I really enjoyed this piece "The Lives of Others". It was very interesting and it had many ethical issues within the piece. For instance this piece was written during the time of Hurrican Katrina. There was many that said that the Black people in the area were not helped as early as they should have been. Even with that being said its still a big understatement. During that time crime was still very high and this is possibley why tyeshia was murdered. The journalist had to also be careful not to "poke at her pain" as she said refering to the mother of tyeshia. This was a pretty difficult subject because she can't ask for to much being that her daughter was just murdered. Overall this was one of the best pieces I've read in this class. I'm not too sure if I will run into any ethical dilemmas with my particular subject. Being that it can be a sad subject just being careful how I address people if they had lost a pet would be beneficial.
