Who: Russian President Putin was involve in trying to make peace with Ukrainian President Poroshenko.
What happened: President Putin made a cease peace deal with Ukraine to backed off Russian Supremacist. President Putin said that Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko are very close into a deal. In this compromise it would end the 5 months rebel offense but the Ukrainian troops would have to push back too. They would also implement a joint peaceful compromise to end the Ukrainian-Russian crisis. It’s been a whole 5 decades since the whole Russian government decide to take little by little of Ukraine. In 1954 city that Russia took control of was Crimea. What they did was annex the Peninsula by sending in troops. Russia now is very much bigger than Ukraine and have better opportunities and advances than Ukraine. Some may call it bullying because Ukraine is smaller. Russia is purposely taking all of Ukrainian borders to cripple them. Some people believe that Obama and the US should get involve and help the Ukrainian citizens. While others say US should stay out of the problem.
Why it is relevant: This article is relevant because it shows Russia trying to get supperalism over Ukraine and become more of a super nation that it is. It can also hurt are alliances because Ukraine is a huge ally to US.
Reaction: My reaction to this article is sad because Russia is trying to take control over a nation that has less advanced than the super nation that Russia.
Opinion: It makes me sick that a big vast nation that Russia is would actually try to control the small nation that Ukraine is. I believe that Russia should be helping gain Ukraine trust instead of trying to cripple them.
Connection: I chose this article because we are trying to stop bullying but we fail to realize that they're doing it to countries. Dont you know countries have people in them and that you're scaring them.

ReplyDeleteArticle Title: The title of my article is "Nervous Neighbors Look for Support".
Article Date: This article was published on September 4th, 2014.
Who: President Obama, Leho Kagu (an engineer) The U.S and Russia are involved.
Where: This article takes place in Tallinn, Estonia.
When: This took place in late August, or early September.
What happened: President Obama gave a speech in the Estonian capital, talking about Estonia's independence, and he promised that they wouldn't loose their independence again while they are apart of NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization). Many people came to watch the speech, and many of them, who had lived through the soviet's occupation in their country for 50 years, said that they knew what Russia was capable of. Even people from Ukraine stood in front of the Russian Embassy and held up Ukrainian flags, without minding the threats of a cease fire. Some of the people holding up Ukrainian flags thought that the recent events that had happened there was the invasion of a very powerful state. But, even with all this happening, the peace plan Mr. Putin put out got little to no attention from the media. An online retailer in budapest, Eva David, believes that Western Europe should look back to it's own history and see what Russia has done to them already. She believes Russia is not to be trusted.
Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because the United States now has a duty to help Estonia out since they are part of NATO.
Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes): I feel like this is too much for the US, honestly. They have to deal with ISIS, and helping out Estonia, and depending on how all of this turns out, we may loos many soldiers.
Opinion (I think..): I think that everyone should wait and see what Russia is going to do. If Russia really poses a threat to Estonia (or any other country in NATO) then that's when the US should get involved. But, for now they're not really doing anything but sending threats, so we shouldn't immediately react on threats.
Connection (why you chose this article): I chose this article because this whole Russian invasion reminded me of ISIS trying to invade and take over other countries.

ReplyDeleteArticle Title: U.S. Vows NATO Defense of Baltics.
Article Date: This article was published on September 4, 2014.
Who: Mr. Obama, Vladimir Putin, where involved in this event.
Where: Ukraine, Russia, where present at this time.
When: Has been on going since June.
What happened: President Barack Obama gives speech in Estonia, involving Baltic nations. Basically the U.S is suppose to defend Baltic countries and they have to keep their word. Barack Obama persuaded Russia to attend the intervetion as well, and they decided to. But thus caused Baltic republics to become a little worried. But Obama has promised to be there to defend them, reassuring that they won't lose anymore. Now all of these countries are focusing on their alliance including the military. So basically this is what their discussing this intervention. Also Obama tries to get NATO to spend more money for military uses. Reguarding the fact that the U.S is responsible for spending almost three quarters of $1 trillion on military uses from NATO countries. Some of the countries are willing to help but not all of them.
Why this event is relevant: This event is relevent because it affects the U.S because we are involved. We are only here to help are alliances, but affecting us. The NATO countries are costing us and we need that money, that is why the economy is the way it is now.
Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes) My reaction is just I feel helpless. Because I know there isn't anything physically that I can do. I am upset that this is the way things are but what can I do.
Opinion (I think..) I think that the U.S shouldn't be involved in everyones problem just because they know they can help. Because ultimately it's affecting us financially, the U.S should only get involved if it is necessary.
Connection (why you chose this article I chose this article simply because it seemed the most interesting involving the government.

ReplyDeleteArticle Title: The title of my articles the "U.S. Regulations Tweak Final Rule for Banks' Buffers".
Article Date: This article has been published September 4, 2014..
Who: U.S. Regulators and large banks in the U.S. are involved in this article.
Where: This is happening all over the United States, but the new rule is being supervised in Washington D.C.
When: The U.S. Regulators tweaking final rules for bank buffers have been happening in the year 2014 since there was a crisis with companies during 2008.
What happened:Banks in the U.S have been running out of cash. So, the U.S. Regulators made a new rule on Wednesday of last week that required more than 30 of the biggest U.S. banks to add $100 billion more in cash. The rule was to protect the financial system from strain and and broader economy from periods of liability that helped weak companies.Before, banks needed to raise about $200 billion to meet the rule, but then regulators decreased since the rule was first urged. Spokespeople declined to comment on this rule while a Fed Economist, Bill Nelson thinks the rule may make credit more costly and it will cause financial crisis. They both do not think the rule is suitable. Meanwhile, the Clearing House are pleased with the changes,and U.S. Officials thinks the rule strikes a healthy balance between financial stability and economic growth, and last but not least the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation approves the rule.
Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant, because its dealing with money. The world needs money to survive through everything.
Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes) I was surprised, because there are a lot banks that I would never think none of the banks are struggling from all the money they get from citizens.
Opinion (I think..)I think the rule will be suitable because financial systems and the economy will be working together.
Connection (why you chose this article) I chose this article because i wonder why a lot of businesses in my area have been closed down then turned into banks. Then, when I read the title of the article I wanted to know if the rule was about building more banks,so it interested me to read the rest of the article.

