Your pick of this week's news week 11 (responses) Assignment
Your pick of this week's news week 11 (responses) - Assignment Example China, according to US intelligence, appears ready to launch a ââ¬Ëshort, sharpââ¬â¢ war with Japan,an allegation the Chinese vehemently deny. The US on its part vows to honor the defense treaties it has with Japan. While on the surface and in public the two nations appear to have a friendly relationship, what lies below all that seems more grotesque, and the two nations seem to be edging ever closer to a full scale conflict. The writer has also done a good job in showing the prelude to this conflict,which is one of mistrust between two of todayââ¬â¢s superpower nations. She has written about the events leading to this conflict. She has also, without bias, presented the cases that the two nations have in laying claim to the islands in question. In my opinion this is a top class news article, and the writer deserves a pat on the back. The article is titled "Rhode Island Settles Case on Jobs for the Disabled." It was written by Dan Barry and was published on April 8,2014 in The New York Time newspaper. The story looks at a landmark announcement by the department of Justice regarding employment for 3000-odd disabled people in Rhode Island. Prior to this agreement, it is estimated that ââ¬Å"450,000 people with intellectual and developmental disabilities while away their days in essentially cloistered environmentsâ⬠across the entire country. One of the disabled people interviewed expressed his discontentment with his job saying he ââ¬Å"did not like( the job) very muchâ⬠. The new agreement has lead to praise for Rhode Island for ââ¬Å"embracing the need for changeâ⬠. Under the new agreement, people with disabilities are allowed to ââ¬Å"obtain typical jobs within the community that pay at least the minimum wageâ⬠. In my opinion the article is true because one cannot doctor information about changes in the law. The writer also deserves commendation for highlighting such an important piece of legislation
