Summary:
In Afghan,when you have a good position , people look at you differently. If you have a son, you can let any other people be more pride of you. But the problem is whether you have son or not, the tradition will be continued.
Feedback/Comment:
This is not my first time to heard that some prople need to disguise girls as boys. In some regines, women is not able to show their face to anyone. It may cause from their religion, or the tradition. But the example in Afghan is confused me. Why did the woman in Afghan so week? Though the tradition of disguising girls as boys continued lots of years, did all the people in Afghan recognized it? If someone could't accept it, why not organize a group to overthrow it? I think the problem in Afghan is important, and my comment is that we can face the question positively.
Disscussion issues:
1.If you are the femail live in Afghan, would you want to disguise a girl as a boy?

Summary:
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security﹝DHS﹞ was trying to predict the future. They use body sensors,cardiovascular and respiratory sensor to measure heart rate and breathing. Stephen Fienberg, a professor of statistics and social science at Carnegie Mellon University, is one of the most vocal skeptics. In 2003 he found polygraph testing too imprecise for use as a screening tool in government hiring. “It’s mainly baloney,” he says. “What evidence do we have coming out of physiology, psychology, or brain imaging that we can do any of this? Almost all of what I’ve seen and heard is hype.” But the DHS still attempt to something new and hope it works.
Feedback/Comment:
Although it can predict the face and catch the signal that are undetectable to the naked eye,I think it is not very useful. Sometimes the sensor of airport make mistake. And if I were the passenger, I don't like to pass so many sensors when I want to have a good time vacation.But the idea to predict hostile actor is good.After the 911 event,many counties start to previde these things happen again.So we need to spend much time throuth the custom nowadays.I hope the scientist can develope much more high technology science products in the future.And at that time, we can pass the custom easily but still reach the goal they want to examine.
Discusion issues:
1.If the predict future sensor successfully works, it may cause some problems,such us?
