ReplyDeleteArticle Title: Obama on ISIS: 'Expect Long-Term Campaign'
Article Date: October 14, 2014 (UPDATED)
Who: President Barack Obama
Where: Joint Base Andrews, outside of Washington D.C.
When: Did not mention
What happened: Obama attended a meeting, involving U.S. military leaders, some Iraqi Military leaders, and Syrian opposition members to discuss that the "ISIS Campaign" is in fact a long-term thing. Most people thought that Obama would appear to take affirmative action with this situation and then let it "go by". However, he has now proved with all the planned airstrikes and meetings that he is completely serious.
Why this event is relevant: Because this lets everyone know that President Obama has not shrugged this topic off and that he's willing to do whatever it takes to put an end to ISIS's "reign".
Reaction: I'm pleased by President Obama's move because personally I have not heard any news about ISIS for the past few weeks and I thought maybe it was a topic shrugged off. However with this article, I now realize that Obama and the U.S. military have not given up their efforts.
Opinion: I applaud Obama for what he's continuing to do. He has met with military leaders of countries surrounding Syria and has informed them of his plan of to keep this ISIS campaign a long term goal.
Connection: I chose this article because like I said before, I thought the ISIS elimination topic had settled down because I have not heard about it in awhile. However after reading this article I am pleased to know it has not settled down but rather is ongoing.

ReplyDeleteArticle title-News disasters.
Article date-October 8th 2014
Who?Eric Ducan
Where?-this article took place in the united States.
When?-this article took place October 8th but other events took place during that week as well like on October 12th Thomas Duncan treatment begin.
What?-a man name Thomas Duncan cane to the united States specifically Texas from west Africa specifically Liberia because he found that he was diagnosed with Ebola.
Why?- Thomas Duncan came to the united states came to the united State because he wanted to find a cure for Ebola.
Reaction-my reaction to this article was wow, I personally think he brought Ebola to the united states which means it can spread quickly and more people will get it and its scary and hard to cure.
Opinion-my opinion is that more people will start getting it and the more people who get it the more it will spread and be effective. Also its hard to go out and be surrounded by people because you never know what they have. They could have Ebola and you'll never know. Also I found it strange how the guy on the news mother and brother died from Ebola they were African Americans but the haspanics had cures and survived.
Connection- the connection I made to this article is my other article that I read was similar to thus article because it talked about how Ebola got here and it also talked about cures and what could be done. Cures may not always work especially on everyone and its sometimes heart breaking when the doctor knows that the patient is dying because they couldn't find the proper cure or it just didn't work.. Like cancer cells attacking each other sometimes chemotherapy isn't enough to help sometimes you have to find other outside the countries to find a cure. So hopefully its a cure like somewhere for Ebola because it would be very disappointing for someone to have this illness and not have a cure that will work.

ReplyDeleteArticle Title:Ebola Outbreak: Liberia Needs 79,940 More Body Bags
Article Date:October 15 2014
Who: Liberian patients
Where: Liberia
When: the present
What happened: Ebola is speeding widely in Liberia. The virus has taking a deadly toll on the country, thousands have died from this virus. It came to the point where Liberia needed to get 80,000 more body bags for the victims that died from Ebola. As of October 10 2014 2,425 Liberians have died and this is including 95 health care workers. Some soldiers have been deployed to Liberia to tackle this virus. The U.S. Will also send 5,000 more body bags to Liberia.
Why this event is relevant:this is relevant because many of innocent people are dying because of this deadly virus. Also people are trying their best to stay away from this virus but it's hard because it's so easy to get. Also it's relevant because it's now inside of the U.S. And this is a scary thing.
Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes) I'm nervous about this virus because of its already over here its chances that's it'll stay here and won't go away. Also because of all the people that's getting it in Liberia it's sad because they don't have the advance medical treatment that's we have and and that's not fair to them.
Opinion (I think..) that the medical people find a cure for this sooner than later. I think that the problem will hopefully resolve its self.
Connection (why you chose this article) I choose this article because when I first heard of Ebola I made a connection to the movie contagion. And how one little thing was passed in and passed on and killed so many people and that's what happening with Ebola.

ReplyDeleteTitle- Scots decide whether to declare independence.
Date- September 18, 2014 was the date.
Who- Scotland's government is who it's about.
Where- Scotland is where it is at.
When- September 18, 2014 was when it happened.
What happened- Scotland wants to become a independent state. Many Scots wanted to stray away from the union in England. Voters went out to vote when it started at 7:00 am. The outcome will be announced on Friday September 19, 2014. Scottish independence is important to the Scottish citizens.
Relevance- This event is relevant because it is currently happening today. It shows how serious countries take independence. Being independent shows you can do things on your own. The United States is one of those countries. England controls Scotland so they are trying to break away from that.
Reaction- My reaction is that this isn't surprising. You would think Scotland would've tried this years ago. It makes perfect sense. They want their own laws. They want their government to control how they live.
Opinion- In my opinion this is a good idea. It shows that countries still care about things like that. Independence can take you a long. Makes you feel like you can do things on your own. This shows good leadership.
Connection- I chose this article because it stood out to me. There were many other articles but I can relate to this one. I like to not depend on people for a lot of reasons. One is that I don't want to feel like I owe somebody something. Also I don't want people saying they are the reason for my success.

