CNN Article little Indian Girls gets raped

In the article Indian police arrest second suspect in rape of 5-year-old by Jethro Mullen and Aliza Kassim it talks about a little girl being raped numerous times and abducted by a neighbor whose name is Manoj Kumar. Also when the girl went to the hospital the doctors said they had removed objects such as candle pieces and a small bottle, from the girl's genitals. And the police tried to bribe the 5 year olds family not to say anything about the case. Just 4 months before a girl had been ganged raped on a bus in New Delhi and she died later on at the Singapore hospital.In the article it says the 5 year olds case had drawn attention to violence against children. I think that girls get treated very badly in India considering that there is violence and mostly they’re in it. Also those police officers should be arrested for trying to bribe the little girl’s family out of their justice. I think rape cases are almost just as bad as murder cases because that you making somebody do something sexual they don’t want to do. Plus besides rapping this little girl this man was sticking objects inside of her and she is 5 years old, and if the family could take out the objects themselves I bet they would have if the girl needed doctors to take out these objects it had to be serious.

Korean War Part 2

In the article Korean War by Choe Sang-Hun in Seoul it talks about North Korea threats to launch a pre-emptive nuclear strike against South Korea and the U.S. in Korea there was a war many years ago that resulted in the split of North Korea and South Korea. And North Korea is very poor and South Korea being wealthier than the North. Also when North and South Korea were at war the United States supplied 90% of the troops. I think that North Korea feels like they want revenge because the United States teamed up with South Korea and sent all the troops to their country to win a war against them. Since that war South Korea has been doing much better it’s the 12^th richest country in the world, but North Korea is doing very badly they  have been through starvation and labor camps. It seems like they have a lot of anger toward South Korea and the U.S. so they probably feel like they should take it out on some one. The leader of North Korea Kim Jong Un relays a message with his American former NBA star Dennis Rodman Kim said, “I don’t want war.” If he didn’t want war why would he threat the U.S and South Korea with nuclear weapons. It seems like he is trying to just make it seem like he is not worried about the U.S. so we can stop worrying about what is his next move. Also i think the new young leader is threating the U.S. is too look stronger to his people since he is new to the country.

Time for a raise

                                               Blog: Time for a raise

            In the article Time for a raise by Patricia Smith the main idea is basically that Obama wants to raise minimum wage in the U.S to 9 dollars an hour and right now it 7.25 an hour. Some people do not like the idea of the raise and some people do. The reason people or companies do not like the raise in minimum wage is it makes bosses at jobs have to either higher people or cut days off, the employees will get shorter hours, and it forces them to give the other employees raises depending on what their job is. The reasons people like the idea of this are the more money people get the more money these people spend which can also help the economy. Also people who don’t make that much money the raises will be good for them because they have to pay bills and buy things that they need, but in the same since a lot of people will not even be getting jobs because if minimum wage is going up to 9 dollars places will not either be able to hire you or the place just might not want to because that’s an extra person they have to pay. In my opinion I think that this raising minimum wage to 9 dollars is not a very good Idea because a lot of people will not be getting jobs and the goal is really for everyone to be employed if you can. I also think it’s a bad Idea because people who do have jobs won’t get as many hours because they have to pay a dollar and 75 cents more, and a lot of places don’t even want to hire for minimum wage at 7 dollars and 25 cents. The raise would be good for people who make minimum wage in a sense, but for most people it’s really not a good or bad idea to me its neutral.

Leroy Scott

We knew before how horrible life in the camps and ghettos was

Killing centers, labor camps, where prisoners manufactured war supplies

Pregnant women were forced to have abortions or their babies were killed after birth;

20 million people died or were imprisoned in the sites enslaved in five camps in five years

Women were coerced into having sex with German military personnel.

Dig trenches that were used for dumping the bodies of victims

SS officer murdered six Jewish children, poor children aged 6 to 12

The dogs barking in the night              

This is my cemetery cruelty and slaughter of the camps

German soldiers shouting, "Dirty Jew."

I chose all these words because they reminded me of the book night that we had read in english class and this found poem shows how harshly treated all these jewish people were. The point the poem makes is that jewish people were treated very harshly during the war. It was harder than i thought it would be making a found poem. i looked up the holocaust and took lines and words from the article. i think it was pretty worth i look at like why not plus its school work.

Killing Elephants

In the article Slaughter of the African elephants by Samantha Strindberg and Fiona Maisels it talks about how in Africa they are slaughtering the wild life animals for humans own personal use, but in the article it mainly talks about the killing of elephants for the tusk which makes ivory and it’s in very high demand so the people who are murdering them most likely aren’t doing it for nothing they’re taking the tusk and getting the money for them and these people are called poachers. Even though elephants play a role like every animal do elephants help breathing and the spreading of seeds to create trees when using the bathroom in different places all over “tens of thousands of forest elephants have been butchered over the past decade. A staggering 62 percent vanished from central Africa between 2002 and 2011.” So out of 10,000 its really only 3,800 left that is a lot of murdering of one animal for one thing that belongs to the animal anyway. These poachers have animals scared to walk down certain roads because they know if they do it is a chance of them being slaughtered. Also just like humans I am pretty sure animals have feelings and like their mothers and fathers and depend on them just like human children do and to take away a child’s mother or father is very sad. With all the killing of them there will be no elephants left and they will be talked about like dinosaurs to us because they will go extinct and the children of the next decades will never be able to see a elephant.

Harlem SHAKE

In the article Surprise Hit Was a Shock for Artist Heard on it by James C McKinley Jr. it talks about the man who made the hit song everyone is talking about all over and making videos for. Harry Rodrigues is the one who made the song and is getting money for it used other people’s voices in it without permission signed agreements or anything he just used it, but probably never thought that he would be sued for it. Now Hector Delgado and Jayson Musson are suing Rodrigues for it because he didn’t give them anything out it or any credit. The Harlem Shake has been at the top of the billboard 100pop chart for three weeks and sold about 800,000 digital downloads. That’s means he is making a good chunk of money and didn’t give the two men anything. I think they feel like he could’ve at least asked them for an approval or something, but to just take and use their music they two men probably feel disrespected.  Mr. Gomez the founder of Mad Decent says “Hector will get what he deserves.” What he is saying is that they want what they deserve they are saying they can just get lawyers and get them to stop the broadcasting of the song because his voice is in it anyway. I think what he is saying is he just wants his money otherwise they will just get the song stopped completely. Is this the right thing to do? I think so because he should’ve got consent from both men I don’t think Rodrigues was thinking at all.

sisters in arms

            In the article Sisters in Arms by James Dao he talks about for the most part women in the military and basically how women have evolved in the military as time goes on. They started off as just helping the men in the military from their homes like raising money and getting supplies. Then the women started going deeper in to the military like helping in the medical field, intelligence officers, military police, and a lot of other jobs. Now in the year of 2013 they are lifting the ban on combat from women so now women are going to be allowed to enlist in the army and go out the and fight like men do and die like men do. Some people agree with women being in the army saying things like it equality, the best person to do a job could be a women, and plus other countries been let women fight in the army alongside men. The people who are against women being in army say women are not strong enough and don’t have the mentality to kill they’re just not ruthless. I don’t really like the whole idea of women being in the army I think they should just leave it up to the men, but if that’s what the women really want to do I guess its ok because when I think of women I think of my mom and I would never want my mother in anybody’s army. In a sense it’s good for American women to get the equal rights to be in the real army like combat fighting like men that’s a good part about it.
