@language_ap They treated the prisoners of war terribly, stating that it was for “security measures.” (baltimorechronicle.com/geneva_feb02.s…) (foreignpolicy.com/2010/08/11/oba…)

@language_ap (law.cornell.edu/wex/geneva_con….) The protocols that the United States refused to ratify deal with protecting the victims of war during conflicts, global and non global. Similarly, the United States refused to abide by common article 3 during its war with al Qaeda.

Here is your next article. Tweets are due by Monday at 8 AM. rasmussenreports.com/public_content…

@language_ap -the United States is the best country with no faults.

@language_ap In many of the world conflicts, we are portrayed as the paragons of virtue working to make the world a better place while that may not necessarily be the case. With patriotic education the youth would find no faults in what the government is doing since they would believe that-

@Evan_AP_Lang @language_ap I agree that the punishment doesn’t fit the crime and that there needs to be a better understanding of what mental illness is within the judicial system.

Second article requiring tweets. This issue arose about 5-6 years ago, but it is still very timely. The term "affluenza" can be incorporated into a lot of argumentative essays. Tweets are due by Thursday at 8 AM. Enjoy. hg.org/legal-articles…

@language_ap There is no way to rationalize the behaviour of the parents in this case. They are clearly unconditionally forgiving of their child, regardless of his actions. They are just as at fault as Ethan himself.

@language_ap Furthermore, just one year prior at the age of fifteen, he was cited with “minor in possession of alcohol” and “minor in consumption of alcohol” after being found with a naked, passed out 14-year-old girl.

@Evan_AP_Lang @language_ap I liked that you cited another source and agree that biometric data could help the TSA. With the ever changing facial recognition software there’s no limit to how helpful it could be.

First article for this year: foxnews.com/us/portland-fa… Tweets due by Monday at 8 AM.

@language_ap The city should work to better their facial recognition to correctly profile someone, regardless of race, gender, or age. Not only will this improve the way of life in Portland, but the trust in the police force as well.

@language_ap If Portland was a city of saints and crime never occurred, perhaps facial recognition wouldn’t be needed. While there are problems with facial recognition that are rightly justified, getting rid of the system all together won’t help.
