ReplyDeleteArticle Title: Fort Lauderdale Latest City to Restrict Feeding Homeless
Article Date: October 22nd 2014
Who: Elizabeth Chuck
Where: Fort Lauderdale, Florida
When: October 22nd 2014
What happened: A city law was passed in Fort Lauderdale that regulated groups from handing out food to the homeless within 500 feet of residential properties, homeless asking for money at busy intersections and made it illegal to sleep on public property.
Why this event is relevant: this event is relevant because Fort Lauderdale is one of a lot of major cities that is doing the same thing. These cities are encouraging ministries to stop handing out the food and persuade the homeless to go to the city shelters. A community organizer named Michael Stoops say that the cities just want to send all the homeless out of the downtown areas to another part of the city. A national homeless expert named Robert Marbut believes that this is a good idea. He believes feeding homeless people on the street doesn't help them to recovery. He believes that churches should move there meal programs to place that help people with mental and substance abuse.
Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes) I agree with Mr.Stoop and Mr. Marbut.
Opinion (I think..) I think the major cities are trying to hide there problem concerning homeless people. These cities want there downtown clean so the visitors can come to the city and spend lots of money In my opinion the mayor don't care about homeless people he don't want to help them out with there mental and drug problems. Mr. Marbut had a good idea by giving food out at the rehab centers and people that need help.
Connection (why you chose this article) I chose this article because some of the time when I see a homeless person I get very sad. It is very cold out there in the winter and I see a lot of them eating out of trash cans. I believe a lot of them have mental problems if they are willing to sleep out on the streets and don't go to the overcrowded city shelters.
I think I see the logic behind this. It makes sense to create this kind of policy if your objective is to encourage more homeless to utilize the city's homeless shelter.

ReplyDeleteArticle Title:The most sensible GOP alternative to ObamaCare comes from a Senate candidate who is almost sure to lose
Article Date:October 23,2014
Who:Ed Gillespie, Republican party
Where:There is no location in this article, but i assume that it will take place in the USA based on their plan.
When:Earlier Today
What happened: Ed Gillespie feels as though ObamaCare is not the best type of health care for american citizens. Instead of supporting ObamaCare, he came up with his own form of Health care. The idea of his health care is that health-care exchanges go away, and people who don't receive health benefits from their job can receive tax credit from the government. Teens and younger adults could also receive some form of tax credit that would increase every 10 years. To Ed Gillespie, "the Affordable Care Act" did nothing but fixed a couple minor issues. He believes that Gillispiecare is a modest and affordable step in the right direction
Why this event is relevant:This is relevant because i hear a lot on the news about Obamacare problems and this new idea could be the solution to Health care problems in the united states
Reaction: i don't really have any feelings toward this because i don't know much about health care.
Opinion: I think that this idea could work because it seems like its focused more on the needs of all the citizens and not just the employed ones.
Connection: I chose this article because this is something new that i've never heard about untill now.

ReplyDeleteArticle Title: The title of this article is, “Ex-counterterror chief: U.S. lost track of terrorists after Snowden”.
Article Date: My event took place on Wednesday October 22, 2014.
Who: This article involves President Barrack Obama, Former NSA Contractor Edward Snowden, U.S.A. Government, and less than others, ISIS.
Where: This event occurred in the United States of America, however, traveled down to Syria, Russia, and Iraq.
When: It happened in the beginning of October, and is still continuing.
What happened: The United States government intercepted communication with terrorists that they considered were dangerous. However, insight was lost when former NSA Contractor, Edward Snowden decided it was unconstitutional to spy on them. He released the information publicly, causing terrorists to change their way of communication. They changed their emails, passwords, made up new codes, and fell of the grid. It became impossible for the U.S.A to find them. Shortly after, strong terrorist groups such as ISIS, started to form in places like Syria and Iraq. The United States government believes that this a direct result of the information of their secret communication being leaked.
Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because it gives insight into the government’s secrets. It also gives a reasonable explanation of how ISIS and other terrorist groups formed.
Reaction: This article makes me a little nervous because now that the United States lost connection on terrorists, they are free to do whatever they want, like harm and take over.
Opinion: I believe that the United States government should have a tighter grip on their workers, and also their interests. I also believe that the U.S.A should fight harder to kill of ISIS members because they had a chance to prevent this.
Connection : A connection I made was that terrorists are like everyday criminals. When figured out, they immediately try to cover their tracks.

