ReplyDeleteArticle Title: Kerry: Countries 'in the region' willing to aid strikes against ISIS
Article Date: Sun September 14, 2014
Who: John Kerry, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, ISIS
Where: Syria, Middle East
When: Recently
What happened: Secretary of State John Kerry says that Middle Eastern countries are willing to assist militarily and in actual strikes to defeat ISIS. Airstrikes alone are not said to work but they also aren't planning to put troops on ground to fight. Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham disagrees with this plan and says that the U.S. should use all sources and not worry about safety. She also stated that, "There is no way in hell you can form an army on the ground to go into Syria to destroy ISIL without a substantial American component." She also urges the President to end ISIS before they come on our ground.
Why this event is relevant: This talks about plans and the strategy of U.S. defeating the terrorist group, ISIS.
Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes) I felt that the strategy still has many flaws and risks but I don't think they'll come up with a plan that won't risk ISIS doing something radical in return. It's quite frightening.
Opinion (I think..) I think that the President's plan is better than what Graham suggested because if we go out all at once, they'll defeat us in a heartbeat, we don't even know where this group is hiding.
Connection (why you chose this article) I chose this article because we still talk about ISIS in class, and I find the news about political strategies a bit interesting.

Why this event is relevant: It shows how other countries are managing their stocks as well as they do in America on stock exchanges.

ReplyDeleteArticle Title: The title of my article is Republicans Woo Women in Midterm Ads.
Article Date: This article was written on Sept. 4, 2014
Who: This topic has come up between Sen. Mark Udall and Rep. Cory Gardner.
Where: This article takes place in Colorado.
When: This article has no exact date
What happened: This article is about Cory Gardner trying to sell birth control over the counter to gain more votes for women . Among men Republicans held a 17-point lead over democrats . Women however , favored a democratic - controlled congress by 14 percentage points . Another Reason for him to get votes was to bring up the fact that women get paid less and it should be based on work ethnic and not gender .
Why this event is relevant: I believe this is relevant because a lot of younger people are starting to have sex at early ages and are getting pregnant and may not want their parents to know so they could buy them over the counter . Also this is important because women naturally does get paid less and that's not really fair when some women do the same thing and the same hours as men and for women to get paid less is unfair when the work is equal it shouldn't be based on gender .
Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes) I felt like this is necessary because if selling birth control over the counter can get people from not having as many babies and can have a better future than I support it just like the plan B pill they sell it & a lot of people has stopped their pregnancy from happening .
Opinion (I think..) I think that birth control should be sold over the counter. People can now stop having abortions and just get on birth control in the first place this can prevent it
Connection (why you chose this article) I chose this article because I don't believe that men should get paid more than women it should be equal and birth control could help out a lot

The two planed to kidnap someone in the United states and to cut their head off and hang it on an ISIS flag. ISIS is a terror group that addresses to themselves as the Islamic State. This terror group goes around and take over villages in Syria and Iraq, they also kidnap Americans and eventually kill them. On Thursday one person was arrested with a charge of terrorism and fourteen others where detained for questioning. Right now Australia terror level is at 'high' right now. Which mean that a terrorist attack is most likely to happen at any given moment.
Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because ISIS is one of the biggest threats right now. This group is doing anything in their power to try to take down the united states. If ISIS have people inside of the US planning to help them. Then the whole state is going to be in trouble.
Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes) My reaction to this is that im upset that the US have to deal with another terrorist attack. Also I upset at the people inside if the US that are condoning what ISIS is doing because it shows they don't have any loyalty towards the US.
Opinion (I think..) I think that the people will release that being apart of ISI is not the right thing to do. And i think that we wont have any problems with ISIS anytime soon hopefully.
Connection (why you chose this article)I choose this article because im very interested in this whole ISIS thing because im worried what will happen to the US and if We will get into a war or not.

