For my survey, i went to Starbucks coffee shop and handed people my survey. During that time i realized that i have to watch the people before giving them the survey in order to predict whether they are going to accept it or not.I tried to interview older as much as i can because i think that younger people will not have experience in the matter because most of them are not married yet. The result did not seem strange from what my group expected. I wanted to find out whether divorce will have a negative impact on children or not. Most of the people whom i interviewed were over 30, students and singles. Half of them were males and obviously the other half would be females. I was surprised when i found that there a lot of people who have divorced parents. Moreover i found that 2 of them were divorced. Also most of the people think that divorce has a negative effects on children and children are not angry from their parents. Also, people think that divorce is caused by relationship problems because married life is getting more complicated than before. People were confused whether children will live natural life after divorce or not. Finally people think divorce sometimes is necessary and children prefer to live with their mother after divorce.
I think that we need to address the real reasons for this high rate of divorce. Since most of the people say that divorce is caused by relationship problem then we need to encourage people to see psychiatrist before they get divorce. I mean sometimes the cause of divorce can be silly then couples can solve it with a specialist. I love to see all children happy with their parents someday. I know it is a hard think to wish for, but maybe someday we will figure our problems out and let children have the perfect family that they wished for.Sometimes divorce problems are very complicated then it is better to end this marriage immediately before things get crazy, but couples need to find a way to not make their children feel bad after the divorce. finally, I want to say that couples need to sacrifice for each other, marriage and their children in order to make all of them happy.

Analysis of survey
In my survey, I asked some people 11 questions about divorce and what effect on kids is. I selected five students and three faculties. They are in different ages. Six out of them are single. Five out of 8 their parent does not divorce. Half of them strongly agree that divorce is effect for children. Five of them returned divorce to the problems relationships. Five of them said that children live in good life after parent divorce. Six of them do not angry from their parent if they are divorce. Six out of eight feel divorce is necessary sometimes. Finally, six of them choose mother to live with her.
In my opinion, divorce is very necessary sometimes and I agree with the opinion in my survey that the most cause of divorce is problems relationships. I hope to all people to live without divorce.

How Divorce Affects Children
In "How Divorce Affects Children". the author tells us about the impact of divorce on children behavior. Also, he shows that parents can do much to make their divorce effects less severe on heir children. Then, he starts to explain how children are affected by divorce. First, divorce is stressful for children because they do not want their parents to be separate. Second, because divorce has negative effects on children behavior, it increases the chances of psychological, mental and behavioral problems. Third, the majority of children whose parents are separated do not necessarily develop bad behavior. So, we should not call them “children of divorce”. Finally, divorce sometimes brings terrible memories to children.
I was interested in reading this article because of my news talk class’ project. My project is about the impact of divorce on children behavior. Actually, the author supported my group’s opinion, which that divorce has a negative effects on children behavior. I think divorce makes children weak inside. Moreover, it makes them feel different from other children in bad negative way. Therefore, I think that a couple needs to think a lot before getting a divorce and sacrifices for their children.

Family Matters: Helping Children Adjust to Divorce
I read a good article whose title is "Family Matters: Helping Children Adjust to Divorce". According to Duncan (2002) in his article, “Family Matters: Helping Children Adjust to Divorce” the parents must keep a good relationship between them, especially in from on their children. If one parent wants to divorce, he must to listen to what your child's opinion about divorce. There are some ideas that parents can help their children
1) Parents getting a divorce is not the children's fault
2) Parents must prove to their children that they are love them
3) Parents must discuss with their children about changes will be.
4) Parents must explain to their children that divorce does not mean they must choose one of them.
5) Parents must explain to their children that divorce is not a crime and it is not cause embarrassed for them.
Parents must keep their children and they must explain divorce is not bad thing if they going to do choose that. They must help children to create a good relationship with their parents.
In my opinion, divorce is not good at all, but sometimes it is the only correct way. If one parents did some strong wrongs and cannot return to straight life. Therefore, the divorce is the best solution. Children must understand that, but how? Parents must describe that and they must explain to their children that divorce will happen to keep a kind of relationship between the parents. Children will help them to keep this relation, if they understand that. If divorce will happen, this is not the end of life.

Saluki Way
Half-percent increase to provide Saluki Way funds
This article is from Daily Egyptian. It is about the event that most of the City Council decision-makers vote the increase of the taxes.
The money should come from city services, organizations, and should be used also for construction of public safety service as well as fire station replacement. The dissidences happen when it were about to provide more money to Saluki Way: $2.3 million annually. Some members of the audience like SIU President agreed but some argue that they should take in account that the money is for many purposes, actually for all the city services and the amount chose for Saluki Way is too much. Finally, it result that Carbondale citizen will pay a half-percent increase tax and then will become the most important donor of Saluki Way. Saluki Way get by the way a large amount of money because it has also raised another funds from donation and contributions when the city is left small amount to solve his common expenses.
I am interested with this article because it is amazing that most of the city money is used to support sport and to let behind some social issues as security, health, education. It can be frustrating for people who do not like sport or who will not get some services because the money were used for sport. Beside it, we can notice how sport passion can catch people and become their favorite thing. Any way should city money used for only university sport?
