In the article "Cyber war" by Patricia Smith she explains that the U.S has been launching cyber attacks on other countries. Also cyber warfare is a new way to harm enemies, but not physically through computer files that are important to their government. Also people may begin to attack the U.S at the pentagon, some people already believe China has.

This article includes quotes from high up government personnel. Something that is shocking is that people from another country could control our biggest programs from across the world. This is shocking because it can happen anytime if we're not careful all the time.

I think cyber warfare will be a thing that only gets worse with time. The more technology advances the more damage people can do with it, soon they may be able to blow up important computers in the country's top building. When finding these things out what came to mind is that why won't they just write it down and put fake info in the computers, which will make the enemy fail. With this plan I think we would be on top and invulnerable to these attacks.

This article raises lots of questions for me. One question is why do they keep putting important info in computers if they know it's a chance their files may be stolen. Also who first started this type of warfare and what did they take? I could find this out by searching it or asking people with knowledge of the topic.

In the article "Are you being Tracked?" by Patricia Smith, she brings to light and tells us that cops are beginning to track citizens through their cell phones with GPS without court permission. It may be accepted by the court or may be disproved and a law may be made. It's some advantages and some disadvantages.

In this article the type of details that are used are quotes from lieutenants and criminal analysts. Something that is shocking is that a girl was rescued by using the GPS. It is shocking because she could have been dead and still lost if it was not for the phone.

I think the tracking should be allowed because it can help out in a difficult situation like being kidnapped. It may invade citizen's personal privacy, but in the end they are only doing it to keep us safe and protect us from the many dangers of the world. Before reading this article I knew that they were listening and watching us but I never knew they didn't have permission, which is shocking because I thought the government always followed the rules.

This article made me think about a plethora of things. Something that I thought about is have I ever been tracked and/or listened to through phone calls. The scary thing is that I can't even figure out if I am being listened to or not. Also how do they find out the person's information who their tracking, which seems suspicious to me.

In the article "The new face of America" by Veronica Majerol she explores that minorities are slowly but surely becoming the majority in the U.S. America is soon to be home to minorities that outweigh the majorities.

In this article it includes quotes from kids who are apart of the minority group. Also a quote from William H. Frey who says this is an important tipping point. Something that surprises me is that in 2050 it's projected that the White group will not be a majority although they will be just under it. It's shocking and surprising because for so long white people were a majority and soon they won't, which shows that America is changing and becoming more accepting.

I think with all of the changes happening now that the world is in a way becoming better and accepting. I think it will make the U.S better and have more power around the world.

This article makes me think about many things. One of the things I think about is are Americans going to and living in other countries like people in America are. I could find this by looking up the population and consensus of other countries and seeing if it is a lot of Americans in other countries.
