          In the article "Slaughter of the African Elephants" by Samantha Strndberg and Flona Maisela is about Elephants being killed so their tusk can be used to sell for different things. One other thing is the way the elephants are being killed.

          In a lot of countries in the far East demands have been rising for ivory trinkets which are made of elephants tusks. This elephants are being killed off to make ivory and will be soon pushed to extinction and they are needed for other things. They make trails that are used by other animals and spread large amount of seeds.

           What they are doing to this elephants should be said some thing about.  They are mistreating these animal and killing them off faster then it should be and they our doing this for money. .Elephant are important to their habitat they help us and other animals to live. All animal play a part in life to other animals and people these Elephants have a life and family to just as we do to. A baby elephants can know his or her dad or mom is gone. They not parents as much as a human needs theirs so why do this is what i ask.

          In the article "SISTER IN ARMS" by James Dao is about woman being allowed to be in combat in the military. This article talks mainly about why woman should and should not be allowed in the miliary.

          The miliary are now leting woman go into combat can woman handle this.some countires have already let woman into combat like Israel, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Denmark, and Germany. In Isarael they allowed this in 1973 and in 1995 allowed them to be fighter pilots. Australia woman were allowed to go into combat in 2011. In New Zealand the ban on woman was lifted in .2010. In Canada woman have been allowed since 1989. Since 1988 Denmark have allowed woman in the army. In 2001 Germany has let woman into their combat unit.

          Should woman be able to enter into combat. I think they should be able to go into combat the can do everything a man can. If woman want to go into combat they should be tested on the same thing the man are. When woman are tested their run time is slower and they have to do less pushup. I thinh if they are doing the same thing they should be treated equaly.The only thing they should have to do is make sure the woman are ready for combat they should all be treated the same woman should have to be able to hold their own weight.

           In the article "Cyberwar" by Patricia Smith is about a cyberwar between the U.S., China, and Iran.One cyber attack was on Saudi Aramco oil company valued about $7 trillion were the U.S. buys half of its oil for many reason oil is important to the U.S. .

          Many believe that the China's attack towards America was to find secrets of our government nt to do any real harm. The Iran plan was to harm, they are believe to be responsible for the cyberattack on Saudi Aramco oil company, in September they took offline some of America most important banks like Wells Fargo. America cyberattack Iran main nuclear enrichment plants. The plan was to slow down or stop the Iran nuclear weapon.

          Cyberwars is a betterway of fighting then just fight war. One thing that is bad about cyberwar is that they can hack secrets that only the goverment know, also can find weapon we are building and slow down our progress. The good thing is we can do the same and more. A cyberwar can hurt the U.S. a lot to, like it already did hack into our main banks and take money out and send it to their self. But I do think it is a good way to do war cyber
