PLN 7

Recently I read an article from "The Denver Post" about a football player from Memphis University who was fatally shot on Sunday. This article also included information about a freshman football player at the University of Massachusetts-Armhest who was stabbed and sent to the hospital on Sunday.

I think that we have to pay close attention to events like this because it leads to the death or injury of many young people. There is too much violence on College campuses and it needs to somehow be stopped. We need to figure out ways to keep violent students in line and to regulate what goes on around the campuses.

This article relates to me because I'll be in college soon and I don’t want to feel unsafe. I think we need to improve security at schools everywhere. When I get into college I don’t want to feel like I need to look out for people who might want to shoot me.

This situation relates to the world because it isn't just in the U.S. that there is violence, it is everywhere. There will always be people who want to hurt other people; we just need to find better ways to stop them before they actually do it.
