    Current Event Paper

    A Pakistani girl was released from a Birmingham, England hospital recently after recovering from two gunshot wounds. Malala Yousufzai, only 15 years old, was shot twice by the Taliban back in October. Malala is an advocate for girls to be educated in Pakistan, after the terrorists banned all girls from schools in her town of Swat, back in 2009. The Taliban do not tolerate people like Malala, so when she was located, she was shot. The gunshot wounds caused swelling in Malala’s skull and she became deaf when her middle ear was damaged. Doctors had to remove part of her skull so the swelling in her brain wouldn’t cause severe brain damage. Months later, when the swelling was down, doctors operated again replacing the part of her skull that was removed and adding titanium, as her head and bone fragments have changed. A cochlear device was implanted in her left ear to restore her hearing. Malala hopes to be fully recovered in a month. This terrible incident is not stopping Malala from promoting her cause. She stated, “God has given me this new life and I want to serve and I want every girl, every child to be educated.” Malala will continue rehabilitation in Birmingham, where her family is temporarily living.…

    Senate Democrats drop reforms from an aid package set for Ukraine on Tuesday. The funds would have increased the Ukraine loan package while ratifying changes that only the United States has opposed. President Obama proposed those changes to European allies whom have agreed, but won’t be providing as much money as he proposed to the cause. “The governance changes would raise the borrowing limit of countries like Ukraine at the multilateral lending institution, while giving more authority to emerging economic heavyweights like China, Brazil — and Russia. The Obama administration painted them as vital to a Ukraine aid package, but Republicans were never convinced.” “But Republican leaders saw them more as a bargaining chip and were pressing to swap the changes for an agreement from the administration to delay final Internal Revenue Service regulations on political groups that conceal the name of their donors by incorporating as tax-exempt “social welfare” organizations.” Both these quotes represent two different viewpoints on this issue, one being other countries will take it for granted and emerge China, Brazil and Russia; but others view it as a distraction from taxes and the IRS.…

    I read an article on Wall Street Journal about the Justice Department investigating the police force in Ferguson, Missouri. They suspect possible misconduct or discrimination against the 18-year-old, Michael Brown, who was shot by one of Ferguson’s Police officer, Darren Wilson. There is still question to whether the officer is charged or not. Ferguson and surrounding areas will be analyzed on their police training and policies. The Ferguson police force welcomes the investigation and analyzing so that they can improve in any way they need to serve the community better. Further investigation in this will help ease the Ferguson community and feel like they can trust their local police force. If there were not any more investigation, this would cause a lot of uneasiness upon the people of Ferguson. They expect thorough investigation to be done so that they know for sure what really happened and if the Ferguson police force is actually discriminating against the minorities in their community or not. The police force may be at fault for approaching situations the wrong way and coming off as discriminating with the community members.…

    This current event article is about the Supreme Court’s rule that allows people to give political campaigns money. The 5-4 ruling eliminated limits on how much money people can donate in total in one election season. However, the decision left intact the current $5,200 limit on how much an individual can give to any single candidate during a two-year election cycle. Until now, an individual donor could give up to $123,200 per cycle. The ruling means a wealthy liberal or conservative donor can give as much money as desired to federal election candidates across the country, as long as no candidate receives more than the $5,200 cap.…
