Right now I am a junior in high school and I am taking AP Lang. The class is not hard for me, but there are just too many books to read, and I am not the best reader, and we only have a certain amount of time to read each book.
Should I take AP Lit next year? If I don't will it look to colleges as though I am downgrading? I really don't want to be tied up my senior year with all the books.
I don't need them for college credit either, because I am going to major in Computer Science and they don't have English classes. Thanks.

"Thanks to the CSR, the Chinese company is changing considerably.

Indeed this nonprofits organization contributes to improve and modernize Chinese’s life by influencing their companies to be socially responsible.

Previously the principal goal of the Chinese’s companies was to make profit and to increase their sales sometimes with the detriment of the quality of the product.
At the present time, mentalities change and the largest companies understand that they must pay attention to their image and their reputation if they want to exploit a global market.

With this intention they will improve their working conditions and quality of those one, will invest in social actions which will help the poorest families of China to have a way of life more advanced and healthier.
They are expected too to deal with labor abuses, environmental degradation and political corruption.
The leaders of the smallest companies do not grasp the utility yet to be socially responsible but mentality is on to change in the next years
