ReplyDeleteTitle: After a beheading in Oklahoma, debate over what to call it
Article Date: September 29, 2014
By. Mark Berman
Who: ISIS recruiter Alton Nolen beheading is debated to be a murder or a terrorist.
When: This event happened Monday, September 22, 2014
Where : The incident was reported to take place in Oklahoma.
What happened :Last Thursday Muslim follower Alton Nolen was fired from Vaughn Foods. Speculators however have not determined why he was terminated. Because of the firing Nolen went to another part of the building attacking two co-workers Colleen Hufford and Traci Johnson. Injuring Traci but unfortunately beheading Colleen. CO of Vaughns Foods and honorary deputy of Oklahoma Sheriff's Department then opened fired on Nolen sending him to the hospital which he is now in stable condition. With all the commotion however no charges has been filed on Nolen. Because of national attention there has been two sides of this those who says this is workplace violence and others who says he’s working for ISIS. But FBI says that theres no liking to ISIS practices.
Why it's Relevant: This is relevant because it is showing how everything in the world is connected. Think about it this all started in Syria. Now god forbid but it's spreading worldwide. Also because of ISIS it's bringing our allies closer but on the negative side we don't know who's really our enemies. Because of social media ISIS is spreading and if we can stop this movement we can stop any future attacks on US soil. Also it is sad that somebody would even behead a person how sadistic do you have to be.
Reaction: When I read this article it made me sick that people are living inside countries plotting to hurt their own citizens. Its just stupid. Also that a group of people our plotting against U.S. but live in our country. You also can't trust anyone,
Opinion: I think it's revenge for what the US did to their leader Osama Bin Laden. I also believe that their may be another attack sadly because ISIS is expanding.
Connection: I chose this topic because this is the main issues that be on the news.

ReplyDeleteArticle Title- Ebola fact sheet.
Article Date This article took place May 2014.
Who- this article involved people from Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, and sierra Leone.
Where- this started in west Africa.
When-september 30th
What? Ebola is a virus disease, which is deadly.
Why? This is happening because of careless decisions being made, like touching trash and not washing your hands after the fact.
Reaction- my reaction to this was eww because not thinking before you do something, like picking up something from the ground to put it in the trash and not washing your hands afterward then later on you'll great that person, passing on germs and then they'll go eat a sand which thinking their hands are clean when they're not, then they'll touch somebody book or something, passing on germs which causes people to get sick etc. Another reaction I had was OMG!! Ebola is back, that's crazy because we thought we found a cure, but we didn't cause if that was the case it would not be back, and its hard to go to school knowing it back, that's why keeing your hands and space clean is very important, plus 1, 800+ people had it. So keeping clean is extremely important, especially with something that can be easily passed on.
Opinion- my opinion on Ebola is that it's mainly in developing countries, and its easy to catch in a developing country because that country gas a small index and a low living conditions , developing countries really don't have good conditions where they can have fresh water and hand sanitizer, to keep clean etc. So its harder for them.
Connection- I connected this article about Ebola to a stomach virus because germs are being spread in both cases and it's a hard to get rid of.
Kiyah- the website, infoplease.com, is not a news organization. This post does not qualify as a current event. You have until 3:30pm on Friday to submit another post using a news article involving government in some way.

ReplyDeleteArticle Title: NBC only network to report president was warned about ISIS threat.
Article Date: October 1 2014
Who: President Obama and ISIS
Where: The white house.
When: since last year
What happened: CBS's 60 minutes travel that aired on Sunday said that ,the director of national intelligence Jim Clapper is to blame for not recognizing the ISIS . The NBC nightly news offered a stack contrast as it aired a two and a half minute segment. Including Obama's comment and also said that the president knew about the threat and potential of the ISIS. And the president's own senior intelligence told him(Obama) that the ISIS was on the move. Obama and the Whitehouse held the secret since last year. And the news reporter Brain Williams gave that statement.
Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because now everyone knows that the ISIS threatened the US and so it is important for us to know if the President had already knew about this.
Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes) I was surprised when I read this because I thought the president was as new to this information as we are.
Opinion (I think..)I think the this is very important, because we have to know what other countries to not want the better of this country.
Connection (why you chose this article)
I chose this topic because it seems that I am vey interested in the issue about the ISIS and I think that is because of the fear that I have.

