    Article Date: This article was published Wed September 17, 2014.
    Who: This article involved Ray Rice, Roger Goodell, Union.
    Where: This took place in the NFL player's union.
    When: This event happened earlier this year.
    What happened: Ray Rice was suspended by Roger Goodell for two games and he had to pay an equivalent of another games pay. For them hearing about him punching his wife and knocking her out. But when they seen the actual video Rice punishment was increased to an indefinite suspension. But his case was being faught, because the union stated that under governing labor laws, a player/ employee can't be punished twice for the same action when they knew all the facts the first time around. So it's really up in the air if Ray Rice suits up this season or ever again. So because of all this commotion with Rice's suspension, Goodell made some rules on domestic violence involving the players. First offense player is suspended for at least six games, and second offence is life time ban. But that rule dosen't involve Rice's punishment.
    Why this event is relevant: This event is relevent because it involves sports and domestic violence.
    Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes) I was surprised when I heard about this because of what happened. I dont understand why you would hurt a person you love or how it even got that serious.
    Opinion (I think..) I think that Ray Rice should definetly be punished because what he did was unprofessional and unexceptable.
    Connection (why you chose this article) I feel as though I have a big connection to this article because of me being a female.

    Article Title: Immigration worker union warns ‘serious threat’ of ISIS entering US.

    Article Date: September 18, 2014.

    Who: ISIS, the National Citizenship and Immigration Services Council, the US.

    Where: The United States.

    When: Wednesday, September 17th, 2014.

    What happened: The US was warned that ISIS could be coming here by a man named Kenneth Palinkas, who works for the National Citizenship and Immigration Services Council. He warned that they could get in through the southern border, or with fake visas. Many people, including Kenneth, have been saying that ISIS could spread into the US, but security officials said that they don’t see that happening. Kenneth believes that terrorists could easily get into the US with visas, and many of them overstay their visas without anyone coming to tell them to leave. Jeh Johnson, a who works in Homeland Security, says that our government has no evidence stating that ISIS was plotting to cross the southern border. Many people seem to believe that ISIS could easily cross the southern border, since they think it’s under protected, but the military and government has not said anything about this.

    Why this event is relevant: This is relevant because ISIS is becoming more and more strong by the day, and if they pose a threat to us, then the US need to get on it. They could at least protect the southern border more.

    Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes): I am honestly tired of ISIS. All the news has been talking about is ISIS lately, and if the US should do something about them or not.

    Opinion (I think..): I think the US should just team up with some allies and just go in for a killing, and remove all ISIS components. If not, people will be talking about ISIS forever, and the things people think might actually happen.

    Connection (why you chose this article): I chose this article because we’ve been talking about ISIS in class, and I’ve been hearing about it a lot in the news and media.

Why this event is relevant: Its relevant because it deals with Barrack Obama and our country's foreign affairs. Reaction (I feel Barrack Obama is doing the right thing. Instead of sending more troops he is forming a military over seas.)Opinion (I think this is a brilliant idea if i was in the senate i would've voted yes too.)

    Article Date: September 17, 2014
    Who:The prime minster, Haider al-Abadli, U.S, shiites
    Where: This happened in Iraq
    When: This event took place in September, 2014
    What happened: This article was saying how a couple of days ago, Haidar al- Abadi was in office and was trying to help the relationship between the Sunnis government and the Suniis and he planned to do it in a few steps. To begin with he demanded security forces from Iraq to stop bombing civilians areas which has caused many injuries. The government selecting Ayad Allawi as vice president. But that doesnt change the fact that the Baghdad government is lacking and has many problems. So can the U.S count on this new government.
    Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because it has to do with our country and if we can rely on them for help.
    Reaction: My reaction was that I wasnt really surprised because alot of countries have these type problems where they want to be neutral and but on countries does something wrong.
    Opinion (I think..) I think the Haidar Abdul- Abadi was right for trying to neutralize this situation. But i think it will get better in the near future.
    Connection (why you chose this artile) I chose this article because it is always interesting to see the U.S. and another country get involved with each other. This is what makes it worth listening about.

