This week for my blog I am going to talk about the Charlotte Riots. This is a very big issue in today’s society. It all started on September 20, 2016 when Keith Lamont Scott, a 43 year-old African American man was fatally shot by a police officer and when the trial results came back in the police man favor the rights began. The riots are insane there was a man that was shot by a civilian. Then the riots got crazy. People are robbing stores. They are robbing houses and breaking and entering everywhere. It is absolutely insane. Protesters are throwing water bottles and rocks at the police because they are so mad. Protesters are holding Black Lives Matter signs. It was so bad that the police unloaded tear gas on the protesters. The police also used rubber bullets. They even vandalized the NASCAR Hall Of Fame. This protest is so dangerous that the governor called a state of emergency. This is a huge issue in the world right know because police are killing black people and there are more riots and protests . A lot of the protests have signs that say black lives matter or stop killing us. The protest in Charlotte is very tragic and dangerous to the people who live in charlotte. If something is not changed then there will be more and more protests happening in the world right now and that is very dangerous. We do not want more riots like the one back in the 90’s in Los Angeles California. Overall my thoughts and personal opinions are very strong about this. I believe that all lives matter and that the police should stop killing. I believe that when they are in a rough situation the first thing that they think about should not be to kill. Those are just some of my opinions on that matter. http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/21/us/charlotte-police-shooting/
This week for my blog I am going to be talking about a very important issue. This issue is the Boko Haram kidnapping. On 14 April 2014 276 School girls were kidnapped from the Chibok Government Secondary School by Boko Haram terrorists in Nigeria. This girls we just trying to get an education and were punished for trying to learn which in my opinion is very wrong. These terrorists think that they can just take these girls because they think that girls having an education is wrong. That is absolutely wrong. These girls were kidnapped in April and still have not been found. This is a very big issue because in the middle east girls are denied education which in all cases is wrong. Girls either have to sneak to school in hopes that they won’t be caught or they dress like boys to go to school. There are many big faces who have talked about this issue such as Malala Yousafzai and Michelle Obama. They have shared their thoughts on on it and even used the hashtag # bring out girls back. In my opinion this is very important because woman are human and people too. They should be treated as if hey were human because now they are treated so poorly. Woman should not by any means be denied an education. Woman / girls should not have to hide to get an education. Much less have to dress as the opposite sex to get an education . In my opinion that is very wrong because woman are human to and should be treated like it. Over all this a very big topic and a very sad topic. I believe woman should have the same rights as men, because men are just like woman because they are human overall this is a very sad and serious topic that should be acted on. http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/world/boko-haram.htm This week for my blog I am going to talk about a very big social issue. This issue is gender equality in the workplace. This is a very big issue in the world today because a lot of women are getting payed significantly less than a man is. In my opinion that is wrong, just because a person is of a different gender does not meant that that person deserves to get payed less. I am not talking about a woman who has different job than a male gets different salaries if they have a different job than of coarse they will get payed differently. I am talking about a woman who has the same job and as a man get payed differently. This is very unfair to woman because that means that they cannot get payed as a man. Recently I saw that Secret the deodorant company made a commercial taking about gender inequality in the workplace ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ilSeJ6B5ro ). That commercial really spoke out to me because Secret made a big move in making a commercial that touched on a big social issue. This issue has been a thing for a long time and a lot of people protest about it. It is huge and even some companies have changed their ways but not all companies have and that is a big issue. That means that there are people who think that is ok and it is one hundred percent not ok. It is very bad and unjust. How could someone thing that it was ok to do this and they do not even tell their employees. A lot of companies kept it such a secret and a lot of employees did not find out for years . Which is so wrong because no one should be treated differently because of the gender, age , race, or who they love. http://forwomen.org/forbes-dont-publish-sexist-op-eds/?gclid=CjwKEAjwmMS-BRCm5dn51JLbp1wSJACc61tFWm1zYF7zJN9xb70FaiXCVR_riejBIZND4_HJB9ZkyRoCIjHw_wcB |
