Hunters trade shots over deer breeding, killing methods


The article that I read is ‘Hunters trade shots over deer breeding, killing methods’ on Fox News deals with one of a social phenomenon about killing methods of deer. They point out a phenomenon which people judge the value of bucks as prize based on the scale that involves measurements between antlers. The article’s main argument seems like which killing methods is better; killing deer in the wild or killing deer by breeding. I think the article seems take the opposite stance about killing deer by breeding. The quotation of Brian Murphy “deer are release into three to five acres before they are shot down and he think that people who kill deer by this way follow “a code of ethics that is beyond reproach,”” shows the article’s opinion obviously. Overall, the article shows their opinion by suggest peoples’ saying which criticize about trade shots of deer breeding, so they seems to have opposite side about trading shots of deer breeding. In my opinion, they criticize the new killing method which kills raised deer by expressing this is unethical behavior.

Theater Owners Brace for New Rules on Accommodating Blind and Deaf


The article “Theater Owners Brace for New Rules on Accommodating Blind, Deaf” showed that some movie-house owners called for closed-captioning and audio narration technology to be installed in theaters so that Americans with disabilities could enjoy their films. The proposal started three years ago and is now under the White House’s review. The Obama administration will release the final report and make it public in the coming weeks.
Disability advocates argued that the proposal should be a good way of offering blind or deaf people the same quality of experience as other movie-goers. However, small and independent movie-house owners were against the proposal by saying that they cannot afford the additional cost of the digital upgrade and the technology shift. At the same time, the White House did not respond to the disposition of the proposal and did not respond when it will be finally agreed or how many theaters should make changes. Other related organizations, such as the Justice Department and the National Association of the Blind, also declined to comment on the proposal until the report is made public. 

Health care in Syria is 'hell on earth,' doctors say

This article is talking about the how bad the condition of health care in Syria is, according to a joint letter of 55 medical professionals, and asking for help to rebuild Syrian medical networks to save lives. In the joint letter, the doctors described Syria as “hell on earth”, the injuries not being taken care of and suffering from cancer, diabetes and heart disease, even sexual violence, due to the “deliberate and systematic attacks” on the medical facilities and staff. Over half of the hospitals had been destroyed or damaged in attacks, and a large number of doctors were in the jail or forced to flee abroad, only 36 remaining in Aleppo. And because the government refused aid personnel to enter, the rebel groups blocked medical supply convoys, and the inflexibility and bureaucracy in the international aid system, things went even worse. The signatories are urging the Syrian government and rebel groups to get rid of the restrictions, and asked other governments to stop the attacks on medical facilities and personnel. Also they called on UN and other donors to increase the support and supply to Syrian medical networks.


EXCLUSIVE: Navy Yard gunman earned glowing evaluations during time as reservist

The article I read is about the tragedy happened yesterday - Aaron Alexis who was a Navy reservist killed 12 people at a military facility in Washington.
This article wrote by Justin Fishel from Fox News claims that Aaron Alexis earned glowing evaluations during his service time, which can be an important reason driving him to this murder.

According to Fox News, during 2007 to 2011, Aaron Alexis was described as an “eager trainee” who had “unlimited potential” and “get it done attitude”. However, he also had more than one arrest records which are in sharp contrast to these rave reviews. In Navy’s final evaluation of Aaron Alexis, he was evaluated as “a valuable asset to any civilian organization”. He was also reported as a “talented technician” and a “must promote” man. But these do not mean he was a perfect reservist in fact. According to his arrested records, he was arrested in 2004 because of shooting out tires of a car but he was not prosecuted and in 2010 he shot his neighbor but prosecutors “declined to pursue the case”. Both of these incidents have no effect on his evaluations. In 2008, he would be arrested for disorderly conduct, but he was still praised as a “proven technician” in his next review. In 2009, he got his first negative review and was arrested. But very soon, Alexis appealed and reinstated his rank. The last review from the U.S. Navy served as a reference was actually very irresponsible for employers because in that evaluation, Alexis was still described as a man “who possesses the potential to achieve great things”.
