I believe that the conflict is man vs. self. I think this way because the man is fighting to find a way out of the building. When his friend refuses to go with the group but asks to send help for him. When he sends people up there for help even though they were on their way up there. He felt he was rushing them and they might have survived.

How many students can honestly say they never done drugs before? Well many teens today are doing drugs. Some do it to fit in and some do it to relieve stress they think they have in their lives.

 * Journal Prompt 4.** Find an [|advertising slogan] and write a descriptive paragraph about what an ad for that slogan should contain: discuss target audience, sensory details, and purpose. 1 para

A Clearasil StarClear advertisement. A picture of a girl with long brown hair with really clear skin. A bottle of Clearasil StayClear is on the side of the picture with a memo saying " Clearasil StayClear is gentle, oil-free and conditions your skin. And because it's Clearasil it deep cleans pores too." I think that this is a bad advertisement because the girl could have used a different product to make her skin clear or she could have naturally clear skin. Just because you put an ad with a girl with clear skin and a bottle of Clearasil ClearSkin next to her doesn't mean she uses that product everyday to get the clear skin that she does have.
 * Journal Prompt 5.** Read this [|article] about bad advertisement. Discuss one advertisement you've seen or heard that you believe is poor advertisement--describe the ad so that a person reading your discription could visualize the ad without seeing it. Then discuss why you believe the ad is bad. 2 para

The advertisemnet is a tampax pearl with Serena Williams as the spokes person. Serena Williams and Mother Nature is on the tennis court with Serena Williams with a tennis racket in hand hitting a tennis ball at Mother Nature. Mother Nature is holding a present to say that her monthly gift is here. There is a memo at the bottom of the advertisement saying "Serena Williams isn't about to let Mother Nature's Monthly Gift ruin her game. That's why a champion like her trusts the unique LeakGuard protection of Tampax Pearl." This is a good advertisement because the ad is saying that taxpax pearl can beat Mother Nature so she can go on and play her daily sport. In the ad Serena will be going doing her routine of playing tennis and Mother Nature will not ruin that when you are wearing tampax peral. It makes it seem like tampax peral can "outsmart" Mother Nature in no matter what you do.
 * Journal Prompt 6.** Search the internet or a magazing to find a "good" advertisement. Describe the ad so that a reader may visualize it without seeing the ad. Discuss why you believe the advertisement is good. 2 para

Some of the social behaviors tweens demonstrate is wearing to much make up, wearing provocative clothes and sexual behavior at a young age. Tweens are trying to act older than what they are. Tweens want to fit into the older crowd and prove that that are cool engouh to hangout with them. Tweens do not need to be doing these things they just need to act their age.

What other examples (at least 2) can you think of where individuals engage in group think in a dangerous manner? 1 para

One example individuals engage in dangerous group think is being apart of gangs or orgainzed crime. People in these orgainzed crimes just kill other people without thinking of the eccfects of those people families; and every memeber does it even though they do not like it just to be apart or that crowd. Another example people engage in dangerous group think is drunk driving. These drunk people do not think anout the effects there dangerous driving will bring on other people and themselves. They fell they have no control over their actions and they being to do dangerous things while drunk driving.
