I was reading this article about a young man who was charged with a crime at the age of seven. Afterwards he was found innocent of the crime. Now at the age of fifteen he is behind bars for another crime. Many people are saying that he has been traumatized ever since he was arrested at seven. There is a really good comment in this article, which briefly says that society has failed this young man. Is this true? Is society responsible for his actions? If so, then where does parental responsibilities begin?

How ironic is this, I kill two people and I am on going to receive the death penalty. I then accept a plea bargin which allows me to live the rest of my life in prison rather than be killed. That is the case in this article. This guy kills his fourteen year old girfriend's parents and she gets in the car and leaves with him. The girl witness this happen and did nothing. My question is why isn't she being prosecuted as well?

Race is considered in an issue of a rare type of breast cancer "basal like" is its name. It is stated to be true that young African American women develop this rare form of breast as oppose to women of any other race or older African American women. Researchers have discovered that this rare form can be due to genetics. The article talks about how Caucasian women are more likely to develop breast cancer oppose to any other race. In the long run there is no cure for this "basal like" breast cancer. The most common cases for this type of cancer were found in Africa. I believe that even though they have medications for the other forms of breast cancer, they also have a cure. They are not going to release it due to the fact that they will put the pharmaceutical companies out of business. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/07/health/07breast.html?ex=1307332800&en=1d7a132f193bce68&ei=5088&partner=

Recently I read an article on the new movie "CARS." According to this article http://hollywoodreporter.com/thr/reviews/review_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002613444&imw=Y "CARS" is destined to be the season's biggest performance. This appears to be true seeing as how they have put so much emphasis on the movie before it has even hit the screens. Children everywhere are asking for the toy cars, bed sets, towels, etcetera. Parents and thier children have made "CARS" a success already. It makes me wonder how much emphasis Walt Disney World has placed on this movie so far.
