The readings I found
were quite interesting. I scoured the
World, Technology and Science sections of the Times as well as studying some
articles on the main page and found some fascinating news. In the world section a read an article about
US diplomatic talks with South Korea.
The plan we signed with South Korea was a protective measure for South
Korea against their aggressive neighbors, North Korea. This article was important because of current
events such as the nuclear threat North Korea made towards the US. This article shows us that we are not alone
in our fight against Communism and dictatorships and that we will reach out to
those that are threatened by it. This
was the best article I read because it really ties into current events and it
also effects every US citizen because North Korea has made it clear that they
have no love for us and could even be dangerous. I found this knowledge useful because we know
who the threat is but this article also emphasizes that we also have allies and
we won’t let them stand alone against the North Koreans. The other two articles I read were from the
technology and science sections. Both
were cool but I didn’t think they were as globally important as the World
article. The technology article was
about finding young hackers that could eventually aide government programs such
as the FBI. The science article although,
not as important as the world article, was actually the most interesting. It is about a super computer called the
Quantum computer. Basically this
computer runs a million times faster than any other computer which I thought
was awesome!