ReplyDeleteArticle Title: Wolf says he'll end food-stamp asset test if elected governor
Article Date: October 24, 2014 3:01 AM
Who: Alfred Lubrano
Where: America
When: 2014
What happened: If Tom Wolf is elected governor, he will end all test for General Assistance (GA). This ties federal food benefits to bank accounts and car ownership. They will stop supplying people with these needs if they fail the test, and it will continue to save America money. This will stop fraud, and waste. This will hurt a great amount of people who depend on assistance from the government, but the voting will still continue.
Why this event is relevant: this is relevant, because a lot of people depend and have very little income, so with out this, they will be struggling with nothing. They will not have anything to work with. This may cause riots and crime rates to brake out, because the people won't be happy with the new rules.
Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes): Surprised, because this is really sad, but it may push the people to get up and stop depending on help from the Government.
Opinion (I think..): I think people should understand that yes the government and law is here to help us, but you have to help yourself in someway. The government cannot do everything for you, and if so things will be really hard to do.
Connection (why you chose this article): Test corrections and possibly cutting food stamps go hand and hand, because they are basically saying if you do good, than you won't need them. If you work hard enough on a test and study you won't need help afterwards correcting them. Lastly, food stamps and if you work hard enough you probably won't really need them.
I think you misunderstood the article. (btw- your article was more challenging to find since your web address provided was not accurate)
DeleteCurrently, there IS an asset test that Gov. Corbett instituted. Wolf is running with intent to END this asset test. So you're talking about potentially ending this if Wolf is elected, not beginning this new rule.
Lastly, I love your connection to test corrections and food stamps; interesting tie to school.

Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because they are giving mothers to make certain choices in their lives.

ReplyDeleteArticle Title- Sources: Ottawa gunman had ties to jihadists
Article date: October 23, 2014
In the news, it has been recently reported that a man by the name of Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, is working alongside Syria to make terrorist attacks in the United States. Not enough evidence has been acquired to prove him guilty. Although, when asked, Zehaf-Bibeau denied working with anyone. A newspaper in Canada, The Globe and Mail, recently reported on social media, Zehaf-Bibeau having contact with Hasibullah Yusufzai. Yusufzai is wanted in Canada by the authorities.
Zehaf-Bibeau and Yusufzai's social media connection was too settle to use for information, there was not enough evidence to prove that the two were working together. Further investigation will continue. This is relevant because I don't think anyone in America wants to go to war or feud with any opposing countries. I believe America as a whole CAN be a peaceful place. This all can connect back to 9/11, America was not expecting the bombing of the Twin Towers yet it happened. We were not looking to fight we were looking to make peace.
This is very unsettling. I bet we will hear more about this as they investigate.

Article Date: October 24,2014
Who: Mother Paula Kassig.
Where: The mother lives in Indianapolis but her son is being held hostage with ISIS.
When: She has tried to reach out to them this past Thursday via Twitter but, her son has been held hostage since October 2013.
What happened: Mother Paula Kassig ples to ISIS to have her son back. Because he has been held hostage since October of 2013. She tries to get their attention through tweets on Twitter. ISIS has released videos of them killing four other captives and at the end of the video Paula Kassing’s son was threatened.
Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because it’s about ISIS and a mother trying to get her son back. Also, because they are playing with someones life.
Reaction: This is crazy it’s been a whole year he has been held hostage. Also, the video must have been bad to watch and then seeing her son threatened at the end had to be a bad experience.
Opinion: I think that his mother should be trying to do more to get her son back.
Connection: I chose this article because I remember reading about ISIS in class but I didn’t know that they had been holding people hostage so I wanted to read more about it.
They have been holding a bunch of people hostage! Typically, journalists have been off-limits as potential hostages, but with ISIS, there are no limits. We don't even know all of the people they have hostage. Supposedly, they have threatened to kill a hostage per month until the western military forces retreat. So sad.

