current event #9

This story is about how more medical research should be put into to researching for mental illness diseases. They spend limited amount of time and nothing good has become of it.
This affects the community because maybe if more time was put into the research we would find more cures. Or not even research, just to get people aware of it and discussing it. It could save lives.
I think people with interests should donate money or even start new charities to help the research of undiscovered diseases and how to help with them. \

current event #8

This past wednesday was the season finale of the series Law and Order: SVU. Olivia Benson, one of the main detectives came home to the number one suspect of a rape/torture case. The suspect had a past of somehow getting off from his crimes and he was just set off bail that day. But that was not the end of him. When she entered her home she was held at gun point by the suspect and then the screen went black. What a suspenseful season finale.
This affects the community because many people and families, such as mine, routinely watch this series. Now that the main character might have a chance of never coming back on the show worries everyone. She makes the show for many and it would not be the same without her.
My reaction was shocked at first because i wanted to know what happens next. Once i heard the spreading rumors that she might be off the show i was upset.

Home health care worker population is growing at a rapid pace. These people are needed in society and will never go away. With the baby boom and elderly population their need has increased. These caring and hard working people are barely making minimum wage and getting no benefits. This has to change, but the government is looking over the situation at hand.
This affects the community because other than their patient, the workers also have family's that they have to take care of and support. Without the right amount of pay they cannot do that.
I am very disappointed that the government isn't taking this seriously. These people are giving there time to care for those in need out of the goodness of their hearts and they are not receiving anything in return.

Chris Kelly, a famous rapper from the 90's, was found dead yesterday. It is suspected that he died of a possible drug overdose. He was only 34 years old.
This impacted the community because he was a well known artist and made many hit songs. Through his music he connected to people and influenced their lives. He was a role model to many young upcoming rappers.
Having an older brother that is big into rapping caused me to be aware of this news.

current event #5

These are two individuals suspected of the tragic Boston bombing. The FBI agents have yet to identify them other than the specific clothes they are wearing. They are shown on surveillance walking together and one carrying a backpack. Agents supposed this is the backpack that was found containing the explosive device.
This effects the community because they need US. We can make an impact. We can help give justice to those killed, hurt, and wounded by the loss of loved ones. As the agents said, somebody out there in the nation knows these two men and can help make a drastic step closer to find them and also finding justice.
My reaction to this was the share this everywhere. Sharing information like this on social media such as facebook and instagram can help spread this crucial information to all of the nation in a domino effect.

current event #4

New in China has been reported that a new bird virus has been spreading. They do not know how the virus has gotten to the people of China but they are working as hard as they can to try to find the way and stop it as soon as possible. Researchers believe that in may have to do with how the poultry is slaughter in the factories. They are worried that the virus might mutate and be able to spread at a very high pace.
This affects the community because even though it has started in China it could spread anywhere. With past experience of other viruses this could possibly wipe out a lot of civilians.
My reaction is that i hoped they can stop this before it gets to harmful.

Scientist have come to believe that life existed before Earth was created. They have used Moore's Law to come to the conclusion that organic life first came in existence long before. the results imply that life appeared 10 billion years ago.
This affects the community because the farther scientists investigate into the solar system the more we know about life and existence of everything created before us.
My reaction was that it was hard to wrap my mind about the fact that there could have been other forms of life before us. They could have even been alien-like as movies show or just humans or animals just like us.

current event #2

These men are named Zahid Iqbal, Mohammed Sharfaraz Ahmed, Umar Arshad and Syed Farhan Hussain. They are from the UK and planned to launch a deadly attack on British reserve troops. They had planned on using a remote controlled toy car with a bomb attached to it. If not caught there would have been multiple deaths and many injuries. They all pleaded guilty and were sentenced to many years in prison. 
This effects the community because we should all be in precaution about these situations. These men admitted to being taught how to do such bombs over the internet. Websites like these should be found and taken down to prevent men like these access. 
I was in shock about how much time was put into this amature bombing plan. These men were flown over to Pakistan for terror training. That is the scariest thought to me.

C.E. #1

         
         On March 13, 2013 our new pope, Jorge Mario Bergoglio now known as Pope Francis, was elected. Thousands of people awaited anxiously outside the Vatican in hopes of spotting the new Catholic pope.  Jorge Mario Bergoglio was a Cardinal of Argentina before elected to be pope. He has many views on society and religion and is ready to make a change in the world.
         This impacted the community because Catholics all around the world look up to the pope as a role model. He impacts so many lives and determines what many people believe in. Determining things that are right and wrong in the church's eyes.
         My reaction to this was that I was in shock because out of all the people in the running for pope that he was chosen. The press was saying that the Church needed a younger pope with new ideas to change the church in better ways but in the end an older pope was chosen. Jorge Mario Bergoglio is seventy six and will still be a great pope.

POW #9 "Your Choice"

current event #9

     This current event is about the recent amount of shark sightings in the South Florida beaches. Life guards say that there is usual migration similar to this during this time of season but they have never seen so many like this before. They have taken precaution and have been warning future spring breakers to stay out of the water when they say to.
     The community impact of this is that some people say thats its just what you get for living in south florida but it also brings danger. Lifeguards have been warned to take as much precaution as they can but they cannot stop this from happening. Also, people that go to public beaches have a better chance of attack because there are no lifeguards on public beaches. It restricts many people from going in the water now because of real precaution or just the simple thought of fear.
     My reaction to this was exactly that, fear. One of my biggest fears are sharks and this makes it even worse knowing that they are so close. Even though we have lifeguards, they cannot control the actions of the sharks.

current event #8

       This current event is about a tragic killing at the California animal zoo for exotic large cats. A newly employed intern had always been fascinated in large animals like these since childhood and was very excited about her new job. Unfortunately she preceded to enter the lion of four years of age's cage and was mauled by the lion. She was not supposed to be in the lions habit and was killed at the scene because of the lack of workers near by.
      This affected the community in many ways. It hurt the reputation of the well known animal zoo. The zoo was inspected many times before the incident and was rated to be well kept. Many of the workers and even the owner were taken back and heartbroken at the news of what happened. They lost a well loved employee and were shocked of how this could've happened.
      My reaction to this was that with the right rules and regulations this would have never happened. If she would've known that you were not supposed to enter, her life would've been saved. Even if there was a chance of more employees in the area like they are supposed to be someone could have saved her.

Current event #7

This is the prime suspect of the shooting outside of the Balliago in Las Vegas. This shooting killed three people and many others were injured. Not only these people were affected by the shooting, the families of the deceased will now have a lost loved one. A black SUV shot at a grey Maserati which then crashed into a taxi killing both the taxi driver and the passenger in the explosion. This effected the community for being in shock of the incident and also the families of the wounded and killed that will be forever affected by this shooting. My reaction to this is how one person could have so much anger to do such a crime like this.
