Student trend features to read

Identify the trend in each story? The first trend feature was about digital mobile tickets and how that has transitioned from physical paper tickets.  The second trend feature was about emotional support through animals, also going more in depth about dogs.

Extra credit documentary review

This documentary "Then They Came for Us" had on-hand accounts of  around 120,000 Japanese Americans who had been sent to internment camps in the 40s. The film goes in depth about how horrible this event was and how these people were incarcerated because they "looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor". But those who ordered the internments never found any viable evidence that they were actually spies or conpirators, but were actually a mix of "Buddhis monks, Japanese school teachers, and community leaders", rather simple non-threatening folk.  The film then tied this issue of people being forced out of their homes and their lives into the recent Muslim travel ban and how they are seeing a lot of the similar paralels again, also the same kind of racism and discrimination. It then followed by talking about how important it is to know history so that it isn't deemed to repeat itself again. The film also showcased a number of photos from pho...
