http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/14/opinion/david-brooks-the-sorting-election.html?ref=opinion&_r=0 I think that this article brings up a lot of questions and problems with the people. This article has a possibility of being biased so the people are only reading one side of things which could change the outcome of how some people view or even who they wind up voting for. That's the problem today, people are uninformed about what is going on in the world and they are going off what others say rather than what they know.
the article for me just shows how even though two completely different styles of living are basically the same. it shows how diverse the country it, and how beneficial it is economically. but it is socially and politically challenging. the article brought how pointless and uncreative this midterm campaign was. the writer called it a political trench warfare. it shows how much the point of political representation has changed.
I have to agree with this article bacause how can you get the full story if you don't ask both sides? I think that when you don't get both sides of ever, then you don't the full story. For example, in school, when people get into a fight, how is the teacher going to know exactly what happen if they don't know both sides. You will never know unless you know the full story unless you ask witnesses, and the other fighter. With politics, if the government doesn't ask both sides what they think about new ideas, they could come up with the wrong idea and it could back fire even worse.
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/14/opinion/the-worsening-ebola-crisis.html?ref=opinion This is such a big problem in todays society. A lot of people joke about it and say theres no way it could hit them . But this is effecting so many in Africa and Texas. Its spreading like wildfire and no one can figure out a way to stop it. There hasn't been a vaccine or a treatment created yet that can stop this horrible virus. Its already causing panic across the states and across the entire world in the fear of it spreading and reaching them.
I agree that this is a big problem in todays society. In our generation we blow things out of proportion. Ebola has been around for a while, but when people in America start dying from it , we start reacting. The fact that Americans make jokes about it disappoints me. There was a hospital in Georgia that gave untested medication to patients with symptoms of ebola and the medication really helped them.
I agree that this is going to become a huge problem in The United States soon and I don't think it should be taken as lightly as it is right now. People who are getting this are dieing and we haven't found a way to stop it from killing those people and more people are getting it and are going to get it more and more as time goes on.
I agree that ebola is a growing problem in the United States. I think everyone is starting to realize that this is no joke. People and hospitals everywhere are preparing just in case Ebola spreads to their area. Now that it might be in Ohio all of the hospitals are on high alert.
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/14/opinion/joe-nocera-amazon-plays-rough-so-what.html?ref=opinion In this article, the author writes that Amazon has recently been criticized for becoming too large, creating a monopoly over the ecommerce industry. The author disagrees, writing that Amazon has fought its way to the top fairly, and that they still have many legitimate competitors in multiple industries. I completely agree with this. Amazon is a perfect example of capitalism at work in the United States. The American idea of equality of opportunity applies here. The founder of Amazon started the company as a small, online book seller. Depriving his company of the right to economic success simply because of their size would be a terrible idea.
Yes. This is similar to AT&T. When they started out they had a huge monopoly across the states. It would be wrong to limit the success of Amazon. They had their fair share of competitors, eBay especially.
http://takingnote.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/10/14/in-north-carolina-isis-is-the-new-wedge-issue/?ref=opinion In this article, the author writes that the race of the North Carolina senatorial seat in North Carolina has recently had the issue of ISIS brought to the forefront of the voters’ attention. The author slams the Republican candidate, Thom Tillis, for running an ad saying that his Democrat opponent, Kay Hagan, missed multiple hearings on the issue of new threats to national security. While I do not agree with the author that this ad is ludicrous, I find it interesting that a matter of national security is an issue in a Senatorial race. Normally, ISIS would not be something that any lone Senator has much control over. This is another example of a candidate leveraging voters’ emotions in an attempt to swing the vote in his favor.
just as i has guessed it. the article basically explain how the campaign with ISIS is going to be a long. president obama was at a meeting with US military officials, and country officials helping to stop ISIS. the meeting was kept somewhat low key, and the syrian opposing members were not permitted to attend this meeting. which in a way is messed up, but im guessing there was reasoning backed up to this. i knew this was going to be a long campaign as soon as obama decided to start sending air strikes. the US should eventually be fully involved. im putting $20 on it (just kidding, i dont have 20 bucks)
I agree that the US should be fully involved. I don't see the good in kind of declaring war. You should either go all in or leave the situation. It was good that he took action but this isnt going to solve anything. Also, I believe that he should communicate what he's doing because all of the secret meetings are just going to stir things up when the people realize that we dont even know what is going on with our country. Obama is a good president but in my grandpas words, he isnt a military man.