ReplyDeleteArticle Title: Ferguson Charging High Price for Michael Brown Case Files
Article Date: September 24, 2014
Who: Ferguson Government and Ferguson Citizens are involved.
Where: Ferguson, Missouri is where this event takes place.
When: August and September 2014.
What happened: The Ferguson Police has been making people play ten times some of their salaries to get copies of the files that have to do with Michael Brown's shooting. Many people that wanted to know more about this case are now backing away from it because of the high cost of the files. The files could actually be given out for free, though, if they were for the public to see, which is a law in Missouri. They charged the Associated Press $135 per hour for a day's worth of work, just to get emails that were sent during that time. The government uses this pricing tactic to keep files they don't want people to see. But, Missouri is still chasing hundreds or thousands of dollars just to retrieve simple things like text messages or emails.
Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because for months now Michael Brown has been in the news, and on social networks and no one has really been receiving information because of the government making them pay for files that could really be free.
Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes): I feel as though Missouri shouldn't be doing so much to cover up the shooting. It makes them seem like something bad is behind all of this.
Opinion (I think..): I think that a lot more has to do with this shooting that we know about because of the fact that Missouri is trying so hard to cover things up. No one would make up all these excuses and ways to conceal somethig if it didn't make them look bad.
Connection (why you chose this article): I chose this article because I saw that it was about Michael Brown and I knew that he had been discussed in my school and on the local news, so I thought that I should read this article.

Why this event is relevant: Its relevant because its a start of a revolution, it shows how other places in the world want to take on the form of government the U.S has utilized.

Opinion (I think..)I think that if they keep the protest pushing then some form of change will come.
Connection (why you chose this article) I chose this article because it shows that people will eventually always stand up for their rights of freedom and liberty.

ReplyDeleteArticle Title: The title of this article is, “In Georgia, police at some schools getting guns from the military”.
Article Date: This article was written on August 30, 2014.
Who:Michael Brown, Congressman Hank Johnson, Marlyn Tillman(co-founder of Gwinnett SToPP), John Lester, and Roger Stearns were people that were included in this article.
Where: The information found in this article states that this took place in Ferguson, Missouri.
When: The information found in this article took place on April 27, 2009
What happened: While reading this article, it was discovered that after the death of Michael Brown, police officers thought they were not prepared enough to be ready to stop people from harming one another. Since then they decided to give police officers military weapons such as, M-14, M-16, and grenades. Once the police had these weapons they were using them against innocent people. The police that were given the military weapons worked in high schools, colleges and universities therefore those students were the people getting killed.
After so many people got killed, Marlyn Tillman stated that this was causing a problem. She brought it to the attention of John Lester that society has taken the weapons too far this time. Soon after that was said Chief John Lester said that the military weapons would be limited to police or take the privilege away from the officers. They would no longer be able to have M-14, M-16, Tanks or the smoke grenades. Instead the police would not be able to use any gun larger than a .50 caliber. Thus this should be making the area safe and less harmful to the students
Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because this has been going on since 2009 and now officers are deciding that giving the police officers the military weapons were a bad idea once they killed too many innocent people with the weapons.
Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes) I think it was obvious that something bad was bound to happen. If you give an officer a weapon of course they would take it too far and accidently hurt somebody.
Opinion (I think..) I think it was a horrible idea giving police officers military weapon.
Connection (why you chose this article) I chose this article because I thought it was interesting that something that has been causing a problem since 2009 is just beginning to get solved.

Article Title: "Opinion: Why U.S. Can stop Ebola"
Article Date: Updated today 10/2/14 at 5:42 pm.
Who: The U.S. and their health system, the Center for Disease Control and West Africa.
Where: The crisis is in West Africa, but the diagnostics are in the U.S.
When: The first case of Ebola being diagnosed in the U.S. was in March, but the
announcement of it was on Tuesday.
What happened: The U.S. predicted that a traveler from West Africa with an Ebola outbreak
would travel to the U.S. Since they knew that a traveler would spread symptoms, the U.S.
diagnosed their first case of Ebola. It was done by spotting patients with a history of traveling
and symptoms showing that they they have Ebola. Then they would seclude them in a private
room and talk to their health department to get them tested. Recently the CDC consulted on
about 100 cases and 14 were severely at risk. Now, everyone understands why the U.S. Can
stop Ebola, since it's healthcare is powerful and the professionals are determined to keep the
people healthy and make sure this case of Ebola will not terrorize the nation.
Why this event is relevant: This is relevant because some travelers may not get identified for
having Ebola thay can spread it to anyone surrounded by them and those people will get
really sick and may even die.
Reaction: I am very cautious of my surroundings now because Ebola can spread easily.
Opinion: I think Ebola will soon spread everywhere in the U.S.
Connection: I chose this article because this topic has been popular all week and I wanted to know what the U.S. was going to do about the outbreak.

