Is hunting good or bad?

           With many topics this is one of those ones you can argue both sides, I mainly think hunting to be good but I am a hunter so I am a little biased.  I can see the bad in it also such as we are killing things when it is not our right to. Since I'm on the fence about this I'll start with the good. We reduce the deer population which is over populating, we can earn more money if we choose to sell the deer to restaurants, and everybody likes venison. On the bad side of things we are killing when "Thou shalt not kill" to quote the 10 commandments, plus its very much so possible to get a disease from eating any hunted animal.

Ethical dilemmas for editing a bad grammar and poor word choice quote

            Some of the ethical dilemmas for editing a quote that has poor word choice and bad grammar are you can't change the words to make them sound a bit more educated.  Though you may want to change some of the words to make a person sound better you can't because then it wouldn't be a quote. Another dilemma is that they could have just been nervous and not acting themselves when you interviewed so to maybe undo it is see if you can real quick reinterview them or just not use that quote as a quote just add some of their facts into the article an example of this could be: Several neighbors reported that..., you get the point. That is what I believe are some of the ethical dilemmas with this as well as some ways to fix them

Is it news worthy that hopefully one day we'll be able 2 go somewhere but that day never ended

           Yes, I believe that it is news worthy that one day we can go somewhere or do something but that time would exist outside of the space time continuum. I believe this because one day we might be able to do it so the more we know about it now the less we have to learn later. Plus this could lead to several other so called "impossible" feat such as time travel or living on mars. This could also help us go and make our lives better like people who skipped college could go back and do it with out it affecting their normal lives. All this leads me to believe that this topic is news worthy

Is it ethical to download pictures from Facebook without the owners permission? mp2 journal1

           No, I do not believe that it is ethical for someone to download pictures from Facebook without the owners permission. I believe this because it is the users pictures thus making it their right to decide if writers can use them.  If we do not ask it could be considered stealing and you could get in a lot of trouble for it, you might lose your job or even get sued.  At the same time they might not even care but you should always check with the owner, for them that picture could be somewhat special or private and they don't want the entire state to see it. Plus if the picture was downloaded  the person who they downloaded it from would not know you downloaded until after the story was published. All this leads me to believe that it should not be considered ethical to download pictures for an article from a facebook owner account without the owners permission
