5. In the Tech Extra section, on page SA3, which one of the 4 items in the main story on the page would you like to own and WHY?

I would like to own Ue Boom Bluetooth speaker because I love music and my speaker recently broke. Also, this one seems to be very resistant to dust and damage so it would most likely be worth the money.


Short Answer:

Read BOTH of the articles on page A11 at the top under the headline Balanced Views. What arguments are both making about the current political situation in the United States? Why do you think there are titles "From the Left" and "From the Right" on those two stories? Why would the newspaper put this in on the opinions pages? What the the newspapers goals doing this?

I see two arguments about elections and happenings from the democratic side and the promises from the Republican side of these two parties. The issues discussed are ISIS, foreign policy, and Ebola. I watch a lot of news and my mother has educated me on government and politics a bit so I do know what these terms are getting at. "On the Left" means the democratic side of things. "On the Right" means Republican side. Both of these parties are all about a certain opinion. Each side has a general opinion on how certain things should be run and carried out when it comes to politics and government. Both of them clash and disagree, having their differences in what they think is right and what is wrong. This makes these two articles an opinion piece even though they state facts within them. Newspapers put these out there for 1) educate the Americans on what their government's recent events and happenings have been, 2) Update them on the political parties' thoughts and opinions about recent happenings and 3) Show an actual Democrat or Republican's thoughts on a matter at hand.
