1. When I read this article I thought it was weird for a kid to bring a clock to school. And if the asked him to put it away he should. I think he shouldn't be bringing the clock to school but if he does no big deal put it in his backpack. But if it becomes a probably it shouldn't be to big of a deal the teacher should just pick it up and then give it back at the end of the day.

2. I think he was first singled out from the clock. But when they saw his skin they got too many ideas of what could happen. And they look at how he was dressed and got even more ideas about what he was up to.

Gigi Francis period 7 

Publishing drunk drivers' photos

       
  In this article people started noticing there were pictures of drunk drivers in the newspaper trying to stop people from driving under the influence. People became angry there photos are in the newspaper to drunk driving. The conflict was it was appropriate they were publishing those photos. If people should be embarrassing these people in the news for drinking under the influence. The main reason they were publishing it was to scare other people and into never drinking and driving.

Personally I believe that it is inappropriate to publish there pictures in the news. Its uncalled for and the is no reason they need to put photos. I can understand just a name a little more. although I can see why they want to embarrass people so others won't do it. But i think there is a better way of showing that. They may have made a mistake but they shouldn't be publicly humiliated for it.


Naming victims of sex crimes

    In this article kids from around the United States have been sexually abused and abducted. And they had named the victims of the crimes in then they had many interviews about there past events. Some interviews leaving them "visibly upset." They had movies and books made about there abductions. Many people were wondering is it was okay to name the victims of the crimes names in the articles and stories they had wrote.

Now the question is if it was appropriate for them to use the names. I think that when they are missing of course use there names so they can try to find them. But after the incident they should be asking the kids if they want there names all over the world. Because it is there name after all and they should be deciding where there name should be. If its okay with them then its perfectly okay to name them. On the other hand if they don't live like some of the stories I think they should find the parents or I would put the names because they are gone and people need to know because they might have known them.


The media's foul ball

In this article a man at a baseball game tries to catch a foul ball in order for the player not to be able to catch it and make the out. He was escorted by security out of the field. The ball was accused for the reason they lost the game. And he man was known all over for his actions.

The question is if it was okay for they to name him for his actions. I think it was fine to name him for his actions. If he wanted to catch that ball so bad he deserves to be known for doing that. He should be noticed for the actions he did. He knew what he was doing when he did it. Granted I don't think it was the reason they lost, though it could have shaken up the player trying to catch it.
