Current Event Essay

Just currently in China, 3 men are being prosecuted over killing a giant panda and selling its meat. As told on CNN News, Pandas are endangered, but many people see these creatures to be national treasure. According to the men, they had just been looking for the predator that killed their sheep. They explained to the reporters that they saw a large animal and killed it, there was a tree in the way and didn’t know it was a panda until after they had shot it. The police had searched the brothers house and had found parts of a skull and other things inside the home. I personally think this event effects the world because a bear is an endangered species and has no right to be killed, this also may effect people because they respect their prey and know that this is sad and not the right thing to do. This event effects me because personally I think they probably knew it was a panda and shot it on purpose, when it could have been any other animal that killed their sheep. This whole situation is in the wrong.

As told in the CNN News article, “It’s a clock, not s bomb.” and innocent freshman student has created a clock to impress his teacher. He takes the clock to school and shows her it. The teacher got offended by it and  the school called the police and had him arrested. CNN News reporters say that the police told he was arrested for a crime of a hoax bomb. The 14 year old had later told WFAA that he was confused and upset about the situation that had taken place. He said that he had meant to impress her not to threaten her in any way. I think this has an effect on the world because it is an innocent 14 year old getting arrested for something that he didn’t need to be. This also has an effect on me because its very upsetting, and was not the right thing to do!

Just recently, a mother has drowned her 2 twins in a bathtub on purpose. As USA Today News has reported in the article “Arizona mom says she drowned twin boys in bathtub.” Once the cops had arrived at the home the kids were sitting on the bed unresponsive.  The mother had said she intionally drowned her twin boys and was trying to drown a 3rdbut was stopped by other family members. The father of the boys said that the mother had been suffering from depression and anixety, but had never been violent. This event effect the world because it is not leading in example. It is showing the wrong thing to do instead of the right thing to do. This event also effects me because it is very sad. I personally think that this is not okay to do because you are killing people.
