Do you think that U.S citizens who smoke are victims of discrimination?

Im on the fencce about this question. Before reading the passage my opinon was that they were being discrimanated againest. Smoking is something that people are allowed to do. Smokers in this era have stricter rules to obyed by for example smoking in public places, smoke free resturants, and is harder to even buy cigs. After reading the passage and discovering the health problems that the writer Judy Wilson went through, the statistics, and the government state laws my position changed. I think that people are just trying to keep a healthy envioronment. the stricter the government is on smokers, the less people will smoke, which saves lives.

Primary Colors

When reading Primary colors, you realize that rasicm happens to everyone during any situation. The author's purpose was to inform. she wanted to portray her story of rasicm. She wanted her audience to know her experience and what she learned from it. I think that it is diffucult dealing with diversity. People deal with it everyday. In my past experience i've dealt with diversity because of my skin color. there was a time where i was at a mall that i never been to, i didn't feel welcomed. i knew it was because of my skin color. it was prodominatley white people and i felt uncomfortable. Diversity takes place in many forms, it doesn't matter who you are.