I know in the last blog a lot of people wrote about ebola but this article is more updated about the person who got it and it talks about the nurse in Texas who got it and why it;s scary that even with the right PPE, she still got the disease. The article talks about his/her PPE vs. the protective clothing in Africa and how this is going to make it so much harder to prevent. Ebola is scarier and more threatening to the US than me and some other classmates spoke about in the last blog. This really changes how America views Ebola breaking out in the US,
In this article it talks about the fears of Ebola reaching the US which is very likely, because now that hospitals are full, patients have to be cared for from home, and those people aren't going to be sidposing of their safety gear correctly. As Ebola spreads through West Africa the greater the chance of Eboloa reaching other countries such as the US, because of local travelers to and from Africa which are now being tested for Ebola before coming into the US or other countries.
In this article Frank Bruni talks about how Ebola is irrelevent because we can't prevent it, and that we should ignore it, and focus on the yearly flu that kills 3,000-50,000 people. This is true, however right now Ebola is the main focus because we are trying to prevent this from entering and killing more people along with the number of people that will die this year due to the flu. The author does have a good point, because we should be fixating on trying to fix the flu, but we have made vaccines for the flu in attempt to bring the number of casualties down.
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/14/opinion/reproductive-rights-on-the-ballot.html?partner=rssnyt&emc=rss This article talks about reproductive rights, which is abortion, and how its on the ballot is Tennessee, North Dakota, and Colorado. The author mainly gives straight facts, not really an opinion so I'm just going to say mine: I think abortion should be legal but with some sort of regulation or restrictions. I believe that for some women, a child would be very unfortunate for the mother as well as the baby. I don't think a baby should be born if they are going to struggle to survive and possibly die after birth because of living conditions or circumstances. I attend church and they might disagree with me, but I don't see a problem with women having the option as a last resort.
This makes a lot more sense than just right or wrong. I never thought of it this way but I agree. There should definitely be restrictions, and they should be able to choose. Some children go through things they shouldnt have to and it would be a lot easier to have rules instead of just no or yes. It's a very big deal and it sounds extremely wrong. I consider it murder. It's considered a "double homicide" when a pregnant woman is murdered, but at the same time it's hard to say you "can't" and you "don't have a choice" when many children suffer due to parents not being able to take care of them that won't go to adoption.
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/16/opinion/deadly-alliances-against-muslims.html When I first read the title, I didn't think much of it because there are already a lot of people against Muslims. But when I read the article it was Buddhist radicals in south Asia. I found this very interesting because you always hear about the south Asian religions, Hinduism and Buddhism being so peaceful. Them forming an alliance against Muslims and willing to get violent bothers me, and the author of this editorial as well, because this almost makes them no different than ISIS, rejecting other beliefs because they're different.
This article makes me wonder why we don't help other countries build hospitals. we have to take caution everywhere we go. It is disappointing that some countries don't have the right medical supplies to help people. I think we should give India more medical help to deal with their health crisis. With people coming over from Africa Ebola could quickly spread to india, but because they don't have the right medical help, this could cause more people to die
So Israel is building and expanding their territories and even though other countries have been like "hey man stop that's illegal" Israel just keeps going ahead and continuing what they're doing. Pretty much Israel and Palestine have no real set borders and this is causing a lot of conflict and many other things as well. And it's just leading to more and more death. All the while Britain is saying that Israel needs to settle down and stop attacking.
About 47 Shiite houthis were killed earlier October 9th. They were protesting in Yemen, and one suicide bomber went off after the prime ministers speech. Another bomber went to a security outpost driving a vehicle filled with explosives killing 20 soldiers. No group has claimed the responsibility of the bombings.
Guys this article is about how statistics show girls play more video games than boys. We all know that studies aren't always accurate but I can believe this one. When we were younger and when cell phones were very basic, guys would generally play video game consoles over girls. Since the evolution of the smart phone games have become more accessible many of them being free. Since there isn't a wide gender gap in cell phone usage I believe this statistic. Think about all the people who play candy crush and temple run. I like this article because it gets us away from the scary Ebola and ISIS stuff and it relates to pop-culture.
http://mobile.nytimes.com/2014/10/15/opinion/frank-bruni-scarier-than-ebola.html this article referred to Ebola as another problem that relates to so many others in the country and world that we choose to ignore. Influenza and STI's are just a few of the other diseases that are shoved our way, causing thousands of deaths, but yet 75% of people who have HIV have no clue they have it. Thousands of people die every year from the flu.... But yet only 45% of Americans received the vaccine. Yes. Ebola is a huge threat to our country and many others, but there are so many other diseases that go without recognition. The author is simply telling us to wake up. And I think we should listen.
http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/10/opinion/brazile-same-sex-marriage/index.html?hpt=op_bn6 This article is about gay marriage and what the government thinks about it. In the article it states that, "This week's legal drama around same-sex marriage makes me worry that they're all thinking more about politics than doing right by the Constitution." I agree with this quote because to many people worry about the same sex getting married and sooner or later if everyone is worried about it then no one with care about the constitution. In my opinion I think that everyone should be happy, no matter is they are the same sex or not. I don't understand why people worry so much about this if it doesn't effect their life. I think people should mind their own business. I don't know how other people feel about and I don't care but I think everyone deserves to be happy.
