In the article"CyberWar"Patricia Smith informs readers that there is a cyberwar going on between America, china, And Iran. Saudi Arabia's oil company, whcih is the most valuable owned company, was attacked and 75 percent of their documents,emails, and files were replaced wiht a picture of a burning American flag.
The U.S officials say Iran was behind the attack but some of the attacks are from China as well. China trys to hack American computers for imformation , meanwhile Iran hacks American computers for damage. Iran didnt just attack Saudi Armanco, The most valuable company in the world, they also attacked some of Americans largest banks. Obama decided to use cold name Olympic Games. This is the idea to "slow down or halt Iran's suspected nuclear weapons program." America retaliated in 2009 with a sophisticated computer virus called Stuxnet. It wiped out a fifth of Iran's centrifuges, which used to make nuclear weapons." The notion that you can carry out a cyberwar and defeat the other ugy without carrying out conventional war is absurd."
This is bad for the people in the U.S. What does this means for us. What if they hack into the transportation system and derail the trains. I catch the train to school all the time. My younger siblings catch the train as well.
They could just kill us without letting the people in America know what happened. Will America continue to cover this up and hope for the best. Obviously if it is that easy to get into the most valuable company , what else can they do.
Is this a warning that this will turn into a war. A war that we might not when. What if China And Iran team up just to destroy us. China makes most of America's things so what if they stop supporting us. This cannot be good. Is America going to warn it's people when it goes to far?

False Image
In the article " The Africa You Havent Heard About " by John Kron suprises readers and say that Arfica is actually an econimic dynamo. America portrays the image that Africa are of famine, genocide, corrupt governments, and bloody war but Africa really have the fastest-growing econmy.
The Unites States and Europe struggle with their economies but one of the fastest-growing econimes from 2001-2010 were Africa. There are two major factors are bursts of inter national investments and the rise of entrpreneurs.
The majority of the entrepenuerity are women. Alot of inetrnational companies are invested in Africa, especially China.
" While America may largely mispercieve Africa as a disator zone China sees the contenints promise." says New York columinst Nicholas. The number of poverty in Africa have went down roughly 10 percent.
The Africa we all know as a country of disater has potential. This is entirley suprises. This shows how ignorant we are to other countries.
Africa econmy is as strong as ours but they are growing. Instead of trying to battle over oils and other minerals in MiddleEast we should turn our sites to Africa. We are trying to help them so why cant this be one of the ways?
America often portray image that Africa is all about the poor. My father if from Guniea and his house was bigger than the one he has in America.
My friend was from Nigeria and her commnuity was better taken care off than some of the homes in America. america should invest in Africa as well. It can probably help us more than the MiddleEast.

Wrong connotations for Valentine day
Alot of people are saying America today do not care about marrage and will have sex without love but, Valintine day brings back the love in romance. Expectations wasnt the same for love in marrage as it was in the 1800's.
marriage was more of an arrangement than a companionship. Valentine was really granted a holiday by the Roman Catholic to limit of sexual passion.
Churches even went far as to malign marriage and encourage women to stay celibate. not untill 100 years later, after the late 17th century, people started to agree that Valentine day was based on love and marriage. Present day the high expections of marriage often end in disaters.
Although divorce was a higher rate , marriage has improved. Bak then violence, adultery, and day-to-day misery was expected in marriage.
Now marriage is more fullfilling. Marriage is suppose to be about love and passion not an arrangement. I was wshocked to know that Valentine was not about romance and that marriage was frowned upon.
Now and days being un married without love is on the same scale as sex without marriage. Often times people do enter surreal marriages that lead into disapointments. My aunt was married four times and they all ended with pain and a child.
I expect to marry one day and the key to marriage is love, trust, PASSION, communication and loyalty. I dont want to enter a marriage on a dream or naive but with copromise and communication.
I dont want my marriage to end in divorce i want to have a marriage that last until death do us apart.

Greenland or Mineland ?
In the article" The Great Race " by Elizabeth Rosenthal she informs the readers that the artic in Greenland is a gold mine. Beneath the artics ice are mineral resoures. Other scientists are worrying about the climate change.
Conversley other scientists are excited over the resources in Greenland's artic such as oil, gas, precious gems, and rare earth minerals. Action is taking place in Greenland and people are staking claims.
Countries wants parts and China is the agressive player in all this. They have been alarm among Western power. Chinese companies are financing the develope of minds. However, the U.S./ Russia, and several European nations have territory int the artica ,China doesnt Thats just the beginning.
Experts estimate that more that 20% of the worlds oil and gas are contained in the artic. In placs wer exploring s werent much, now the haggling as begun.
Canada is the haggler and they are against the U.S. and Denmark."We are treated so differenly than just a few years ago," says Jens B. Fredriksen, Greenland's vice premier," We are aware that is because we have something to offer." Grennland's main is exploration.
The melting of the sea ice has made the transportation of mined minerals easier. Oher attemps to mine has failed because of the cold and ice. Now that it's warming it has become less expensive. 100 new sites have been mapped out and companies altogether spent $100 million exlporing Greenland companies are applying for licensce to construct.
The discover of rare minerals are huge in Greenland because China is currently holding almost all the worlds rare earth minerals. " This is huge," said Eric Songergaard a geolists at Ausrtlaian company," could be mining this for the next 100 year."
This is really itAmerica. I think that Greenland should look at the situations at all angles.
China should stop trying to take over everything. Greenland should sit down with each country and take in each opotunity that are giving. Good or bad.
These countries should try to hanlde Greenland other way instead of agreesivley trying to take parts like a dog on a bone.