ReplyDeleteArticle Title:The title of my article is Ebola Patient's Leaving Liberia was 'unpardonable,' its President Says.
Article Date:This article took place on Thursday, October 2nd, 2014 at 9:12PM.
Who:My article involved Liberia, and Thomas E. Duncan. .
Where:This event was present in Liberia.
When: The event in this article took place in late September.
What happened: An american citizen, Thomas Eric Duncan, went to help Liberia patients that had been infected with Ebola. He later picked up the Ebola virus while in Liberia, and arrived on the plane with it. He not once told anyone about the virus that he has picked up, and claims he doesn’t know he has it. However, if Duncan is proved to be false, he will be prosecuted in full extent of the law.Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, his representative,is up to the challenge for making a case for him, and being aware of what will happen to him. She will represent him and try to help Duncan when he arrives back. Health officials are reaching out to anyone that Thomas might have had a connection with to prevent any spread across the U.S.A.
Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because it concerns the well-being of all american citizens. Also, it is relevant because a man’s life is at risk of a troublesome disease.
Reaction: Reading this made me nervous because this virus has the ability to spread. I do not want to catch this virus and not know where I got it from.
Opinion: I think that Thomas Duncan should be put off somewhere until a cure is produced. That way, there is no chance of the Ebola virus spreading.
Connection: A connection I made is the common cold because like the Ebola virus, it is contagious. Also, it is spreaded through germs.

Article Date:October 2nd 2014
Who:The U.S., Iraq and Afganistan
Where:Afganistan
When: October 2nd 2014
What happened: Now, Afganistan has gotten a new president. They have also signed a deal with the United States to keep groups that are from here to stay in the U.S.. But lately the country has been involved in so much violence. Just Thursday the third death occured targeting this army in 24 hours. Daniel Feldman(U.S. representative for Afganistan) says that unlike Iraq, Afganistan has unity and he is letting american troups to stay here.He also said although, everything that Afganistan has went through. It was implied and expected. He said that the security forces has also did a good job as well. There was a historic signing. It happened with Abdullah Abdullah.
Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because it has to do with the U.S. and it alliances with other countries. Which is important in crucial situations such as war so a country can have another countries back.
Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes)I feel this gives Americans a sense of relief knowing that we have strong bonds with other bonds. I feel is very good and not trying to make enemies.
Opinion (I think..) I think that Daniel didnt have to come at Iraq's neck like that athough you would choose the country that has signed a hugh contract with you.

ReplyDeleteArticle Title: American journalist in Liberia tests positive for Ebola
Article Date: The article was published on October 02, 2014.
Who: Both Ashoka Mukpo and Dr. Nancy Snyderman are involved in this event.
Where: This has traveled from Monrovia, Liberia to the United States.
When: This event took place earlier this week.
What happened: Ashoka Mukpo was recently hired in Monrovia, Liberia as a cameraman. Mukpo actually returned back to Liberia during the time the outbreak occurred. Upon his arrival in Liberia it has been proved that he has tested positive for Ebola. Dr. Nancy Snyderman has had contact with the illness, but has not contracted it. She and others will be held under quarantine for the next twenty-one days. Mukpo is actually the fourth person from the United States that has contracted Ebola. However the other three people that did contract the illness have been cured. Ashoka Mukpo was placed in the isolation unit today.
Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant, because Mukpo is the fourth American to contract Ebola, and he has came back to the United States with it. Being as though four Americans have already contracted it, this essentially means that there is a greater chance of the United States having an Ebola outbreak.
Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes) As an American citizen this is pretty astonishing that Americans have contracted the illness. I question how many people have actually come in contact with the person carrying the illness, before the display signs of Ebola.
Opinion (I think..) I think as a nation there needs to be a law that required anyone who has traveled outside of the United States be tested for the illness, before allowing them to walk amongst the common people. Once they start to display symptoms of Ebola it actually may be too late.
Connection (why you chose this article) This article grasped my attention, because it raised many questions in my head, as to whether or not the United States could actually prevent there being an Ebola outbreak in our nation.

What happened: CBS's 60 minutes travel that aired on Sunday said that ,the director of national intelligence Jim Clapper is to blame for not recognizing the ISIS . The NBC nightly news offered a stack contrast as it aired a two and a half minute segment. Including Obama's comment and also said that the president knew about the threat and potential of the ISIS. And the president's own senior intelligence told him(Obama) that the ISIS was on the move. Obama and the Whitehouse held the secret since last year. And the news reporter Brain Williams gave that statement.
Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because now everyone knows that the ISIS threatened the US and so it is important for us to know if the President had already knew about this.
Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes) I was surprised when I read this because I thought the president was as new to this information as we are.
Opinion (I think..)I think the this is very important, because we have to know what other countries to not want the better of this country.
Connection (why you chose this article)
I chose this topic because it seems that I am vey interested in the issue about the ISIS and I think that is because of the fear that I have.

