How would you like an easy way to earn $2,500? All you have to do is to sit around and wait for your meals. There's a catch, however. You have to stay in a chicken cage with a stranger for a whole week. There are no books or television or radio for a whole week. There are no books or television or radio for amusement. You can't leave until the week is up. And a camera will be recording your every move.
Two people actually took the job. The idea came from Rob Thompson, a video artist. He wanted to make film about the way animals are treated. His goal was to raise people's awareness of the living conditions of animals that are raised for food. He decided to pay $5,000 out of his own savings to two people who were willing to live like chickens for a week.
To Rob's surprise, quite a few people answered his advertisement. He had interviews and selected Eric, a 24-year-old restaurant worker, and Pam, a 27-year-old chemist. The plan was for them to spend seven days together in a chicken cage that was six feet long and three feet wide. A camera would record their experience, which would take place in an art museum.
The week was long and difficult. They slept on hard wooden floor. They couldn't stand up without banging their heads. They ate mash (a kind of food for animals) and drink water from a garden pipe. Their only privacy was a toilet surrounded by a curtain, which was the most unbearable. There were no sinks, mirrors or toothbrushes in the cage. Visitors who came here were warned, “Do not feed the humans.”
Finally, it was over, and Pam and Eric came out of the cage. They had survived the week and they each had a $2,500 check in their hands. When Rob Thompson opened the cage, Eric came out, changed into clean clothes, and ate a chocolate bar right away. "It's great for me to be able to stand up." he said. Pam just changed her clothes and left. After a week of visitors and reporters watching her, she didn't want to talk to anyone.

According to National Education Assn, statistics indicate that about 282,000 students in secondary schools each month are physically attacked and 90% of them report being victims of bullying.

How many deadly shootings on school campuses has our nation witnessed in recent years? According to reports, many were tied to a history of school bullying, and revenge was the shooters' motivation.
Our school systems are continuously negatively affected. According to the American Psychological Assn. , schools where students reported a high rate of bullying had lower scores on standardized tests. This issue is affecting the schools' ability to meet federal requirements to receive governmental funding and creates an immense pressure upon school officials to improve their standardized test scores and to keep their school's recognition. Bullying can be related to absence, lower grades and dropping out of school altogether
The BRAVE Act policy requires that all types of bullying be reported to the appropriate authorities within seven days. If society wants to end school bullying and carry on stricter polices, they should support this proposed law. Every child and teen needs someone to stand up for them, and it is our duty to see that every community has a great school system that provides a safe environment and offers equal educational protection.

I wish I will not have accepted by the school to do engineering. I’m sitting in the library now and I ought to be doing some physics problem but instead I’m reading Erich Fromm's Escape from Freedom. I think my parents should read this as good,so they would understand us better.
