This article was about a 12 year old boy who robbed a local store Defuniak Springs, Florida on Saturday. They haven't released the name of the boy but all I know is that he was armed with a toy gun and walked in the store, and then he robbed it and then he thanked the clerk.
The boy was caught on the surveillance camera and was caught the same night due to the fact that the clerk knew his family very well. He was placed in the juvenile detention center.
This article focuses on Oddity. This incident affects just the population of that town. The audience the author is trying to reach is the weird people in that town. This article is important because it shows how stupid managers are when they hire people like the clerk who just gave the money to the kid.
When hiring, they should consider all the aspects of the employee, not just one thing. I think that this kid should actually get an award for stealing a store with a toy weapon because he has to be like the first person to do so.

Racist Aussie Brutally Kills Indian Student

Racist Aussie Brutally Kills Indian Student
By
D.C
This article was about a student named Nitan Garg who was visiting Austrailia for vacation when he got brutally stabbed because he was Indian. India and Austrailia have not had a very good realtionship for many years now and although the Austrailian prime minister denies an avereage over 40 indians being killed per year there, the actions of the aussies prove different. The prime minister says that this attack was not based on race but Indian authorities have proven that wrong already. The funny thing is that Austrailia doesn’t even allow Indians to enter their country frequently. What happens to them is that they either get beaten or they are very much attacked because of their race.
The aspect of diveristy of which this covers is the cultural part of it. This is going to affect the Indian population which travels to Austrailia year around. This makes this an important aricle about diversity because Indians are being attacked and beaten to death because of their race.
I think that the Indian parliament should take action against Austrailia because this is a very bad thing that the Aussies are letting happen just because of their cultural differences. I personally think that the aussies who travel to India should be flogged to death or something to that extent because of their brutality towards Indians. Why should we take it easy on the Aussies when they are killing our people in their country. The worst thing is that the Aussies are denying all allegations about this situation being a racially one. I think that all Aussies should not be allowed to travel to India because of their race. The Aussies are nothing but criminals literally and they know it.

Gay man gets brutally beaten and is left in Critical Condition
The article I read was about jack Price who got brutally beaten by two men outside a corner store in College Point in New York after he went in the store just to buy some cigarettes. He is still in critical condition in the hospital their. This happened on October 12, 2009 at four in the morning. The sad thing is that he got beat up because he was gay.
This is news because it not only affects this gay man but it also affects a large population of the gay population because in these times, gay people are the targets of hate crimes more than ever. It's a terrible thing and the worst part of it is that those guys who beat him up will probably not get convicted because of family connections and that they are related to famous politicians in the state of New York.
I personally think that this was a terrible thing and that those men should be convicted regardless of what family they come from. This is basically saying that people who are really wealthy can get out of any crime they want.

The song I analyzed was “Times They Are A-Changin' lyrics”. The artist is Bob Dylan. The genre would be classic rock. The time period when this song was realeased was in 1964 and it was also released after the U.S went in the Vietnam War. The issue which is being adressed would be the vietnam war where the U.S intervened in the early 1960’s, a period of time before Dylan wrote this song. The song artist’s point of view at that time would be an opposition towards the Vietnam War. “Come senators, congressmen Please heed the call Dont stand in the doorway Dont block up the hall For he that gets hurt Will be he who has stalled Theres a battle outside And it is ragin.Itll soon shake your windows And rattle your wallsFor the times they are a-changin.” This quotation satisfies my claim because at that time, civilians

TERRORISM GONE WILD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1. What are your thoughts, feelings, etc, as you read these articles?
2. What role do you think terrorism played in this massacre, if any? Why? Do you think that there was an terrorist organization behind the shooting?
3. What role did racism or religious persecution play in this incident? Why?
4. Do you think a lot of Muslim Americans have the same feelings as this man? Why or why not?
5. What do you think the military could have done to prevent this from happening? Why do you believe this? Were there signs that this man had the potential to do something like this? What were they?
6. Talk about the leadership of Kimberly Munley (the woman who stopped the shooter). What did she do? How would you have reacted in the same situation?
7. What does this incident say about race relations in America? Specifically with Arab-Americans and Muslims? Is there a reason that Muslims and people from the Arab world feel a certain way about
America?
1. I feel like the soldiers probably had a part to play in this because if i was him, i would probably feel the same way but i won't be stupid enough to actually act out on what i think. Those soldiers kept on harassing him until he finally pulled the trigger on them. I kind of feel sorry for the U.S soldiers because they were the ones who flipped his switch. I feel sorry for this man because of what he had to go through. I don't feel sorry for the actions he committed to.
2.I don't think that there was any terrorist organization behind this because he would have written it on the wall or something to show he was part of that organization.
3. The constant racial slurs with the help of religious persecution played a big role in this because those soldiers who came back from Iraq obviously feel a certain way towards Muslims and after 9/11, many people who were and are from India and other nations got persecuted in only one manner.
4. I believe that Muslims feel the same way as this man because I don't believe that Americans felt the same way as they did towards Muslims before the war. Americans started to feel this way only after 9/11 which is sad that Americans view terrorists as all men, women, and children from places like India, Pakistan, and the middle east.
5. What the military could have done to prevent this was to not make fun of this man every day because him hearing his religion and his name in a wrong way made him into this monster which nobody could stop until a soldier finally shot him down. The things which should have given the army a clue about the intentions of this man was the writings on his door saying Allah.
6. Kim just shot the guy down. I would have done the same thing if he was shooting up my army base.
7. I think after ten years, there is still some significant racism happening today. I don't think that Americans trust Muslim Americans anymore because of Osama Bin Ladin and they don't even trust Hindus either because when I came to the school I am currently in, I faced a tremendous amount of racism. I don't know why Muslims would feel a certain way about America.

