        Technology is more develop in the world. It is very important for a person. Sometimes, some people use technology for their benefits. However, most of the times technology help people so much for their lives but sometimes it is terrible.
          In the movie Meatrix people use technology in factory farms. In addition, the movie use cartons to show us how family farms are better than factory farms. The factory farms have different kinds of problems. These have small space, dirty and out side pollution and in side diseases. The factory farms have meatpacking plant and these work quickly. Furthermore, most of the times workers get sick.
            There are so many factory farms because of money. Factory farms can reduce cost and service quickly. Therefore, they will get more customers and make more money. The government is so happy about factory farms because gets more tax. When I saw animals are living in the factory farms, I fell so sad because all animals live closely packed.
             I think, if I agree with family farms, it will be very benefits for our lives and animals. In there a lot of spaces for animals and don’t need extra antibiotic for them. If we don’t give extra antibiotic, it will help to get healthy food for our lives.

              Many teenagers work in America to support themselves and their family. It can have a lot of good and bad effects on the teenager.  
               Reseachers have found that most 10th, 11th and 12th graders works to earn spending money for themselves but they fall behind in school. It can increase a students self esteem, but it can also influence them to drop out of school. Experiments also show that drop out rates are higher in some certain jobs. They suggest that students should join extra curricular activities and not work because it will build their educating skills while work makes them run after money. 
                The work of students can also help the community. One article talks about teenagers helping in the nursing homes. About 15 teenagers led by Stacey Squatrito have been visiting the nursing homes for two years and gives makeovers to women in nursing homes. Stacey created  the first Colorado chapter of GlamourGals, which is a national nonprofit that provides free makeovers to women in nursing homes using donated makeup. She has been facing several diseases throughout her high school years, but she grew strong from her experiences and decided to help others. This organization helped her live everyday happy and embrace everyday. This shows that teenagers can work and help others and the community.
