"haha", he said "Haha" Response

In this article the author was attacking something he really really seemed to despise, and what he despised was laugh tracks. laugh tracks are the fake laughter added on to shows to make people laugh along with them. throughout the entire article he bashes the use of laugh tracks in many shows and says how they should not be in shows at all. The author also says that in the future there will not be any laugh tracks anymore and people will read his article and not know what he is talking about unless they watch a show from the 70's. He believes that the laugh track is dumbing people down into laughter when something actually isn't funny at all. The author also goes on to say that the laugh track (not being the entire reason) is making us as U.S. people laugh for no reason, making it a part of our society. He says how he lived in Germany and nobody over there laughed for no reason at all unless it was actually funny to them, and over here we laugh as a filler. The way he explains his point made me also think that he is completely right. Those laugh tracks do piss me off sometimes because somethings not funny, yet it makes people laugh at them. Also I notice now how some of the laughter we add in conversations is pointless and unneeded.

Topic Introduction

The topic I am writing about is about the use of lethal force for police officers. I chose to write about this topic because I have always been interested in an officers choice to use lethal force, and what happens when he does. There is also many articles and laws about this so i believe i wont have much trouble finding information and articles to read and write about. I know some information already regarding this topic, which is another reason I am writing about it because I feel like I have a head start for this paper which we have to write. I still have some questions about this paper which I hope to answer before I start to write it. One of my questions is how do I start my research, although I do know where to find my information. I know I am looking for articles and journals but I want to know how to start  to look and what kinds of information would be the most suitable for my paper. Also i would like to peoples opinions on lethal force. Some people feel cops should shot back sooner than they actually do. Then others feel like cops shouldn't shoot at the person til they are shot at themselves. I would like to know how people feel about the two.

Annotated Practice

David Thacher "The Distribution of Police Protection." Journal of Quantitative Criminology 10940 (2010). Print.


The author of this article focuses mainly on the positioning of police. This article talks about where police are distributed and how that effects crimes. Also in the article it talks about police protection when dealing with race and class. It tells how there are less police protecting a rougher neighborhood then there are protecting a richer one. The author also tells how police inequality has grown since the 1970's, because of the lack of distribution of police in poorer neighborhoods. He also tells how crime rate has fallen every little because of the lack of police, but the violent crime has increased.

Attached to technology and paying the priice response

I found myself to really like reading this article, this is surprising to me because i usually hate to read anything. Also i thought it was suiting to read it online because that's what the article portrays to is all about online, and other technology. i was surprised to read about all the research being conducted about the use and how people are multitasking and other things. I was also shocked about know much Mr. Campbell relays on the internet and how he is actually "addicted" to it.I understand its his job but if he cant even go a single day on vacation without checking something that's bad news.
After reading the article, "Attached to Technology and Paying the Price" I realized that i find myself doing a lot of the things that the Campbell family does. I am not anywhere near as bad as they are with technology but i will find myself with several tabs open and i always check my facebook and e-mails like they do. i always have music on just like them and I feel like i multitask very well. I can be doing homework, listening to music and checking facebook, and sometimes even more things.
I truly did enjoy this article and I am happy i read it. I will now try not to let my own life be taken over by technology like these people's are. I understand that that's what he does for a living, and he seems very successful, but i wouldn't want my own life to revolve around the internet and technology like his does.
