CNN " Mexican mayor gunned down inside own office"

 In the short article of "Mexican mayor gunned down inside own office" by, CNN was about four men just walking into the office and assonating the mayor of El Naranjo, Mexico. It made me think of what the country would be like if in the United State's the government just let something like this happen so easily. It’s kind of scary to think about the government just letting people walk in the government offices with no security. The article also mentioned that seven mayors in Mexico have been assonated in 2010. What sort of country would we be living in if seven of our mayors were assonated in our largest cities in one year? The security situation in Mexico it truly a global problem, and will continue to spill over our borders unless our government takes aggressive action to help the Mexican government stop it. Mexico keeps saying that they will keep working to improve their security systems, but from what I have seen there hasn't been any changes in the past year. I do believe that, with the proper help Mexico can solve this problem and other countries can see what they have done and try to do the same.

Michael Wesch, "A Vision Of Students Today."

When I saw this video it made me think the notes that we take today used to be one of the only ways to learn and now in our generation we use technology for pretty much everything for learning. When all of the students showed their signs, the one that surprised me the most was the one that said on average the total number of hours we spend doing things during the day adds up to 26.5 hours. After I saw this statement I thought how all of these things in such a long amount of time. A statement that was said that happens very commonly is that people spend 100s of dollars for text books for collage and never even open them. So I don't understand why collage students have to buy text books if they may never open them. So in addition to the hundreds of dollars spent on books there are also tons of other payments for collage each year. Which could possibly end up with debt over $20,000 after collage? That’s crazy; people shouldn't have a lot debt for going to college. So is the world changing for the better or for the worse?
