Woman's War

In the article " Sisters in Arms " by James Dao tells how over the years , people have been lowering the rights that a woman can be a combat in the army wars such as Afghanistan and Iraq. More woman should be allowed the equal rights of a man to serve  there country as a leader. Just like as a man. “If the best shot in the platoon is a woman, I an make her a sniper” this quote tells how woman have the same ability as a man , we just have different genders. If they was to” let the woman into Navy Seals there will be an open fro more the 200,000 jobs for women”. This article reminds me of the time I went to work with my dad and my brother and he payed me less because i was a girl but i did the same work as he did.

Calling for help

In the article "Slaughter of the African Elephants" by Samantha Strindberg and Fiona Maisels tells how the people are killing elephants because of the more demands and price that go up for there Ivory ( Tusks) that are used as accessories and sculptures in stores.The author compares the elephant and its child to like us mother and child to show how a mothers will protect her child. People are killing elephants to make money, but they really are doing is hurting the environment. "62 percent vanished from Central America between 2002 and 2011" they have wild life guards in the forest to help protect the elephants but there's just not enough. Elephants are good to our nature, they eat fruit and there leaving leave help for the soil to grown plants that suck up the carbine oxide to help the air we breathe. Not only that , it helps other animals with the trail of fruits to eat. In conclusion , i think us people should get more guards out in the forest to help the elephants because they're a help to our environment and plus its a comparison to how a mother protects her child.

Harlem Shake Down


In the article “Surprise hit was a shock for artists heard on it” by James C. McKinley Jr tells about how the new upcoming artist Harry Bauer Rodrigues is being sewed by Hector Delgado and Jayson Musson for using their voice in his new song/dance “Harlem Shake.” Which had became a hit song which sold 816,000 digital downloads. “Both Musson and Mr. Delgado are seeking compensation from Mad Decent Records.”  For Jayson Musson ,a formal rapper from Philadelphia who voice was used to call out the key phrase “ Do the Harlem shake “ and  he wasn’t alone in this, Mr. Delgado voice is “clearly heard on “ Harlem Shake” too. Courts are saying even a little sample of a person music, the artist is in titled to royalties of any amount the request. “Mr. Delgado has yet to take legal action against the Philadelphia producers, whose remix was not a hit. Mr Gomez said” In conclusion , i think that Hector Delgado should have used there voice without permission but everyone is blowing outta proportion , he can just split his budget that he get on his record, and forget all about it , he's a new artist, give him his props.,
