Hi, this is Kyusuk Kim. I read about "More Trash, Please!". In Oslo, the capital city of Norway, they are generating energy like heat and electricity with burning garbages. Its way to produce the energies is very unique because many countries have not tried to follow it. It is really eco-friendly to the Earth though.
Hi, this is Kyusuk. I read the news 'Life After Afghanistan'. This news consists of interview with a marine, Logan Stark, who served the country in Afghanistan. He was a naive for the battle, but he thought that he needed to do something that was a serving his country. The most difficulty for him was having a fight against a rebels because difference of language and culture between them made them not to trust. Back to his civil life as a student, he felt that everything, circomstances and friends, has been changed. But, he now realized that the area which doesn't occur any war is really comfortable.
Life After Afghanistan is an amazing article which provides thoughts and perspective of a returned american soldier who talks about his experience as a marine in Afghanistan. He said that he joined to the army because he wanted to serve his country. He had challenging experience that made him grow up and had a different perspective of life and the world where we live. This was one of the hardest experiences in his life., but not only that was difficult, also the transitions after the army. He had a culture shock in his new life as a student in the Michigan state university. He is feels very grateful for this experience and he tries not to worry and stress for little things because he has seen how bad it can get.
16 year olds get the vote is a article were is explain that Tacoma, Maryland is the first state where 16 years old students can vote in the local elections. Many teenagers pay taxes and they behave as a grown ups. Many countries let 16 years old teenager to vote in national elections. Some say that other states would follow the same example as Maryland.
"Watching you" is an article that analyze how much goverment surveillance americans should accept. Principal point of this discussion is the increasing of intrunsive tools used to capture your information with the excuse of keep United States safe. The main character in this discussion is Edward Snowden, a contractor for National Security Agency who leaked details of surveillance programs to the media, risking a long prision sentence for disclosing top secret material. On the other hand, the government argues that the programs are used to protect the country and also werw authorized by the Congress. Finally, some americans think that It,s extremly invasive and innecesary.
"Cheap fashion" is an article that shows where your clothes come from and analyze the effects of today´s clothing market. First point analyzed in the lecture is that many consumers are not aware about some hidden costs of their wardrobe. Second, the article explain the labor shift that were made in the U.S.overseas where labor costs were much lower. Finally, explain what are today´s implications of this change in the world.
"Cheap Fashion" Today's western people enjoy more fashion and cheap garments than years ago. However, few people care about why it happened,and behind this fashion, it is millions of workers in China, Bangladesh, and other countries.Their get very low pay, and work in bad conditions. There are some people has began to realize that, and work for get a more fare market.
Hi, this is Viktor Arfanov. I also have read article "Cheap Fashion" and I found out many interesting information about fashion in USA. It was interesting to know that many Americans love to shop and that for them the most important consideration is price and style. Unfortunately, they do not care about people, who make this clothing, they are not aware that factory conditions are often unsafe, and workers are forced to work long hours. Today, most clothing come to America from third world countries such as Bangladesh and Vietnam and many workers from this countries work in difficult conditions and for little pay. But there is still hope that situation is going to be changed, because many Americans have begun changing their attitudes about fashion and some economic reasons can play a good role in this situation.
Hi, I also read the article "Watching you". The article is very interesting and tells about what USA government makes to keep the nation safe from more terrorist attacks. The US government has been secretly collecting American's telephone records. What is more, they are tracking foreigners overseas on sites like Yahoo and Facebook. Even though, the government is monitoring lives of ordinary citizens and it can be inconvenient for many people, I think the government is doing right because it can have some benefits such as help in preventing terrorist attacks and saving many peoples' lives.
I read an article about the environment. The title was"More Trash, Please!". Today, one of the main problems is the environment problem. Among them, this article is about the trash that people dump everyday. These days, most of countries have many trashes. The trashes make the life of people unpleasant. However, the article makes people surprised since it tells that garbage and trash can help people in the world. Most of the garbage can be an efficient energy for many people. They can be useful for people to generate electricity or heat.
I would talk about the article that is mainly about election in the United States. The title is "16-Year-Olds Get the Vote!". It is literally about the law that allow teenagers to vote in America. Maryland is the first city that allows teenagers who are 16 to vote, and more and more cities in the United States permit teenagers who are 16 or 17 to vote.
I read Cheap Fashion. It was a very interesting article because it made me think about how unaware we are when we are going to buy clothes. We should pay more attention to the origin of the clothes we wear. Most of the clothes we wear come from Asia countries, where people is working very hard and getting really low payment for it. :( So, sadly it is almost nothing what we can do, but we should always realize and somehow be grateful to those Asian hard workers, who make it possible for us to have cheap clothes today.
I read the Article " Watching over you". Well this topic regarding the privacy in the US is kind of controversial. People in the US demand for privacy on the internet and also on telephones. In the other hand, US government excuses it self saying that it is necessary in order to stop terrorism. In my opinion, I consider that both parts are correct. For instance, the article describes that many acts of terrorism have been stooped for this monitoring program. However, many US citizens are un happy to feel someone is violating their privacy. Therefore, I would suggest that people should consider what kind of information is using on the internet and on their phones. Likewise, US Government must ensure that even though it is necessary to inquire in others information, the privacy of them can be keep.
"More trash Please" Well I was not aware that people in Europe are burning the garbage to produce heat and electricity. Perhaps this seems to be a such great option of what to do with trash, but it is not. In my opinion, this requirement of trash will encourage more and more people to produce trash and to change the perspective of how trash affect the environment. Although garbage is being used to produce electricity or heat, this process is increasing global warming. The Gas that the burning of thrash produces is harmful for the atmosphere. For example, this gas metano is getting trapped in the atmosphere causing the Green house effect. Therefore, people should rise awareness of the way they produce garbage.
This is Pedro. I read the article which the tittle is: How much power the president really have ? This article explains the role of the president of the United States of America. What he can actually do by himself and who he needs to work with to rule the nation.
This is Pedro. " Image Problems." This articles talks about a guy called Ryan Hart who used to be a quarterback for Rutgers University in New Jersey. This guy sued Electronic Arts for using his likeness in a video game. The articles exposes a very polemic subject about image rights.
"16-Year-Olds Get the Vote!" This article talks about that in Maryland there is a law that allow 16 teenagers vote. I think this is a good law, but it needs to be applied very carefully and not for every 16 teenager. Some teenagers are more mature that some adults, but this needs to be proved before a teenager receive this right.
Week 2 - UpFront News Report: Has the Arab Spring Failed? (p. 6-9) With all the Syria issue, for me was really interesting to read this article. It is about the wave of protest and war that is happening in the Middle East. First, it explains about what "Arab Spring" means. Arab Spring is the idea that the Arabic countries could become democratic, or even start to fight in favor of the democracy. However the fight started to get a different way that was in the beginning and many of the protester went out because they were demotivate from the different purpose of the war. Also, the article talks about the U.S. aid that President Obama cut to help one of the main countries of the Middle East, Egypt. In the end the article shows that are some good protester that are still fighting for freedom but they do a little bit in the wrong way.
