Do you think Smith ("The Wife Beater") should have spent more time in this essay on developing the cause-and-effect relationship, if any, between the "wife beater" shirt and family violence? What additional information would she have to provide?
I think he should have spent more time in the essay he could've included what others had to say about both so the full feeling of the effect can be understood.

What effects positive or negative do you think television has had on your life? What would your life be like without it?
I have both positive and negative effects of television. The positive efect is that I learn more about the outside world. Another effect is that I really like it. The negative effect is that I spend alot of time in front of the television. I find myself putting the television before alot of things that I need to do. Another negative effect is that I tend to push people away due to watching television. I believe that my life would be good and bad without it.