ReplyDeleteArticle Title: House Approves Arming Syrian Rebels to Fight Islamic State.
Article Date: This article was published on September 17, 2014
Who: Those involved in this article were the President Barack Obama and the House of Representatives.
Where: This discussion took place in the capitol where the house of chambers resides
When: This event took place on Wednesday
What happened: What happened was that the House of Representatives gave its permission for Syrian Rebels to be armed in order to fight of the Islamic Extremist group Known as ISIS aka (ISIL). Lengthy debates formed while votes were being made, the debates were about whether lawmakers were willing to send US troops back into the state they were trying to take them out of or If arming the Syrian Rebels would result in a rebound of the weapons falling into the wrong hands and causing even more of a ruckus in the middle east. Democrats had a vote of 114 those of republicans voted 159 for the amendment while 71 republicans along with 85 democrats voted against it. The law was passed even though fears were told on the threat ISIS committed with the murder of the journalist who were from America. The amendment is for the preparation of Syrian troops for combat against the Islamic state with the distribution of training and guns, but it also served as a variable to get a bigger and better plan for going up against the terrorist group. The amendment is formed, so that the training last until the middle of December ending on the 11th. President Obama had authorized an airstrike in Iraq in the last month, but last we had promised to eradicate the terrorist group for good.
Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because it brings updated reports of what our government plans to do with the potential threat known as ISIS. U.S thought that Al Qaeda was not a threat and paid the price, so in order for a problem to be avoided tabs on what is being planned for our nation as well as others are being kept and analyzed for outcomes that won’t be regretted.
Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes) I feel as though we as a nation with this vote to arm the Syrian rebels may have been a good call because you may not know what could happen and they need to be ready. The outcome can be either way, but it would be worse if troops died without the means to back themselves up or take a stand.
Opinion (I think..) I think that a lot more thoughts have to be exchanged before more decisions are made because even though no one knows when they could strike if the U.S. Moves to fast the results may be in resemblance to what happened during the Vietnam war and efforts would have been for nothing.
Connection (why you chose this article) I chose this article because I was curious as to what was happening with the progression of plans to stop this terrorist group when it was presented to me by my teacher. In order to get a better grip of the situation I chose and read this article to help instill some more insight.

Article Date: 9/18/2014
Who: Hillary clinton
Where: Washington
When: This week
What happened:What is going to happen is that Hillary Clinton is going to start a campaign for womens issues going on in america like equal pay, and affordable child care. She is going to give speeches and panels in new york next week to address the issues going on for womans rights. The united states is the only country that doesn't give their working woman paid leave. This issue has become a central focus for her possible 2016 presidential campaign.
Why this event is relevant: I think this event is relevant because Woman should have just as much pay as men, and should be treated as equally as men. Woman need jobs that can help provide for themselves and their family if they have one.
Reaction: i didn't know that working woman dont get paid for leave especially if they are in the army. I also didn't know that woman in the army are being sexually assaulted. Now that i know this, i feel bad for all the hardworking woman in america who are not getting paid enough to provide for their family.

Article Date: Thursday, September 18, 2014
Who: CNN Pentagon Correspondent, United States and ISIS
Where: Syria
When: September 18, 2014
What happened: This article is mainly about how the U.S military is ready to take action against ISIS in Syria. In order to act they have to anticipate President Barack Obama's permission. Over these past weeks, U.S troops have been gathering a list of targets from different areas that might cause conflict within Syria.
However, President Barack Obama plan to keep America safe by using strategies to increase support and military supplies. For more reasoning, the military chooses where the action will happen after the President come to a resolution. In other terms, President Barack Obama plans to strike ISIS in a progressive way by not taking action quickly and not signing off on every strike that may appear. It can be made clear that, the President Obama has to make risky decisions by being discrete and handling a presidential level.
Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant in terms of ISIS by the president being aware of the bombings, threats being made and other within Syria or any other country.
Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes): My reaction to this event is that I feel as though the President is doing his job as to planning to make changes in our country and doing what's right and safe for all of us.
Opinion (I think..): I think that the United States is somewhat ready to strike ISIS in a more moderate way due to military forces.

Why this event is relevant: This is relevant because it envoles a whole case.
Reaction: I think dwyer is totally wrong like if your wife is telling you to stop then stop because woman are very sensitive. Ok I get it she bit him but he has to reason putting his hands on any female that's where he messed up. Then he throwing shoes at his son something is clearly wrong with this dude.

When:This Meeting happened on September 18,2014.
What happened:Petro Poroshenko Ukrainian President sat down with the people of congress and also met with Obama to get military aid and help arming his troops. After the meeting he was given $46 million dollars to help buy things for military aid this did not include money for arming his troops because that request was denied. President Petro thinks that other thinks are important too but he thinks that they needed lethal aid.
Why this event is relevant:This event is relevant because the U.S is included in the and U.S is attempting to help Ukraine while they are in fighting por-Russian rebels.
Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes) It’s somewhat good that Obama is trying to help Ukraine because if we were in trouble and needed their help or support he would want them to be helping us.
Opinion (I think..) I think Obama should be careful with who he trusts because Ukraine could just be using the U.S to get money and help but not help the U.S if help was needed. Obama should be cautious and careful who he keeps close to him you never know they could turn around and try to hurt the U.S.

