When Donald Trump had a conference with Russia's prime minister, Vladamir Putin, regarding the tragedy in Syria, Trump has said he would change the Washington’s Syria policy by not sending help to fight against Bashar al-Assad’s (current prime minister of Syria) autocratic regime-and join with Moscow (Russia) to fight extremist groups. A lot of U.S. military that were trained to help in Syria are let confused on what they're future will be like.

Bannon has made racist, sexist, and anti-semantic remarks before. His wife reports him having once said that he didn't want his kids at the Archer School for Girls because there were "too many whiny jews". He ran Breitbart news, which had headlines such as 'Gay rights have made us dumber, it's time to get back in the closet', ' "Would you rather your child had feminism or cancer?" ', 'Birth control makes women unattractive and crazy', 'Trannies whine about hilarious Bruce Jenner billboard', and 'Suck it up buttercups: Dangerous Faggot Tour returns to colleges in September'. His blatant hate of anyone different will prove dangerous for minorities, women, and the LGBTQ community for the worse, and whatever America does will end up affecting the rest of the world.]]> 2016-11-28 21:09:35 UTC https://padlet.com/motero1/currentevents7_1/wish/140342983 aschultz22 https://padlet.com/motero1/currentevents7_1/wish/140343426 Ever since the 2015 Paris Climate Change Agreement, nations have unanimously come together to create the largest marine sanctuary located in Antartica.

The cartoonist below was using the theme of young brides. Young brides are girls who have reached the legal age of marriage (in Egypt it is 18) and are then married off by their parents to much older men. "The men in these societies are basically selling these girls off," says el-Adl. "And the state has failed to stop this happening." 
The Tunisia cartoonist did a cartoon on the topic of rape victims having to marry their attackers"When I first started drawing, I did so anonymously and everyone assumed I was a man," says Nadia Khiari. "They couldn't imagine that a woman could even draw, let alone sketch characters full of humor and wit." (her comic is on a separate padlet) 
The Morocco cartoonist, Riham Elhour, chose the theme foreign travel, and the numbers of Moroccan men who are using the law to stop their wives traveling abroad.

In some cases families including children are detained in centers that are unsanitary smelling of urine while, medical attention is limited, while there was also the smell of rotting food. The US president Barack Obama administration has pressured Mexico to intercept undocumented migrants before they reach the US. Mexicans are being mistreated when intercepted and no one is doing anything including the US. There is a program called Southern Border Program to help"protect" migrants as the US funded $86 million to help Mexico. In this time there have been a increase in detentions and deportations where migrants are treated cruelly. ]]> 2016-11-28 21:25:10 UTC https://padlet.com/motero1/currentevents7_1/wish/140346712 abrown229_1 https://padlet.com/motero1/currentevents7_1/wish/140347838 2016-11-28 21:30:38 UTC https://padlet.com/motero1/currentevents7_1/wish/140347838 abrown229_1 https://padlet.com/motero1/currentevents7_1/wish/140348680 2016-11-28 21:35:38 UTC https://padlet.com/motero1/currentevents7_1/wish/140348680 labazari221_1 https://padlet.com/motero1/currentevents7_1/wish/140349888 2016-11-28 21:41:44 UTC https://padlet.com/motero1/currentevents7_1/wish/140349888 labazari221_1 https://padlet.com/motero1/currentevents7_1/wish/140349898 2016-11-28 21:41:46 UTC https://padlet.com/motero1/currentevents7_1/wish/140349898 phoffman221_1 https://padlet.com/motero1/currentevents7_1/wish/143502776 Hi ]]> 2016-12-13 22:54:30 UTC https://padlet.com/motero1/currentevents7_1/wish/143502776
