CWP Period 4 by Kassondra Young https://padlet.com/266528/g448cysdzys3vdn0 Current Issue: What is your favorite current issue in the news? Why? (If you don't have one, just state that and explain why you don't have one.) en-us 2020-08-30 22:32:46 UTC 2025-11-05 09:04:27 UTC hello@padlet.com My favorite, or at least most interesting current issue is the Presidential Election. I think elections are always a good reminder that we live in a democratic republic and because of that we need to be active participants of that of which we live in. While I do feel this election is different with other pressing issues at large, even small elections should(in my personal opinion)always be taken seriously, bearing in mind people have fought and died for my right to vote! 266528 https://padlet.com/266528/g448cysdzys3vdn0/wish/712739254 2020-09-01 18:03:11 UTC https://padlet.com/266528/g448cysdzys3vdn0/wish/712739254 1290454 https://padlet.com/266528/g448cysdzys3vdn0/wish/712753602 My favorite current problem is the presidential election. It's interesting to see how people's opinions can be swayed so easily just by what they see and hear, regardless if it's the truth. The amount of manipulation the media is able to achieve with modern propaganda is astounding, and it's interesting viewing it from a neutral perspective as I won't be old enough to vote this year.]]> 2020-09-01 18:06:55 UTC https://padlet.com/266528/g448cysdzys3vdn0/wish/712753602 Defunding the police 1850392 https://padlet.com/266528/g448cysdzys3vdn0/wish/712759222 It's crazy to see how divided we on this one subject. It's also interesting to hear other peoples opinions about it.

When the civil rights movement came to an end the US government flooded low income black neighborhoods with guns and drugs to start gang wars and profit. So maybe they'll do it again for the George Floyd protests. ]]> 2020-09-01 18:09:52 UTC https://padlet.com/266528/g448cysdzys3vdn0/wish/712765781 Julia Ellis https://padlet.com/266528/g448cysdzys3vdn0/wish/712767407 In my opinion, the most interesting current issue is the election. It is important that our country chooses its leader carefully because it will severely impact our future.]]> 2020-09-01 18:10:17 UTC https://padlet.com/266528/g448cysdzys3vdn0/wish/712767407 Kenosha 1291332 https://padlet.com/266528/g448cysdzys3vdn0/wish/712778303 The most interesting issue to me are the protests in Kenosha. I'm interested to see if the arrival of the president will further escalate the situation. I'm also interested to see if the police involved will see justice, and the Kenosha police department will change directions.]]> 2020-09-01 18:12:59 UTC https://padlet.com/266528/g448cysdzys3vdn0/wish/712778303 protests 1321691 https://padlet.com/266528/g448cysdzys3vdn0/wish/712784314 protests are a good and a bad thing. The good being, uniting people to protest for a good cause. The bad is people getting hurt. Whats interesting is how divided people are on police. Personally, I do NOT support blue lives matter. I believe there is no such thing. However, people get really offended and angry with me; when I say that I don't believe that blue lives are even existent.]]> 2020-09-01 18:14:33 UTC https://padlet.com/266528/g448cysdzys3vdn0/wish/712784314 https://padlet.com/266528/g448cysdzys3vdn0/wish/712828016 the current interenting issue for me is the presidential election because i can see all kinds of different point of views and parties.

This interests me because, my family has been very affected by this. My parents own a small business, and this pandemic is extra stressful for us. We have been learning all we can about Covid-19, and there is just so much that we still don't know. ]]> 2020-09-01 18:55:47 UTC https://padlet.com/266528/g448cysdzys3vdn0/wish/712942468 Tate Peterson https://padlet.com/266528/g448cysdzys3vdn0/wish/713048362 The most interesting, but not most relevant thing that i've seen is that ubisoft, a game developing company, released a trailer for a game that poses protesters as the main villain, which is very relevant to what is really happening in the world today. What makes the situation for them even worse is that they decided to use the BLM fist symbol as the icon for the protesters in the game essentially saying that BLM protests are villainous. this caused a lot of controversy for ubisoft since they have done similar thing to this in the past just at a smaller scale. ]]> 2020-09-01 19:29:33 UTC https://padlet.com/266528/g448cysdzys3vdn0/wish/713048362 1372261 https://padlet.com/266528/g448cysdzys3vdn0/wish/713142560 currently I don't have anything in the news that I really follow the reason why I don't have anything I'm interested in is due to the fact that I don't like watching or reading things that are on the news]]> 2020-09-01 20:03:25 UTC https://padlet.com/266528/g448cysdzys3vdn0/wish/713142560 1307481 https://padlet.com/266528/g448cysdzys3vdn0/wish/713164163 My favorite current issue is the BLM movement because everyone if finally seeing the injustice that people are going through every day. ]]> 2020-09-01 20:11:34 UTC https://padlet.com/266528/g448cysdzys3vdn0/wish/713164163 My favorite current issue the Black Lives Matter movement it is finally great that our generation is finally speaking out on injustices that has been happening towards countless of American citizens for a long time. 1496745 https://padlet.com/266528/g448cysdzys3vdn0/wish/713436862 2020-09-01 23:03:12 UTC https://padlet.com/266528/g448cysdzys3vdn0/wish/713436862 U.S. issues 1286112 https://padlet.com/266528/g448cysdzys3vdn0/wish/713883106 I don't have a favorite current U.S. issue in the news. I often do not agree with perspectives of news reporters due to their bias and visible prejudice. I believe BLM and Covid-19 action and relief are the most crucial issues; I think these two topics are not treated as seriously as they should be.]]> 2020-09-02 03:48:06 UTC https://padlet.com/266528/g448cysdzys3vdn0/wish/713883106 1582905 https://padlet.com/266528/g448cysdzys3vdn0/wish/715728466 I think the most interesting current issue to me is the global pandemic. I find it interesting how other countries are handling it and how effective they may or may not be. We are also seeing both history and science happen in front of us. ]]> 2020-09-02 17:45:45 UTC https://padlet.com/266528/g448cysdzys3vdn0/wish/715728466 My favorite current event is the BLM movement. It's great that black voices are being amplified. As a white person, I don't know what it's like to experience these issues so it's very important that we educate ourselves on this topic and listen to black voices.

I really don't know what to trust in 2020, nor have I been able to trust most things for a good while. Media is biased, the news is biased, everything you hear has some form of bias. The media refuses to share anything unless they align with their political agenda, and often demonize things that don't fall under their agenda and praise things that do. Such is the way it has been for years.]]> 2020-09-03 17:50:01 UTC https://padlet.com/266528/g448cysdzys3vdn0/wish/718907866 Colin Price https://padlet.com/266528/g448cysdzys3vdn0/wish/720011132 I know politics are hot, and have been hot for a while, but of the current events in America, the hurricane season is what really interests me the most.
