Children Injured in a China school attack.

A man had walked into a school with a hammer and had injured 5 of the children in the class. He then after had poured gasoline all over himself and grabbed two of the children. Teachers managed to get the kids free. He lit himself on fire, committing a classroom suicide. This week also 2 other attacks had happened. On thursday 28 students were injured in east china, the man had brough in a knife and attempted killing all 28 of the kids. A prior day 18 more kids had been attacked with a man and a knife.
I think there is no reason to be randomly wanting to hurt or kill kids. What is the point behind it? Why did these people do it? One man said it was because of his love life and how it wasn't going good. Why is that any reason to be killing or trying to kill 28 kids. I can't wait until the trials of these come up because I'm sure everyone wants to know the reason to why these people went into the school and wanted to hurt these kids. Hopefully they get a long sentance or a big one. I'm sure if this would be taken lightly it would make many people extremely angry.

Jobs and Welfare


Issue #1-Issue number one explains how the higher class, middle class, and low class has such a gap between salary levels. People feel that it's such a huge gap and that it's such an unfair gap that it needs to be changed. The government along with the alot of people feel that we should increase taxes for the higher class, lower the taxes for the middle and low class, to even out the salary gap. By doing this it will even out the salary distribution, it will protect domestic jobs, maintain salary levels, and even create wealth ( make more jobs). Protetectionism is what goverment is trying to do. Globalization among all the countries is one other reason the government thinks there is such a huge gap among salaries. They think the federal government should limit or put restrictions on trade and Outsourcing Other critics think that if we do raise taxes that it will "stiffle economic growth thus hurt all workers."
I feel that in order to distribute wealth evenly that more taxes should be taken from the wealthier people and not as much as the middle class people. In a "perfect world" wealth would be distributed evenly among everyone. A "Universal Wealth." I think that in the perfect world people would be given their income just by the hard work that they do. (Political Opinion) William Domhoff had written the article, "Who rules America" and explains in it how he is amazed by how much of a difference there is between the salaries. He said its an extraordanary change among an average person and a CEO of a company when it comes to their wages. He also explains how we need to seperate the definitions of wealth and income. Yet, in reality the wealthiest people have the biggest income.

10-year-old's pregnancy fuels Mexican abortion debate

A ten year old girl had been raped by her step-father and is not pregnant. This angered many people and fueld the Mexican abortion debate. A doctor said the birth isn't only risky for the baby but also for the mother. Her body isn't fully grown and doesnt have the hormones that an adult mother would need for the baby. The girls state allows abortion in the case of rape but the girl is too far along to do that.

I think that is horrible that a ten year old had been raped. I can see where this would cause many issues when it comes to abortion of the baby. The girl is just a baby herself. She doesn't have a fully grown body or fully grown anything for a healthy baby. This is a super hard topic to go about because there are many different sides to it. I think abortion is a horrible thing but many people think it's okay in the case of rape. Either way I feel it's always going to be a controversial issue for a very long time.

Delaware pediatrician faces more sex charges

Dr. Bradley of Delaware had been convicted of more sex charges, to be exact 58 more sex charges. This man has been accused of 471 felony counts, he had sexual encounters with over 100 girls and one boy. The defense lawyer in this case says it's due to the doctors mental health. "The issue in this case is going to come down to his mental health at the time," said
Eugene Mauer Jr.
I think that this is horrible. Most kids are scared the way it is to go to the doctor. The other kids that aren't afraid to go to the doctor trust the doctor not to hurt them. This man should be accused of rape of the kids and have it blamed on his mental health. Doctors shouldn't be in the medical field if their mental health isn't stable anyways. Is there some sort of test they must go through to test their mental health along with all the other things. If so, how did someone pass this guy on that test and let him move on to medical school?
