World News Impressions

     Today, I learned about many things that have been happening around the world recently. Some of the things that have been happening would be the Baltimore Riots in the U.S., and the Nepal Earthquake in Nepal. Those are the topics that popped up the most during the gallery walk that we did today.

     In Baltimore, there was a man arrested, who later died in the back of a cop car when his neck snapped. May civilians say that cops are to blame, and are starting to fight against the authorities in Baltimore. Civilians say that cops are really bad people, and shouldn't be the people with guns and handcuffs.

     I think that people shouldn't be reacting like this because, it could have been suicide. There is no evidence on what had happened. The person probably did something bad in the firs place, there is a reason why he got arrested, maybe he killed someone, got caught, and decided he doesn't want to live in jail. There is no reason why people should be rioting with no evidence of what that person did.

     The Nepal Earthquake was pretty serious too. With 7.8 magnitude, and over 7,500 people dying. This was not a good scene. People started throwing bodies into rivers because they were literally surrounded by bodies. There are six-teen different countries that are chipping in to help with aid, and that are sending workers to help trapped.

     I think the Nepal Earthquake is pretty depressing. There was a story of how someone's daughter went to go get a drink of water, and a roof ends up on her head! Luckily she survived, and many others have survived, but there were 7,500 deaths. I am happy though because, that these people are receiving aid from other countries, and it's not just one. Six-teen countries helping one country recover is just amazing. Seeing all of these kind people being generous and lending one country in current need aid and workers.
