In the news earlier the week i read about a high school in Chicago that has 115 expecting or already moms attending their school. It said that it would take up 6 pages in the year book of just moms/moms to be. Also a little tag that they added in it was that they were also turning a former crack house into a daycare for the kids.

I think this ties in with what we have discussed because we have gone over an article that talks about how young teenage girls are becoming more unruly. I think this school in Chicago needs to rethink how they are handling this situation. Now even though the girls are staying in school it just a shame that they are having kids at such a young age. I don't think they truly know the consequences of what they are doing at such a young age. I also don't think it is all of the girls fault either. I feel the boys are part to blame also. It also doesn't seems like the young teens are getting any consequences for their actions.

I was sorta sad to see this since it seems like the young moms are not given a chance to see their true potential since they now have something to hold them back.

After reading the article in call about the Abu Ghraib and that scandal i did some more research on it and found it very appalling. In a news article i found that there was more to the it than just the pictures that they took. They made the detainees do degrading things to each other and so also frighten them. The images found on this were horrifying, and what was surprising was that the soldiers in the pictures seemed happy, like they weren't don't anything wrong. One soldier that seem to get a lot of publicity over this matter was a woman who was seen in many photos giving 2 thumbs up while standing behind a pile of detainees all of then naked or while she was working a leg wound that had appeared to be caused by a dog bit.

Another soldier that had gotten a lot of publicity was a male dog handler. It showed him threaten the detainees with the dog by having it snarl and lunge at them. He defense in court was that he was doing what he was told to do.

This whole matter i find just truly appealing. What goes through peoples heads when they are given a little bit of power is truly amazing because then they think they can get away with any thing just because they have the upper hand.

I talk to you in class and you said i should go a head and post this for the 10-18-09 date.