ReplyDeleteArticle Title: White House Seeks Support from Allies, Congress for Potential Iran Deal
Article Date: Oct. 23, 2014 7:41 p.m. ET by Jay Solomon, and Carol E. Lee
Who: The people who are involved are those of the United States including our President, Barack Obama and the Obama Committee that deals with Foreign Affairs.
Where: The problem lies in Pakistan because the Pakistanis are suspected of making nuclear weapons and not using their nuclear materials for energy as they have said.
When: The agreement is said to be made in the month of November with a lot of negotiation taking place in the days between now and then.
What happened: The President of the United States, Barack Obama along with others in the white house are trying to forge agreements with those in Iran to dismantle any materials that may have been gathered to form nuclear devices for mass destruction. In Iran many have said that nuclear weapons are not in production and that the nuclear component radium is used only for energy production. With this the U.S. committee of Foreign affairs have moved to the scene to make some sort of agreement of dismantling any and all weapons of nuclear warfare which seems to be in the thousands range. Progress has been made with a report of 4,000 nuclear weapons being dismantled, but it still leaves more to be done.
Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because everybody knows what is happening in Syria with the terrorist group ISIS. Iran is very close to Syria which holds many members of the ISIS group. Certain problems can unfold from one country holding too many possible weapons of mass destruction that could impact the lives of millions of people today.
Reaction (I am in agreement with what Barack and the Whitehouse are trying to accomplish. I was a not at all surprised to find out that they had found nuclear weapons in Iran, because lets be serious, what nation would not hold on to a weapon of mass destruction to wart of other nations advancements of violence. Also I am sort of worried that if the right words are not spoken things may take a turn for the worst. )
Opinion (I think it is wise to talk down Iran in trying to take out their nuclear weapons because there is really no need for it. The use of those weapons only proves to cause messes that cannot be fixed so easily.
Connection ( I have only shot a gun once and that was at the shooting range, but with the production of these weapons anything can and will go wrong. It is a part of everyday life that never stops to ruin a chain of lives.
Relations with Iran seem to be better today than the last several decades. I'm hopeful we will see real change in foreign relations.

Michael Brown autopsy, officer's account indicate teen went for Ferguson cop’s gun, had marijuana in his system: report
Article Date:This article is dated October 22 , 2014
Who:This deals with Ferguson , Missouri Citizens . The Police Department & Mike Brown
Where:This is in Ferguson, Missouri
When: This article happened 10 weeks after Mike Brown's death which was August , 9 , 2014
What happened: In this event the independent medical examiner said that Mike Brown had marijuana in his system at the time of the shooting . A few minutes before the shooting Mike Brown stole a box of cigars . Now they are trying to say that Mike Brown attacked the officer and that's why he was shot in the hand . The officer is trying to say that him and Mike Brown was fighting for a while and when the officer finally got a hold of the gun he let off two shots and when Mike Brown tried to come at him again he fired three more . Witnesses said that it never happened and Mike Brown surrendered. Everyday after the event citizens have been protesting outside of the police district . Everyday Police have made numerous amounts of arrest for assaulting the police . Nomatter what the citizens doesn't stop protesting they keep pushing . They are going to keep doing this until justice is served.
Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because this is eye catching around the whole United States and a lot of people want justice and this is like another Trayvon Martin case . People have had enough and want justice .
Reaction: my reactions to this is Im really not sure what to think . I don't know the whole story and every time I research on it , there's a different story everytime and it's really confusing me . I think the police shouldn't have shot him that many times .
Opinion: I am proud to see a lot of black people coming together and protesting , instead of shooting at police or setting the police station on fire . I also think that this is making the world aware of the racial discrimination .
Connection: I Selected this because besides ISIS , this is a big problem in our nation because decades later there is still racism around .
I agree with your opinion. In such a heartbreaking story, I always hope something positive will transpire. It is important to speak up and question authority sometimes. It also sheds much needed light on racial divisions still present in this country. This autopsy does change the level of guilt possible for Officer Wilson. The shot to the hand does eliminate the proposed theory that Brown was retreating. Either way, this conversation must continue until justice is served.