I agree that same sex marriage shouldn't be represented in a personal manner, but rather how it will effect the government overall. Although, a lot of the representatives probably worry more of the political side rather than the constitutional side (which this issue isn't stated in), because mid term elections are coming up. " Reputation is Power". Of course most will curve this issue due to the obvious fact that a representative could lose their campaign over it, or win with 100%. The town or community have effect into this. Such as, a rural community may oppose completely because of the size of population, but in urban communities this issue could go far.
http://mobile.nytimes.com/2014/10/18/opinion/free-pigs-from-the-abusive-crates.html Yes this article is about pigs but is it not important? Is it because they're animals? Filthy stinky animals? Well guess what so are we. So does that mean that we should be stuck in cages until we die? I don't think so. So neither should they. I'm not saying to have a 5 star hotel with room service but they should bbe able to move around at least. Shouldn't they? I mean if you were stuck in a cage for almost all your life what would you do? How would you feel? Well wouldn't you think that they felt the same way? Trapped, lonely, abandoned. They feel emotions too.
I completely agree with you on this. Maybe not the part about us being filthy animals. But yeah I think it's cruel for an animal to be trapped in a cage for their entire life. It's not fair and nobody had the right to take their right of being able to at least enjoy their lives before they are killed. I like how the article says they beat dogs in tests. This shows that pigs arnt just something that gets in the way it shows that they actually are intelligent beings. It says they can't move at all that's horrible. They should be able to move around at least. I'm glad animal protection groups are beginning to take action because this shouldn't be happening.

In this article he's saying that there was a scuffle in his police car and Mike Brown reached for his gun. I would believe that part of the story if Brown got shot once. But he was shot a total of six times. Also it contradicts some witness accounts.
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/19/opinion/sunday/a-paradox-of-integration.html?ref=opinion&_r=0 This article is very relevant to the political culture and the way it is evolving. Since so many blacks for so long refused to accept that they couldn't go to a university due to their race, once they were accepted they were anticipated by others to "speak up ", which is basically the university telling the African Americans that is they want a spot they should prove themselves. Although, with the issue of all 4 chancellors hung up in all four corners of a big room in the University of Cape Town, being all white men just has to do with the history of all this. The school started out as an all white university, so as you can guess the chancellors will be white. I don't think that should be offensive to other students, especially since University of Cape Town hired a black professor during these issues, nobody should feel alienated.
http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/17/justice/alaska-same-sex-marriage/index.html?c=us This article is about Alaska possibly allowing same sex couples to be able to marry. I think this is a good for them. It's fair that they get the chance to be with the person they truly love and be able to marry them. It stated in the article that from the begging of this month the number of stated allowing same sex marriage has gone up from 19 to 29 and if Alaska and Wyoming allow same sex marriage then there will be 31 states that allow the marriage of couple of the same sex. This is great since those people finally have the liberty to choose to marry the person they love without any problems. It also stated that people as early as Monday began to sign up for there marriage license and this is excellent because they are showing that they are going to take advantage of this opportunity given to them and marry the person they want to. All in all I think it's great that Alaska may allow same sex marriage.

ReplyDeleteThis article is very relevant to the political culture and the way it is evolving. Since so many blacks for so long refused to accept that they couldn't go to a university due to their race, once they were accepted they were anticipated by others to "speak up ", which is basically the university telling the African Americans that is they want a spot they should prove themselves. Although, with the issue of all 4 chancellors hung up in all four corners of a big room in the University of Cape Town, being all white men just has to do with the history of all this. The school started out as an all white university, so as you can guess the chancellors will be white. I don't think that should be offensive to other students, especially since University of Cape Town hired a black professor during these issues, nobody should feel alienated.

ReplyDeleteThis article is about Alaska possibly allowing same sex couples to be able to marry. I think this is a good for them. It's fair that they get the chance to be with the person they truly love and be able to marry them. It stated in the article that from the begging of this month the number of stated allowing same sex marriage has gone up from 19 to 29 and if Alaska and Wyoming allow same sex marriage then there will be 31 states that allow the marriage of couple of the same sex. This is great since those people finally have the liberty to choose to marry the person they love without any problems. It also stated that people as early as Monday began to sign up for there marriage license and this is excellent because they are showing that they are going to take advantage of this opportunity given to them and marry the person they want to. All in all I think it's great that Alaska may allow same sex marriage.
