"The Myth of the Slippery Bachelor"

Summary:

"The Myth of the Slippery Bachelor" by Belinda Luscombe is about a new study that explains how men aren't as afraid of commitment than women are. The study says, women want to be on their own and want to be independent, men are usually rushing into things like marriage and family. In mens choices of women, different races/religions are not a main factor. But further findings tell a different story, saying the attachment for men and women are the same.

Reaction:

Belinda Luscombe, author of "The Myth of the Slippery Bachelor", quotes, "the mechanisms for attachment for men and women are exactly the same. Just as many men want to get married as women do." (Fisher 52) It's saying that on the topic of marriage and starting a family, men and women are on the same level. It really just depends on the individual person/couple. For example, if you have different experiences with marriage and children, maybe your parents got a divorce. You might want to wait and make sure its the right one.

Saved By the Sell

"Saved by the Sell" by Andrea Ford is about how more and more schools are putting ads in everything the kids do. The arguement is if the ads are bad for the children. Most school boards agreed to change and cover the students locker with numerous amounts of ads. The parents disagree because they have been paying for different programs. By adding many ads, that means that many programs are getting cut. The parents can stop their children from watching television and seeing all the ads but they can't stop them from going to school.
