Article of the Week (AoW) Impressions 5/5/15

AoW Impressions


        This week there were many similar and different articles among the class. There were several articles about the Baltimore Riots and the Nepal Earthquake. With that many articles on the same topic you would assume you could see different and maybe updated information. That's something I like about it, but you could get wrong information or outdated information, so you have to be careful. These weren't the only topics, there were also topics ranging from space to technology to health giving opportunities to learn more about the world and current event.

       Information on the Nepal Earthquake was not matching up. They all had different death counts in the articles. One said 4,000 death, another said 3,000, and there was also 5,800. It makes you wonder when those articles were made. Articles published today say over 7,500 deaths, so that shows how information can change. Although that might not always be the case. With the Baltimore Riot the information I found was the same. For instance, things getting set on fire and Freddie Gray's death causing this. This makes me wonder why some events have different information on different days and other have the same.

        The article I found the most interesting was the article about a guy stopping poachers from hunting gorillas. I found the story unique and cool. They guy gave his money to the poachers for farming to get food and money. This was the alternative for hunting gorillas in Africa. Now they are successful in the farming life. It's amazing how one guy saved many gorillas lives.
