Afghan girls, scarred by acid.

in the article Afghan Girls, Scarred by Acid, Defy Terror, Embracing School, Author Dexter Filkins talks about girls in afghan that are be scarred with acid on their face just because they want an education, and would like to attend school like a normal child. Shamsia Husseini was on her way to school one morning when she first experienced scars from acid on her face. Because of this, as the days go on her vision gets blurry. this attack also harmed 14 others ( students and teachers ) by the men that were on motorcycles. Her parents wanted her to continue going to school. in November three men on motorcycles stayed around the school, they hit 11 girls and 4 teachers with spray bottles, squirt gun, and a jar. This was done by the Taliban, the fundamentalist movement. They are the ones that are battling the government and the American-led coalition. Banned from school was the most notorious symbols of their rules. people began to put of posters saying " don't let your child go to school ". Shortly students began to stop coming. the headmaster Mahmood Qadari took matters into his own hands. He called a meeting for all parents to some to the school, he wanted the parents to allow their children to come back to school. students started to show up, as it progressed things got better for Shamsia Husseini and students that attended the school. I think that this is something bad that was happening in Afghan, every child should be able to go to school without getting attacked. Shamsia Husseini is a brave girl, i say this because she wants to go to school and get an education. Her situation is something you couldn't overcome very easily. There should have been more protection, the men o the motorcycles should have been sent to jail.

George Zimmerman charged for Trayvon Martins arrest

for about a month Trayvon has been killed in his own neighborhood he cause of wearing a hoodie. in the article http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20120412_Martin_s_parents___We_wanted_an_arrest_.html Angela Corey announced that Zimmerman, 28, was charged with second-degree murder and taken into police custody. but a nations answers will have to wait. it has not been said where they are holding Zimmerman. one of the attorneys for Trayvon's family says " we are just now getting to first base. despite the lack of any new details, legal analysts were quick to speculate that the severity of the charge the maximum penalty is life in prison without possibility of parole. i think that the arrest should have been done a long time ago. Trayvon should have never been killed, he didn't do anything wrong. there was no crime done, so therefore he should't have been killed. the police don't understand how harsh this is to his parents. it seems to me that Trayvon wasn't a troubled child. he was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. he man who killed him didn't have the right to do what he did. i think because of Trayvon's skin color had something to do with why the man killed him, he might have been a very racist person. i think that this is a crime that should be remembered, this is a crime that is an example of how bad the world is today. i know that Trayvon's parents are heart broken because that was their only child.

dirt bike tragedy

Jermaine Alexander died because of a dirt bike accident. as a young child his mother Sandra Howard-Witherspoon said, " when he was 5 he would ride his bicycle only if he had smashed tin cans in the wheels to mimic the dirt-bike growl". his uncle decided to take him to the park to teach him to ride the real thing. Jermaine was really obsessed with dirt bikes, he would run to the window to see who ever was riding down the street on one. He would even get different parts like junk scraps to put on dirt bikes that he had fixed up. then, on march 13, he and a friend went to borrow a dirt bike so they could return to their school at dismissal time to show off to their classmates. A boy named Eric Carter 15, who was riding with Alexander said cops in a marked police cruiser spotted them at Frankford and oxford and gave chase. the police said that there wasn't any chase. The boys then split up, after about a mile Alexander ended up on Frankford avenue at butler street he ran into a car that was turning in front of hi speeding bike. the bike shattered, and he died. According to the police department, it is illegal in Philadelphia to drive a four-wheeler or dirt bike on streets or parks, the say that its a no-pursuit policy for the vehicles saying that the dangers of a chase out weight the offense. i think that cops shouldn't want to chase a kid that is on a dirt bike or a four-wheeler. its much more things that they should be worried about. like shootings, robbery, rape and other sorts of things. i think that Jemaine was an innocent child that didn't mean any harm. He just wanted to have fun o the dirt bike with his friend.

women in texas losing options for health care and abortion fight

The article "Women in Texas Losing Options for Health Care in Abortion Fight" is about how health services are not the best, it talks about a clinic that closed in October along with over a dozen others in the state of texas. the financing for their health was cut by two thirds from the Republican-control Legislature. this act left many low-income women even more less of options, the inconvenience and cost is a problem too. some of the clinics that were not affiliated to close and the ones run by Planned Parenthood said they were motivated by the fight against abortion. also, it is likely another shutdown will happen with the Medicine Women's Health Program. this clinic serves 130,000 women.  i think it's a bad thing that the clinics are getting shut down because of those reasons. there are a lot of women, young women at that  are getting pregnant and they need the health care that they deserve. this should be somemthing that is changed, its putting a lot of people in a bad situation. clinics should be always open for young women, because if they are not open there are going to be a lot of health problems. health problems would be a major problem. if there is a stop towards these clinics not opening that would be much better. it would be much better because there would be less and less abortion problems in the world for women all ages.  i think that the closing of the clinics will get handled in a better way.

photoshopped or not tool

The article "Photoshopped or not, a tool to tell" is about photographers for celebrities also models in the fashion advertisements and magazines. adding digital polish and buffing their pictures. they an change multiple things such as wrinkles, color of brightness, the size of their body pimples and a lot of other things they might want to change about the person. Dr. Farid said he became intrigued by the problem after reading about photo-labeling proposals in europe. Dr. Farid and Eric Kee, a ph.D student in computer science at Dartmouth, are proposing  a software tool for measuring how much fashion and beauty photos have bekk altered, a 1-to-5 scale that distinguishes the information from the fantastic. this means that they are trying to see how often people get their pictures edit and all the other things that can be changed. i think that this whole thing about adding polish, buffering the pictures, brightness, the size of people is a good and bad thing. its a good thing because i think its a easier way to get around all the problems, people don't have to worry about trying to loose weight, they can just get their size reduced in their pictures. its a bad thing also because people are not committing to what they want to do. if your a model you should have a model type body. i think it shouldn't be allowed. also, this is something that i think is going to be around a lot longer. i say this because this is something that is useful for a lot of famous people now days, and the people who actually creates this gets paid a lot of money for it.

Im a criminal

in the article Im a criminal and so are you  talks about how there are a lot of reasons people go to jail everyday all around the world. so now that they are labeled as a criminal they don't have all their rights, such as to vote. its like your put aside from everything and everybody else. you might not be able to get a job, get access to education and other sorts of things. adding to that it says that everyone is a criminal in their own way. she states that you don't have to look like a criminal to be one. the differences between the people in jail and the people outside of jail is that they didn't get caught doing what they did. and because of that people often think that they didn't do anything wrong. Michelle Alexander says that the color, age, or gender doesn't even matter, but people think it happens in the ghettos mainly. she thinks it should be  aware that a lot of people did something that they shouldn't have did or broke they law at some point and time in their life. i think in some situations you shouldn't be punished as much. you should't be know and still have rights just like everybody else thats not a criminal. if you committed a crime such a robbery you should get punished because something like that is not needed. it you get caught driving while you are drunk, them it should not be that you have to a lot of time in jail for something little like that. people do it very often, they just don't get caught doing it.
