1. India's rape epidemic : will the United States apply pressure for change to its Asian ally.



Summary

 In India, there are so many criminals of rape. The number of rapes reported in India from 1953 to 2011 has shot up 873 percent according to statistics from the National Crime Records Bureau. But the Indian government has been failed to reduce the crimes. So many are hoping the United states and others will apply pressure to their Asian ally to renew the fight against what is by any stranded an epidemic of rape. But it won't be easy.

Persuasive

I can't agree with the judgement of rapes which is so light. Rape makes victim so painful for their body and mind. I think it should be considered as the heaviest. Also in Korea it is issued that so light punishments were given to criminal of rapes. To console the victim of rape, also it is difficult to do, the only method is heavy punishment.

2. Indian Nurses Trapped in Iraq Return Home.


Summary

More than 40 Indian nurses who were trapped in a region of Iraq that was seized have arrived home in India. They were in a state-run hospital where they worked. When armed rebels launched a ware of attack across the region last month, they found themselves trapped. It was not immediately clear whether they had been abducted or trapped and unable to leave. Any way they are all fine and arrived at the airport in the southern Indian city of Kochi.

Persuasive

Always the war makes all the people painful. Not only whom live in the war places and but also other people also fall into despair. When that nurses trapped, although I have not recognized before this blog project,  I'm so sorry to cannot help them anyway... I hope that all of wars will be end as soon as possible. Also I'm happy to listen the news of nurses who were trapped came back to their Hometown.

3. India's role in the Nuclear Race




<No images in this article.>

Summary

 India is seeking membership in the Nuclear Suppliers Group, a 48-nation body established 40 years ago to ensure that civilian trade in nuclear materials is not diverted for military purposes. The application, which was discussed at a meeting in Buenos Aires last month, should not be granted until India proves itself willing to take a leading role. For many years, the country was barred from nuclear trade by the United States and other major states after it tested its first nuclear weapon in 1974 with materials and equipment acquired from Canada and the United States, ostensibly for peaceful purposes, and tested again in 1998. It has refused to sign the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. That situation started to change in 2008 when the United States signed a civilian nuclear trade deal with India, a rising economic power with a huge need for energy. If India wants to be part of the nuclear suppliers group, it needs to sign the treaty that prohibits nuclear testing, stop producing fissile material, and begin talks with its rivals on nuclear weapons containment.

Persuasive

 The nuclear always became the international issue.
Because it's power can make so many people unhappy. All of things or men should be responsible for stability of nuclear. A few days ago it was issued that the  nuclear plant near Busan is in state of danger. I hope that government force the rule limited and tightened makes people feel comfortable.

1. Musicians help West Papua


Summary

 West Papua is an island province that shares the island of New Guinea with the people of independent Papua New Guinea. That area is under control of Indonesian government and their people want to raise awareness of the gross human rights. A diverse line up of local musicians decided to help the west Papua. They will be playing at The Wine Cellar and Whammy Bar on Friday in a show of solidarity with West Papua's struggle. Funds raised from the show will go towards the expenses to bring West Papuan journalist and human rights advocate Victor Mambor to New Zealand.

Persuasive

Freedom is a most important thing for all the people as a human right. My country, Korea, also experienced the colonial period. Many fighters for independence of Korea fought against Japan, then finally achieve freedom of Korea. Reading this article, I felt so sad and want to cheer up them. Please many people who read this article feel as I was and help them by any method they can behave.

2. 6.4 earthquake strikes Tonga



Summary

 A strong 6.4-magnitude quake struck off the Pacific nation of Tonga in this morning. US seismologists said, but no tsunami warning was issued. The earthquake occurs at 3:52 am in northwest of the Tongan town od Hihifo. The earthquake epicentre was at a depth of 10 kilometers.
A sesimic activity of Tonga is considered that occurs by collisions between continental plates.

Persuasive

 I think that the most dangerous and scary thing for human is natural disaster. And the earthquake have vibrations of ground and building, more than any other natural disaster it is dangerous. Reading this article I cannot stop to imagine the victim of it in Tonga. It is considered that Tonga is not an advanced country so I'm worried about the reaction by government for the victim. I really hope that the government will react appropriately then the damage will be minimized.