Anthony Scarsella from Gazelle.com said that gotten offers of at least $600 for iPhone 5s and iPhone 5Cs. Since then people have been starting more businesses for consumers. The thing that makes the process of re-selling your old electronics is that the consumers are able to get a warranty of the product. This has been a huge spread of consumption across America. Many people wanted to know it the item was going to actually work after the bought it. This process helps everybody to get what they want.
Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because it has been happening for many years and is still continuing today.

When: This event took place October 16, 2014
What happened: After climbing the fence and running into the white house with a weapon, the iraq veteran was charged with crimes, but was pleaded not guilty, following this, more charges were filed against him. Those charges include two federal counts of assaulting, resisting, or hindering certain officers and employees, and one count of unlawful possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device.
Why this event is relevant: This is relevant because it shows that some people will do anything, any type of way to hurt Government officials.

1. This Article is about how a man named Sabein C. Burgess was convicted of a crime, but after all the trials he was let free. After spending 19 years in prison without punishment.
ReplyDelete2. This happened in Baltimore City Circuit Court
3. It started on Oct. 1994
4. Burgess was convicted of first degree murder, after allegedly killing his girlfriend in the basement of their house. Evidence was found that Burgess had gunpowder on his hands and residue from the gun. Neighbors heard shots so police were call. when pull into handcuffs he was read his rights. Then trials were set ,but there was a snowstorm. So it was delayed. After delaying trials and new evidence coming up like confessions. It was 19 years when he received his trial. So the judge decided to let him go.
5. I think that his rights was violated. There should be no reason for someone to wait 19 years before being trial. Then to find out that he was innocent the whole time. The evidence should have been pull on the table unless there was an adequate counsel somewhere.
6. In Civics we learned that you have the right to a speedy trial, but he didn't get a trial at all until 19 years later. Which is another right violated.

ReplyDeleteArticle Title: U.S. Ebola Response Is Slammed by Lawmakers
Article Date: Updated Oct. 16, 2014 10:47 p.m. ET
Who: Barack Obama, Fred Upton
Where: This news takes place in Dallas, Texas
When: On Thursday a call for National Guard troops and reservist has been sent out due to our President Barack Obama and the recent problems caused by the new and spreading virus in Africa known as Ebola.
What happened: In Dallas, Texas at one of the hospitals it was said that two nurses have attracted the virus due to a mishap of some sort when they treated a Liberian man who was a patient. Discussions on what happed have been taking place as many government officials retrace steps that may have lead from infected nurses as she was checked for the Ebola viruses after boarding. Leading back to the planes Obama discusses that if the evaluators of the Ebola situation say the problem is out of hand then a ban on air flights to and from Africa are to be put in order. Even though reports have come in and shown that the virus is in the U.S. bans still have not been called for. Also having spoken to the doctors of the hospital in Dallas, the doctors admitted to there being a mishap in treating the patient causing the transfer of the virus. It was thought to be through misplacement of clothes, but since then strict upkeep of all nurse personnel has been put into place making all protective gear ready on the spot.
Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because it is the most new and upcoming news and seems to be starting to affect many people. Multiples of people can run into this problem and the word needs to be spread on what to avoid.
Reaction (I feel as though many jobs that could have been done to the upmost extent have not been done to the upmost extent, because if that was the case then reports about the virus being in our country and spreading would not be going around.)
Opinion ( I think that most officials and others have gotten a late start and now the consequences are showing up and causing problems that cannot be solved until a considerable amount of time has been used to study and decode how to stop this virus.
Connection ( I can understand that the reports may be a bit dramatic, but sometimes the dramatic reports hit the right type of build up the problem is worth.)

Article Date: Wed October 15, 2014
Who: United States and Iraq
Where: Iraq
When: 2003
What happened: Iraq is saying the United states have secretly bombed them back in 2003 and told 17 people not tell. They are currently saying that they were reportedly given inadequate care and told not to talk about what happened. Iraq says they secretly reported finding roughly 5,000 chemical warheads, shells or aviation bombs. Iraq think the united states have secretly gone to war. They say all 17 people were left with mustard burns. They also claimed that 20 were wounded by chemical agents.
Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because if Iraq actually really do believe that we bombed they will most likely try to get us back in some way of form from something that's from 10 years ago.
Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes): While reading this i was upset because Iraq is seriously saying we bombed them and they have prove of it but is just now saying something almost 10 years later.
Opinion (I think..) I think that Iraq needs to stop lying because they will cause unnecessary problems in the world today.

What happenede: This is article is about two lawyers, that compares the trial about the crime of the cabdriver to the fiction criminal television shows and how they best fit for the trial in this situation.
Why this event is relevant: This article is relevant because one day I would have to be a jury to do my job as a citizen. When the people who were evicted of crime, I would know what too look for if they are lying or telling the truth.
Reaction- This comparison of the trial about the cabdriver with a trial television show makes me want be apart of a trial or a crime scene just have a say in something that could probably change the whole trial around.
Opinion (I think..)- I think this was suspicious that they could not have find the man who actually killed the cab driver instead of just asking the Alexander, the man who was involved, where he is.
Connection- I chose this article because it seemed interesting about the differences in reality court and fantasy.
