aljazeera film points.

What sources of tension, new and old, in the Middle East are revealed by the film?


 Aljazeera and the U.S. have some tension with the two different ideas of “free press”. Obama made the decision to invade Libya, for the purpose of trying to stop a set of horrific crimes from happening. They say they stopped massacre. The U.S. are trying to help the rebels in their attempts, but it’s very hard. They don’t have and physical protection, and it’s very dangerous to guard the checkpoints like that. Obama’s plan is to train his own rebel army, but they’re inexperienced and they don’t know much about the enemy. Oil is a very strong factor in why the U.S. is involved with Libya. The rebels have taken over an oil company, and they say they haven’t been producing any oil and there has also been talk about them making some. People have been trying to help the U.S. in thinking twice about starting anything. We don’t know where it’s gonna end, and we don’t really have a full understanding. We could just be causing ourselves more trouble.

  1. I think that you have a great understanding of the situation, but you should have mentioned somthing about the oil prices rising

  2. Well, I can tell that you paid attention to the video, although I do believe that Mr. Rowley asked for it to not be in bullet form. Good job, but I would put it as paragraph form. :D

  3. Not in an 'essay' format, but, ya know, that's all good, bullet format is good too! :)
    The points you made were pretty good, could be a bit more detailed, but since you really didn't have all that much time, it's fine!
    All in all, it's pretty good, Miss Kelsey :)

  5. I think you did a great job. Obviously you were paying attention to the video because you seem to have a really good understanding. I also agree with the whole bullet format thing too, but it really only happened in some places not all. You did really good! :) Nice job KELTSEY. ;)
