Slaughter of the African Elephants

 

In the article " Slaughter of the African Elephants " by Samantha Strindberg and Fiona Maisels they discusing how it is cruel how elephants are being killed just so people can use their tusk for things that worth money.

I think that people should not kill and harm the Elephants because they provide a lot of things for people and animals on earth, so why would we harm them if they didn't do anything to harm or hurt us people of America. The things that Elephants help people and animals out with are by helping maintain habitats, they help clean the air so that its easier for us to breathe.

" One of recently came face to face with this honor while walking through a forest in central Africa. The sickening stench provided the first warning. As the smell grew more pungent, the humming sound of death that surrounds the body of the dead elephant became more pronounced." This quote was in the article. This quote made me angry because of the fact that we are all gods creatures and they are killing Elephants to do this that you could do with wood or other materials instead of taking life away from an animal.

People should not want to kill for money. They shouldn't want to kill at all expecially if the animal they are killing, are doing things to help the earth and other things on earth.

Kat Dahlia upcoming Music

In the article, " Kat Dahlia 'Swaggy' Follow Up to 'Gangsta' , they are talking about what her new song that just released, " Gangsta" is really about.

"I was definitely going through a lot at the time and I'll tell you, people always have something going on and everybody finds their own therapy," kat stated. Unlike most people rapping about all the success in their lives and what they want they lives to be in the future, she rapped about things that hurt her in her past and mad a smash hit song.

I think personally that this song has a strong meaning behind it. Some things that happened in her pass is what happened in most kids lives today in the world, but they are not willing to announce to anyone because they might not be used to expressing their feelings to strangers, or they are afraid of how others would react to it.

Most of the music that she preparing to come out in the next month, will be similar to "Gangsta" because she feel as though music is a way for her to let things out. She is my favorite rapper now because i have people in my family and friends that has some of the similar things happening to them. And i too can relate to her, with being Puerto Rican and with the struggles from my past. Her music speaks to me on a level that not, Nicki Minaj nor Drake, etc. can reach.


I think that Kat Dahlia will be successful in the music industry!

CyberWar

In the article, " Cyber War"by Patricia Smith they are discussing how soliders of Iran Hacked into Saudi Arabia's computers to shut down Saudi Arabia's oil company, and when they hacked into the systems they put a picture the American flag burning in flames.

 

The burning flag represented that Iranians are not just there to try and attack Saudi they are soon going to try and come after the United States of America.

 

"The hackers picked the one day of the year they knew, they could inflict the most damage on the World's most valuable company." The day they chose to inflict the most damage on the World's most vauable company was August 15th. August 15th was the day of a Muslim holiday so the hackers knew that the employees of Saudi Aramco would not be there, to protect their important information.

 

The hackers where able to delete about 75 percent of data and files.

Why did they attack?

 

I think that attacked because they knew that the oil could be used inside of nuclear bombs. And they them bombs would be used against them, so they decided to make the first serious move so that they would not get attacked with out being prepared. But im not sure, others might think other wise.

 

The U.S should have back-up data from that day forward, because someone else might try the same thing, and if they do at least they would be prepared and it would not really affect them as much.

 

 

 

 

Sisters In Arms

In the article " Sisters In Arms" by James Dao, they are mainly talking about how the u.s military are deciding weather they should let women in combat,  and if they are as strong as men to fight in combat?

If they let women fight in combat it would be a good thing, i think. I think that it would be a good thing because women don't get that but respect as it is, because they are women and people think that women are not physically and mentally strong as males.

"When the military goes to full integration, it allows commanders to put the best person in the job, not just the best man," Jacob says. When Jacob made think statement he was basically trying to say that just because your a male, it doesn't really mean that you might be the best at fighting in combat. Maybe some women can be better than a man. They should be looking for the best, to get the job done than the gender.

In the article it stated that, a female photographer that was in Afghanistan, ( Sergeant Pearsall) had to do some similar things, as the soldiers. She had to carry heavy armor, camera equipment, and if the enemies was shooting at her, she had to shot back without hesitation.

" I didn't sit around think: 'I'm a women; I don't think i can carry this gun," Sergeant Pearsall stated.

If women are strong enough to give birth, than i feel as though they are strong enough to fight for their country as much as men.
