Second Blog Post – NY Times
My group, Hiipower, chose violence as our theme of the year because it is an extremely serious issue occurring domestically and globally. There have been several important events this year that impact the lives of thousands of people, which is why we found this topic so compelling. I wrote my blog post about the situation in Syria, which has been a hot topic in the news. One article that I read stated that Syria’s first reaction to the aggressiveness of the United States was reluctant until Obama threatened to launch missiles if they did not cooperate. This shows that if Syria does not continue to cooperate, the United States may become involved in another war. If this were to happen, everyone’s lives in the U.S. could potentially be in danger.
