“To understand this sentiment, consider the fact that out of the 120.8 million people who call Mexico home, over half—52.3 percent, or roughly over 63 million—live at or below the country’s poverty line. Couple that with a declining confidence in government (only one third of all Mexicans trust elected officials), and you create a window for the population to turn elsewhere for role models” (Martinez). A large part of mexico lives in poverty because the lack of job opportunities the government offers to the people. In a letter written to explain why they marched in favor of El Chapo explain how Guzman helps people get jobs “El Chapo and the drug trade provide employment opportunities that pay well. A dream come true, in places where the government does not lend a helping hand”(Rueda). The drug business creates many jobs for people to survive in such a corrupt country that cannot provide enough jobs.“That drugs destroy. Unfortunately, as I said, where I grew up there was no other way and there still isn’t a way to survive, no way to work in our economy to be able to make a living”(Somaiya) El Chapo told Pen in his interview as Somaiya explains. El Chapo began working in the drug business at a young age. His family's poverty is what made Guzman join the cartels. Guzman started from the bottom and worked his way up. Now he is incharge of the Sinaloa cartel and is a very rich man. Altho he is in jail he has managed

Journalism has held an important role in society since the seventeenth century; people have depended on journalists to provide new and important information concerning a wide variety of topics. This dependency has led to a great deal of trust in journalists and their word and allowed for journalists to publish what they please. Mencken took advantage of the people’s trust when he published the article “A Neglected Anniversary” in the New York Evening Mail. Mencken created his own history of the bathtub and released it to the public in 1917. The manner in which the article is written completely deceived the readers; many truly believed Mencken’s account was true, and the story was believed for quite some time, even after Mencken revealed the truth. The developing trust in journalism and a journalist’s word during the early twentieth century created for the instant acceptance and longevity in belief of Mencken’s hoax.

The New York Times has been around since 1851 when former New York Tribune staffers, George Jones and Henry Raymond, founded it. With the onset of “yellow journalism” by competing newspapers causing the newspaper to lose ground, the newspaper was ultimately purchased by Tennessee newspaperman Adolph Ochs in 1896. In 1944, the company began to diversify with the purchase of two New York City radio stations. Following many more acquisitions, in 1992 The New York Times purchased Affiliated Publications, the owner of The Boston Globe.

In “How to be a ‘Woman Programmer,’” first published in The New York Times, Ellen Ullman argues that there is great prejudice against women in the workplace. Specifically, Ullman thinks that such prejudice exists in the deeper parts of the more technical fields such as computer programming. While encouraging women to avoid confronting men who show their prejudice against them, Ullman nevertheless points out the idea that women should stick to their passion for their work. For Ullman, it is the next best thing that women can do, apart from being a practical solution. However, I think that women should not be afraid to call their male coworkers out whenever women experience sexual prejudice in the workplace regardless of their position. Today, there are laws that equip women with the power to bring erring male coworkers to justice. After all, if the point is to make the genders equal, women should learn to assert their rights.

In the article Penn states, “He's wearing a casual patterned silk shirt, pressed black jeans, and he appears remarkably well-groomed and healthy for a man on the run.” This quote by Sean Penn implies that Penn was a bit surprised by the appearance of Guzman for a guy on the run. Penn thought that for a guy on the run he would look normal but in contrast he looked healthy and well groomed. Penn also states, “I realize that our driver had been the 29-yearold son of El Chapo, Alfredo Guzman. He boards beside me, designated among our personal escorts to see his father. He's handsome, lean and smartly dressed, with a wristwatch that might be of more value than the money housed by the central banks of most nation-states. He's got one hell of a wristwatch.” What Penn implies is that Guzman’s son is dressed very well, and has a very expensive watch. Penn says that his watch might be worth more than most banks in other nation states. Penn is trying to portray their wealth by what they wear. Guzman’s net worth is around 1 billion U.S. dollars. This ties back to labeling because Penn is describing the Guzman’s as people that are superior to

In the New York Time Article by Timothy William, Inquiry to Examine Racial Bias in the San Francisco Police Department, first thing to remember known as implied social perception, implicit bias refers to the attitudes or stereotypes that affect our understanding, actions, and decisions in an unconscious manner. Another key point of argument is that there is no systematic bias in the criminal justice base on race. To point out, in performing their policing duties, police officer are able to exercise a high degree of discretion. This means that they have a have a broad freedom to make a decision about how to act on the given situation. For this reason some police officer deliberately use their wide power of discretion and their authority to perform acts of misconduct. In this article it is generally agreed that discrimination based on racial or ethnic origin is morally wrong and a violation of the principle of impartiality. In fact impartiality principles requires that those who are equal be treated equally based on similarities, and that race not be a relevant consideration in the assessment. However, in May, District Attorney George Gascon appointed a three-judge body of distinguished jurists to look into bias in the department following a series of misconduct scandals, the most troubling being a group of police officers who were caught sending racist text messages. Now, the scope, aim, participants and timeline of the ongoing investigation have been revealed in a series

In today’s day and age, mass media has completely changed the way in which we consume news. The truthfulness of the millions of blogs and web pages makes it hard to trust what is true and what is not. Newspapers are often an overlooked form of news, which is surprising considering that it is a accurate, curated source of media. What sets newspapers apart from all the countless blogs and web pages is the set of ethics that the reporters and editors are required to follow. In State of Play Cal McCaffrey, a reporter for the Washington Globe, did not act in accordance to the code of ethics. McCaffrey knowingly broke the law whilst trespassing, clearly knew McCaffrey had a conflict of interest, and unethically recorded someone while falsely promising anonymity.

