In this cohesive article, by  Ilyse Hogue, she discusses that rich Romney need to understand what the middle/lower-class, financial-needed average Americans are going through in order to win the other half of the election by implying that Romney should know how to use his wealth to gain trusts from voters.
 * National **

I agree with the author. Romney is currently on the lead, because his voters are less religious and less financial troubled. If Romney only knows how to earn money and doesn't know how to spend it on helping poor Americans, he is not fitted to be president. Since he is rich, he may not know what the middle-class is going through right now.

I totally agree with the author. America needs to find better ways to lead the country away from recession. China is currently well-developed in its economy and trade. In order to catch up, America needs to focus on reforming better policies so that it can become the world's powerhouse again.

In this disturbing article, by Frida Ghitis, she informs about Tibetans struggling against China for autonomy by incorporating recent events of many Tibetan monks burning themselves alive to protest against China's policies.
 * International **

I just find out about this problem between China and Tibet. Tibetans are protesting the Chinese rule and oppression over Tibet, so they burn themselves in a sort of rebellion. This past year, about 30 monks already burn themselves to death. I think this is a serious issue. I don't understand why the monks would want to kill themselves just to protest and also as a sacrifice. This article is great to use to discuss about contemporary struggle for autonomy and fight for freedom.

In this phenomenal article, by Gene Seymour, he discusses about the success of the //Hunger Games// movie this past weekend and the failure of Disney's //Jimmy Carter// by comparing the two movies to explain the contrasting results.
 * National**

I read the Hunger Games three years ago and finally I saw the movie finally last weekend. I adored the series so I can understand other teenagers like me who are also eager and excited to watch the movie. Recently I read an article on yahoo about how the hype of the Hunger Games by the teenagers attracts older people, eg. parents. This shows how a hype or a trend starts which is a very good discussion to talk about. This article is also great to discuss about current sensation and teenager's interest.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I heard the new about the killing of Trayvon Martin because he is black. The event about whether Zimmerman is guilty is hard to debate. Sadly, racism will never stop. It is sad that there are still many innocent lives taken away because of their skin colors. The article is a good example to use to talk about modern time racism since this news is pretty big recently.
