Solutions

As I did my research I came up with a few solutions to possibly lower homicides. 

1. A family is the root of everything that happens around. For example, a child that has both parents living with him\her has a better chance of making good decisions than a child that is living with a single parent because both parents are there for the child and they are united. To make everything even, i believe people should help people. What I mean by this is that if anyone sees someone struggling there should be a helping hand. We need to have more good examples and bring good manners to children so they don't grow up making wrong decisions like killing others.
   
2. Administrators like teachers, principals, and security guards should be more aware of everything that's going on. Today, half of the adults with a good job just come to work to get paid and concentrate on their problems. Money shouldn't be the top priority.Their surroundings should be their top priority.
3. Last but not least, i believe our high school can contribute to end homicides in our area by starting clubs that interest teens and kids to distract them from being on the streets very late.

Homicides are dangerous to our society that's why its important that we find ways to help improve this situation. The three sources highlight some causes, possible solutions and give descriptions on what some people experienced. Article one says that children have no adult guidance and this is a problem because it can lead them into the wrong direction. For example, as the child grows he/she may feel lonely and there can be a high possibility that they will do anything to make others feel the same way they do which will end up in killing people. Today we have games that contain violence in them and they are exposed to children at a young age. This is another problem that needs to be fixed. The article mentioned that if there were more parental or adult guidance in children then there wouldn't be a lot of homicides caused by teens.

Thesis

When you see a crying family, when you see news about a a guy being in jail for murder, and experience a death due to violence that when you know there has to be something done to decrease homicide rates.

Pathos, Ethos, Logos.

How would you feel If one day you woke up and the first thing you heard on the news was that your brother or sister got killed? You probably answered Sad. Why sad though? Don't you think you could've done something to prevent it? For example, instead of letting them go out, you could've kept them busy by doing something both can enjoy.

Whenever I see people getting killed it I wonder if the family even cared about the person. A person who cares will be on top of him/her.

Great Debators and Homocide.

In the movie Great Debators there were scenes that caught my attention and made me realized that it had similarities to what I said can be causes and possible solutions to Homocides. For example, on one scene Mr.Tolson, Henry, Samantha, and James were going somewhere when suddenly they stopped to see one of their fellow civilians' get set on fire. They couldn't do anything about it at that time. By the end of the movie James Farmer Jr. Surprisingly wins the debate by talking about this atrocious scene. He also talked about possible ways to overcome this problem and appealed to the audience emotions.
