**RCMP CHARGES TWO PEOPLE FOLLOWING INJURIES TO 18-MONTH OLD CHILD**
- It affects the parents, Arthur Frank and Janice Lee Campbell and also the baby. - The parents got charged last December 9, 2010. - This happened in Fort Qu'Appelle, SK, Canada. [|Map!] - I chose this article because I personally think it's disturbing how they can't take care of their baby. It takes really responsible people to take care of a new born child and after all they chose to procreate, so what's the point if they're not going to cherish or love their baby the way he or she is supposed to be loved? And I think it deals with sociology and political science. [|Article] great 7/7

******iPads FOR ORANGUTANS-- PROGRAM WOULD LET APES SKYPE OTHER ZOOS**
- This article is about orangutans at the Toronto Zoo who skypes with apes in other zoos. It affects the curators of primates and small mammals in zoo, zookepers and also gorilla keepers. It was posted on February 29, 2012. The animals are from Milwaukee County Zoo and the Toronto Zoo. Milwaukee County Zoo - [|Map!] Toronto Zoo - [|Map!] We chose this article because we think that it is very controversial, funny and interesting that orangutans and other kinds of monkeys are getting smarter. It is very peculiar that they are being taught how to use a very modern gadget and actually learning to communicate with others. We think that it deals with psychology and anthropology because it deals with the brain capacity of monkeys and the evolution. [|Article!]

**IS MEXICO WINNING THE DRUG WAR?**

- This article is about drug killing in Mexico over the past two years. - Robert Bonner - a former U.S. drug enforcement official and he's also served as a commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection. - President Felipe Calder ó n - current president of Mexico. - Marisol Garcia - 20 year old woman, police chief - [|Video] - Drug users all over the world - We think that the corridor of the drug trafficking in Mexico is probably between Tijuana, Mexico ([|Map]) and San Diego, CA, United States ([|Map]). We chose this article because we think that it perfectly meets the things we have to consider doing this current event (It has to be international and something to do with economics, political science or history). I also want people to be aware that drug killing is spreading and might also happen somewhere around the world. We think that it deals with political science and economics. Political science because we all know that taking drugs is against the law and the drug trafficking/killing represents the state and government that Mexico has. Economics because this article talks about production and distribution of drugs to other places even though its illegal. Source - [|Article] 7/7

- We picked this article because we thought that it was very intriguing that a person can survive without eating for twenty days and still be alive. The social science that this deals with is Sociology because as you can see in the newspaper or on the telivision, a lot of people are dying because of hunger. ====== - I think a way to make a difference to this situation is to help people and build more soup kitchens and public places where they can eat since most people these days don't have the money to buy food.

POPE BREAKS SILENCE OVER 'VATILEAKS' SCANDAL/ VATICAN SCANDALS LIFT LID ON SECRET POWER STRUGGLE
What? - It is about the Pope's butler leaking confidential papers from the papal apartment, and it is also about how it affects who becomes the next pope. Who? Pope Benedict XVI Paolo Gabriele- his trusted butler Gianluigi Nuzzi- Italian journalist who revealed letters from a former top Vatican administrator When? May 30, 2012 Where? Vatican City Apartment, Italy [|Map!] Why? We chose this article because we think it is very interesting that the Pope can also be included in a scandal like this. We were also appalled that the Pope's worker that he trusts would leak very confidential papers. I think this has to do with Sociology--- because it affects who will be the next pope.