ReplyDeleteArticle Title: The title of my article is "Medical costs, Ebb, for now.
Article Date: The article covers the events in the United states during the week of September 4, 2014.
Who: This article involves the nation along with the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Where: This event is taking place all over the United States.
When: This event has been taking place since since 2013, and is still continuing today.
What happened: In the United States the health spending has been at an all time low beginning in 2013. Although the economy is currently being rebuilt, the Affordable Care Act has new data to display. In 2013 the National health-care spending has increased to 3.6%. However in 2014 the national health spending growth is expected to increase to 5.6%. As the economy continues to improve, the nine million people that were once uninsured, will receive health coverage through the Medicaid health plan. In 2016 the national health care is expected to increase to 6.1%. By the year of 2023 the nation health-care is expected to rise to 19.3%. People are expected to spend less on health care because there will be a lot more out of pocket cost. Thus Medicaid will help many people in the long run.
Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant, because it explains how the medical cost is being effected, during the recovery of the recession.
Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes): I was surprised that the national health care spending had actually increased that much. The cost of healthcare was never of much interest to me, until the Affordable Care Act was passed.
Opinion (I think..) I think that health care spending in general is being put on the back burner, and I doubt that people are actually aware of how much the national health-care has increased over the years.
Connection (why you chose this article): I chose this article, because I feel as though health care and health insurance is a very vital part to the average adult, and with the information that was provided, I believe this will educate Americans, so that they can make better decisions.

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, but I believe it is a recent event.
What happened: This article is about the debates going back and forth about birth control pills being sold over the counter. Men were in the lead by 17 points, in a poll taken, when it was asked which party they rather have hadto pick leaders for congress. Different a states are now trying to show adds for over the counter sales to win from ladies votes. This whole article is about the differences from men and women. Women's pay being less than men's pay was also discussed in the article.
Why this event is relevant: I believe this is relevant because a lot of people are getting pregnant. There is a great percentage of young people that are still in school also getting pregnant. Pregnancy is something that should happen , but at a point in your life when you're ready and birth control could help. Plus , the differences in women and men shouldn't matter. Pay should be the same
Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes)
Opinion (I think..) I think that birth control should be sold over the counter. Morepeople could prevent from bringing humans into this world that they are not ready for.
Connection (why you chose this article) I chose this article because I don't believe that men should have a better advantage then women and birth control could help this country a lot.

ReplyDeleteArticle Title:Fake Gunmen, Real Terror
Article Date:This event occured last october.
Who:The people who were involved were Michelle Meeker and a strange gunman.
Where:This event occurred at The Colorado nursing home.
When:This happened last October.
What happened:A woman named Michelle Meeker approached a man where she works(Colorado nursing home). He then flashed his gun and forced her into an empty room. She tearfully begged for her life. But she did not know that the gunman was a local police officer. It was arranged by the retirement homes management to prepare employees for an armed intruder scenario. When finding this out, she filed a lawsuit against the officer and the facility because she felt traumatized.
Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because this incident made Ms. Meeker quite her job and made her feel traumatized. This could happen to someone in reality. So that is what makes this relevant. It can happen to anyone.
Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes) I feel that what happened was necessary. But, I do think the facility should have informed the employees that they would be doing this, so they could expect it.
Opinion (I think..) I think she was right to file a lawsuit against the facility and the gunman because something worse could have happened.
Connection (why you chose this article) A connection to this is when my grandma was alone at home and she heard the door open all of a sudden and she got so scared and started to scream because she thought someone was trying to break into her home. But it turns out it was just her husband.

ReplyDeleteArticle Title: Putin Sets Out Peace Terms is the title of this article.
Article Date: The events in this article took place September 4, 2014.
Who: Russian Leader, Vladimir Putin, and Ukrainian President, Petro Poroshenko, and the German government were involved.
Where: The article takes place in Russia, Ukraine, and Mongolia.
When: These events happened in early September of 2014.
What Happened: Russian leader, Vladimir Putin proposes a ceasefire deal with the president of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko. The deal states a end of the rebel offense, and a pull back of Ukraine’s troops. Covered by Russia’s plan, Ukraine would need to sketch out a boundary defining the regions of Donetsk and Luhansk. This also puts Ukraine at risk because they threaten peace in Europe. Soldiers from the United States plan to take part in the military exercises near Western Ukraine and Lviv. However, because of the constant back and forth in Ukraine, this was delayed. As Russia came at Ukraine, President Barrack Obama of the United States of America, states that Ukraine would need some help, but does not offer a fighting hand or a stand in the situation. It is up to Ukraine to attack or stand down. It is a matter of time before they are forced to make a move.
Why is this event relevant: This event is relevant because with Russia and Ukraine almost head to head, it is a matter of time before the United States has no choice but to get involved.
Reaction: My reaction to this event is anger because Russia is trying to take over Ukraine, and if they succeed, they will come after other countries, working towards larger ones.
Opinion: My opinion is that the United States should side with Ukraine and help defeat Russia, so that Russia has no power to take over anything.
Connection: A connection I have discovered with this article is that Russia is making Ukraine show its cards before it is ready too, like a card dealer does in a game.
