Global Articles


     This week when we showed our AoW's off there were lots of things about ISIS. Some were duplicates, some showcased other problems ISIS are causing. For example, Diego chose an article about how ISIS is hacking websites and other things. Most, were about Egypt's retaliation towards ISIS though. All mentioned that it was a response to a video released showing the executions of multiple Christian Egyptians. These events are very important because it could cause a possible war and more airstrike, causing civilian casualties. More on the war, Amelia's article mentioned that 63 countries were already dedicated to fight against ISIS, the article also pointed out that ISIS is growing rapidly, with more than 90 countries backing them up. Speaking of possible war/conflict. Russian aircraft have passed by English channels causing tensions to rise between England and Russia. There was also an article picked by Isabelle R. which was about Nigerian conflict. How Bokoharam was getting put under the radar and he's gaining a lot of power.

     Going away from all the possible wars/worldwide conflict, there were some articles that had important messages. For example, Athziry had an article about a girl who was thought to be ugly to many, she tried to ignore them and then she was later asked to be a model. Which gives a positive you can do anything if you set your mind to it message to the world. Maria's article focuses on gender equality in Turkey. Gender equality/woman's rights have been big and they should get their rights which is why it's important. Elenia and Gabe had similar articles addressing whether we were prepared for another epidemic or not. Which is important because they're trying to get us prepared for the next epidemic so we are prepared and not taken by surprise like what happened with Ebola.
