week 8

1.The article is about, university/ college shootings in the United States.

2. The author use facts and imporant details to support the main idea such as Virginia tech, where 32 people were killed by a student who then killed himself. In 1999 Columbine High School shooting. There were 2 boys that killed 13 people including them selves. Experts have found that, tighter security in the after math of the violence isn’t always effective. “people tend not to take security seriously until an incident happens, and then we find they are hyper vigilant. But, after a few days or months, they go back to their everyday ways.” “ we have a lot of boys and young men who don’t know how to deal with their feelings of rage or depression or being broken-heated or any of the other kinds of normal emotions.” The fact is no matter how secure we make are campuses, shooters will always find a way to get

3.
1) independent/ social isolation
