Where: El Salvador
When: Sunday, Nov. 9, 2014
What happened: This article was about a murder of four American churchwomen in 1980 taken in El Salvador.

Federal Government Boosts Pressure on States’ Teacher-Equity Plans
Article Date: Updated Nov. 10, 2014 7:51 p.m. ET Updated Nov. 10, 2014 7:51 p.m. ET
Who: The Federal Government
Where: In the United States of America
When: On Monday.
What happened: The Federal government is urging many of the states to study the quality of teachers so the many students who come from families with very low income and different races all have an opportunity to learn their best with highly qualified teachers. The Federal government has compiled 4.2million dollars to share with the multitude of states, so that in return attentions can be brought to the collection of ideas by all states by June. The ideas would help to evaluate certain teachers that could go to school of less attention and help them build good infrastructures into their students lives.
Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because there still are lots of schools that are overlooked when it comes to the qualities of teachers and how they provide education for future persons. This is a major problem that needs an answer that will actually be helpful and benefit all.
Reaction (I do understand the need for good teachers because the right person can make all the difference for either one or more lives that may be affected negatively by other factors in their life.)
Opinion (I think that if this call for teachers do go right that everything will go on to become well, while there still is a chance that many things could go wrong because even though they’re students from low income families and that they are different they may still have attitudes that many nice people may not want to put up with and that they do not have to put up with. If you think about it teachers already know what they needed to learn to survive, so if a hard time is given to them if they quit you just made a problem for yourself.)
Connection (I have seen good teachers come and go and many of them may stay for the good students, but when that is not the case you just dig yourself into a whole as a bad student. I know most of the teachers in my school do not play games, because if they did their education values for the students would not be as high as they are, that’s what I believe.)

This has become the largest outbreak of this virus ever to be recorded.Schools have shut down, elections have been postponed, mining and logging companies have withdrawn, farmers have abandoned their fields.

The acceleration of any new case or cases,could easily overwhelm them.

ReplyDeleteArticle Title: Poverty, Obesity Go Hand in Hand, State by State, Studies Find
Who: Impoverished Americans
Where: In poor states of America
When: November 13, 2014
What happened: A study went out that shows a trend between poverty and obesity. In America’s richest states there tends to be slimmer citizens whereas in the nation’s poorest states there tend to be bigger citizens. This could be a number of factors but it primarily says outdoor activity and health choices affects the people’s weight. Places like Montana isn’t rich or poor but its rich in natural resources which makes citizens want to walk and be out. Poor places tend to not have any attractions outside thus making citizens stay in. Food choices is also an important thing.
Why this event is relevant: This event is relevant because its about the well-being of Americans.
Reaction: This makes me think more and feel lucky I live in an okay state,
Opinion: I think that the reason behind this is also because of fast food chain availability. There may be more McDonalds in these poor states and since McDonalds offers a huge amount of protein for a small amount of money, being overweight is guaranteed. Poverty is something that we may can’t fix instantly but we can fix obesity. I think that we should limit the amount of fast food restaurants in poorer states and we’ll be able to defeat the problem of obesity.
Connection: I chose this article because eating at McDonalds recently I seen all of the fats one can consume for low prices. This made me think about poorer people with low budgets that can only afford McDonalds and other fast foods and how this might be a real issue.

Article Date:
Who: President Obama, Governor Anthony Brown, Democratic parties
Where: Maryland, Georgia, South and North Carolina, and other places in the south
When: October 19, 2014
What happened:
Why this event is relevant: this article is relevant because it discusses several different unequal events that not only happened decades ago but in the year 2014. Within politics you don't usually see a lot o reaching out to a certain group of people but by doing so the outcome could be much greater. By letting the black communities know that there vote can make a difference and let their opinion be known the Democratic Party has opened up an opportunity for more blacks to want to vote.
Reaction: I feel a little in different towards the article. Personally going to a school for 9 years that was centered around African American history has made given a strong outlook on the subject. Sometimes I get a little tired of hearing blacks say we have to do something because our ancestors caught for it or we need to do this because we have the right to be equal. To me it is sad that racism and racial stereotypes and things of that nature are still so prevalent that they are being used in politics. Hearing about cases like Mike Brown takes me back to learning about segregation in the 4th grade, shouldn't we be over this by now? But somehow I know the answer to that is no because we as a society are so closed minded and stuck in our old ways.
Opinion: I think that what the democratic parties are doing is for a good cause. By getting the information out there they are paving the way for more people to vote. It is known that if you know more about something then you will be more likely to be for it. In the black communities it is widely known that we did not always have equal rights such as voting. Most blacks don't vote but if they want to see a change that is beneficial to them and their communities they most get more involved.
Connection: I picked this article because it talks about several serious events that have occurred way back in history and even as close as this year.

