Process Journal #1 (Homework 4)

So far I have got information on my artist which will help me create the insert. I know that the colors I use are going to be dark but shiny, to represent the image of rock. I also have an idea of what I want the image of Diggy to look like on the front cover, him looking directly at the camera like that it seems as if he's looking directly at the buyer when they see the cover. So far I've had no challenges because the task guides break the entire project into different sections for me. It's simple tasks that lead to the completion of the entire project.

Two severe heads found in Mexico City

BBC News - Two severed heads found in Mexico City

Two heads were found near the main military base in Mexico City. The crime was committed by a gang who goes by the name "The Hand with Eyes". The heads were found today, October 3, 2011 in the morning. The culprits had left a note saying that their reasoning was the capturing of their leader, Oscar Osvaldo Garcia Montoya, who was arrested in August. However it is also believed that the decapitations were related to a drug shipment that the police had gotten a hold of at the airport.

This event signifies the violence that goes on around the world because of drugs.I think this event is going to make the citizens of Mexico City be more cautious of their surroundings and pay more attention to what's going on in their city. I also believe the police departments there are going to increase their security to make sure more of these crimes don't occur again. Also increased security at national and global airports to make sure no drugs are able to be smuggled past state and country borders.

The thinker I've chosen is Beccaria. Beccaria would be disgusted by this article, the first thing he would think about would be the violence the two victims must have been treated with, he would view it as inhumane and abusive. He would have no support for this situation, I assume he would be 110% against this abuse against innocent people. If he disliked guilty criminals getting violently abused, he would hate the idea of non guilty people being physically harmed to the extent of death. Beccaria would loathe to even think of the torture and pain the victims could have gone through.
