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.

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.
