current events 5.2

1.  It has been revealed that Haruka Weiser was sexually assaulted and strangled. The sources are police officials and it was unnamed because they weren't authorized. I think they shared the information because the police thought that the public should know. This story is significant because of the proximity.

2. Hired.com found that 69% of the time, males receive more money than women at the same tech company. Hired.com gives people an opportunity to get an insider view of the tech industry online while seeking jobs, as women have lower wage expectations. One cause that they state for this salary inequity is that women undersell themselves, which makes employers think they can get away with paying them less. I think that it is unfair.

3. The  North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory's order changed  the part of the law that used to not allow anti discrimination protections. The ACLU criticized the order. Paypal said that they would not build their global center there, the National Basketball avocation said they could move the game from Charlotte. Deutsch Bank said they are stopping a project that could have brought 250 jobs to the state. Bruce Springsteen said he isn't going to have a concert in the state. They are all acting out to prove that the governors executive order needs to abolish the whole law. 

4.The number of child suicide bombers used by Boko Harum has gone up 11 times in the past year. :-( A terrible consequence of this trend is the children dying. Terrorism experts are rejecting the term suicide because the children don't want to die they are being forced to. Boko Harum is a terrorist group in Nigeria which only attacks "soft targets" versus Al-Quaida which will attacks harder targets. They aligned themselves with Al-Quaida. They are motivating people with money.

6.This article is different because the reader gets to know his opinion a little better and it is numbered, which is weird. I thought it was kind of boring so maybe the author could write a little bit more of a shorter and a little bit more interesting.
