Welcome Home

It’s been long overdue and our American troops deserve to step foot back onto the U.S. soil.  It has finally been decided by the president of the United States, Barrack Obama.  The war in Iraq is over.  Our troops fought long and hard.  While some lived and some died with altruism, families and friends can finally have a true reunion with their loved ones.  
                However, the situation in Iraq will not be easy once our soldiers leave.  We will be leaving the people of Iraq to find their own path of life.  It’s easy to predict that hostility and violence will occur because the U.S. isn’t there anymore.  Though the war is over, there are still many horrible things that will eventually happen.  We, the United States, have to under that we can’t stay in Iraq forever.  We’ve been involved for over eight years.  We need to understand that every country will have its troubles.   It is about time we have our troops home.  If the country falls apart, maybe we should just let it be?  We’ve done so much already and we’ve got so far.  No one wants to start at square one again.  Besides, the Iraqi officials refused to give U.S. personnel immunity against any prosecution by the Iraqi people if any of our men or women got themselves into any kind of trouble.  We’re protecting a country that won’t even give us a little bit of mutualism. 
                We can keep them over our radar as time progress but our time is up.  It’s time to welcome our heroes home.

Cheap Robots vs. Cheap Labor

This happened back in the day when farmer's had the grasp of agriculture.  Until people started inventing new gadgets and machines that makes farming a lot more easier and faster than human hands.  In this article, the author explains the crisis in the work industry for factory workers in China.  We all know that we send our valuable inventions for China to assemble together for cheap labor rather than having American hands do so. Now, instead of having other countries do our work for us- we think that we're better off having robots do our job because it's "cheap".  The author of this editorial, hints us about the way the world will dig itself in a deeper hole than it already is.

"In the meantime, as robots take over more work, the millions trapped in the countryside will have even fewer opportunities".  I agree with this statement.  Where will all the ex-employees go when their expertise was the job that was taken from them?  All of their jobs are taken over by so-called robots.  We already pay low prices to the foreign countries, how cheaper can we get?  In order for our world to process correctly, there must be benefits and processes that help each other.

The author claims that once their jobs are taken away from them.  It is nearly impossible for them to relocate and find a new job.  That is because the Chinese government doesn't make it easy for them.  We already have our country in a recession.  Is it necessary to drag other countries down with us as well?  Even though the Chinese make under $2 an hour, it is still a reasonable amount of money for them.  That's what keeps them moving.  It's just not right doing so.

So now the topic should be: what keeps us moving?
