Two summers ago, I met this guy.  He was cute and sweet.  He was two years younger than I was, which explained why I had never seen him around school.

At the very beginning of the semester, the major part of my posts was about Egypt, because there were a lot of controversial issues happening there. Most of my posts described the explicit and unacceptable violence and corruption growing in Egypt since the reign of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Despite many attempts to better privacy around the world, It is still something that is being overlooked by many and something needs to be done about it. Privacy is a right that concerns everyone and that should be followed. Technology is the main cause for what privacy is facing in this day and age.

Through the semester, I have been working on news summary related to the issue of LGBT in the world. I was shocked to see that so many urbanized countries still legalize homophobic laws such as in Ukraine where the government considered legalizing a law banning the talk of homosexuality in the Media.

Violence has always been part of societies. As far as we can remember, violent incidents sometimes occur and it is difficult to prevent them. In today’s society, crimes are more violent and difficult to control because of the number of weapons and dangerous arms available.

Since I did my super post on the euro crisis, I have been wondering why is the economic crisis touching them so hard and for so long, without any great improvement for some countries. Is it because there is a similar currency; is the euro good, or bad for Europe? In this essay I will be arguing why similar currencies are good or bad.

This semester, my news summaries began with a great concentration on issues of crime and law. It was an interesting and intriguing topic, especially due to the immense attention the United States was receiving in the media about deadly shootings in their country. The first article summarized talked about how the strong United States was losing its’ power due to the unregulated gun control.

From the beginning, I was always summarizing and analysing articles that treated health; mental health, physical health, or physical activities. Therefore, when the time came to do a “Super post”, I knew right away that I would do it about health issues. I called my Super post “Pounds, Kilograms, and Calories”, and discussed how eating was imperative to a good health.
