Not because there's protesters, but because of what the police, the president, and society are doing to them. ]]> 2020-08-18 15:31:57 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/685112461 https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/685117470 What I was most concern more about the Corona-virus Pandemic is how it transition into a lot of places and states when it was first heard in china.]]> 2020-08-18 15:33:26 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/685117470 I say that the BLM movement is very scary and concerning to me is because im a black women. Seeing that innocent black lives get taken away on the daily by people thats suppose to save lives is very scary. Also with this protest weve destroyed our own city trying to be heard. https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/685119633 2020-08-18 15:34:08 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/685119633 https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/685121839 The pandemic was most concerning to me for the fact the it completely turned around our lives, even tho the virus its self is no more deadly than the flu it just spreads easier than the flu. But the virus came along and shut everything down and could have easily been more controlled ]]> 2020-08-18 15:34:50 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/685121839 corona is more concerning to me because its killed more people https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/685121892 2020-08-18 15:34:51 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/685121892 As we protest for the Black Lives matter movement it was based off the injustice system of the police who mistreated them and now as it began some people started looting other people's business instead of what we were standing for. https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/685126351 2020-08-18 15:36:13 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/685126351 The virus is concerning to me because we were very unprepared for a contagious virus like this. As a result of not being prepared many people have died, and cases keep going up. https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/685126653 2020-08-18 15:36:19 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/685126653 The BLM movement is most important and concerning to me. As a black Women and having a black younger brother and father, I worry everyday if they will get home safely. I believe things need to change and that starts with the police force! https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/687330383 -Maya Turner]]> 2020-08-19 15:19:40 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/687330383 maurion https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/687336342 this movement is most important to me because of course im black and all my friends and family are too. you'll never know the feeling of getting pulled over and having to pray every time that you dont get killed.]]> 2020-08-19 15:21:11 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/687336342 Yasmin Salinas https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/687336523 The corona virus is concerning to me because you can get it anywhere. You can go for a walk or simply go outside for some fresh air and get it. Corona virus is killing tons of people. It has gotten to the point we have to wear masks everywhere. To this day there is also no cure. You have to be careful around your surroundings now. Who knows how much longer we have to be like this... ]]> 2020-08-19 15:21:14 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/687336523 https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/687337530 this is the most concerning to me simply because this is a matter of racism. this would still be happening even if there wasn't a global pandemic or a presidential election this year. it has been going on for a very long time. diseases and presidents come & go usually but this has been ongoing & it needs to end. this is people killing each other which is the most devastating thing. racism is the dumbest thing ever. why would someone kill another based off their skin color? it is absolutely awful.  ]]> 2020-08-19 15:21:31 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/687337530 I believe the coronavirus pandemic has been the most serious topic this year. The government is obviously not taking anything serious and they seem to barely care for it. I personally feel like they should have done something the second they heard about the virus and not wait until there was 100+ cases. https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/687338543 2020-08-19 15:21:48 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/687338543 Ellyssia https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/687339421 I would say this is most important event going right now because innocent black women and men are being killed for taking run in their own neighborhood. This movement has been going for a long time. But black people never get justice they deserve.]]> 2020-08-19 15:22:03 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/687339421 i choose corona virus pandemic because it scare me more then anything i have a friend her 5 month old baby girl died because of covid so it does scare me. https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/687340409 2020-08-19 15:22:22 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/687340409 corona virus https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/687342478 2020-08-19 15:22:58 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/687342478 I say the upcoming Election because depending on how it goes determines the effect and response to the other two options. https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/687343231 2020-08-19 15:23:14 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/687343231 https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/687347570 I'd say the coronavirus is more concerning since it can make you sick and lead to death. you also have to wear a mask whenever you go out to provide safety for yourself.]]> 2020-08-19 15:24:41 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/687347570 China Food crisis https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/687351569 I say the food shortage in China has been the most concerning topic of this year because China is the #1 food supplier in the world and once the food shortage hits the U.S the prices will rise and family's will start to starve  ]]> 2020-08-19 15:25:59 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/687351569 https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/687360723 Corona pandemic is the most concerning, because it spread really fast and there was no time to counter. This lead to death that were devastating and unnecessary.]]> 2020-08-19 15:28:55 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_singleton/coxuk3nxvltgbjs6/wish/687360723
