In the article" Barely Enough Grizzlies," Marry Chalier, Staff Reporter of the Wall Street Journal, states " Government wants them on the Endangered," referring to the grizzly bears, and asks " How many is enough?"
The species of grizzlies are considered dangerous to all species but a natural enemy to humans, the clash is fatal. In 1975 grizzlies was put on the endangered list sicne they were only thought to total 1,000. Federal officials now say they have rebound by there isn't any hard evidence to support this. Evironmentalists,however,believe that even if the grizzly popluation have incresed they are still endanger.
They is still not enough to take them off the endangered list. The group is still going to be small to take away animal federal protection, Ateempt to take a consues has failed since it semms that the grizzly seems to elude humans; this makes it hard to get rid of the false accusation of their being just 1,000. Richard Mace, once tried to take a picture of a family of bears and his camera was slashed. He said" when the camera flashed, the grizzly slashed."
Biologists and Environmentalist are slowly making progress to protect not only the humans btu the animals as well. Animals are important to our environment but also dangerous for humns. If they are going to try to count the grizzlies they need to try a little harder.
What if they have a accussation and it is not true? That means that their are grizzly bears roaming al over and not accounted for. Endangered species are important to humans and the environment. If we do not try to stop the extinction of animals we will becom extinct ourselves. humans are messing with nature for their own selfish reasons but feign suprise when they found out that certain animals are exticnt.
Bush ignored the extinction of species but Obama aknowledged them. He created the Endagered species act bringing science back. People will soon realize how important animals are untill their gone

Another Nuclear War: Serious or Empty Threat
In the article" Kaorean War Part 2?" Choe Shang-Hun give readers background information and possiblites for the threats made from North Korea. North Korea is a poor communist country compared to South Korea. Their history goes back unitll 1953 which , was the end of the Korean War.
Few people have a say in North Korea under communism and this causes less freedom than South Korea. North Korea rivals South Korea because of their history of war and is making threats against them and the U.S. Kin Jong Un was made leader after the death of his dad but nothing has changed.
They are both unpredicatable. He has made several threats to lauch nuclear weapons into American and South Korea.
However no one knows the reason behind this threat. There are a few specualtion why but no one have the exact reason. One specualtion is that Kim Jong Hun is trying to strenthen his image in North Korea.
Another speculation is that he is trying to put pressure on the U.S and South Korea to negotiate his terms on his nuclear progrram. The most common specualtion is that Kim Jong Un is derranged. No one will no the reasons for the threats but it seems as if he has an American buddy to give American a hint, Dennis Rodman.
This threat could be serious or it could be empty. America seems lost on this situation and they need to find their head soon. America is preparing by spending $1 bllion dollars on " additonal missile" in Alasa and Calorinia. Are we already in debt?
How in the world are they going to spend $2 bllion dollars for missiles when were're resscion American needs to prepare but how can they prepare when were're in debt ?
This situation is complete out of our hands and we need to ask for help. Why would Dennis Rodman buddy with a man who is trying to supposedly blow up our contry?
There aernt many possbilities to handle this situation but to prepare the best we can and wait. Will this harm us tremedously or just a little?Im all out of possiblities to help this situation.

Raisng Minium Wage: Pros and Cons
In the article" Time for a Raise?"Patricia Smith shares an interesting fact involving the White House. President Obama wants to increase the minium wage to $9 an hour.
There are pros to this situation. Employees who get paid mininum wage and need to support their family can make earn more money. President Obama said " It could mean the diffrence between groceries or the food bank, rent or eviction, scraping by or finally getting ahead . For business across the country it would mean customers with more money in their pockets."
There are cons to Obama raising minnium wage. Alot of companies who higher minimun wage empployee's will have to increase their cost of doing business. This means they will have a hard time paying employee's and giving current ones raises.
There are also the small business that do not have enough to pay their employee's already. This can cause a inflation of unemployment. Speakers of the House, John Boecher said" At a time when the American people are still asking the question, ' Where are the jobs?' Why would we want to make it harder for small employers to hire people?".
Many argue that raisng minimum wage to emplyee's makes it unfair to employes who are not on minimun wage.
There are still questions an no sultions. This makes me happy because I am a teenager and thats all we are getrting paid. Yet there are alot of downsides to this law. Have they come to man impasse or a solution?
Will the answer affect us in a bad way or a good way? This law can help me in a long rong because they are making it harder for public school teenagers to get scholar ships.
You have to literally jump through hoops to get into a good college and get a good scholarship. If they raise minimun wage I will be able to save money.
However there are many problems with raisng minimum wage. This law can either go good or drop to bad. Im not sure wether to choose raise the wage or not.

