With no tower, is airport safe? Crash at Peter O. Knight sparks
concerns over risks to neighbors
This airport does not have a tower
or air controllers. Planes must rely on radio communications to signal their
intentions. Due to this, two men lost their lives in a plane crash. Citizens
and safety officers want to see a tower and traffic controller to increase
safety for both the residents around the airport and the pilots. Others argue,
however, that a traffic tower would not prevent traffic conflicts. Pilots must
also effectively communicate.
The problem here is that, in smaller airports, communication is often lacking. And since these airports usually house smaller planes and non-commercial pilots, lots of people do not see the need for air traffic control as strict as in other airports.
This affects pilots, passengers, and residents who live at risk of a plane crash.

Trump said he'd round up 'bad hombres.' How did a
Jamaican grandma get on that list?
Due to recent regulations and laws in this country, a
Jamaican grandmother was put in detention by the Border Patrol. She was
escorted off of the bus for one reason: she overstayed her tourist visa. While
she was legally detained, the article argues that this wasn’t right or fair.
Seveeral other similar cases are listed here, due to Trump’s orders to
identify, detain, and quickly deport any undocumented immigrant whom agents
come upon.
The problem here are the poor people who are trying to live their lives being deportd without fair process and not even getting a chance. It is reminiscent of other past societies that have not fared well and does not comply with our nation’s rich cultural diversity.
This is a problem for immigrants and people who come from other countries.

Ankle bracelet fails to stop violent offender Man flees while
awaiting trial in sexual battery, kidnapping - Man flees while awaiting trial
in sexual battery, kidnapping
Ankle monitors seem to
be failing. Kevin McGruder was released from jail with one. He had been arrested
with false imprisonment and domestic battery. The jail argues for ankle
bracelets: saying tha they are economical for the jail. You save money with
fewer people. The man was later found and arrested.
The problem here is that ankle monitors are failing and not as trustworthy as one would hope.
This is a problem for society and jails, as well as the justice system.

'We are numb to the suffering of animals, which makes us numb to
the suffering of people'
James Cromwell argues that the world is
too cruel to animals. Our lack of empathy for them translates to a lack of
empathy for the suffering of people. According
to him, violence towards animals “infects us as a species and corrupts our
nature”. He describes eating animals, keeping them in zoos and aquariums and
the mistreatment towards them there.
The problem here, according to him, is that people are too cruel to animals. Our society turns its head from the abuse, and that leads us to be violent towards other humans, as well.
This affects animals and everyone around the world.

A driving frustration Until new locations open, new drivers in
Hillsborough can face monthlong delay - Until new locations open, new drivers
in Hillsborough can face monthlong delay
There is only one
location in Hillsborough County for a road test to get a license. Up to 120
appointments are scheduled per day. The wait for a road test can take up to 30
days, so many people are going to Polk County. Tickets don’t guarantee an
appointment, just a place in line. A new larger tax collector/DMV place will be
built soon. The state will pay most of the construction cost.
The problem here is that the wait times are too long and people have to wait extended periods of time to get drivers licenses and road tests.
This affects new drivers, parents, and employees.

Hi Danny,
ReplyDeleteI think that that airport does not seem very safe. I would especially avoid flying at night because of the decreased visibility. It would be interesting to find a solution to this problem other than a tower, which may not be an option because may not be able to afford it.
I also think that immigration executive orders are an issue. The ankle monitor seems to have a structural issue. I wonder what they could do to improve it?
We actually shared the same article: 'We are numb to the suffering of animals, which makes us numb to the suffering of people.' I agree that society must become more aware of the suffering of others. I believe that awareness of other minds is the root of empathy, and we should do more to educate children about it.
These are definitely problems that warrant solutions. I think this is an exercise to think not just about our own problems but other people's problems. If we look at what other people need, we can figure out how much demand there is for a solution to the problem and measure its importance.
Hi Danny! The article that struck me the most was the immigration article. I keep seeing news story after news story about everyday people just trying to make a living, support their families, or be with their families who are being deported for no reason other than they are not a U.S. citizen. This also seems to affect some countries more than others, and there are racial implications attached to which countries get priority and which are automatically turned away. It isn't American, and I definitely agree that our rich cultural diversity is what makes us strong. However, diversity seems to be scary to the executive branch right now, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteAnother article of yours that stuck out to me was the ankle monitor one. It's problematic that they don't seems to be working, because if that ultimately leads to prisoners being kept in jail instead of released for probation that could cost taxpayers a lot of money (and the incarceration system in the U.S. already costs us an excessive amount of our taxes).
I commented on the animal abuse article relating to SeaWorld on Carlos's posts, so I won't go as in depth in this comment. I support animal rights 100% (I'm vegetarian and would like to eventually transition to veganism) but the demonstration should've reached the audience BEFORE they paid for their tickets and SeaWorld profited, not AFTER they already paid. The only thing the deomnstration achieved was maybe some awareness, but SeaWorld still got those tourists' money that day.
Great post! :)
