Schools in China prepare for copycat attacks

After many attacks on young children China's kindergartens preschools increase their security. Their latest attack happened recently when an armed man entered a preschool with a hammer and he injured five preschool children before commiting suicide by setting himself on fire. Another attack happened a few days before this last one. In this attack a man killed 28 kindergarten kids with a knife in east China. A day before this attack a man attacked 18 students with a knife in Xinha, China. Following these attacks teh Chinease authorities have begun to teach safety awareness in teh school's curriculums.

I don't understand how a person can kill so many little children. I feel bad for the many families who lost their children because of these dumb people and their attacks on the school. Because of all this the schools now have to put more money into the security of their school so that these attack won't happen again.

Issue #2 Boosting the Minimum

The issue over the minimum wage for workers is a hot debate. Many feel that the minimum wage should be raised and this increase would raise the take-home pay of many millions of Americans. There are many Americans who are working a full-time job earning the minimum wage and they are still living below the poverty line. They feel that with the wage increase and the assistance of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) people will rise above the poverty threshold. People feel that the wage hike will positivly affect many Americans, including single mothers. It will give people more money to spend and it will also help to boost our economy. There are other people that say that the wage increase will not be good for people. They feel that the minimum wage is not the answer to fighting poverty because it only affects a small percentage of people.

I feel that the minimum wage should be increased. It will help many people to get above the poverty line. It will give them more money to use and they will be able to live a better life because of it. People will be able to buy more goods and because of this there will be more money out in our economy. It will help to boost our economy and will help our economy to get out of a recession.
