I found the article "Pleas Unheeded as Students' U.S. Jobs Soured" a shocking story about international students who seem to have been taken advantage of in the United States. Perhaps I am simply naive, but I was unaware that a U.S. organization could deceive and mistreat so many young adults on a continuous basis. When I began reading this article, I could not imagine the severity of the claims that were to come simply from the delay lede. The reason that I found this article so shocking is because like these students, I hope to study abroad and will believe what I am told by the agencies' programs that I am participating in. These students read and thought they understood the program that they were signing up for, but ended up being deceived. With this article, I also noticed that it ended with a strong quote, like many other New York Times articles.
As a follow-up to my blog post on Friday's newspaper, today's paper included an article relevant to next year's election: "Republican Debates Are a Hot Ticket on TV." This article shares the same idea that I proposed, that people are paying particular attention to political debates and issues, even though it is still relatively far away from the next presidential election. The ideas of this article, the viewers of debates, will be something to follow as the presidential race progresses.
