Response to Growing up with two moms

  This article tells a story about gay parents and their child. Child thought it was ashamed that had gay parents. He felt lonely because he think that things he gained socially would disappear if anyone find out the truth. Time went by, when he grew up, he decided to tell the truth that he have gay parents publicly. It’s a big change ho him.
  Discriminate homosexual is a big problem in China. Lots of people can’t stand in a certain sense. We should face it directly. For me, I think there is a big misunderstanding in lots of peoples’ mind. Homosexual is usual in our society, they are not strange, everyone has the equal right to look for his or her true lover. Sex is not a problem.

Part 1 and 2

Author Mustafa Akyol
Article 1
Mustafa Akyol, (2014), Turkey’s New Kurdish Problem
Topic: Turkey’s New Kurdish Problem
Stance: objective
Publication: Nytimes An international publication
Audience: International person who take care of Turkey
Quote:
1. Things looked more complicated from Turkey's perspective though.
2. Nevertheless, Mr. Erdogan should have been more amenable to helping Kobani's fighters.
3. Kobani could have been an opportunity to help overcome these troubles, had the government used more empathetic language and taken the key step of allowing Kurdish fighters from Iraq to pass through Turkey to come to Kobani's aid a month ago.
4. The underlying problem is that the government sees all opposition to its rule as a well-crafted conspiracy to topple it and bring back the much-demonized “old Turkey.” 
5. But it also needs to begin a new peace process with the opposition groups at home, which it has been demonizing as traitors and enemies within.

Article 2
Mustafa Akyol, (2014), Can a New Premier Save Turkey?
Topic: Turkey’s Devotion
Stance: Agree with historic peace process with Kurdish separatists
Publication: Nytimes An international publication
Audience: International person who take care of Turkey
Quote:
1. Here was a leader I had supported for years — both as a voter and a columnist — as he battled against Turkey’s authoritarian secularists, especially the coup-prone military, which had executed or imprisoned some of his predecessors.
2. That’s why some Turkish liberals, including me, who supported the A.K.P. in its early years, hoped that once Mr. Erdogan became president, Mr. Gul would return to party politics and become the new A.K.P. leader and prime minister.
4. By this logic, because Mr. Erdogan wins elections, 
5. One hope is Mr. Erdogan's famous pragmatism, which has repeatedly served to balance his personal and ideological dictates.
Agree to Mr. Erdogan to become president. In this article, there are lots of ideas about support


Article 3
Mustafa Akyol, (2014), Turkey Can Teach Israel How to End Terror
Topic: The problem about terror in Israel
Stance: Objective
Publication: Nytimes An international publication
Audience: International person who take care of Turkey
Quote:
1. ISTANBUL — As I write, the latest war in the Gaza Strip and southern Israel rages on.
2. These debates in Israel remind me of a similar debate at home during Turkey ’s decades-long struggle against the terrorism of Kurdish insurgents.
3. Supporters of this military solution claimed that the PKK survived only because foreign governments supported the insurgent group to serve their own interests, and because of the PKK's violent fanaticism.
4. It's true that Hamas is a violent group and that it must stop firing rockets into Israel and calling for the destruction of the Jewish state.
5. And so long as that cycle of violence continues, neither Israelis nor Palestinians will find the peace and dignity that they deserve.

Cassandra Vinograd, (2014), Why #BringBackOurGirls Plays Into Boko Haram's Hands
Topic: Missing Nigeria Schoolgirls
Stance: Critical
Publication: Nbcnews A national publication
Audience: National person who take care of Boko Haram
Quote:
1. The plight of nearly 300 Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped by the Boko Haram terrorist organization has gone from a national tragedy to an international crisis.
2. "If an act like this brings attention, this is what you have to replicate or top to bring more attention"
3. The rescue operation faces numerous challenges, not least of which is the damage caused by passage of time.
4. All of the attention focused on the kidnappings could have an unintended consequence: giving Boko Haram – and its leader – a public relations boost.
5. Or, he might revel in his new-found profile and dare the US to take him on.

5. In an address to the World Economic Forum in Abuja, President Goodluck Jonathan also thanked the U.S., U.K. and China for their pledges of assistance to track down the girls, whose abductions have sparked international outrage.
