These children with learning disabilities are not accommodated while trying to join their peers that may not have any disability, in school.

Hunger crisis deepens in Africa | Africa | DW.COM | 15.03.2016 - 0 views

  •  
    This article focuses on the food shortage in Africa. Unfortunately, this is affecting many, many adults and children in many countries in Africa. The article advises that the main cause of this food shortage seems to be the drought in these countries. Now I think that if the governments of these countries had some help to get it together, this could really help the people. Some of the countries are also raising the prices of their food, making it harder to buy-- worsening the problem.

Mad about Brock Turner's sentence? It's not uncommon - 0 views

  •  
    Many of us have heard about the Brock Turner case and a lot of people aren't happy about the outcome of it. Yes, he was sent to jail, but he raped a woman and the majority of people believe that he didn't get the time in prison (he didn't even go to prison) that he deserved. He was just recently sent home from jail. This article advised that in the past college athletes have committed crimes and were not given the right punishment for them. It also talks about Turner being classified as a sex offender possibly being worse than sending him to prison, which is actually a good point.