Found Peom
For The Love of Books
To read books that might sit otherwise untouched
To find happiness in another
Is an energized reach for peace that has achieved
Set backs have been outwieghed
In a gesture of recognition
Lurking barely beneath the surface
Beyond faddish interest
A deeper pride creeps up when you spend enough time
Beggining to fill in
The mind and heart
You can fly without
promises, written into deeds and other instruments
words with size rather than shape
Reflection: My poem is about books and I chose these certain articles because each one contributed to my poem about books. I found each article by thinking of a word or words that I wanted to be in my article and the types that word into the search. My poem is trying to say that books make you free and each one has its own adventure. My poem have nothing to do with any of these articles because the words I needed to create my poem came from articles that had nothing to do with books.It was really fun to create a found poem because you could take words from any article and make it your own.The first thing I did was look for an article that appealed to me. Then I went on from there and bulit my peom. Believe it or not after the last line I made the tittle. This was really a great experience.

Nobody's Safe From The Evil Of Money, Even The Animals
In the article" Slaughter of the Arfican Elephants" by Samantha Strindberg and Fiona Maisels tells readers a poignant fact about the African elehpants. African elephants are being slaughtered brutally for their tusks.
62 percent of the elephants were gone from the African forest in a spand of 10 years. Elphants are being paoched for their ivory and mostly far east countries are bying the ivory. They are on a demand and the ivory is limtied making it more expensive. " An elphants tusks have become bling for consumers who have no idea or simply dont care that it was obtained by inflicting terror, horrendous pian and death..."
These elephants are being killed off from extention but they are a huge factor in the ecological sysem. The help habitats, trees, and biodiversity. The elphants are scared to roam far from the family which keeps them from spreading their natural gardening scale.
Even though the elphants are protected there are still paochers who have easy access and are easlit able to slaughter the elphants.The elphants are becoming slowly less and less if people continue to demand ivory.
In the article Samntha Stringberg and Fiona Maisels goes on to say that the elphants need more protection and for the police to follow the money laudering to stop the paoching business. This is happening in one of the continents that's considered to have the most povery in it's inner countries.
How can they afforrd more protection for ELEPHANTS when they cant even help their own people. Firt thing first there are problems way bigger in Africa that needs the police attenion like the trafficking of women and children. All the animals are important and we do need to stop the demand of ivory because this could not only hurt the animals but us also.
People who are buying the ivory are probably ignorant to the fact that people are brutally killing animals so we need to make it to their attention. As as conservation activist they need to raise the most awareness and get peoples attention the best way the can.

Education Highly Valued
In the article" Failure is not an option," Sharon La Franiere reveals an interesting fact.In China there is a test called"gaokao(gow-kow)" that raises the stakes and determine the furure of 9 million Chinese students this year. It is sort of like the SAT's but the test is "twice as long and the stakes are much higher."
About three to five students make the cut and if they do not pass they have to wait a yeasr to retake it. The exam preperation are crucial and any mikstakes can hurt their results or chance to take the test so students try thier best not to mess up or arrive late. China is a country that values education highly and gaokao is considered the course set of one's life.
For Chinese students the preperations are stressful and overwhelming. Zhao Xiang, a high school graduate from Guizhou Province took the test and her comment was, Sometimes it was pressure from my family, sometimes it was preure from myself." Schools in Chiona sat aside senior year of highschool as a year for the gaokao. Lui from Tiajin, in eatern China said," I want to study until the lat minute and I really hope to be successful."
This test determines everything for the future of the youth. America should take notice of this because while other conutries value education highly we waste it down the drain. This should be and example to America and this should let them know that education is taken for granted here.
Many students who are successful in America are not from America. Asian children value education so they excal in life while Americans believe that everything is handed to them. Children from other countries work hard for thier education because in certain countries education is not easy to get.
My techers complain all the time that students waste education and learning experience and I agree. I want to get all the education I can while I can because now and days the government is cuttring budgets on school and before we know it schools are only going to be for weathy kids.
Nobody wants this so as Americans we need to step up more toward education befor it dissovles

Banning Of Women On Combat Lifted
In the article " Sisters in arms," James Dao informs readers that the military is lifting the banning on woman in combat. In 2001, the wars in Iraq and Afganistan has changed the milatries needs.
Today, women make up about 15% of the 1.4 million active-duty in the U.S millitary. There are people who support this but htere are people who have there worries. Such as the millary is skeptism about womens abilities in active duty.
The military worry about the mental and physical abilites in active duty. They worry about the image the coonatations the milatary will have when a women returns from the war dead and they also worry about the standards would be lowered or people to join the milatary to accomadate the women.
Greg Jacob is a former U.S Marine officer who supports the change said" If the best shot in the platoon is a woman, I can make a snipper. But untill now I coudnt do that."
Other countires have already took that step in allowing women in combat, what took us so long?Women have been proving they are capable for so long and men still dont get it. We are equal and deseve to be treated as that.
We do not want to sit in the house and gossip all day . We want to take the world by storm and see the world. We want to show the men that whatever they can do , we can do as well. My aunt is in the army and she told me that men often often throw sexist comments but when she is out on the field they stare at her in awe.
As young lady myself I want to show the world that I am capable of handling the big dogs and will get dirty with them as well to stay on top.
