How many times this happened to you? You sit by the computer at your job place during your work time and you trying to send a private e-mail or browsing on line when your manager walks in and sees you wasting valuable time. Monitoring employees' use of company computers, e-mail, and the internet involve the same basic issues as come into play with general searches at work, telephone monitoring, and video surveillance. Those basic issues revolve around letting employees know that as far as work is concerned, they have no expectation of privacy in their use of company premises, facilities, or resources and they are subject to monitoring at all times. Naturally, reason and common sense supply some understandable limitations, such as no video cameras in employee restrooms, and no forced searches of someone's clothing or body, but beyond that, almost anything is possible in the areas of searches and monitoring. >>>>>> is this good begging with a hook and is the thesis statement should be incorporated into the beginning of the paragraph or only in the research question?

the global econmy

as a consumer I play a big part in global economy. By buying products from different countries we create global economy. there is one basic law of economics 101 "supply and demand." people are willing to pay money for goods that make their live easier. costumers are looking for the lowest price possible. this create so called race to the bottom where the poorest countries produce goods for less money. on American market we can find most of the electronic kitchen appliances or all kinds of toys made in china, by buying them we become a part of global economy.

poem

the Levine's poem "What wok is" describes his experience of finding a job.this poem reminds me about the show on Discovery channel called "Pitchmen" where inventors tried to sell their invention in order to make money. They want to work for them self's and be independent. The hopes of breaking big and selling the invention to general public. This relates to me because i constantly thinking about new intentions or make something better.

Economic class...

I grew up in the country that was on the brink of abolishing communistic system. The biggest thing that I remember how my father in order to buy food especially meat and cold cuts went do the store in the evening 6 or 7 pm and had to stand in line trough the whole night and returned in the morning after 10 am. there was no middle class in the communistic system everybody were payed the same. every thing was divided among the people every body had a special cards on which they could buy meat if you don't have special card they couldn't buy it. After the communistic regime have fallen life in Eastern Europe was easier. More merchandise on the self's in the stores. there was open market for goods from other countries. people were happy and wanted that change. that's my experience
