Weekly #3

              WikiLeaks has dropped bombshells with the release of important classified documents from governments around the world. My thoughts about the global issues are very confusing. I think it good that he trusth is coming out to the world because we have to also know the ruth and what has been going on in the world, but with everything i feel like its going to bring a lot of conflict with the world. Justice has to be hurd though and thats what in this article is trying to show. He has the right to say anything if he knows is true and there should show us what the government is really like. With his arrest or anything that might happen to him can come to a war or a really big argument between contries.

any letters today?

Today we have so many ways to communicate with the people we love. From friends to family members we always try to keep in touch with them any way we can. We are very fortunate to have new technology to be able to do that but I wish I could say the same for the soldier fighting in world war I. The frustrations I think that the wife’s/moms/ friends to either get the letter or send it out was the biggest most annoying feeling out there. Not knowing about a person you care the most must be horrible. The feeling that might go through their head is crazy they will never know that they could be dying or if they are hurt cause the letters wont go through the same day they wrote anything. I feel so sad for what they might of gone trough just cause if I ever stopped talking to my love ones I would dye. I can relate to them a little bit. I just feel they could have been worse for them.

It was the Gallipoli Campaign cost the Allies 141,113 killed and wounded and the Turks 195,000. Gallipoli proved to be the Turks' greatest victory of the war That conquered all. At the time - World War I, the Great War, saw the greatest number of casualties the world had ever seen. The total number of casualties in
World War I, both military and civilian, was about 37 million: 16 million deaths and 21 million wounded. The total number of deaths includes 9.7 million military personnel and about 6.8 million civilians. The Entente Powers(also known as the Allies) lost about 5.7 million soldiers while the Central Powers lost about 4 million. I think that what caused was the great number of casualties was duty, destiny, catastrophe, courage, rage, redemption, & a trump for human spirits.

     The first building phase known as the French Period lasted ten years from 1881-1889.The American Period, 1904-1914, will be remembered for its audacity but, more than for its boldness and engineering innovation, it will recall the enormous price paid in human life.The French Period of the building of the Panama Canal simply carried forward and highlighted the hazards from the construction of the Railroad. Five hundred lives were lost for every mile of the length of the Canal, or a total of 25,000 deaths. I feel like the worked very hard in what they built.

Yellow-Journalism

        During the 1890s, journalism that sensationalized and dramatic events was a powerful force that helped propel the United States into war with Spain.Yellow journalism a type of journalism that presents little or no legitimate well-researched news and instead uses eye-catching headlines to sell more newspapers. Techniques may include exaggerations of news events, scandal-mongering, or sensationalism. Yellow Journalism is used today as a pejorative to decry any journalism that treats news in an unprofessional or unethical fashion.Yellow journalism has taken on a new meaning. Modern journalists are in a race to be the best, and thus, often use false or semi-false sources. Or add something to a story to make an already sensational story even more sensational. Like for example The U.S.S. Maine it catches many peoples attention and for them they have many opportunities when it comes to this title.

SOA

               SOA stands for The School of the Americas it is a combat training school for Latin American soldiers, located at Fort Benning, Georgia. Initially established in Panama in 1946, it was kicked out of that country in 1984 under the terms of the Panama Canal Treaty.The SOA, frequently dubbed the “School of Assassins,” has left a trail of blood and suffering in every country where its graduates have returned. The SOA has trained over 60,000 Latin American soldiers in counterinsurgency techniques, sniper training, commando and psychological warfare, military intelligence and interrogation tactics. These graduates have consistently used their skills to wage a war against their own people.
              I do think the United States should be able to operate such an prganization and train people in the practice of the coup d'etat. because this group has worked very hard to stand where they are and that is what the united states is all about. about not giving up on something they want. This group has dome so many things for other coontrys like colombia. They try to do something different and the united states would help if they join.
