7-year-old Girls with Breasts
I am a person who develop physically well, but others do not have the same pattern. The article "7-years-old Girls with Breasts" by Elizabeth Braw explain a phenomenon that several girls are going through. They are experiencing early puberty that is affecting their lives in different ways as suffer from stress, not focus in school activities, and the use of prohibited substance that also affect their relation with their relatives. Braw states that even though their body mature their main think as a kids. As a mother and woman I understand that early puberty lead to psychology consequence for children.
The kids who bodies develop at tender age take on risk of earlier sexual activities that is associated with pregnancy. When these event occurs at young age children's brain is not work properly because is not full develop. Over the past years ago I was member of an institution that helps poor people in a rural community in Dominican Republic. One of the thing that caught my attention was, when I saw a young girls grabbed a baby in her arm .She barely had 13 years old and was a mother with many responsibility that overwhelmed her mind. She became a girls who changed her mood from happy to uncomfortable, because her body looked as adult and she act according to her age.

Are Illegal Good for the U.S Economy
The article "Are Illegal Immigrant Good for the U.S Economy?" by Walter Ewing reveals that undocumented immigrants help U.S in different ways. Opposite to many people think they pay federal and state income taxes that contribute welfare system, and other aid program which they do not have access to use it. Another statement that Ewing points out is U.S immigration system has to be restructure that led our economic to reach a high level than actually. In my own experience I am completely sure that undocumented Immigrant provide a boost to the U.S economy.
Most of the undocument immigrant are hard workers so the collection of taxes will increase. As a supervisor and assistant manager in a hotel i know how harder they work bacause we have illegal employee in our staff.

Sometime life is complicate in some case people can not manage it and they start to live under a lot pressure. In my own experience I went through it when my father die when I was fifteen. This is an age when teenagers start to dream, but in my case I started to live a reality. I decided to work and interrupt my study that became a hard decision in my life.

The human being has different way of behave when they have to face any event in life. According to the article "Individuals in Groups" by Carol Tavris states that people act different when they are in group. People act different when they are in group.Tavris mentions that in a study group of students who where expose to smoke whose were alone were able to react immediately to safe themselves and locking for help, compare with those who were in group they wait that other reacting. In my opinion people is less acting when they are in group may be this happen because they don't want to take responsibility or don't want to be involve.

According to the article "I know the Truth, So Don't Bother Me with the Facts" by Jeffrey Kluger states that people easily belief in fake statement. Kluger emphasizes that recently research points out two controversial ending one explained that it is not complicate to influence people changed their judgment through alter evidence, but the other one shows that some people were inclined to hold their opinion despite of the fact that they receive. I agree with the author that people can be convince by false statement.
Rumors are statement that running between human being like water in a river, and sometime people belief on them without any prove of it. Kluger states that "people easily deceived by rumors and flat-out lies". In other words people get easy persuade by false comment. In my own experience I saw how a rumor can make people to be fool. Years ago my neighbor were a couple that they seem to have a strong relationship. She was a dedicate wife and lovely mother who took care of them without complaint. He was a men who feel a deep admiration for his wife and family. I remember a day when I was in my room and hear my parents talked about ours neighbor. My father was explaining to my mother that there was a gossip on the street referent to neighbor's wife. It said that on the of the boys was not of her husband. My father was a gentleman who respect others opinion and usually didn't put attention to gossip without any comment or judgment, but at this time he belief on this rumor.
In addition rumors are conjecture that people spread around without enough information about its veracity. A recently incident that happened few days ago is a vanished flight 370 from Malaysia Airline with 239 people on board. There are a lot speculation of how this flight could have disappear without any explication. Some people belief that it was a hijack by terrorists or it was kidnapped by alien, but no one of this statement is true because it lacks of prove.
In conclusion, statement that going from one person to another make people easy belief on them. Sometime they share those rumor like true statement based it just on fake information.

HYPE
Nowadays companies try to promote their product in a way that people get
disturb. According to the article "Hype" by Kalle Lasn states the advertisement act like poison affecting their minds and thoughts. Lans mentions since people open their eyes are looking how companies publicize their goods and services in a frenzy way. Nobody can escape of this annoying thing even in the place where children get educate. I agree that advertisement can be dangerous for human.
There is space where companies shouldn't promote their brand, because some of this product aren't healthy for human consumption. Lasn shows us that "Your kids watch Pepsi and snickers ads in the classroom". In other words firms set up advertisement to persuades our children to drink certain type of product that could be harmful for them. For instance when I was in elementary school my classmate and I usually took a lunch at the cafeteria. There was a place where different companies compete to promote their goods. One of my friends saw a new brand of soda that was recently in the market and decided to buy one. Since that day my friend took a habit of eating with a soda. Time later her addition to drink soda became excessive up to the point of getting kidney problem. As we can see advertisement could persuade people in a way that people became addict of them and cause harm to part of their body.
Lasn in her article emphasizes that "Advertisements are the most prevalent and toxic of the mental pollutant". Ads are the most powerful method that firms use to convince consumer to select their product, but sometime those goods and services have an harmful effect in human being. One of the industry that most heavily market their product are tobacco companies, They spend higher amount of money to persuade customer to smoke. However according to the American Lug Association smoke is responsible to people get disease like lung cancer and emphysema. Ads manipulate people's mind in a way that they don't measure how much damage it cause,
In conclusion advertisement is a excellent method that companies use to market their product, but some of them have an harm effect in human being. Companies like Pepsi and Tobacco tend to use an aggressively publicity to engage household consumed their product when they all ready know that their product aren't healthy.
