Ahmad Mohammed was arrested for making a home made clock. His teacher had suspicions because of his race so he called the authorities. This is important because although racism ended long ago it still continues to this day. As a student there is a possibility I may still face racism in the upcoming years to come. My question is why do people still see others as a threat based on their religion?

Pewdiepie Has The Largest YouTube Channel In The World

Pewdiepie, a Swedish YouTuber, has become the most famous on this website beating big names like Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, etc.... He has reached a YouTube high of 32 million subs. It is said from Wall Street Journal that he makes roughly around 4 million a year but that may have changed due to him gaining many subscribers. I chose this article because I was watching TMZ and they brought up that Pewdiepie has become the most popular youtuber beating Rihanna, which I found amusing. As a consumer I'm affected by this because I sometimes like to watch his videos and because he has become so popular he will probably continue to make entertaining videos that I look forward to watch.  My only question is that what will he do to maintain the most viewed YouTuber because it's easy to make videos but it's hard to get the attention out of each and everyone of his subscribers. http://www.kpopstarz.com/articles/150006/20141211/pewdiepie-on-youtube.htm

The article I read was about how Donald Trump is beginning to become very popular and recently has been getting higher percentages in recent polls. Trump has turned running for president into a television show and is basically searching for attention. With all the attention he's recently been receiving he has a high chance at being elected president. I chose this article because of the title "Media shift: Why Trump has gone from unthinkable to unavoidable". On most social media you see much of Trump but not much of any other candidate. He has gotten so much attention because of the stunts he's pulled in the past. Some are actually believing what he's saying and others see this as a joke. As a student I think it will affect me because so far I have read nothing about trump doing anything for the school system such as free education, or cheaper tuition etc.. I want to know why people are voting for someone who is going to treat presidency as a joke. We need a president that we can see a future with and someone who promises to do what's best for all the people.
