Crucible paper: ideas for compare/contrast

  1. "Churches denounce child witches"
  2. On Thursday, November 19, in Provo, a University of New Mexico soccer player gets violent against BYU. ESPN commentators wonder why her teammates and her coach didn't react.
  3. Rules of women under the Taliban.
  4. Pat Tillman, former Arizona Cardinals player, left the NFL after 9/11 to fight in Afghanistan. Shortly afterwards, he was killed by friendly fire.
  5. Senator McCarthy and the Red Scare: in the early 1950s, some Americans feared that Communists might take over the world and were beginning to infiltrate the United States.
  6. Current DNA evidence sometimes exonerates innocent people who were in prison.You could examine the case of Jamie Bain who was recently released after spending 35 years in prison for a 1974 rape he didn't commit.
  7. Cleveland riots in reaction to LeBron James "taking his talents" to the Miami Heat.
  8. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=114308726 "Number of Arrests Growing in California Gang Rape"
