ReplyDeleteArticle title:Gold Star kids: Remembering the children of the fallen
Article date:November 11th, 2013
who:Cierra Becker,Staff Sargent Shane Becker,director Mitty Griffis Mirrer, Gold Star Children, T.A.P.S
where:untied states
when:April 2007
what happened: A young girl by the name of cerria`s father has been killed in a war and this happens to many children they are losing their parents to war. many kids pretend that their parents are still around and others just don't know what they should do, many of these children struggle losing a family member and sometimes dont have anyone to talk about it with, some kids don't even sometimes what to ask where their parent is because their afraid they will upset one of their parents. so they have created a program for young children to be able to talk about their feeling and what they are going through. over 20,000 kids lose their parents and america wants to do something about it. they want to be supportive to these children at their time of need. these children have been given a name the Gold Star Children meaning when their parents die their parents recieve a gold star and these children are now labeled as Gold stars because their parents are now gone.
why relevant: this is revleant because this should speak to the people, the government who decideds to take things this farr and commit to war. they dont relize that in all actuality that if these soilders dont come back that they have now destroied a family and a childs hope and dreams by taking away their parents even though they dont mean to they just want to slove their problems using violence.
reaction: when i read this i began to really think and have simpathy for these children and their loss.
opinion: in my opinion i think the government needs to really over think and look at the bigger picture and the families involved before they deicdid to start a war.
connection: i cant really connect to this event because no one in my family is involved in the war or has ever been,m so all i can really say is these children are beyond mentally strong they are emotionally strong and i feel that they should keep pushing on.

When: The Congressional Budget Office estimates that 24 million people will purchase insurance through an exchange by 2023.

According to CNN's data, at least 344,808 people had signed up for new private insurance on state based exchanges as of November 11.
Why relevant: This is relevant because we need to know if people are eligible for Obamacare. Most people need this care in order to survive and now they might have to wait because so many people have signed up for it.
Reaction: I feel as though that people should not have to wait a long time for something that they need. Obamacare was mainly the only thing that was saving people in need.

Connection: I can relate to this because when I have to wait for something I can mad when I have to wait for a long time.

Article Date:Posted at 5:49 pm
Who:President Barack Obama, The Obama Administration, and voters at Quinnipiac.
Where: Quinnipiac voting polls.
When: during the polls as recent as last week.
What happened: Obama's healthcare.gov is not leading up to be what the people believed in. They feel Obama has let them down and its showing in the polls. The number of people who trusted Obama had went sown drastically."39% of voters approve how he is handling his job, while 54% disapprove." These numbers go along with the other poll numbers about how trustworthy and reliable the president is. "52%, say the President is not honest and trustworthy, compared to 44% " basically the people are not happy about the way Obama Is handling his duties as president. He told the people they could keep their healthcare plans now its something different.
Why this event is relevant: it involves the government and the president vs the people.
Reaction: I automatically agreed with the people. If Obama isn't doing his job and keeping his word then the poll percentages should be going down. I just was shocked. I thought Obama was the best president all for the people. Turns out he letting the people down with false statements.
Opinion: I think.. Obama needs to get on his Job and keep his promises. Its not reason people shouldnt trust the man in charge of everything. They make it seem like the only good thing Obama did was stop the government shut down and kill bin laden.
Connection: I chose this article cause I like to read up on interesting political debates and I favor Obama.

Article Title: "Clinton: Obama should ‘honor commitment’ on keeping health plans"
Article Date: November 12, 2013
Despite his fair share of controversies, Bill Clinton can lay claim to having a great presidency during his time in office, and his words of advice to Obama concerning the Affordable Care Act stem from experience. Clinton says that the Americans that lost their health benefits after the overhaul in 2010 should be returned those benefits as Obama promised them. It's no secret that a large majority of Americans are not in favor of the Affordable Care Act, claiming that it was a fixing of something that simply was not broken. Obama has agreed with Clinton's statements, and says he will meet with advisers to try to find solutions to the problems regarding this act. Nonetheless, Clinton supports the Affordable Care Act.
However, former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has recently brought up a great point. In 2008, during the primary presidential race between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton hammered the idea of the Affordable Care Act. How is it that now that his wife has already lost, Clinton has suddenly found the diamond in the rough that is the Affordable Care Act? It seems as if Clinton is conforming to the current circumstance.
This article is relevant because the Affordable Care Act is something that has affected every single American. Every American is insured by this act, and not every citizen enjoys the notion of this act. Obama has taken serious backlash for the overhaul of health care in 2010 and, though I do not agree with those who don't fancy the act, they deserve to have their voices heard as it says in the Declaration of Independence - "the consent of the governed."

Article Date: November 12 ,2013
Who:President Barack Obama and six states.
Where:This is a national issue but the states included in the article is Missouri , Iowa , Colorado , Texas , New York , and New,Town Connecticut.
When: This issue happen within a whole year of 2013.
What happened: There is a debate on gun control since the tragedy of New,Town Connecticut shooting. President Obama is trying to make new federal changes and each state has their own rule on gun control. In Texas lawmakers pushed a series of bills that would make it easier and cheaper to own and carry a gun in the state. In New York there the first in the nation to create laws imposing mental health regulations on owning guns. Connecticut passed new gun laws that are the toughest in the Country. They added 100 guns to the banned firearm list of assault weapons. This event is relevant because people lives get token everyday with guns and its important we have laws on guns and that they are strict laws.I feel good to know lawmakers are taking this situation serious because it is a problem that can affect anyone in the world.I think some states can have better laws like Texas because that's not safe enough.I picked this article because I feel like everyone is affected by guns because they are all around us. Innocent people die because of guns and better gun control can help that. Gun control is a issue all around the world.
Great post, Jamonnie!

