Earlier this week, I was talking to a friend of mine who works on the announcements here at Glenelg. I was asking him about what Halloween songs they would play, if they would dress up in costumes, or even if I should expect to hear a Halloween related pun at the end of the announcements. His response floored me:

Artificial intelligence benefits, hinders job creation and production

When the Industrial Revolution began in Europe during the mid-18th century, many farmers became poor because new technology allowed the same amount of work to be done with fewer people, therefore lowering prices of their products with more productivity. 
    
This happened with nearly every instance of technological advancement, and job loss is always a concern that accompanies new inventions. However, something that many people forget is that with these new inventions, they create as many, if not more, jobs as they make obsolete.

In August 2021, U.S. President Joe Biden issued the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan in an effort to end the War On Terror, also called the ‘Forever War’ by people who disapprove of the engagement.

​The conflict was initiated by the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001, when former President George W. Bush announced that he “...directed the full resources of our intelligence and law enforcement communities to find those responsible and to bring them to justice.” Just one month after 
this announcement, the U.S. invaded Afghanistan with thousands of troops in search of Osama Bin Laden, the leader of the terrorist organization responsible for the attacks. ​

9/11 cannot be forgotten

10/1/2021

 
By: Cassie Seibert and Ben Lahmann
​It has been 20 years since our nation suffered its worst attack on domestic soil. When it occurred, it was seen as one of the most significant tragedies in U.S. history. While 20 years has not changed that sentiment, time has seemingly lessened the significance of that day and we tend to forget how the tragedy truly affected Americans and American values.
