If you look on the news right now what will you see? A country that cares about appearances, new trends and what this or that celebrity did. The times you do hear about terrorists attacks its because if they don't tell you then you will flip to another station and get the media coverage. You will never hear the Today Show talk about a car bomb going off in Syria killing two cops. I bet you have never heard of Aitzaz Hasas, the 15 year old kid who tackled a suicide bomber trying to enter his school saving hundreds but giving his life in the process. I am sick and tired of hearing about petty things such as this mom is mad her kid ate a crayon and is now suing the school. There are bigger things going on in this world and the fact that you have to turn to Al Jazeera News to hear about it is disappointing. The news needs to have better coverage of things that are not happening in the united states so people can know what's going on in the world. The news has people in the United States thinking that since it's not our country it's not our

    As soon as I asked my dad about the 9-11-2001 tragic event, he has recollected his memory of this day. He told me that he and my mom were traveling in a suburban train to attend Mother Mary’s novena at the famous Mahim church in Bombay (Present Mumbai) on that day. He had a habit of reading a local daily called “Mid-Day” while traveling in local trains to get rid of the noisy and boring commute. That day, on 9-11-2001 too he bought this daily. He was terrified by seeing the pictures and breaking news about the suicide terrorist attack on the twin towers in New York. This attack has brought down the landmark twin world trade centers and almost 3000 innocent people have lost their life in the tragic event. He remembered that two planes were used…

    Exposition: Taking responsibility for one's actions, is the cornerstone (a step forward) to becoming an adult. It is a really upsetting thing, when an adult (let alone a president) doesn't take responsibility for their actions. At a kid's point of view (or a point of view of any), that is hypocrisy, hypocritical and makes a kid think. Those kids are thinking, 'Why do I have to take responsibility for my actions if they don't?". "Can I say something to someone and do the opposite?" (Which is the definition of hypocrisy). It is true, when you take responsibility for your actions, you can learn from them. Once you know you "screwed up" or made a mistake, you realize that what you did was wrong and are less likely not to do that mistake again.…
