Daily Post #3 of 5

Today I have discovered something very horrifying. On CNN Student News there was a video about a eleven year old kid who had a harsh full punishment. The kid simply left his Trumpet at home and a teacher of a Texas school of New Caney Six Grade Camp had all the twenty-one kid band empty their spit valves onto the kids hands. This is an act of rudeness that has to be stopped. There are other ways of dealing with a kid like detention but making the kids empty the spit from their instruments and onto the boys hands. There are very high risks of diseases and let alone the fact that inside their instruments is mold growing inside them. This could have cause the kids life. To the world this gives of that the United States does not know how to give off a simple punishment. This shows that we are sick people just because of this. It has an affect on the world because what if this started to happen everywhere else, this could lead to a world heath crisis. The teacher has been dismissed on investigation terms and hopefully he gets his act together.

In todays news from the New York Times' web site there was a horrifying article on how newborn babes stay in prison with their mothers who have been caught up for drug dealing or kidnapping. The children stay with their mothers until they reach the age of six. But this isn't happening in the United States this is happening in Mexico City. The amazing thing is that the warden of the all womens prison told the writer that having the children in the prison makes the mothers and the women at the prison behave in a manner that is not prison like of them. The warden think having the children in the prison sets the women to behave themselves better and they rethink what they have done to get into the prison. The children are able to leave for holidays and weekends to visit their relatives. The mothers keep their children instead of sending them to close relatives because they say the children are like a breath of normal life inside the stuffy, deadening confines of the prison. But they are forced by their selves when they cant support their children when they are sick when they cant pay for the prescription medicine that the prison doctors give them then they have to send them to close relatives. The children are all safe in this environment as if they have some kind invisible force field around them. This could have an effect on the world because if all, all womens prison had their children with them then all the violence from the prisons can lower to an outstanding rate. I think that this is a good treatment for the women who have been locked up because it treats them more manners then they entered the prison with and hopefully when they get out they wont go back to what they were doing.

This article was written about how sports and athletic players have been abusing enhancements and using them to make them do better in the games or competitions that they have. It has disscussed about baseball players, football players, track and field. The other problem the writer talked about how referees and coaches abused their powers. On the referee part the writer talked about how they bet on one of the NBA game he was in and was fined. For the coach part every one probably has heard about Bill Belichick and how he video taped another teams practice. i think this does have an affect global wise because this is giving other people telling them that its ok to use enhancements and that they make you better. But this is truly a global situation because a lot of people are using these illegal drugs and sooner or later people are going to die from these drugs. What i think is that people should only use these illegal drugs for medical use only. These drugs are soon to become the next methamphetamine. I truly think that people don't need to use these drugs just to improve their game all they need is to work out without enhancements.
