Newspaper Child Soldier- Alice

Newspaper1

The article that I selected is from CNN and the title is “The Perfect Weapon for the Meanest War”. The content of the article is basically about the negativity on child soldiers in Africa. The adults in few countries are enforcing the youngsters to be involved in the vicarious crime, by enlisting them as ‘soldiers’. Therefore, at early age, young children are learning how to work with the destructive tools, weapons that eventually kill other humans or animals. This evidently exposes the children to devastating state of life and death at an early age. Although such countries are short on number with soldiers to guard their own territory or country, they shouldn’t be letting young kids to protect, because they have their own rights to explore their life more than given; they need to be educated at school, not about the wars. Eventually those young kids are the ones who die on behalf of other adults who are perhaps afraid to stand up for their countries. This article is directed for those who are out in the world that needs to know about the world affairs such as this. If not censured by the government, these articles are certainly not biased against anything. And since this article is released by the New York Times, it is certain that the article is standing in the neutral position. This act in any part of the world should stop due to such articles that continuously inform the audiences.
