1. AIG is the American International Group, which is a massive insurance company. AIG has reported to have lost $62 billion during the last quarter.

2. The federal governmet previously took action to help AIG by giving them more money.

3. If AIG doesn't get federal aid then thousands of jobs will be lost, more business will be lost, and consumer confidence will take another hit. Some say AIG should not be bailed out because they're greedy.

4. If the company isn't a major business then I don't think the government should help, but if it will cause an even bigger negative effect in America and push our country farther down the toilet, then I think they should help them.

5. Dow Jones' average lost 300 points yesterday. Dow Jones lost more than 2,000 points this year, which sets a record for Dow Jones.

6. Taliban fighters have been clashing with Pakistani forces in places like the Swat Valley. Taliban has been capturing more and more territory along the border.

7. I think the international community should play a big part in the fight because if they don't settle this, other countries may join and it could turn into World War 3 or something.

8. In Iran the art scene is turning into a hot-bed. Artist featured in the report are designers, gallary owners and art buyers.

9. It might be surprising for an artistic revival to be taking place in Iran because everybody thinks that the place just fights wars with every other country, plus they aren't usually allowed to express themselves. The public responded to the flourishing Iranian art scene by going every weekend. They all love it.


10. I am the complete opposite of artistic. I can't do anything artistic if my life depended on it.

5.The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost nearly 300 points yesterday and has lost more than 2,000 points so far this year. That is the worst start in the 113-year history of the Dow. The index is used to gauge how the whole stock market is doing, and right now, that answer is definitely not good.

6.Taliban Fighters have been clashing with Pakistani forces in the country's tribal areas, places like the Swat Valley, with both sides claiming victory in different parts of the region. Stan Grant has more on the fighting

7.I feel like they should just try and find some way to end the fight as quickly as possible because its a mess with any fight.

10.Well if you consider writing music a part of creating art then i guess i can say yes. When I write my music, I always try and create pictures with my words so that people who listen to it can try and relate.

1. What is the American International Group (AIG)? What was AIG's reported loss during the last quarter? What is the significance of this statistic?

* AIG is a major insurance company. AIG's reported loss during the last quarter was $62 million.

2. According to the report: What action has the federal government previously taken to help AIG? How is the U.S. government augmenting its initial bailout of AIG?

4. In your opinion, should the government help companies that continue to struggle after receiving federal bailout funds? Explain.

* I think the government should not help companies that they have already given federal bailout funds to. The companies should have used the money they recieved to help themselves out in the longrun. If they need more money obviously they did not use it properly. Instead of handing money to them whenever they want it, the government should let them fend for themselves and let them get themselves out of their situation.

10. Do you engage in any types of artistic expression? If so, have you ever encountered any challenges in creating your art? Explain.
