- The topic is campus violence. And the main idea is preventing violence on campuses.
- The author talks about some of the main shootings that have happened over the past years, the Virginia tech shooting were 32 people were killed by a student who then took his own life, the Austin University shooting were 16 students were killed the Columbine High School shooting. After studies they have discovered that tighter security is not effective because people are not taking the campus security seriously, and after an incident happens the security gets really active but then just goes back to its normal ways. So in the end no matter how tight the security gets the shooters will probably still find a way to get what they want.
- Isolated, low self worth, and someone who does not take criticism well.
- The security at NYIT is all right. I do notice a lot of security vehicles around campus, but I never see any security guards. I think the main reason the security guards are good for on campus is mainly giving people parking tickets. But if somehow something went wrong I think it would take along time for the guards to head over to the seen because they will first have to drive there and then get out of there car and run over to the seen.

It does not sound like you think too much of the security guards on campus. You give good examples, but what type of info did the authir use?(examples, reasons, facts and statistics?)
I agree the security guards are basically good for nothing, all they can provide is speeding and parking tickets. But then again there really isnt much to do to or see on the campus that would require the sercurity guards.....atleast we havent come across such a situation yet thankfully......
