In Historically Incorrect Canoodling, by Stephanie Coontz tells the true history of Valentine's Day and its meaning. Stephanie Canoodling was really focus on people commit adultery without loving nor having true feelings for the person and they don't value their marriage"s, that's why she wants us to know that Valentine's Day is for us to remember love.
In the article Historically Incorrect Canoodling had some important facts such as "Married couples vow to renew their love" this quotes stood out to me because I agree with what Stephanie Coontz is saying because I do feel that their are many people that are just marrying people just to marry them
Stephanie Coontz explains that Valentine's Day expectations has changed overtime. This article also stated that back then "marragies were arranged and it was mixed emotions" about that situation.
Well as for me I believe that Valentines Day is primarily for lovers. But, you can also celebrate Valentine's Day with your friends. Strengthen the bond of friendship with a simple act of love. Let your friend know how much you enjoy hes/hers companionship that's what I do on Valentine's Day since I'm not grown up to actually fall in love with an mate. And I do not agree with the marriages being "devaul" because their are people that actually valus their marriages and cares for their love mates.
This article reminds me of the valentines Day movies and T.V shows that comes on every valentines day. These two things shows pictures, such as what people do on valentines day for their love ones ,. I also be seeing peoples in my family buy special gifts for their love ones or if they dont buy them gifts they spent that whole day with them showing and telling their love ones how special they are to them.
I really dont have any questions I'm just a little concern on how people are really treating Valentines Day. Such as , are they using it for the right purpose or just because they feel that everyone else around them are doing things thats why they should do it or thats why they are doing it now days.

A Rare Case Of Justice
In "A Rare Case Of Justice" by Graham Bowley is based on all types of different struggles in Afghans such as women rights , rapes and force to get married at the age of 13 and abused, young Afghan girls are not in school and if they were trying to go to school they were doused with acids to keep them out of their classes their was also a 14 year old girl that fought for girls education in that country and they also talked about childbirth and pregnancy.
In the article "A Rare Case Of Justice" have some important quotes such as "if you take away that funding and pressure " says Heather Barr of women's rights Watch, the progress on women's rights "sustainable." I think that this quotes means that if there was no pressure in women rights there will be more success.
There was a fact in this article that stood out to me such as 1,400 number of Afghan women who died in childbirth or from pregnancy related causes for every 100,000 live births. The U.S rate is 21 deaths for every 100,000 live births.
There was also another fact of this article that stood out to me such as little girl name Sahar Gul who brought out the issue about young ladies being abused and forced to get married at the age of 13. That part of the article really got to me because I feel that it was wrong the way they treated that little girl the reason I said that is because I don't ever think that it is okay for anyone to be force into a marriage at a young age.
This article has really left me with some unanswered questions such as, where is the little girl that was forced into a marriage? How is she living up to now? What are the people in Afghan living without educations ? How did the women rights turned out? Who family that were killed during childbirth? How did the girls that tried to go to class but was poured acids on turned out such as what happened to them? I hope that my questions can be answer in the near questions.

New Force Of America
In The New Face of America Veronica Majerol spoke that there will be more minorities being born in the United States. she also tells about the way she explores how things will change because more minorities are being born.
This article includes facts and quotes about this topic such as Senior demographer, William H. Frey tells about the changes as a "transformation from mostly white... culture to the more globalized multiethnic country that we are becoming," there was a interesting fact that stood out to me such as in the last three decades, immigration to the United States has been highest from countries like Mexico, China, India, and the Philippines, as a result of the 1965 immigration act.I think that this is really a serious shift that is towards the United States and it feel like this is a critical time for them, I also feel that this change will probably affect us in the near future but I also feel and believe that in the future Hispanic’s minority will be greater then our generations.
This article really opened my eyes because I really learned some new stuffs because I was really surprised to see the real percentages compared to the ones that were giving to me in class, I kinda believe that the percentages that my teachers give me was the right one and I also believed that their no others results nor percentages that will be giving.
I still have some unanswered questions such as Will Hispanics take over? will this change affect the other cultures?
Civil War In Syria Raises !
In the article "Civil War in Syria Raises Questions About When To Intervene" spoke about Refuge camps in boarding countries in Mafraq Jordan,This article also talks about how there are only temporary solution for refugees, but the international community is unsure of what to do next.
In the article Civil War In Syria Raises stated some important fact such as "A lot of people are trying to figure out what could be an effective intervention that wouldn't cause more death and suffering", said U.S Secretary of State Hilary Clinton in May.
There was also an important fact that caught my attention such as " 2.5 million people have been affected by the crisis many of them in need of food, medical and shelter".The reason I choose those quotes are because they stood out to me , I said that is because they had some interesting facts and I felt that it was important for me to point out.
I feel like this topic was very important for them to point out because not that many people read the news paper nor watch the news so when I got the chance to read this news article I was able to see that their are more important things to worry about then just myself when others are struggling, such as not eating nor have food to eat.
This article really made me realize that their are more important things in the world to be worry about then just little stuffs as not doing my hair or going out and many more.

Lance Armstrong
The article Lance Armstrong spoke about people opinions and whether they should give him a second chance.
In the article Frida Ghitis feels that he might have a chance to redeem himself, she said,"Armstrong's achievements recovering from cancer and then braking records in the cycling world which made him a source of inspiration an icon of hope.
In the article, Jeff Pearlman says he's almost 42, forget about it, he also said, "No. Lance Armstrong racing again is not truly an option anyway he's almost 42."
In the article , Kevin Powell believe we all have our flaws he said, "I see Lance Armstrong story as a tragedy and an opportunity. It's a tragedy because he lied for so long to too many people. I feel that lying is not the way to any success if you asked me, especially if you really have people looking up to you and calling you their role model and a serious hero."
I think that they should give Lance Armstrong another chance because I feel that everyone need a second chance and I feel that people are taking his matter too far, I feel like they should stop acting like they never cheated in their life and that they need to stop looking at him like hes the only one who cheated on something by the way how he also had some some people who take him as a role model.
This article has left me with some unanswered question like:
I want to know why people act like they don't cheat?
why are they looking at him like he is a bad person?
why do people feel like they are better then him?
why are people judging him.?
