CE 6.1

1. Why did members of the group ADAPT protest at the Texas State Capitol over the weekend? Page A1
They believe that people with disabilities don't have enough say in politics. 
2.  Why is it so important that the Austin milk bank get a new home? Page A1
They save people lives with that mil and need a more for more donations.
3. Why are dog owners unhappy about proposed changes at Auditorium Shores? Page B2
They wish to have their dogs off of their leashes more than the new designated areas allow.
4. What makes Pinterest popular? Page B5
People are able to browse products and then easily click the picture that leads to the website where they can buy said product.
5. What would you see if you went to the show "Sputnik"? Page D1
They used puppets to tell a story about the environment. 

A. Recently a ferry ran aground and sunk in South Korea. Many of the people on board who were killed were high school students on a field trip. As the investigation has continued a number of people have been arrested and will be charged with a crime. Among those are the captain of the ship who was reportedly one of the first off the ship and was on one of the few lifeboats that got away. The ship had been modified to carry more passengers and this may have contributed to its sinking (which was very quick, some reports say as fast as 10 minutes). It has spread to the government of South Korea and the Prime Minister of the country resigned over the weekend. What do you know and think about this event? AND (please don't forget this part) Who should be held accountable, the captain of the ship, the owners of the ship itself, the Prime Minister of the country (this would be like President Obama resigning over an airplane crash that killed 300 people because he withheld information about the crash for some reason)??? Why??


I knew some of the information above but not all. I definitely think that the captain should be held accountable for abandoning the ship. He left a lot of people to die when he should have stayed to help people get off safely. I also believe that the Prime Minister should have some kind of consequence for abandoning his country in a time of need. Both were very cowardly and should be punished.
