Summary: At Northern Arizona University, a recent shooting at one of the dorms injures three students and kills one. The violent act was suspected to be committed by 18-year-old freshmen Steven Jones. However, Jones seems not have a reason to have shot the four students he did, but the seem to simply be victims of opportunity. But life goes on in Flagstaff, Arizona. The university is now secure and safe once again.

Reaction: I am shocked at this news. Shootings have become a major problem within the U.S.; however, most shootings are reserved to high schools, theatres, or stores. Rarely are colleges the place of these violent acts. The amount of shootings is increasing dangerously fast, and the range of the attacks are expanding. This is a problem that needs to be controlled and fixed. Otherwise, nobody will be safe anywhere.

Summary: China, which previously banned couples from having more than one child, is finally allowing a slightly bigger limit of two.  After realizing that the limit was going to have eventual detrimental effects, China officials finally changed this law.  However, the damage might have already been done

 

Reaction:  I think this is a fantastic thing. Perhaps the world may be already over populated, but it’s unfair for them to be the only ones to be limited. The one-child ban could cause a lot for problems if it had not been lifted when it had. Hopefully, the issues caused can be fixed.

 

World impact: China might not be the whole world, but what happens there does affect most of the world. China is huge trader with most countries around the world. If they have problems with their economy or other issues, it plays a part in how they interact with other places. This  has already been predicted to cause some problems. If these problems come to pass, then the whole world might need to help out.