As for the Pendleton camp this was considered one of the deadliest.
Why this event is relevant: this event is revelant because it has something to do with law and justice. I say law because they should have law that says that there is a limit to things that Marines do due to the fact that they are basically helping us also already putting their self in danger which is not right for them or their families they have home.and justice I mean someone speaking out on what is right and making a law of this so our Marines can actually be helped and families will not get affected
Reaction I felt upset because this isn't right to them or the families these Marines have back at home that care about them.
Opinion: I think that they should be more careful of our Marines treat them like their pride and joy also make sure that death don't happen in the ways that they did before basically repeating or making it worse.
Connection I chose this article because it court my attention and I actually have a cousin thats in the navy that has seen similar situations and have been on his worksite and got hurt and these kind of things I really don't.

Article Date: November 15, 2013
Who: Rob Ford, Toronto Mayor
Where: Toronto, Canada
When: Friday
What happened: The council within Toronto have gathered and had come to a vote to push for giving Mayor Ford a leave of absence. Mayor Ford has been put under the searing spotlight for quite a bit for admitting to buying and using crack cocaine. And that's not all, he also admitted to abusing alcohol and was once seen with a female escort, that gave people the wrong idea. Thirthy-seven to 5 the majority of the council decided to usurp most of Mr. Ford's powers. And what's more, when interviewed, Mr. Ford said he wants his citizens to decide if he is worthy during his 2014 election. HA!
Why this event is relevant: Well, though it's not happening in the states, it's a good example of how if you screw up in your personal life it can certainly affect your job. Also, I have a lot of cousins in Toronto, so why not?
Reaction: I remember watching this on the news a couple of times. I was kinda shocked, and kinda not. What really got me was the Rob kept saying all this stuff in front of the rolling cameras, and then came back later to say he didn't mean a word. That it was all said due to the pressure of the paparazzi. Now, that sounds preposterous!
Opinion: I think everyone makes bad choices in life, but I don't think the man deserves to lose his job because he did crack once. It's weird, I know. But I don't really like to mix personal lives of politicians with their work. I'm not gonna judge you by that, I'll judge you by the actions you make to better your section of the world, or the section you are in charge of governing.
Connection: I'd seen it on the news and wanted to read the follow up. And I wanted to know if he got the boot.

Article Date: This event happened on November 13, 2013.
Who: Unanimous hackers were the main peoole involved.
Where: This happened on the Obamacare website.
When: This has been happening eversince the creation of the website, if not the creation of the Internet.
What happened: Many hackwrs have tried to hack the Obamacare website, and many have failed. It's now that admins if the website have begun to question how secure rhe website is.
Why is this relevant: This is relevant because uf someone was to successfully hack the website, they had access to all of its information. That person could also nake changes to the database and stop the flow of Obamacare. Just last month upto 160,000 people signed up for Obamacare. Imagine if those people's accounts were removed ina matter of milliseconds.
Reaction: I feel that there are more important things that someone could hack, but I'm not a supporter of hacking. If that person was caught, they would be hatshly punished. When people get caught hacking video games, they get banned for a few days. Just imagine what the government could do to you hacking one of their websites.
Opinion: We have had computers for a while. The fact that we can't have a website that can aviod being hacked, what makes us so sure that banks are a safe place to store our money. Since basically everything is done by computer, who's stop someone from deleting all the money in you account.
Connection: This reminds of when PSN was successfully hacked 3 years ago. Their servers were down for several weeks. Everybody was upset at SONY because they are a large company that is based on electronics. They can't take the time to spend some of their bilions of dollars to get a few people to secure their software.

Who: The U.S people and U.S government
Where:In Washington,DC
When: The first day of November in 2013
What happened: Our government is beginning to make cuts to the SNAP (Food Stamps) program because they had to find a way budget their money more. Citizens in the SNAP program are forced to look for another way if finance for food. This is because the decrease in amount of money given to each member monthly . Other organization that help distribute food , saw this as a problem because it will make it harder to feed the larger amount of people soon to be applying .
Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because now people will starve and this will cause another epidemic . Also is relevant because the SNAP program helped feed millions. Usually for people in need of financial help.
Reaction : I feel as though the government did not fully considered all the problems this could cause .This article startled me because this is the second time something has happened food stamps with in the last few months.
Opinion : I think the urban community will most be affected by this . This is because many people in the SNAP are of the Urban community . The government just provide to be an example of having to overcome an obstacle while your already down . The people who do started to succeed and prosper will be the ones the work hard to feed their families or themselves . The governments actions were not appropriate from my stand point .
Connection : I choose this because this personally affected somebody I know . Their funding in food stamps decreased now being the second time . Making the mom of the family to have to work harder and begin to budget better . This article also caught my attention because it just shows how each and everyday the urban people ( low class) are brought down even farther .

Connection:My connection to this is the way that they were promised something and it was eventually taken away. It makes you feel disappointed and I know the feeling of being let down.