Integrity - Don't Leave Home Without It 2
The first part is one paragraph summary of the article. Make sure that you read the article, then write your summary in your own words. Do Not copy word for word. Copying word for word from the source means an instant “F”. This is called plagiarism and is illegal. Read it and summarize it in your own words. Keep the summary simple and as possible, but include all the important information like: Who? What? When? Where? Why? How? Write it in essay form in a paragraph. (5 points)
The second part will cover the impact of the article
1. What aspect of leadership does it cover?
1. What does the author say about leadership? What kind of audience is the author trying to reach.
2. Who is it going to affect? How is it going to affect a large population of the world and possibly you?
My article was about Ben Keis 's company and how he had trouble with his customers lacking integrity when they returned a product to that company. The products which they returned were all tattered and beat up compared to their original status which was never like that. Because his clients weren't honest with him and expected his company to get a full refund based on what he saw, he has now implemented a new policy which says that any product which need to be refunded has to be in a stable shape or the customer won't get all of their money back they paid for that product.
The part of leadership this covers is Integrity. The author says that some of his customers don't have any integrity and need to be more honest about returning their products in good condition. This is going to affect those who return products in bad shape and expect to get full refund even though the product is dinged up.
This makes it important about leadership because it talks about an important aspect about leadership, integrity, which means to be honest and follow correct code of values. I wish that everyone in the world would have integrity because i believe that there would be world peace. Crooks would turn themselves in, warlords or drug lords would get rif of their dirty acts of crime.

Helmets clash
1. What are your thoughts about this case? How did the video make you feel or think? Should the athlete be charged criminally for this act? Why/Why not?
2. When competing in contact sports, should you have the same rights and protections as you would as an ordinary citizen regarding assault or should there be an expectation of violence? Why/Why not?
3. From each stakeholder perspective I want you to answer the following:
Here are the stakeholders: both players, each players parent, police (or state), teammates of both players, the coach, the athletic director and principal. FROM EACH OF THESE PERSPECTIVES I WANT YOU TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS SO YOU SHOULD HAVE 9 different stakeholder perspectives!!
How would this make you feel?
What would you want done about this situation?
What would you do about this situation?
I believe that this guy who head butted the kid should be kicked out of the team because that was the stupidest thing I have seen. It is very dishonorable and he should be fined even more because that could have given him a severe brain injury. I don't care if he didn't like that guy. If i didn't like a certain tennis player, i won't hit him with my raquet. The video made me feel sick. I wouldn't do that to my worst enemy. I think that he should be charged for such a act because he intended to probably severely hurt the guy and if he had intent to doing that, he should be charged for the crime.
I think that violence is violence and no matter what sport you are in, you should be charged like an ordinary citizen because as i said, a crime is still a crime. If he did that after a football game and it was on the street corner, he should be charged for the same crime as he would doing it on the field.
Both Players: I would be upset if i was the guy who got head butted and if i was the guy who head butted the guy, i would punish myself or kick my own butt. I wouldn't want charges to be pressed. I would be apologizing to the guy who i head butted and assist him in anything he needs.
Victim: I would be pissed off about what happened to the guy who did this to me. I would want charges to be pressed and i would want him to be kicked out of the team for good for such an unsportsmanlike conduct. I would press charges.
Head Butting parents:
We would be ashamed of our kid doing such an act and punish him at home for doing this. we would make him apologize and hope that no charges would be charged. I would want him to face the light and have charges filed against him.
Victim's Parents: We would be very upset and mad. We want him to be in prison and would want him to be kicked off the team indefinitely.
Police: We probably wouldn't make a big deal of this and not make him feel bad because he is feeling like crap already. I would arrest the kid and hope for the best for him
Victim's teammates: We are upset that he did something like this. We want that kid to pay for the crime he committed. We want him to be kicked out of the team indefenitely.
Butting coach: I am upset that my player did something like this but I am hoping that no charges will be filed.. I don't want any charges to be filed.