ReplyDeleteTitle: After a beheading in Oklahoma, debate over what to call it
Article Date: September 29, 2014
By. Mark Berman
Who: ISIS recruiter Alton Nolen beheading is debated to be a murder or a terrorist.
When: This event happened Monday, September 22, 2014
Where : The incident was reported to take place in Oklahoma.
What happened :Last Thursday Muslim follower Alton Nolen was fired from Vaughn Foods. Speculators however have not determined why he was terminated. Because of the firing Nolen went to another part of the building attacking two co-workers Colleen Hufford and Traci Johnson. Injuring Traci but unfortunately beheading Colleen. CO of Vaughns Foods and honorary deputy of Oklahoma Sheriff's Department then opened fired on Nolen sending him to the hospital which he is now in stable condition. With all the commotion however no charges has been filed on Nolen. Because of national attention there has been two sides of this those who says this is workplace violence and others who says he’s working for ISIS. But FBI says that theres no liking to ISIS practices.
Why it's Relevant: This is relevant because it is showing how everything in the world is connected. Think about it this all started in Syria. Now god forbid but it's spreading worldwide. Also because of ISIS it's bringing our allies closer but on the negative side we don't know who's really our enemies. Because of social media ISIS is spreading and if we can stop this movement we can stop any future attacks on US soil. Also it is sad that somebody would even behead a person how sadistic do you have to be.
Reaction: When I read this article it made me sick that people are living inside countries plotting to hurt their own citizens. Its just stupid. Also that a group of people our plotting against U.S. but live in our country. You also can't trust anyone,
Opinion: I think it's revenge for what the US did to their leader Osama Bin Laden. I also believe that their may be another attack sadly because ISIS is expanding.
Connection: I chose this topic because this is the main issues that be on the news.

When: This happened on Wednesday but will not take place until Saturday October 4, 2014.
What happened: Turkey is starting to become irritated with ISIS crossing their borders. Since ISIS is crossing their borders Turkey wants to take military action to keep ISIS off their territory. Thousands are passing through Turkey's borders so the Prime Minister asked Parliament to think about using military action. Turkey was severely in chaos from Syria and Iraq. ISIS has been capturing certain areas of Syria and took control of them. Residents in Turkey were told to evacuate for their safety. ISIS has confiscated more than 350 villages from Kobani.

The United States service men who got injured were told to keep their mouths shut. At least 20 U.S. service men were exposed to chemicals. Some of these munitions were made in Europe. So they are partly responsible. Some of these weapons were old. Made before 1991.

When: 10/17/14
What happened : Anita made a video as to how women are being defiled and degraded in video games , especially violent ones. But after that people started threatening her with ape and death warning her to never peak of it again. So after that she annousedy making a speech that nowadays people do not have respect for each other, and so the hide behind computer disrespecting and making people unhappy. and the law is also the problem because they can not get arrested for threatening or disrespecting someone since they are not seen red handed . And that gives the strength to move o with their life. example is a court case where a wife filed a restraining order that the affected the man. He decided to retaliate by posting on face book saying that folding up a pfa and putting it in his pocket will not stop a bullet . Meaning that he was going to kill the woman, posing a danger to the woman.
Why is this event relevant: this event is relevant because teenager now a days are prone to these kind of things and so raising aweness will help other people.

Article Date: This article was published October 23,2014.
Who: The people mainly involved is the doctor which had the ebola virus.
Where:This article took place in New York City.
When:The NYC may have contracted ebola around some time at the end of september
What happened: A Doctor named Craig flew over to guiena to help with ebola patients.After returnig back home in New York City he started having symptoms of the deadly virus.The officialls isolated him from everyone and everything he came in contact with, they even put his wife in quartined.Although catching the ebola virus is slim ,this was very suprising to everyone.The result of letting people back in to the United states with the ebola virus airlines are now becoming more strict.Anyone who comes back from Africa to the united states has to be under supervision for 21 days in case they have any symptoms.
Why this event is relevant :This event is relevant because the airlines became more srtict with the ebola virus.
Reaction:I think that what airlines is doing is very needed because ebola is a very deadly disease and by checking and making sure that noboby is slipping through our country with ebola it decreses the risk of an epidemic.
Opinoin:it is scary to think that if you come into contact with an ebola patient that you would automatically be quarntined and tested.
Connection: A connection is that two ebola cases has actually been here in philadelphia and the two patients had actually died and was related to one another.
