Curent Event 2.1

1. What is the potential conflict of interest with Austin City Council members and some parks and recreation board members getting free ACL passes? Page A1 "For City Council, ACL..."

A potential conflict of interest with the Austin City Council members and some parks and recreation board members getting free ACL passes is that some of the members believe it is wrong for them to be getting these passes that cost up to $1000. Other members of Austin may believe it is wrong for them to be receiving these too.

2. What message is Tom Steglich's political cartoon trying to send to viewers? Page A13 Political cartoon on the bottom right of the page.

He is trying to tell readers that law makers and other officials, or anyone who has a good amount of money is getting to caught up in all the money and they believe it is the most important thing they have. While other people like moms are holding on to there families and taking care of them as they are the first priority which seems right. 

3. Why did a UT professor plan to resign later this year? Page B1 "UT prof fears for safety..."

The professor had decided to resign because he does not feel safe on the campus anymore because members of the school are allowed to carry guns with them now. The professor is nervous because there are so many students in his classes that he could not tell about how they were feeling that day and he feels unsafe.

4. What is new for Amazon and local Austin artists? Page B6 "Austin artisans sell on Amazon..."

Amazon is now allowing artists to sell their handcrafted work no the website. Austin is one of the four cities that was chosen to have local artisans featured in a pictorial and video project.

5. Why is Metal Gear's new release rated so highly according to the reviewer? Page SA2 "Newest Metal Gear..."

Metal Gear is rated so highly because it is much better than the other ones and because it emphasized the dynamic game play and puts the saga of Big Boss and his sons in the background.


Short Answer:

1. The industries has seen such growth because the items can be delivered so fast now. It is easier and more relaxing for people to just order the stuff they want online and have it be delivered within the same amount of time it takes to go to the store pick up what they want and get home. Electronic devices have also made it a lot easier for people to order things quickly and efficiently online, so it is really easy to do so.

2. My family and I use mobile delivery when we order things on amazon or things that we find online. Most of the time we buy things in an actual store and we never buy food online. We we order things usually we don't use like amazon prime and etc., so the things that we ordered usually do not get here until about a week or a little less later.

3.Millennials have been targeted because thousands of people have started to buy products or food online and they are having it delivered to their house in only a short time. There are thousands of people doing this and there are still thousands more who will join in the future.

4.I do think I will use online ordering, but I may not use it super constantly. I do not trust the people giving me the food or product as much and I don't know if it is well made or if it fits so i prefer to go to a real store. It is very handy though and I'm sure it is going to because such a big deal in the future that it will soon be the normal thing that everyone is doing, so I will be doing it more than I don know. I just will probably not use it as much as some other people will use this opportunity.