3. More measures against rape needed in Vanuatu

< No image in this article >

Summary

 There is a women group against crime including murder and rape. They says the government failed to protect victims as the number of rape and murder cases continue to climb. Ms Ligo says her group is supportive of the Justice Minister, Alfred Carlot, who recently said he wants tougher laws against murder and rape. She says it is not just about changing the law, the most important thing is to find out why we continue to have all these rapists and murderers. Still women in Vanuatu are forced to carry knives to protect themselves.

Persuasive

 Heavy criminal like murder and rape should be disappeared. Also in our country, Korea, it is always issued how punish the criminal. It is serious problem to punish them lightly, these judgment make victims more painful. I think that more strong punishment are much needed. It is only way to console the victim and reduce the crime.

1. Israeli water management experience likely to help Peru.


Summary
 Yosi Aviram, The commercial attache' at the Israeli emabssy in Peru reported that Peru can replicate Israel's experience in water management. The Israel has the highest recycle rate of water in the world. In Israel, they recycle 80% of the potable water for agricultural uses. Almost half of  Israel’s water requirements come from re-used treated wastewater, brackish water, and desalinated water, and Israel’s agricultural sector is a world leader in water use-efficiency and conservation. At Watec Peru 2014, the peruvian companies will have the opportunity to discover the latest technologies and methodologies for ensuring high quality water supply services.

Persuasive
 The water in the world is becoming more and more reduced. So it is necessary to save water for our future, also our country should prepare for water recycle. As reported in this article, recycle rate of water can have the value of 80%. Peru, the country that didn't use their a lot of water efficiently, will be abundant with water. Likely we also have to develop the technology of water management for our next generation.

2. Chikungunya fever confirmed in Peru

Chikungunya fever confirmed in Peru

Summary
Peruvian public health officials have noticed that two Peruvian citizens have come down with the chikungunya, a virus transmitted through mosquito bites. According to Peru21, the two Peruvian citizens had recently traveled to the Caribbean. Although chikungunya is rarely lethal, the typical symptoms of the chikungunya includes  severe pain in the joints and high fever. Also, there is no  vaccine for chikungunya and no antiviral to treat the virus. The United States Center for Disease Control strongly suggested travelers protect themselves from chikungunya by preventing mosquito bites

Pursuasive
Epidemic disease is one of the biggest threat to human being. Although many researchers try to give solution to it, not many disease are incurable or inpreventable. Chikungunya can be a one example. Since two patient has revealed, the Peru government should protect their population from being contaminated. Also, other developed country should struggle to combat the disease.

3. Peru: Body of missing Italian climber identified


Summary
 Alpamayo Peak is a popular destination for climbers from around the world. One of the bodies of the two Italian climbers who went missing while attempting to scale Peru’s Alpamayo Peak has been found and identified. His name is Enrico Brogli,  who was 29 at the time of his death. But his companion of climbing Mateo, Tragliaquili, who was 27 at the time of missing, is still missing. It is believed that they were killed when an avalanche swept them into a crevice on the mountain.

Persuasive
 There are many climbing accident all around the world. But It looks so difficult to find out the body who was missed in mountain covered with snow. Of course, the peak of the mountain can be a goal of many climber. But it is so dangerous not only for them but also for rescue crew who will be called to find missed climber. I think that certain rules are need to prevent accidents for climb.

<No image in this article> 

Summary
 On Tuesday midnight, there was a collision about 13 nautical miles from the port of Pisco. Navy spokesman  says  that two trawlers collided off the nation's central coast, capsizing one. Navy spokesman announced that 15 crewman on the Marisol II were thrown in to the sea. Nine fishermen are known dead, three are missing and three was rescued. The cause of incident is now under investigation.
Persuasive
 In Korea, two months ago, there was a terrible accident on the sea near Jindo island. More than three-hundred people died or were missing. Koreans fall into despair, sympathyzing the students and other missed people. As a result, I feel so pitiful about this article which cover the accident of fisherman in Peru more than any other people. I wish the government of Peru find all the victims of the accident.

Summary
 An Indian High Court has ruled that a man cannot divorce his wife because she is fat or has gained weight because there is no framework for beauty.