    Article Title: The title is, Top general: US ground troops possible in Iraq
    Article Date: This article was published on September 16th, 2014.
    Who: President Barack Obama, ISIS, American military and government officials and involved this current event.
    Where: This event took place in Washington.
    When: This event has been taking place for the past couple of months due to ISIS.
    What happened: General Martin Dempsey spoke with President Obama to see whether or not sending ground troops to join Iraqi troops would be a good idea. Obama responded by saying that taking immediate action was not the best idea, and that America should basically take its time taking action. President Obama believes that evaluating each of ISIS steps carefully is very critical, because America would not want weapons to end up in the wrongs hands. While some government officials disagree with Obama’s decision, one woman in particular actually agrees with what he is doing. Jeanna Shaheen, a fellow Democrat of New Hampshire actually supports Obama’s request. However, other government officials disagree with this decision, because they believe that this could potentially put America at a disadvantage. The main concern now is to make sure that other rebellious groups are not supplying weapons to another extremist. Ultimately, if America does decide to send troops, they will need to enroll in a training program along with the Syrian citizens who have been forced out of their homes.
    Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant, because it it talks about the evaluation of President Obama sending ground troops to Iraq.
    Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes) I think the decision that Obama make is actually a well thought out plan, because being hot-headed and jumping the gun to send ground troops over seas now could put America in a war that is not yet necessary. Taking things slow to observe patterns in ISIS puts the U.S. in a better position on how to actually defeat ISIS.
    Opinion (I think..) I think that the U.S. should not fully put itself in the position as to sending ground troops to Iraq now, because it would create unnecessary drama.
    Connection (why you chose this article) I chose this article because this could potentially determine the fate of America, meaning will this put us in danger of another terrorist attack. Although not all of the government officials agree with President Obama’s decision, there should be some sort of compromise organized, so that the U.S. does not make a mistake that could negatively change lives.

    What happened: Beginning in 1976 and outbreak of Ebola began in West Africa and has killed nearly 2,500 people. This epidemic is rapidly spreading more throughout West Africa. President Barack Obama has said that the rates of the epidemic spreading to the United States are incredibly low. President Obama has been getting more troops and medical supplies in that area to help lower the risk of people dying and the disease spreading. An official named Beth Bell said that the widow with the opportunity to control Ebolaís outbreak is closing. Therefore President Obama and troops are doing what they can to help contain the outbreak.

    Why this event is relevant:~This event is relevant because this has been a deadly disease since 1976 and just because the epidemic did not spread to the U.S. yet doesnít mean that thereís not a possibility.

    Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes) My reaction toward this article was interested because I didn't think that disease took so many lives over the years.

    Opinion (I think..) I think that the President and the militant troops may be doing the best they can to help the epidemic slow down and they have been doing a good enough job to contain it since it has not spread out of West Africa since it began.

    Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant, because ISIS is a terrorist group who are killing civilians and sending threats to the entire region and the United Sates.
    Reaction: I am anxious, because the U.S. are dropping bombs to Syria just to kill a specific group, whole their are still innocent civilians who live there, that may die unexpectedly.
    Opinion: I think, if the U.S. plans does not work , ISIS may try to destroy the U.S.

    Article British Journalist, now ISIS hostage, sends message from terror group
    Article Date: September 18,2014
    Who:ISIS and John Cantlie are involved.
    Where:This article took place in Iraq.
    When:This event occurred in September 2014.
    What happened:Isis had captured John in November 2012. He Hadn't been seen since then. Now he has shown up being held hostage by ISIS. ISIS has forced John Cantlie to record video messages and send them out. ISIS has recently been gathering volunteers by using propaganda and video become o messages. CNN was recently notified that a former Unites States citizen from Boston has joined ISIS. The video that was released this month showed the murders of the two journalists, Steven Sotloff and David Haines.
    Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because ISIS is growing largely and may become unstoppable if they keep increasing. If they continue to make propaganda more people will start to follow them.
    Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes) I am kind of angry because people in the United States are started to become persuaded by ISIS and betraying their home country to join a country against them.
    Opinion (I think..) I think we should try to take down the person responsible for making the videos. If we take out the person responsible for the videos they will not be able to create propaganda. If they can't create propaganda then ISIS would not become as large.
    Connection (why you chose this article) The connection I can make is when I was in U.S. History last year we had to make a propaganda poster for a project. I also can make a connection to when WW1 and WW2 started they recruited using propaganda.
