Media Assessment of Issue

2.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/02/world/asia/hong-kong-protests.html?rref=collection%2Ftimestopic%2FPolice%20Brutality%20and%20Misconduct&action=click&contentCollection=timestopics®ion=stream&module=stream_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=1&pgtype=collection

SACAP:

S: In Hong Kong, riot police officers filled the subway stations and areas near schools due to vandalism and violence.

A: Austin Ramzy from the NY Times

C: People in Hong Kong have defied a police ban, therefore they have been marching through the streets protesting. But the difference is this protesting is very dangerous and some have taken it as far as to say it is an “act of terror.”

A: This is intended for people with a slightly left or liberal look on reading about the controversy in Hong Kong.

P: The bias is slightly shifted to the left and the author used very strong adjectives when describing what the police officers were making people do.

Sig: The meaning of the article is to spread attention to the riots and “terror” taking place in Hong Kong and how Hong Kong is “at the brink of malfunctioning.”

I personally do not agree with a lot of the article because it doesn’t show the hatred the police have to deal with due to riots like these. They are seen as a predator of the people and many disrespect their authority.

https://www.npr.org/2018/11/13/667252788/police-fatally-shoot-black-security-guard-who-detained-suspected-shooter

S: Police Shooting of a security guard

A: Emily Sullivan from NPR

C: Account of accidental police shooting of security officer who was detaining a suspect of alleged crime.

A: Anyone interested in facts about police shootings, including eyewitness accounts that seem to contradict police statements.

P: Article is very objective and I didn’t notice any bias. Author didn’t express any opinions.

Sig: The meaning is to understand how police officers act in chaotic times and show the importance of being a trained professional, not just coming to conclusions and pulling the trigger.

I enjoyed the article because there was no biased so I feel as though I got a clear and fair understanding of what happened in the case.

https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/ron-hosko-the-truth-about-fatal-shootings-by-police

S: Fox News is talking about how the Washington Post is unfairly targeting police officers for killing certain groups of people.

A: Ron Hosko, Fox News

C: Showing biased by articles posted by the Washington Post.

A: Audience is for a far right winged American person. 

P:The author Ron Hosko shows a extreme biased towards the right side and discredits all the actions and opinions of people from the left side. 

Sig: To show the “truth” about fatal shootings done by police and to defend law enforcement officers.

I agree with the article but I do believe that it is a little bit to biased and doesn’t even consider anything from the left side.

3.The similarities is that they all are about police brutality, but the differences are that they all look at the brutality in a different way.  The left sided article by the NY Times focused on how police officers unfairly target certain groups. The NPR article doesn’t take either side and instead relied on eyewitness accounts to tell the stories. Lastly the Fox News article targeted the people and left sided press saying the truth about how police officers do not target any specific groups.

4. I identify with the Fox News source the most because I truly believe that police officers do not target any specific groups and instead the attempt to do their best by protecting not only themselves but the rest of society also. We need to pay more respect to these individuals who put their lives on the line daily.

Executive Action Assessment of Issue

I have checked out the White House website and I was unable to find anything that was relevant to my issue. So I searched up President Trumps views on Gun control. He is a strong believer within the second Amendment. He thinks that there should be a ban on assault rifles and longer background checks. I agree with him that their should be longer background checks.  Checking for criminal records and seeing if the person has had any red flags on his record, is very important. I am still up in the air about the ban on assault rifles. On one side I don't see the need to own a fully auto-matic gun if you are not serving in the military, but if you are very passionate about guns and want to have that sort of weapon within your home then it is your right to own it. The Department that closely relates to my issue would be the department of justice. The Mission of the Department of Justice would be to defend the interests of of the United States, and to ensure fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans. Yes this  relates to my issue because it deals with the rights of the people, (Second Amendment) and makes sure that the court system will give people fair and just trials. I think the program that would best suit my issue when it comes to Gun Control would be the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. What this program does, is it ensure criminal investigations, and regulates the Firearm and Explosive Industries. An over view some of the websites that included Presidents Trumps view on Gun Control, would be that he is a strong believer within the Second Amendment, and believes that guns do ensure safety for the American People. Within the Presidents Website however I was unable to see anything that dealt with the Civil Rights pertaining to gun control. Looking at the diagrams that were handed out in class as well as on line research it appears that President Trump is cutting from the Department of Justice. After reviewing some of the duties of this department it appears that I am not sure that cutting from the budget would be a good idea. This department deals with the justice system within the united states, which is very important. 

