    This nonprofit organization, DKT International, has been promoting family planning and HIV/AIDS prevention through social marketing since1989. DKT has 21 programs in 19 countries around the world. They cater their prices to the poorest country's needs going down as low as 2 cents per contraceptive. In doing this and providing family planning and some education, they are making contraceptives and HIV/AIDS prevention more easily accessible for everyone. Overall, this organization will help to keep populations from rising as fast, help to lower the number of child and mother deaths and to lower the total fertility rate.

  • No one expected this to happen here. We are religious here. And we believe God has a plan. Which is why you will not hear people here shouting for revenge and arguing about whether we should talk peace or not talk peace or fight. We leave that to the politicians.”

  • The situation is worsening already hostile relations between Israel’s prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, and the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas.
  • much of the tension since the summer was being driven by still strong anger among Palestinians over the murder of teenager Mohammed Abu Khdeir, as well as a deep anxiety over perceived Jewish encroachment into the Noble Sanctuary, known to Jews as the Temple Mount.
  • Pope Francis voiced dismay at the “alarming increase in tension in Jerusalem” and appealed to both sides to take the “courageous decisions” needed to achieve peace.
  • “wave of Palestinian terror starting to resemble a religious war”, Amos Harel in Haaretz has blamed both sides, the Israeli government for contributing “to the emphasis on the religious component of the conflict by demonstrating helplessness in the face of recent efforts by right-wing [Jewish] activists to change the status quo regarding Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount”. On the Palestinian side, he added: “Defending al-Aqsa Mosque [on the holy site] provides an appropriate excuse for the recent terror perpetrators.”

    This article discusses the Israeli-Palestine conflict and how that has turned into many cruel acts of violence. What would possess someone to kill these men, especially on the stairs of a holy place?

    This article is a perfect example of the migration that we have been discussing in and out of class. The author talks about the pros and cons of the current European migration patterns, and how if they are not adjusted, Europe could face serious issues in years to come. Will Europe do anything about it?

    I find it interesting that this article can be related to multiple themes, depending on how you perceive it. This topic and the idea of germ arsenals could be incredibly deadly and has the potential, if used in the future, to obliterate entire groups of people leaving them vulnerable and their homelands verminous.
