Give Lance Another Chance?

In the article, " Give Lance Another Chance?" , CNN reports, talks about the interview Lance Armstrong had with Oprah Winfrey when he announce that he was taking drugs, an because of that he has ha a lot of things taking away from him including his seven Tour e France titles.

Many different people have their opinions about if Lance should be forgiven, if he was untrusted or if he got what he deserved.

" He still has a chance to redeem himself " said Frida Ghitis. She thinks that if he makes a speech like he first i, when he stated that everyone is human, an reach out to everyone maybe people would forgive but not forget.

I think that everyone is human also, and that we all make mistakes and have to deal with the out come of things. But because of the fact that Lance has been lying for so long, is not good at all for one who is trying to make it some where in life by following their dreams.

" We all have our Flaws", state Kevin Powell. By Kevin saying that we all have our flaws, he means that we have that one crazy thing that you have did and it back fired. Kevin says that instead of looking at this in a bad way, Lane could look at it in a good way by trying to get all drugs and etc, out of sports. He could make a chance.

Civil War In Syria Raises Questions About When to Intervene

In this article, " Civil War In Syria Raises Questions About When to Intervene " is about how the civil war in Syria is making things much much dangerous for those people who are still live in Syria.

" A lot of people are trying to figure out what could be an effective intervention that wouldn't cause more death an suffering," said the U.S Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in May. I think that the U.s should not get involved with what's going on with Syria , until they do something to harm the U.S. Other wise no because we have a lot that is going on with the U.S already an they don't need anything else harmful to happen.

This Civil War is between the military loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-assad and anit- regime protest fighters. Because of this people was being fled from their homes because it was not safe, such as Turkey, Jordan, an Lebanon.

Syrian Army think that it is a good idea to provide untrained men with multiple weapons, such as AK-47's , rocket launchers and home made bombs.

The homemade Bombs are chemical weapons, that are very dangerous for people around them and also them. But according to regime, these types of weapons would only be used towards invasions.

I think that this Civil War is very dangerous and they should get those who are not involved in this civil war, away from it. Also i think that they should work something out because they are not going to work anything out just by going back an forth fighting, bombing an shooting one another.

All Work an No Play: Why Your Kids Are More Anxious, Depressed

In the article "All Work an No Play: Why Your Kids Are More Anxious, Depressed", reporter Esther Entin explains why children should have time to play with just their friends, no parents. And how it might effect their future.

The main reason children are not able to do anything without some type of parents around in today's generation is because its not safe. With all the child predators, road traffic, and bullies.

Esther has mentioned 5 different ways that play time is good for children. They include; 1. Play gives children a way to solve things on their own. 2. They learn to control their emotions 3. teach them how to be friendly and meet new people. 4. gives them a chance to develop a connection an last but not least, 5. play in a source of happiness.

Personally after going over these five ways that play time is a good thing for children, i agree with this article. Person should really give their children the chance to make certain decisions or to handle a certain situation by their selves,  so they know what to do when they are alone without parent supervision.

Do you think that children should have play time?
Do you think that lack of play time will affect their future?

Philadelphia Superintendent Identifies Schools He Intends To Close

 

In the article, " Philadelphia Superintendent Identifies Schools He Intends To Close" Kristen A. Graham gathered together some information on why so many  schools in Philadelphia is closing and why. Also what people think about the Philadelphia School District actions.

The main causes for the schools closings is under-enrollment, under performing, and saving money.

The numbers of schools are: 22 Elementary ; 11 high schools ; 4 middle schools.
According to the article the school district is trying to bring student who lack a certain amount of knowledge to receive more by being in a better and more together school.

I think that they should not close down so many schools, because this action would cause multiple problems. It would cause fights between schools and transportation problems for students who live far from the new location they are sending them to.

" Jobs would likely be lost as a result of the closings, though there's likely to be "minimal impact" at the teacher level" Said Hite.

So because of these actions, principles might lose their jobs and have to find another. By the school district of Philadelphia thinking that they are helping their selves, they are really hurting other people too.

They should close down schools that buildings are falling apart and that is unsafe to be inside of. Will they really go through with this decision, or will they make some better decisions?
