Directions: In the introduction that follows, indicate the common method that is used. Last week, I was in the kitchen preparing dinner when I heard my nine-year-old daughter shriek from behind the computer. I was so startled that I dropped the knife onto the floor. As I ran to where she was doing her homework, she looked up, obviously stunned, and uttered, “That’s too gross, Mom!” When I looked at the screen, I too was shocked to find an image that was clearly pornographic. Even though I thought I carefully monitored how my children used the computer, I did not realized that one wrong click could bring them to one of the million “adult” sited on the internet. As a concerned parent, I urge all parents to install software on their home computers that blocks access to pornographic websites.

According to data presented by Pew Research Center, 14% (45 million) of all Americans have at least one tattoo (www.statisticbrain.com/tattoo-statistics, 2013). Tattooing has been around for thousands of years. The Polynesians are credited as the first to ornate the body with such modifications.

No one can really pinpoint the reason for the growth, but for those who get them, tattoos are art, fashionable, and personal statements.

Directions: In the introduction that follows, indicate the common method that is used.  In Shakespeare’s Othello, Iago claims that he “who steals my purse steals trash / . . . But he that filches from me my good name / Robs me of that which not enriches him, / And makes me poor indeed” (3.3.157-161). Today, identity theft is a new way that thieves steal both the “purses” and the good names of innocent victims, and these thieves are enriching themselves at the expense of their victims. Identity theft is a serious problem that claims millions of innocent victims, and the government must implement better regulations to help put an end to this crime.
