Brooke's Title Page
My name is Brooke Moody. I am eighteen years old. I was born in Salt Lake City, Utah on May 29th. I have five people in my family. I have one older brother who is 20 and a younger sister who is 15. I also have a dog named Murphy. I have lived in Kansas, Michigan and Orem, Utah. I now live in Provo. I graduated from Timpview High School in 2005. I attend Brigham Young University. I live in an apartment with 3 of the best roomates ever. We have a ton of fun together. I enjoy longboarding, water skiing, snow skiing and doing yoga. I recently got certified to teach yoga. I have not started looking for a job but I will once school gets out. My favorite thing is to be outside. I also love watching movies and spending time with my family and friends. I am not exactly sure what I want to major in but I think that I want to go into exercise science.
The article that I read is about three North African men who run businesses in France. The first man, Yazid Sabeg, is the chief executive of CS. He says that he has received prejudice against him. He is the only person from North Africa to hold a head position in a French company. In the 1990s, Sabeg took over CS as a contractor in the field of secure communications for defense and aerospace. The person whose job he took over was angry. Sabeg recalls, "The establishment, notably the military establishment, did not like it"(Astier, 2005 paragraph 7). Intelligence services wrote reports on Sabeg that included false rumours. He is convinced today that people in the establishment are still trying to get him fired. He said, "In their minds you can't be both Arab and French" ( paragraph 13). The second part of the article talks about two brothers, Abdel and Mohamed Djaiziri, who run a small supermarket chain in Paris. In 2002, they turned the supermarket into a halal shop. The mayor felt that they were making life more difficult for non-Muslims and tried to get the store to close based on health reasons. Things got worse when the chain where they get their products stopped supplying them. They lost all of their customers and went heavily into debt. Two years later the business is still going. The mayor said, "The store is filthy. I want them to go. I want to rehabilitate the square and bring in quality shops" (paragraph 37).
