Life in Los Angeles in 1878

In today's class I read a newspaper from 1878 published by the Los Angeles Herald. I learned that in many ways that newspaper of today are much the same, in topics. The newspaper talked about the local crimes that were going on in Los Angeles and also any other incidents in the town. I learned that after the Civil War the republican party was the most popular. Also I learned that Los Angeles went through depression for years. The newspaper talked about local money of businesses as well.The murdering of a colored man was published as if it was right thing to do.

ISIS sex camps

I learned about the ISIS slave camps. I learned that young females of religion minorities were kidnapped and kept in a ISIS warehouse and sexually abused daily. These females lost everything in their lives; families, homes, and self confidence. They were punished everyday for being females of their religion. I have gained a better understanding on how some countries' citizens have very weak protection. This research caused me to wonder what is Iraq doing to stop ISIS. This situation matters because young girls and women are being taken away from there homes and raped everyday til they're seen as useless.
