ISU Task 4: Blog 2

This picture is related to the novel Brave New World, because in this novel everyone is born in hatcheries, assigned their castes, and conditioned to expects their castes. In this dystopian society, technology rules every aspect of life, even religion. In the novel Brave New World, everyone are controlled by science and technology. Humans now believe in god but in this novel they have eliminated the concept of "God" and replaced it with Henry Ford as their inspiration and ruler. Babies are not born the natural way, but rather produced from bottles in a lab. 

Slam Poetry

In a Brave New World, we can have Life without pain and sorrow,

Everything is predictable, for every tomorrow

Well, who needs love anyway?

It only causes pain and grief,

For parents, children, lovers, friends.

The crying, the anger, the sorrow-

But wait! After sorrow comes joy

After crying comes laughter,

After anger comes forgiveness.

This is what make me real.

So please, let me feel.

Opinion on WAR

War is always devastating and results in the tragic loss of countless innocent lives. In a perfect world war would not be necessary because all leaders would be rational and could peacefully work things out. However, the sad truth is that there is great deal of evil in human nature. When this evil shows itself in the likes of manic, like Adolf Hitler, for example, then other countries often have no choice but to fight back. Their only other option would be submission and/ or destruction. 

Task 4: Blog 1 for ISU

The main social issue in the novel Brave New World is children are conditioned from the movement artificial conception to be a certain level of intelligence. This social issue is connected with the passage Genius Without The Genetics by John Mighton because I think they born into specific level of society and remain their for their whole lives. There is never any expectations that they rise above their stations. Unfortunately this prejudgment of children can also hold true in our current education system. If children at young age are labeled as low functioning or limited in some way, often there is little expectation that they will improve. When the author says, "a product of the way the children are taught."  I think that is absolutely true because in the novel Brave New World they eliminated families which means Mother, Father, Sister and Brother so they doesn't know anything about love and they are an artistic child. In Brave New World they doesn't teach kids what is the true meaning of love and how we should treat people.  

Newspaper Report: The Sniper

Has survival in Dublin become impossible?

Three citizens killed due to civil war.

June 21^st, 1920

DUBLIN- Last night, the city of Dublin was rocked by gun fire which left three people dead. The perpetrator was a Republican sniper. In exchange for his information, our newspaper has promised him anonymity.

 While keeping watch on a building near the O'Connell Bridge and smoking a cigarette, the Sniper was noticed by civilian McGuire, age 62. When she proceeded to inform our Lieutenant Shame McAvella about this Sniper, he immediately shot and killed both of them.

Nearby was a Sniper from our forces. This man then shot and wounded the Republican Sniper. In the exchange of gun fire that followed, the Republican Sniper killed our Sniper. When checking for his enemy's identity. He discovered that the fallen Sniper was , in fact, his own brother. His sole comment has been a repeated lament: "I didn't even know my brother was in the war."

In response to these events Colonel Michael Williams has doubled the presence of armed forces on the streets of Dublin. "We must do all we can to prevent further tragedies," he explained.

Fighting ISIS: Barack Obama asks U.S. Congress for war powers

Thomson Reuters, February 11, 2015 at 10:45 AM

This article, about war and conflict talks about the ISIS terrorists and how Obama is planning to target them. U.S. President, Obama asked Congress to authorize military force in the campaign against ISIS. Obama also wants to repeal the 2002 authorization for force in Iraq, but keep a 2001 authorization against Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan. This request calls for targeting ISIS and associated forces involved in the fighting of the U.S. or its coalition partners. It provides no geographic limits in battle, and bans U.S. ground troops from “enduring U.S. offensive ground combat". Obama said his goal is to “degrade and defeat ISIS". Obama also said that special U.S. forces would be used on the ground if, for example, there was a gathering of ISIS leaders and U.S. forces were in the help position to take action. Both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives must approve the proposal. The Democrats are concerned about another Middle East War, but many Republicans want stronger measures against ISIS. Obama must get their approval so that he does not exceed the constitutional authority. The world needs to see that the United States "Speaks with one voice against ISIS". This article connects to the world right now. Isis is a very evil and dangerous terrorist group and must be stopped. Every nation should stand up because; there is no limit to what ISIS can do. For example, they can continue killing and destroying people and things around them without care of the consequences. This is a crime against humanity. In conclusion, Barack Obama is doing everything he can to stop this terrorism.
