Although being part of the Corps De Ballet puts you in a place where you blend into one, the backstage atmosphere can show how concentrated each individual is before going on stage for one of the most difficult Corps De Ballet roles in ballet history, this picture captures those few moments before going on stage very nicely.

Visual Text Presentation
When looking at this picture, everything that is going on screams division of society. Just looking at the clear division of people who are resorting to the nomadic actions of fishing either for pleasure or because they need to provide for their family, and the clean cut society looking down on them is shocking.
Visual Text Presentation
When I look at this man I see a raw emotion that is hard to capture in a photograph. His expression tells me he has a troubled past. His physical traits in the photo are evidence to this. As a whole he represents the spirit of the Iranian people and how they will stand tall against the violence of war.

Officers arrested due to deadly shooting of 6-year-old boy
Source: CNN
Article: http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/06/us/louisiana-child-shooting-officers-arrested/
Author: Joe Sutton
Summary:
A 6-year-old boy was shot to death in the front seat of his father's vehicle while he was buckled. The shooting happened on a dead-end street and it is unclear why officers pursued or why shots were fired. Investigators say there were no outstanding warrants against the father and the child’s father wasn't armed. The child was hit by five bullets in the head and chest which was all filmed on police body cameras. The footage was considered to be “most disturbing thing ever seen”. Both officers were charged with second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder.
Democratic Value:
Common Good- the common good is general safety, security, and welfare. This case goes against the common good of general safety, security, and welfare because an innocent child was killed and his father was injured for no reason.
Bias:

Bias:
There was little to no bias in the article. The article just gave information about the incident and stated facts surrounding what happened. We didn't feel as though it author took a side of wether the shooting was justified or unjustified, the author just explained the information. This article was written to tell people what was going on and provide them with information.

Miski is said to have instructed two people in the past to attacks a “Mohammed Cartoon Contest” in Garland, Texas. Miski, aka Mohamed Hasan.
Bias: None, very factual presentation, talked about the shooters more than the victims.
Democratic values: Common good. The side issue constantly talked about was gun control, in Obama's oval office address, he talked about how congress needed to authorize military operations against Islamic state and to tighten gun restrictions. These issues are all important to everyone’s safety.
