I am still disturbed by the thought of Koenig stomping around communities that she clearly does not understand, digging up small, generally inconsequential details about the people inside of them, and subjecting it all to that inimitable “This American Life” process of tirelessly, and sometimes gleefully, expressing her neuroses over what she has found.
Keonig did lose some some of her Ethos in serial by making judgments about topics and making comments about peoples ethnicity that really had little meaning and only took away some of her credibility. I did not notice most of the things that gave so much conflict to Keonig's story. Even when she talked about race in the court room, i was only thinking that the purpose of Koenig bringing it up was only to give some of the possible outcome of the scenario. I felt that she was just laying out all the different things to let her listeners decide if they were actually right or not, putting herself at risk purposely. She should have used a different approach to her ideas, that would have been a much less of a controversy to her podcast. Kang defiantly destroyed much of the Ethos I previously had for Keonig. Pointing out many things that unfortunately skipped my mind when listening an annotating serial. This is for sure going to change the paper that is due.

“Her diary, by the way — well I’m not exactly sure what I expected her diary to be like but — it’s such a teenage girls diary.”
I do think that Koenig is being completely unfair to the characters Hae and Adnan. She used her knowledge to describe something in a matter to get her listeners to understand. I don't think she did a great job but i do think people got the wrong message out of this quote. I believe she was describing typical things that teenagers go through and struggle with at that particular age. Not singling out her race and the expectations that she may or may not have yet. To describe it i would say that, Koenig was playing with fire but did not get burnt. http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01657/fire-fest-2_1657096i.jpg

Hold the increase in the global average temperature [below 1.5 °C] [or] [well] [below 2 °C] above preindustrial levels by ensuring deep cuts in global greenhouse gas [net] emissions;
On ambition, Tine Sundtoft (Norway) outlined the questions posed to parties, including on how to: frame a possible reference to a 1.5 °C limit; identify an acceptable long-term goal for mitigation over different timeframes; have a common “global moment” every five years for taking stock and informing future nationally-determined efforts on mitigation, adaptation and support; and provide reassurances that the global stocktake would not impinge on national determination of commitments.
James Fletcher (Saint Lucia) said that, while several developed and developing country parties indicated willingness to refer to a 1.5 °C limit, others reaffirmed the temperature limit in the Cancun Agreements. He said there is general interest to express a collective long-term goal for mitigation, which could be expressed in quantitative or qualitative terms, such as a transformation to carbon neutrality or decarbonization. He also reported convergence on a common “global moment” every five years to take stock and review aggregate progress, and provide an opportunity to confirm or raise targets, but without an obligation to do so.

On differentiation, Vivian Balakrishnan (Singapore) characterized the INDCs as an “innovation” allowing all parties to operationalize their diverse starting points and make continuous improvements over time. He said that assurances of no backsliding and that developed countries would continue to take the lead “resonated strongly.”