El Chapo was the 10th richest man in Mexico (1,140 in the world) in 2011, with a net worth of roughly US $1 billon. In 2013, the commission named Guzman “Public Enemy Number One” for the influence of his criminal network in Chicago , though there is no evidence that Guzman has ever been in that city. El Chapo is wanted by government in Mexico and in the United States, and by INTERPOL. El Chapo mother was foundation of his emotional support. And for many generations, his family lived and died at La

Furthermore, In Warshow’s review of E.B White and the New Yorker, experience again is at the forefront of his critique, along with a bit of his ever present political views. He makes a very important point at the begging of this review, “The New Yorker has always dealt with experience not by trying to understand it but by prescribing the attitude to be adopted toward it.” (warshow 2001, 75) This becomes an interesting argument, even today, as we think about what trends we have seen in popular culture. Do we ever ask ourselves if this is something that has been prescribed to us, instead of by us? Journalism, especially from writers of a certain stature, can often dictate where the culture shifts. If we are able to look at the writing with an objective eye then we are simply learning about another facet of the experience. All to often, though, it is hard for us to be objective. This could be why we, as Americans, have popular culture at all. A journalist tells us what is cool, and we subscribe to that idea as an entire culture. There are always outliers, but when talking about popular culture most Americans are in it for the collective effervesces. I think this point would be highly debated by Warshow. As he says at the end of this review, unable to keep his political feelings at bay, “The purpose of this writing is not to say anything about democracy …but only to arouse certain familiar responses in the liberal middle-class reader.” (warshow 2001,78)

According to Buchanan, L. Keller, J. and Watkins, D. “Joaquin Guzman Loera, a drug kingpin known as El Chapo, has been arrested by the Mexican authorities nearly six months after his escape from a maximum security prison, according to an announcement from Mexico's president. Mr. Guzman's escape last year humiliated officials who had promised that his escape in 2001 would never be repeated”

El Chapo Guzman Loera was born in a Mexican town of Badiraguato. Guzman’s childhood was shaped by his family’s poverty and abusive father a violent man who was in drug trade. He was kicked out of the family’s house and he was forced to make his own way. He eventually found himself following his father’s path by growing marijuana for small amount of cash. Guzman earned his nicked name “El Chapo” (“shorty”) by his 20s, he was supervising organization for another drug kingpin, Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo a founder of the Guadalajara cartel.

After a meeting everyone piles in an elevator and nobody is saying anything. That is strange thing about elevators, it’s like they have the power to make you not talk. You’ve been in a meeting and everybody has shared details of their lives to strangers but, yet don’t say a word. According to Augusten Burroughs, author of “Dry” The New York Times. “When group is over, all pile into the same elevator and nobody says a word. That’s the strange thing about elevators, it’s like they have the power to silence you. I’ve just been in group therapy where people will reveal the most intimate details of their lives to complete strangers, yet in the elevator nobody can say a word”(122). Basically, Burrough is stating that once they leave the therapy room

Article Summary: According to the “New Yorker’’ Article, Senator John Walsh a former military pledged his eyes in a school paper. Walsh tried to excuse himself by saying that he did not did it intentionally. Later on, he blamed Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Because the people didn’t fully believe this answer he alleged that PTSD didn’t have anything to do with it. Walsh said: that “he made a mistake and he is going to move on” and so the people.

The concept that marriage can occur, endure, and succeed without the factor of love seems to be common in many other places in the world. “Who Needs Love! In Japan, Many Couples Don’t,” by Nicholas D. Kristof published in the New York Times in 1996 explores the aspects and success of loveless marriage in Japan beginning with Yuri Uemura of Omiya, Japan.

In his interview with 60 Minutes, Penn admitted that he spoke with the Wenner before venturing out into the Mexican jungle to meet with El Chapo. Although the exact details of the conversation remain unknown to the public, it can be assumed that the Rolling Stone founder granted permission for the story. The green light granted to Penn made it seem valid to use surreptitious methods of reporting to gain a story. Wenner did the exact opposite of minimizing harm as a journalist, as he allowed someone with no real experience to go out to the field and communicate with a highly dangerous fugitive. While Wenner did not have a direct role in the negotiation with El Chapo regarding him approving the piece before publication, he did allow Penn to do what he wanted. By giving El Chapo power to control the news, Rolling Stone might have sacrificed other quality content in an attempt to prevent
