PBS Reaction

Women in Computer Science fields is easily one of the main problems that need to be addressed in the United States. Our competitors are breeding intelligent women who are changing the internet for the better, America needs to follow in their footsteps.

Computer Science in America is definetly a mostly male profession  and it is because of this that other countries are becoming more powerful than the US,the internet is the future of mankind and having diversity in it is the key to power. The idea of a mandatory class of Computer Science in college is a great idea and it has the potential of closing off the idea of gender specific employments.

Our competitors are breeding intelligent women who are changing the internet for the better, America needs to follow in their footsteps. To do this Southern Connecticut and all other universities should create mandatory Computer Science classes early on during a college students school career.

What is Beauty?

Beauty is a term that has lost its true meaning over the past 50 years.Women have been brainwashed by global media, music, and American culture into thinking that to be "attractive" they have to cover up their faces with chemicals. Beauty has evolved from inner confidence, uniqueness, and naturalism into solely physical attraction. This problem hasn't just affected women but also men and how we approach women. As days pass and I mature i slowly realize how music has affected the way I and every other American male thinks about women. I walk around my school campus listening to songs where the artist talks about how many women he's been with and how "I break they back and don't call em". Normally I'd continue and say that was a good line but I've realized that that's all I and most other guys want to do. No one wants to settle down and stay committed to one girl which in turn makes some women self conscious and forces them to "only leave the house with make-up on" and when they don't it's a big problem. Guys focus on female bodies and call them "bad bitches" females see this and try to look like something they're not just so that they can feel inner security and feel "wanted". Beauty is not that ass or those tits, it's inner confidence and feeling comfortable with yourself where if a man doesn't notice you well then that's too bad for him. Don't get caught up in stereotypes where you have to put on pounds of make-up to feel good and be yourself, you'll have guys running after you once they get to know you. The good ones are the ones who will notice you so don't worry about the few that don't

Kant vs. Utilitarianism

         Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) created Kantian ethics and eventually became the father of ethics. Kantian ethics at its most basic form is the idea that "good will" is the mandatory for an action to be considered morally good. An example of this idea is if I let someone have a cookie but once I give them that cookie I expect something in return eventually. Instead of just giving them a cookie to eat. Kantian ethics also points out the idea that we as humans are defined by rationality and autonomy. We should never use people to get what we need without thinking about what would happen to them.
         Utilitarianism is the counterpart to Kantian ethics and it is advocated by Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill. Utilitarianism in its most basic form is the idea that a good action is something that should create more pleasure/happiness then pain. An example of this is if you can foresee the future and in that future their is a tyrannical leader who tortures and kills thousands of people and because you see this future you decide to kill that person before he hurts anybody. The only two pleasures we as humans can feel are intellectual and bodily but it is forbidden to put your happiness above someone else's.
         In my own opinion I believe Utilitarianism makes more sense and is the better idea of the two. We as people are always after what is best for us bodily and intellectually and we shouldn't put our happiness over someone else's.
                                                   acts with good will leads to happiness
                                                         happiness leads to a good life
                                                    acts with good will lead to a good life

Community

A community can be defined in hundreds of ways. Some would say a community is a group of people in one area, while others would say it's when a group of people all have a common interest.

In my opinion a community is a area where more than 10 families live. There can be communities in streets or suburbs as long as more than 10 families are there.
