. Another Group That Was Oppressed By White People Are African Americans. After Slavery Was Banned, They Passed Laws That Made It Difficult For Them To Vote . They Had Oppressed The Blacks In Having A Say In What Goes On In The Country . Also They Had Segregated School In Which Whites More Then Often Received A Better Education. This Law Is Basically Trying To Erase The Fact That The White Culture Has Oppressed Many People.In Fact, This Law Is Just Oppressing Minority Groups Like Latinos. It's Inhibitor Them From Learning About Their Own Culture

Image One - Golden Gate Bridge

Image Two -Brooklyn Bridge

One Obvious Similarity Between These Two Images Is That They Are Both Bridges. They Are Both Also Above Water. The Structure Of The Bridges Are Also Similar . The Golden Gate Bridge And The Brooklyn Bridge Both Have A Some What U-Shape Structure And Have A Cris Cross Type Pattern At The Bottom . However , The Scenery Is Where The Differences Are Most Visible. The Golden Gate Bridge Is Surrounded By Rocks And Fog. The Brooklyn Bridge Is Surrounded By Sky Scrapers. Another Difference Between The Two Is That The Destination Of Image Two Is Fairly Obvious (The Destination Being The City) . The Destination Of Image One Is Ambiguous . Also , One Image Is In Color While The Other Is In Black And White.

I Would Use Subject By Subject Organization To Analyze The Photos . I would Use This Method Because I Find It Easier Then Picking Out One Point At A Time. I Think It Takes Less Time But Is Still Effective .
