                Russia, the enemy of the majority of countries in the world. President Vladimir Putin has transformed Russia from a normal growing country into a warship that fires at its surrounding countries. First, it wanted to dominate all of Ukraine and make it part of Russia, and now it threatens to shoot down Denmark ships.

                Denmark is trying its best to join the NATO shield. In August of 2014, officials said that Denmark “would contribute radar capacity on some of its warships to the missile shield, which the Western alliance says is designed to protect members from missile launches from countries like Iran” (Jensen). Moscow does not agree with this system. The Russian ambassador to Denmark, Mikhail Vanin spoke on behalf all of Russia. During his speech, he talked about how Denmark joining NATO would make Denmark targets for Russian missiles.

                Russia thought it was speaking on behalf of NATO, but they were wrong. A NATO spokeswoman, Oana Lungescu, called Denmark a “staunch” member of NATO, a loyal one. NATO stands behind Denmark, and ensure that no harm will be caused to Russia if Denmark joins.

                The tensions between Russia and the West have tremendously increased. “NATO has recorded increased activity by the Russian navy and air force in the Nordic region” (Jensen). Will they attack? Most probably not, since it would make Russia NATO’s target, a group which the United States and many other powerful countries are in. It is extremely important to know the current situation in Europe. What is today a threat can turn into a war tomorrow.

Stereotypical Roles

    Gender roles stating what each person’s job is in the family has been set for a long time. Although, as time has progressed, the need for more money has gradually changed the set gender roles. The man of the house would work in order to earn money which would be used for expenses such as food, rent, clothing and other so on. They would also protect the family, and go around the house fixing what is broken and relaxing, to be able to work the next day. A typical woman’s role is to stay home and take care of the remaining things. They would not have a job, and stay home. Cleaning, cooking, taking care of the kids, and making the husband comfortable were all part of the women’s duties. Although, times have changed. Even though women have started working like men, they still do not receive the same opportunities. Although, it is not because they do not have rights in order to work important jobs and receive higher wages. It is because they are not physically and mentally capable of performing the same way as a man. The majority of females cannot handle tools and equipment, therefore losing the opportunity of getting jobs in one branch. Women’s emotions are another reason why they have less of an opportunity getting a job than males. People cannot depend on a woman’s emotions to decide whether the city where a notorious ISIS member is hiding should be bombed or not. A man will look at the facts, the pros and cons of what would happen as a result, and commence with their plan. Gender roles have changed from what they were back then, and the stereotypes have changed. Currently, a man and a woman are both required to work in a family in order to be able to take care of all the expenses.

                Unfortunately, yet another shooting occurred. It is even more unfortunate that the shooter was a white police officer, while the victim was another African American. Tony Robinson, a 19 year old young man, died after being shot by an officer. This occurrence resulted in tons of protests. Many African American protesters spent their day chanting “Black Lives Matter.” Their purpose was to get the Police Department to defend African American rights. Tony Robinson assaulted Officer Matt Kenny, and that is the reason why he got shot. Although he assaulted a police officer, there was no real reason why he got shot. He was unarmed, and was posing no threat to officers. After all, police officers have guns and Tasers, so there should be no real reason why they should be afraid, or feel threatened from the victim, especially when they are unarmed. This case is being taken extremely seriously and carefully, especially since there have been several high profile deaths of African Americans killed by police officers in the recent months. Another example is the video of Eric Garner repeatedly saying, “I can’t breathe” when put into a chokehold position. At first, it was believable that these continuous killings of innocent African Americans was simply a coincidence, but after all these incidents, that lie holds no more weight. Tony Robinson was a 2014 graduate of Sun Prairie High School, and he was well liked by the school staff and students. A neighbor, Olga Ennis, stated that “He wouldn’t hurt a fly.”
