For Obama, Big Rise in Poll Numbers After Bin Laden Raid
Support for President Obama has risen sharply following the killing of Osama bin Laden by American military forces in Pakistan. Support for the president rose significantly among both Republicans and independents.
Among independents, his approval rating increased 11 points from last month, to 52 percent, while among Republicans it rose 15 points, to 24 percent. Among Democrats, 86 percent supported his job performance, compared with 79 percent in April.
In all, 57 percent said they now approved of the president’s job performance, up from 46 percent last month. More than six in 10 Americans said that killing Bin Laden was likely to increase the threat of terrorism against the United States in the short term. Nearly half said the nation should decrease troop levels in Afghanistan, but more than six in 10 also said the United States had not completed its mission in Afghanistan.
Adapted from: The New York Times. Available in http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/05/us/politics/05poll.html ?hp. Access on: May 04, 2011.

I. The approval of president Obama’s government is higher after bin Laden’s death. II. Now, 52% of independents and 15% of Republicans support Obama’s government. III. The majority of the population believes terrorism will end because bin Laden is dead. IV. Most Americans believe the war in Afghanistan is no longer necessary.

RADIATION AND ATOMIC WASTE
Life on earth has always been exposed to a certain amount of radiation from natural sources, which
comes in part from cosmic rays. Also present in our environment is radiation from the radioactive elements
that occur naturally such as radium, thorium, and uranium.
One of the most serious problems that can result from radiation given off by nuclear reactions is
damage to the genes, the cells in living organisms that control hereditary factors. Exposure to radiation can
cause a mutation, a change in some inherited characteristics of the organisms. Only a very small proportion
of mutations are beneficial to the organism.
The nuclear reactors that have been developed for experimental, peaceful and energy production
purposes are surrounded by a heavy protective shield of concrete, or sometimes of lead, to protect the people
who work with them.
A further problem involves the disposal of radioactive wastes. As the number of nuclear reactors in
existence has increased, so has the amount of dangerous waste products. They cannot simply be released into
the environment because they could create a potential hazard for all living things in the world.
Experimentation is trying constantly to find safe methods of getting rid of the harmful by-products of nuclear
reactors. (p. 75)

The price of consumerism
Norman Myers
[...]Moreover, consumption is not an issue for rich countries alone. In developing and transition countries
there are well over one billion people with enough income to enjoy an affluent lifestyle. Their aggregate
spending in purchasing-power parity (as measured in local terms) already matches that of the United
States. Certain effects of their consumerism, such as pollutant emissions from cars, which cause urban
smog and global warming, are a salient concern both locally and worldwide. China alone, with 300
million new consumers and possibly twice as many within ten years, could soon exert an environmental
impact to rival that of the United States.

- • Reuse plastic bags.
- • Recycle newspapers, magazines, bottles and cans.
- • Walk, cycle or share transport instead of driving your car.

Women all around the world are allowed to vote
Suffrage is one of the oldest issues that women’s rights
activist have been fighting for. The struggle to gain suffrage
is often referred to as the first wave of feminism. In 1906
Finland became the first country in the world to grant
women the right to vote and stand in elections. Now, 105
years later, Saudi women have also taken a step towards
equality with the decision of King Abdullah to grant the
women of Saudi Arabia the right to vote and stand for
election. The right for women to vote and stand in elections
hasn’t always been the case in the West, for example in
Switzerland women got suffrage as late as 1971.
According to the decision made by King Abdullah, Saudi
women can take part in municipal elections – the only public
elections in Saudi Arabia. Women will also be able to be
members of the Shura Council which has the power to
propose laws to the King.
The announcement has been received with mixed emotions.
According to the international organization of Parliaments,
IPU, the Inter-Parliamentary Union, the decision means that
no country in the world now discriminates against women
when it comes to electing leaders. Others remain more
sceptical. For example professor and researcher Stéphane
Lacroix said in an interview for French newspaper Libération
that this decision does not fundamentally change Saudi
society.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon welcomes the recent
announcements. He believes that these represent an
important step in the realization by women in Saudi Arabia
of their fundamental civil and political rights.
It will be interesting to see how this law will be implemented
and if it succeeds in advancing women’s rights in Saudi
Arabia.

Nobel Peace Prize Awarded to Three Activist Women
More than 250 people were nominated for the prize this
year, and there had been speculation that the committee
would reward activists from the Middle East who used social
networking sites and other Internet platforms as they
challenged entrenched dictatorships.
But if the committee had singled out the Arab Spring, it
could have courted criticism that, far from rewarding efforts
toward peace, it had chosen a phenomenon whose final
outcome in Egypt and Tunisia is far from clear, and which
has provoked bloodletting and strife in Libya, Syria, Yemen
and Bahrain.
Mr. Jagland said the 2011 prize recognized those “who were
there long before the world’s media was there reporting.”
The announcement in the Norwegian capital followed
intense speculation that the prize would be awarded
variously to a figure from the Arab Spring, the European
Union or exclusively to Mrs. Johnson Sirleaf, 72, a Harvardeducated economist, who has often been cast as a pioneer
in African politics.
She was broadly perceived as a reformer and peacemaker
when she took office after several years in exile.
In Yemen, Ms. Karman has been widely known as a vocal
opponent of the pro-American regime of Mr. Saleh since
2007, leading a human rights advocacy group called
Women Journalists Without Chains. But it was only earlier
this year that her readiness to take to the streets inspired
thousands more in Yemen to do the same.
In Liberia, Ms. Gbowee, 39, was cited by the Nobel
committee for uniting Christian and Muslim women against
her country’s warlords. As head of the Women for Peace
movement, she was praised for mobilizing women “across
ethic and religious dividing lines to bring an end to the long
war” that had raged for years in Liberia until its end in 2003
and for ensuring “women’s participation in elections.”

NFL Supports Fight Against Breast Cancer
The National Football League (NFL) is joining the American
Cancer Society (ACS) to raise awareness about the
importance of breast screenings and to raise money to help
fight breast cancer.
NFL players, coaches and referees will wear pink during the
month of October to remind women about the importance of
getting mammograms and clinical breast exams to find
breast cancer early, when it’s easier to treat. The program,
A Crucial Catch: Annual Screening Saves Lives, is timed to
coincide with National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The American Cancer Society recommends women 40 and
older have a mammogram and clinical breast exam every
year, and younger women have clinical breast exams
periodically as well.
Hats, wristbands and other apparel worn at NFL games, and
special footballs and pink coins will be auctioned off and
proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society. Fans
attending games are encouraged to wear pink.
The NFL also has a Web page where clubs and fans can
register teams to participate in the American Cancer Society
Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk. This
noncompetitive, inspirational event raises awareness and
funds to help end breast cancer by finding cures and
supporting programs and services for all people facing the
disease.
Additionally, the Society’s advocacy affiliate, the American
Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN), is
participating in Crucial Catch by encouraging Congress to
allocate more funding for cancer research.