Article Date:November 13,2014
Who: 15 year old Yasir.
Where:This took place in Gaziantap, Turkey.
When:This happened two weeks ago.
What happened:15 year old Yasir was a trained ISIS soldier. HIm and other kids were kept away from their family and loved ones for a month, they weren’t allowed to speak or see anyone.He said they made them do different things to train like run for 2 kilometer and if they stopped they would be shot. ISIS made videos and put them on the internet.Yasir thought it was right to stay with ISIS but his dad tricked him into going to Turkey with him and explained to him that they were not following the right religious beliefs.
Why this event is relevant: This is relevant because these are kids being used to fight and they are only kids not even able to live their lives and they life could be taken away in a second.
Reaction: This is horrible 15 year old? Being soldiers and carrying explosives and took away from their families is outrageous.
Opinion : I think more of the kids that are there need to have parents like Yasir and try to get them to stop being soldiers.
Connection: I chose this article because I have been a little interested in the whole ISIS topic since we read in class, I just wanted to find out more stuff that is going on.
Sadly, this is nothing new. Countries in Africa have been guilty of taking in tons of children and forcing them to become soldiers in their armies.

Where: Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
When: November 13, 2014
What happened: Pennsylvania has maxes out with money, and will soon face an outrageous budget cut estimated from 1.85 to 2 million dollars. Pennsylvania as a whole will suffer in the years of 2015-16 due to this cut. The state has maxes out its borrowing.
Why this event is relevant: This is relevant, because Pennsylvania is running out of money while in a recession. With the money being limited and budgets cut, this may result in possibly more schools in the state closing.
Reaction (describe your feelings or attitudes): I am not surprised to hear that this state is running out of money, because recently schools were shut down due to lack of money.
Opinion (I think..): I think it is very sad and unfortunate that as a resident of Pennsylvania, we basically have no money, but when it comes to the irrelevant things, suddenly there is money to fix or redecorate.
Connection (why you chose this article): I chose this article to show how the state barely has money for anything these days, and kids have to suffer from these mistakes.

Article Date: November 13, 2014
Who: Omar Gonzalez, Secret Service
Where: Washington, DC
When: Month of September
What happened: This article basically explained an incident that took place in Washington, DC that involved an intruder, carrying a knife, jumping over the White House security gates, and easily getting passed security. What makes this incident so significant is that he was only inches away from where President Barack Obama was just standing a few minutes ago, before he left for a meeting. This article's main focus however, was on the Secret Services failure to protect the White House from incidents like this that they practice for.
Why this event is relevant: This article is relevant because it could have potentially put the President's life in danger.
Reaction: My reaction to this article was disbelief because they are considered "elite" and prepared to take on anything, but they can't even keep watch on the White House properly because an intruder easily snuck into the White House.
Opinion: In my opinion, their excuse was bull. I feel as though the White House will make up any kind of lie to cover up their mistakes, and this is a perfect example of one.
Connection: I would hate to make a connection to this because I refuse to be known as a failure.

Why this event is relevant: This article is relevant because it has to do with the economy in America. The economy is very important and needs some improvements. Now that oil price has drop that means gas price will drop. Meaning spending less money on oil barrels and saving more money. That will help the economy grows and improve.

Article Date- 14 November 2014
This article explains the "peaking" of the of ISIS. The actions of ISIS seems to make things look as if they are overwhelmed by the airstrikes. These airstrikes have limited the freedom and movement of ISIS. Barrack Obama even says that the airstrikes have degraded ISIS's abilities to attack and make plans. This is important to me because this may be able to the ISIS has been destroying the world. It's not fair that ISIS sees themselves as dominant because they're not better than anyone, especially if they are killing and making disruptions. In my opinion it would be good if ISIS was destroyed completely and forever.

What happened: The president felt as though it was necessary to over step congress because they were trying not to pass laws involved with over seas traveling , thus he proceeded on with his own plans for the law .
Why this event is relevant: Its relevant because many people may want to some day travel but how could that be possible if they are unable due to the congress they voted on to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Reaction : I feel as though this is the right thing to do because people may have holiday plans coming up and it's not fair if they can't fly out to see their families .
Opinion : I think no one else is better suited to handle international tasks such as this one , claps to president Obama .
Connection!: I myself always loved to travel with my family and in due time it maybe Asia that I wanna go to so it's connected to everyone because people has business to tend to as well and they will need to travel .
