I picked the July 2016 edition of National Geographic because the front cover caught my immediate attention. It has a picture of a fingerprint and it references the CSI.

The first article I read was titled “Beyond Reasonable Doubt.” It started off with a cold case in Louisiana about a young woman who was brutally murdered. They were able to gather a DNA sample but found no killer. Years later, they heard about a new forensic method called DNA phenotyping.

On the other hand, it is also a war zone where armed groups kill people and poach animals ruthlessly. It used to be a place where numerous tourists passed through to see a glimpse of the wild life but the number has dramatically declined since the ethnic conflict broke out.

For an instance, they began building hydroelectric plants that provide electricity and economic alternatives. This allowed people to have access to hospital anytime, students can do homework in the evening, and people can buy things like TVs and irons. It stirs people away from joining these militias to sustain themselves and go to the park for gathering resources. Technologies like hydroelectric plants can improve people’s lives incomparably and …show more content…
It was surprising because it seems we have unlimited information for almost anything but we actually don’t for these sharks. The reason is that we can’t go everywhere where the sharks go. Sharks can travel at great speeds and dive into great depths where humans cannot reach or see to keep up with them. This prompted researchers to attach electric trackers, or acoustic tags to track them over long distances via satellite. This has absolutely helped with their research on sharks. Nonetheless, they are still unsure whether sharks are increasing in population or near extinction. Presently, they are tracking sharks to discover the truth. It is fair to mention that because of our modern technology, we are capable of tracking these magnificent creatures. If we can expand our knowledge on sharks, it can help society to understand their movements and perhaps prevent shark attacks in the future. This will help people to feel more secure when they are in the
