Uddrag
1.
Slightly different views on what caused the UK riots are presented in texts 1 and 2. In text 1, “Experts Cite Underlying Causes for UK Riots”, Al Pessin focusses on the wrong-doings of the rioters. He emphasizes the exploitation of the situation by many Londoners from African and Caribbean neighborhoods. Through the quotations from observers of the riots, a gloomy picture is painted of a group of people who have taken part in the looting and vandalism just for fun.

The tone in text 3 is very sharp (“The courts must be ruthless”, l. 14), urgent (“Parliament meets tomorrow”, l. 1, “The Sun demands decisive action”, l. 3, “Let's see it applied”, ll. 8-9) and aggressive (“smash the mobs whatever it takes”, l. 5, “tear gas and plastic bullets. They are there to be used.”, ll. 24-25)). It is evident from the tone that The Sun has a very negative attitude towards the rioters (“rioting morons”, l. 14), but also towards the government's handling of the matter (“Britain looks to Parliament to rise to the occasion and provide the leadership we have been lacking”, ll. 34-35).

In text 2, the importance of preventing incidents like the UK riots is underlined. The author argues that it is society's duty to invest in these less privileged groups of people. She points out that society has failed to reach out to these people and thus created a feeling of hopelessness, failure and social exclusion. I agree that such widespread riots must be taken very seriously.
