Dictatorship in North Korea

I can not believe that North Korea still uses nuclear bombs, it feels like the ruler don't take good control of that place. I don't think the people really likes the ruler they are just afraid to stand up for them selves or probably they just don't want to get killed. And i also can't believe Bush didn't really care for it either. To me it is shocking that know North Korea still uses nuclear bombs i thought right now not a lot of places uses nuclear bombs.

Animal Rights (Part 2)

Do you want to know where your meat comes from? Well if you do i hope you check out this site http://www.themeatrix.com/

-Do we have the right to kill animals to eat?
Well it have to depend on what kind of situation. Like you could say how the animal is raised whether by faring, big or small farm, or hunting. If it was me i would prefer hunting. I know I know some of the people out there might think that hunting is cruel and it is not right to shoot them. But from my point of view, the way i think is right is by hunting since it has live a great life being in the wild, being free, and not trapped inside a fence or a cage. If it is in the forest then it must have a happy life, if it was you would you rather die free or die inside a cage. So why not kill an animal after it had a great life there is nothing wrong with that. If it was farming it is completely different, because if it is in a farm the animals in the farm will not get the freedom to roam around, it will be trapped inside a cage. If it was you, then you probably would not live a happy life in a cage, so when you kill it when it did not even get a chance to be free then it would be king of sad. Someone might say well you are putting it out of its misery, well that is not true because maybe the animal wants to be free and be happy before it is killed. But then again it has to depend on the size of the farm because normally big farm as corporation that means the cows, chickens, and pigs are all raised with machines. And the small one which i might agree to is the one where people treat them nicely feed what is suppose to be fed.

So finally to the end you might say what does all this got to do with if we could eat those animals or not. Well the answer is everything, because eating an animal is not just a simple process, people feed it with machines with medicines/ grass and then kill it. The ones that did not live a happy life should not be killed and should also be set free. And the ones that did have a happy life has the right to be killed.

For more information please go to the site i put above and go check out what is really behind the meats. And no this site is not one of the reading sites this is a site for you to watch movies( It is quite fun)

Right to live?

- What is a right?
A right is something that you are allowed, it is something that you don't need to earn but there are quite a few ways that you could loose them. There are different rights for different people depending on your maturity and weather or not you are responsible. To me a right is something that already exist it just came out of nowhere, like already have the right to kill animals, other people don't grant you that right. It feels like it already exist in the world. Like you already have the right to kill a mosquito if it sucks your blood, it is not granted to you by someone else.

-What animals would we have the right to dissect(why) Which animals don't we have the right to dissect.(Why)
Basically the animals that we have the rights to dissect is something small such as frogs, shrimp, fish etc. Because when you think about it frogs and shrimp does not really effect us in such a big way. It may feel wrong that you are killing an animal just for one class, but it is for a meaningful reason not just for fun. We know it is still a sacrifice but we are taking something that is not a meaning to the world.

The animals that i think we do not have a right to dissect is dogs, cats and other big animals. Because we need animals like that they can protect us, and also when you dissect a big animal it does a big effect on us. You might think what is the difference between the big and the small, well it basically is the same as us the human being. The adults sometimes has more rights then the kids because they could help the world more and they are more mature and responsible in a few ways.

Reflection on video

When i saw all those crowds worshiping the dictators i was sort of shocked. I could not believe so much people would worship them. It feels like the people would do anything to join the crowd. In my point of view if the people did not show patriotism they would probably get killed or maybe they would probably get captured and be persuaded to believe it. Even though questioning is a small thing but i don't think the dictators would like it.

Reflections on news

Dramatic rescue for flood victims
I thought that it was shocking, just by looking at the picture i thought of "wow". I hope that no one got hurt because of that. Looking at all those people who were stranded make me glad that i am at a safe home with a safe family. Just because of some rainfall caused houses to be gone and schools, i keep wondering what the people will do.

Family "government"

Probably i would be the leader with more power and my husband would be the person with power but less then mine. The way that power would be managed is probably with voting for some situations. Like if it is like saying where we like to go on weekends it would probably be like a vote for everyone in the family, but if it is something serious like going to which schools then that will be decided by me and my husband. The positives are that probably the family would have more freedom since they could vote. The problems might be that some people may be angry if they did not get what they wanted.

Greece Research

I think that my research is going very well, i finished answering all my questions. And now i am starting to find pictures and start to make my movie. I think that i finished about half of my project about now.

growth on student outcomes

Active Learner: In progress, I think that i showed i am a active learner because i pay attention to the things that my friends and teacher are talking about. I try my best in doing my homework and doing my projects. But i need to improve on the skill to ask more questions when i have some.

Community Contributor: Demonstrates. Often my friends as me questions, even though those are not hard question but i answer them anyways, just to help them out. If i can not answer the question i would try, and give it a shot or simply search up the answer. But i need to see if people needs help or not instead of them asking for help.

Person of High Character: Demonstrates. I show that i am a person of high character because i do my journals for every class when ever i need to do it. Even though i do not say anything bad about my friends in class not that i do out side of classes. But i need to be more positive about somethings in class, and have a sense of humor when things are down. For example, even though we might have a project, i should not moan about it instead i should think that at least we get to do it in i movie. And i get to watch other people's presentations and they get to look at mine.

Effective Communicator: In progress. I listen to other people when they talk, i even payed attention to the Greece movie, but i need to ask more questions when i have a questions.

Critical Thinkers & Problem Solver: Exemplifies. I look up for answers for my project. I do hard researches when i need to find an answer even though i do not ask a lot of questions. Often when i have a word i do not understand i will go look it up in the dictionary.

Comment for blog

Hackers Assault Epilepsy Patients via Computer
I think that it is shocking that hackers would such a thing to harm people. I thought that hackers only do damage to the computers but this is way past the limit, trying to hurt people with Epilepsy. It may not kill those people but it may seriously hurt them.
