 * CATEGORY**: Universal Truths INTERNATIONAL
 * PRECIS**:** In this compassionate article Ann Furedi claims that through creating abortion clinics in Britain, the BPAS is gives women the right to make their own decision concerning the life inside of their own body. **
 * PERSONAL COMMENTARY**: I always tend to forget that some of America’s most pivotal controversies are also controversies that are worldwide, such as abortion. I think that it is very interesting to see how Britain is handling this issue


 * NATIONAL**
 * CITATION: ** Lane, Matthhew. "Opinion: Why a different voting system might be better – Light Years - CNN.com Blogs." //Light Years - CNN.com Blogs//. CNN, 16 Mar. 2012. Web. 21 Mar. 2012. .
 * CATEGORY: ****Government NATIONAL **
 * PRECIS: ****In this informative article Matthew Lane implies through the tactic of comparing different systems of government voting that the current voting system could be improved by changing the method in which American people’s votes are tallied. **
 * PERSONAL COMMENTARY: ****I think it is very interesting how the author of this article took the time to research the stability and dependency of our current voting system. I think America needs to be aware of where and how much our votes are taken into accountability in the final outcomes of political races. **

 * CITING:** Chasdi, Richard J., and The Opinions Expressed in This Commentary Are Solely Those of Richard Chasdi. "How Nations Risk Nuclear Terrorism - CNN.com." //CNN//. Cable News Network, 01 Jan. 1970. Web. 29 Mar. 2012. .
 * CATEGORY:** Government
 * PRECIS:****In this thought provoking article Richard J. Chasidy convinces his audience that a nuclear war can be prevented in many different ways such as the elimination proxies and third parties. **
 * PERSONAL COMMENTARY:** I think it is very interesting to read about what counties have access to nuclear attack weapons. I think sometimes I forget that other countries also have access to powerful ways of hurting us.

 * CITING:** Frum, David, and The Opinions Expressed in This Commentary Are Solely Those of David Frum. "A National ID Card That Protects Voting Rights - CNN.com." //CNN//. Cable News Network, 01 Jan. 1970. Web. 29 Mar. 2012. .
 * CATEGORY:** Government
 * PRECIS:****In this convincing article David Frum suggests that another use of citizen identification would be more effective in letting American citizens vote, apply for jobs, and purchase alcohol. **
 * PERSONAL COMMENTARY:** I think it is necessary to change the way American handles the identification system. Right now it appears to be very easy for someone to create a very real looking fade I.D. We need to create a more reliant form of identification.


 * National**
 * CITING:** Touré. "Why Obama Will Never Call Out Racism." //TIME.com//. TIME Magazine, 29 Mar. 2012. Web. 29 Mar. 2012. .
 * CATEGORY:** Government
 * PRECIS:****In this compelling article Touré criticizes Obama for lack of empathy for African Americans due to the fear that he may be seen as portraying racial favor. **
 * PERSONAL COMMENTARY:** I sometimes feel bad that presidents have to be so careful with every word they say. Obama should be able to support his ethnic heritage without being viewed as a raciest.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">PRECIS: ****<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">In this humorous article, Timothy Hanley claims by using statistics that Republican candidate Mitt Romney needs to focus less on addressing the economical issues and more on the health care issues in order to win the more of the female vote, which he needs to beat Obama. **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">PERSONAL COMMENTARY: ****<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">I found this article humorous. Women look for that compassionate leader and it is very obvious that Romney needs to work on his feministic side in order to get more votes from the American females. **

 * <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">PERSONAL COMMENTARY: ****<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">I thought this article was very creepy. The way the author had a perfect timeline of events mapped out that could predict the events after the attack perfectly. This article really caused me to think about the huge possibility that we may be facing another war in the near future. **

 * <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">PRECIS: ****<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">In this thought provoking article Andrew Keen implies that the government systems around the world may be overstepping their bounds when it comes to being a “big brother” and tapping into people’s personal information such as skype and phone calls all in the name of “protecting the country”. **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">PERSONAL COMMENTARY: ****<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">I think it is very important that the government do whatever they need to do to insure safety for the country even if that means tapping into people’s personal calls. **

 * <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">PRECIS: ****<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">In this emotional article Paul Conroy implies that the people who are desperately trying to help the deadly situation in Syria, are being overlooked and forgotten by the media who would rather spend time focusing on the savageness of the country. **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">PERSONAL COMMENTARY: ****<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">I think too often, the heroes go overlooked because their loss of life trying to save others is not as much of a dramatic story to the media. However, word needs to get out there about the efforts to save Syria so that more people can help. **

 * <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">PERSONAL COMMENTARY: ****<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">I think the article was very interesting. People having the idea that they can do nothing and achieve wealth are very dangerous. The concept if laziness becomes very obvious during high lottery seasons. **