S: The Article that I have chosen deals with the mental health issue behind gun control. And ways of deals with it within your family. 

A: The author of the Article is Michael O. Schroeder 

C: The article talks about how people should not only inform your children about gun control but also talking to your doctor about it. Seeing if you are mentally stable to own a firearm. Also talking to your kids about gun safety, and putting your firearms out of reach of kids or anyone who is unsuitable to have a gun in their hands. 

A: The intended audience for this article is anyone who has purchased a firearm. People should at least look at this article and take one thing out of it and apply it to themselves. People who have kids, or a family. 

P:The perspective of the Article seems to be down the middle of the road. It just informs the people that they should take into consideration of asking your doctor for any sort of clearance. informing your kids or family about guns and how to use them safely and properly. As well as keeping your guns out of reach of children that are much to young to be holding a firearm. 

S: I think that the mental state of the person purchasing a firearm is going to be a great concern for the American people. Figuring out weather the individual is capable of purchasing let alone owning a firearm. This issue will be brought up more and more for years to come. But I do agree with the article itself.

» the best of it

It’s meant to be their Christmas, even if it is crowded and two days late and everyone’s exhausted and excited and irritable all at once. The plate in front of him is sparse compared to Christmas dinner past, and it’s certainly not his mother’s cooking. He misses her cooking. But he is, surprisingly, starving, after hours of non-stop rehearsal and it’s nice to have a break. It seems they’ve tried to make it festive, and even the coaches have dialed back on monitoring their plates (which doesn’t make much of a difference for Ricky because he always subconsciously monitors his own plates).

He occasionally joins in on the conversations around him, but mostly he stays lost in his own thoughts, all too aware of the company’s CEO sitting not a hundred feet away. He tries his best not to stare, not to spend his whole holiday meal trying to figure out what’s going on in the elusive executive’s head, but he still can’t help but steal a glance every now and again. He’s still more than intimidated by that stony expression, even when it hints at returning an almost imperceptible smile to boisterous staff.

Ricky doesn’t even notice the parallel, doesn’t neutrally self-reflect enough to notice the similarities between the pair of them, the way they hide everything behind a well-rehearsed exterior. Ricky feels like an ant, small and insignificant, smaller and more insignificant than usual even just being in the same room as the CEO. He wonders if Hyun Bin even remembers him from the MGAs or if he really has faded into absolute obscurity.

For a split second it looks like the executive’s gaze might pass over (and right through, no doubt) him, and Ricky has a fleeting moment of panic, immediately switching his own gaze to the untouched piece of sponge cake on his plate and finding himself contemplating if he even has the appetite for it. He debates with himself over it, over how it’ll probably look strange if a boy his age doesn’t touch cake when its within his reach, focuses on that instead of the fact that he very nearly made unwarranted eye contact with the most important man in this building.

He glances up again, but this time around the table he’s at. Sunny and Min and Jaebum were chatting animatedly, like a scene on a Christmas card, and he can’t help but feel a little envious. He hasn’t felt the urge to smile like that in ages. Hyuna’s attacking her own plate of food with unbridled gumption, which prompts him to tentatively carve the corner of his cake slice off with his fork, slipping the small bite in his mouth and trying to swallow back the guilt the taste of sugar on his tongue brings forward. Huidong, seated next to him, catches his gaze, gives him a curious look before Ricky responds with a simple shake of his head. I’m fine, it says.

He’s not. Not really. Because for all he knows, this marks the beginning of his last two weeks at Nova, and the thought makes an appetite fleeting at best. But he tries another bite of cake nonetheless, if just to make sure no one worries about him.

If they are his last two weeks here, at the place that’s been his home for two years, then he has to make the best of it.
