Identify something from the news video that you didn’t know before or that you found interesting (work to be original here; do not echo previous posts).
What was new about this information (what did you think before) or what made it interesting?
How does this new or interesting information affect your life (directly or indirectly)–remember we live in a global society?
Explain what you think or how you feel about this potential effect.
Finally, reflect on the posts of two other students by replying to their posts.
As always, cite all the information you use from an outside source (whether a direct quote or not). Put direct quotes from outside sources into quotation marks. Check your posts for spelling and grammar errors
