This article is very informational on the death penalty in Arizona. It shows a timeline on how the process started back in 1965, until current times. It ranges from hangings, to gas chambers, and now the lethal injections. There are examples provided as well on the different inmate cases that were sentenced the death penalty.

This article brings to light a crazy social norm. It is very difficult to truly know what is real without first-hand knowledge. It is very sad that we don't know who or how to trust anymore.

Social media is innately powerful in the hands of people. People with social media accounts get access to information from people around the world. In addition, they often get first-hand accounts of events that others observe and share on their "story." Social media comes with a price. As people get more information from other people, their lives become less private. Leaked information leads to unwanted information attacks that most people decry and blame on social media. I see these platforms as a trade agreement. While you get more information and freedom online, others get more information about you. So the foremost question here is, is the loss of privacy worth the instantaneous flow of information?

I especially like this article because this is a very current issue that needs to be addressed. The question you ended with is a really good one, I do not think it's worth exposing private information just for instant gratification of scrolling through social media for a few minutes. This is a great topic to expand on.
