Je Suis Charlie (War and Conflicts)

     This news article "Charlie Hebdo: First Cover since Terror Attack Depicts prophet Muhammad" is about the attack on a Paris magazine office killing twelve people. This attack was led by two men who follow the ideologies of Isis. The headline of the front cover "Tout est Pardonné" (All is forgiven) was printed to show that this attack should not led to a horrible conflict instead it should open doors to forgiveness.

     A text to world connection you can make is the Parliament Hill shooting that occurred in Ottawa. This attack was also carried out but Isis followers. Isis (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) have declared "war" on all countries. To prove that they are being serious on their threat, they have been planning out terror attacks in different countries. Like the Parliament Hill shooting and now the attack on a Paris Magazine office. The ideologies of Isis is to use force and violence to establish an Islamic caliphate. 

     This connection helps extend my understanding of different ideologies that people have. Humankind repeats the past without knowing that they are. Wars and conflicts are an on going cause. Instead of using violence and force, people should look at the past and realise that force and violence is not the answer to everything. Ideologies have positive and negative effects, society should look at those effects before advocating to violence.