ReplyDeleteArticle Title: ISIS Draws a Steady Stream of Recruits From Turkey
Article Date: SEPTEMBER 15, 2014
Who: ISIS, U.S, Turkey & Boarding Neighbors
Where: Turkey
When: Month Of September
What happened:This article talks about how ISIS is achieving at spreading around and growing as an organization. Just in a week, ISIS went from 20,000 members to 31,000 members. ISIS is now recruiting in Turkey. The U.S has tried getting into contact with the turkish prime minister, to tell him to try and cut off ISIS' way to communicating or getting into their country. However, Turkey is sticking to their word of not getting involved of anything that has to deal with their boarding countries because they want to maintain peace. This made a lot of American officials angry. Lastly, it talked about how ISIS is recruiting people from the United States!
Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because this terrorist group is getting stronger and stronger and could possibly become a huge threat to a lot of countries, including the U.S.
Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes) My reaction to this article, is somewhat shocked and curious. I'm curious because the U.S is putting so much pressure on Turkey to do better policing, so that ISIS can't recruit, however, ISIS seems to be easily recruiting members from the U.S, so maybe the U.S should worry about their home security, before pressuring another country to boost up theirs.
Opinion (I think..) I think the U.S are being hypocrites when it comes to security because they always want other countries to have better security, but can't even improve their own.
Connection (why you chose this article) I choose this article because it talks a lot about ISIS strategies, and I like studying "the enemies" plans.

Article Date: September 18, 2014
Who: US and ISIS
Where: US and Monsul
When: September 18, 2014
What happened: the US has come to a dead end as to how to stop the deadly terrorist group ISIS. Some people in the White House have no problem with air strikes and some people in the house do. President Obama has already said that he will attempt to destroy the ISIS organization if they continue to kill and hurt innocent people. Obama has kept his promise and has a plethora of strategies to stop the group but everyone doesn't agree on the ways to do it. Representatives in the pentagon plan to train over 20,000 soldiers to send over to Iraq to help destroy ISIS on the ground. They say they want to be able to train about 5,000 soldiers a year.
Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because this involves my country. I want my country to make the best decisions for us as a nation. If the best decision for us to go along with these potentially dangerous strategies the president has put together then I have no other way but to trust it.
Reaction: i really just hope that we will be making the right decisions as it comes to these strategies. I just don't want them to potentially backfire and start a bigger problem on US soil.
Opinion: i think the US has everything under control and i think ISIS will eventually be destroyed by the likes of the US government and other Allies of ours.
Connection: I chose this article because ISIS has been all over the news and stuff and I just felt like it was very important to me as an American and just as a student to read about it and write about it.

Reaction: I was happy to see that something was being done because sexual assault has been a huge issue in colleges for a long time and knowing that there is something being done in the time frame that I'll be looking into college is good to know.
Opinion: I think it's great that we're finally taking steps towards bettering the issue.
Connection: I connected this to a movie that was made in the 90's called Higher Learning where one character was assaulted in her college career and it caused a big uproar on the campus.

ReplyDeleteArticle Title: For Britain, Fighting ISIS Might Add to Risk at Home
Article Date: September 18, 2014
Who: This article is about Britain and ISIS
Where: This story take place in Britain.
When: A couple of days ago.
What happened: Pretty much this article is about how ISIS is in Britain and they are trying to attack them but it will affect them. So now Britain have to decide what to do. Are they going to try and attack or wait and see what ISIS is going to do. Britain ask for help from U.S in attacking ISIS. However president Obama hav'nt decided what to do. So this process is pending as of right now.
Why this event is relevant: This is relevant because it has to do with ISIS and trying to take them out. We as the U.S are going to protect our people and if that means helping other countries. Then that's what will do.
Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes) I feel like president Obama is really trying to help Britain in this fight against ISIS. Britain themselves are readying their military for any thing ISIS might try to do.
Opinion (I think..) I think this article is was very informing. It gives a lot of info on ISIS and how if Britain tries to attack it might cause trouble in their own place. So it's a great risk for Britain.
Connection (why you chose this article) I chose this article because it look like it's very important. It has to do with ISIS. Also we have been learning about ISIS in civics class. So I felt like it something to look into.
