New York Times: Tuesday, October 18, 2011

Reading articles about unemployment puts me in a terrible mood.  It's just another reminder that finding a job after college isn't going to be easy at all.  I thought that the pictures for the story really captured the mood of the story too.  This story is definitely one of my favorites.

I think it's great that there are recent developments in the knowledge of Down's syndrome, but for some reason this story miffed me.  It made it seem that a person with Down's syndrome life is less important than someone else's, as seen in the line that talks about women ending their pregnancy.  This is a very controversial topic that I'm not going to discuss on this site, but the story made me realize that you always have to be careful of what you write about and how you write it.
