Mum's catching up with me...on Facebook

1) What were the reasons given by Facebook parent , Rashida Husian, when she requests access to the networking sites and also to what her children had put online?


Useful for keeping track of her children and their friends.
To keep in touch with them.
She also leaves them words of encouragement when she feels they need some.
She befriended 10 of her children's friends but only their closest friends and those she has met in person.

2) Do you think it is a good idea to accept requests by your parents to add them readily to your friend's list on the Facebook? Why?

I think it is not a good idea as if concidently your parent does not like any of your friend, your parent will stop you from making friends with them but still to some certain extent, i think that it is good a idea because as if anything happens to you, your parent will know where and how to look for you.

Sorry guys, these lots are not for you

1)What were some of the reasons cited in the article why there was a need to have parking lots for women only in these building.

To help parents, especially those with young children, load and unload bulky prams more easily.
Prevents parents from accidentally scratching neighbouring cars when they unload prams.
Convenient and they only have to walk up the ramp to reach the entrance to the hotel lobby
Less tiring for women especially when they are in heels.
Some women feel safer parking nearer to the entrance .


2a) In your opinion, do you think it is necessary to allocate parking lots for women only? Why?
Yes, but is only to women with children.

It is because those women with children would have difficulties unloading those prams and while unloading the prams if no one taking care of their children it would be very difficult for them to unload the pram and take care of their children. But as for women who are wearing heels or without children. As they do not have troubles with unloading things or taking care of children. Wearing heels is not an excuse, they could have just wore slippers or wear shoes that are comfortable.



b) Which group of people do you then feel should be allocated such priority parking? Explain.

Parents with children below the age of 10 and drivers with elderly. This is easier for the drivers to unload things and taking care of their children. As they can take care of their children instead of letting them running around the carpark. Drivers with elderly should also allocate a priority parking near the lobby. This could enable the elderly to walk a shorter distance and this could unload their tiredness and strength walking to the lobby.
