In the News: Gas Prices

The gas prices will eventually go back up dramtically because we are so dependent on them. We use them for everything and most importantly to get around so them being down is just a little break that we are getting , but it will not last very long.

The gas prices were so high before because they were not being managed properly so that we would be prepared for the economic crisis that came and put the country and its leader in a serious bind and all that he could do was put a higher price on such a necessity because we were using it up. If more information had been shared to the public and th government would have put more effort for us to use and have alternative sources of fuel theywould not have gone so high.

I would first pull away from the dependency of having to use gas as our only source of fuel. Gas will run out one day and as president I would makesure that we have an alternate source will help us to keep up our normal lives or maybe inhance it. Most definitely I would keep the prices low and managable and not cause a state of panic by raising them to where it would go down into the history books. We need to try new things or the worst will come and I don't think we are ready to handle that.

In the News: Poverty

The blame does not go on just one party becuase some don't want to get out of the situation they are in because they feel that they don't fit anywhere else. Yes some do have no choice in some cases where it is the country that they live in not just the close knit society around them, but in a country such as America there is no excuse why a person does not live well.

It is the governments fault in those other countries why the things that go on like poverty, crime, and other inhuman things happen to the people. Corrupted officials and lack of police security allows those types of situations to spread and become uncontrollable to the point where it becomes a national problem and is seen by the world. It is never a persons fault in situations like the ones in some other countries where a person is forced to live that life because it has been that way for many many years and is apart of their history.

It is never too late to fight because a person who has been lost to that life cannot be saved, but a child or a person willing and ready for a change should always be given a chance. It is up to us to provied that opportunity so that this plague can be erraticated.

I would definitely help with all my power if i had the means or try to convince those who do to do so. A person can make it on their own, but with a little bit of help the sky is the limit.

The only other more important thing to spend on other than poverty is sickness which can come from poverty as well so anyway you look at it is still helping the problem.

In the News: GM and Other Bailouts

Yes I do think that they should save GM, but only if GM wants to cooperate and get other help in trying to help them manage the money so that this wont happen again if a crisis happens. If the goverment elects to give GM the help then another team of financial experts should team up with theirs to help them attain a better plan to have when an economic crisis like this ever comes about again.

No they should not just focus on all the other companies becuase they are all important one is not more important than the other whether or not it is a smaller or larger company. Only if it was a last resort and it would completely save our economy should the government ever just completely give up on such a major industry and is this case it is not because it can still be preserved and it should be.

No all the other industries will not fail, but it will make very dramatic changes to each of them with it being such a large entity. If GM were to fail maybe one or two of the smaller comapnies may not survive without, but no all will fail completely because they don't rely soley on their sales, but it would be a maor blow.

In the news-Jose Canseco

I dont believe that Jose was in the right of giving the names of his fellow players. He should've just dealt with this own his own. I think the only positive thing of performace enhancing drugs is that it will enhance youre performance but the negative is it can affect your body by making you sick or even the possibliy of a person finding out. I think that a lot of people try to use steriods but dont really get to far because they do drug testing now. Back then they did alot thats why now you see athletes such as Marion Jones getting caught.

in the news

I do think that the new elected president can bring change although it will take awhile it can and will be done. Us as a country have to help with that, this man can not do it on his own.

in the news

I think Obama won this election because he had a lot of help from different people and most of all the lord. Obama talked a about change and that it is possible with being in the condition that we are in. Many people wanted that for so long and we finally got it.

IN THE N3WS

There are numerous things that can be done to save jobs. The president helping with the economic activity. Just really get the levels of credit and evrything else back to where it used to be.

JOURNAL ENTRY # 9

1. Fast food can kill you

2. none

3. Fast food can kill you because of so much fat in the food and not enough excercise

to work it off.

1. A guy's 18th birthday is really not free to drink but free to go to war.

2. A guy at age 18 can't drink because according to the America it is bad and dangerous but it's okay to get drafted where it's not dnagerous.

3. In America's eyes it is bad for an 18 year old guy to drink but ok for him to get drafted.

In the news #7

i think that it does make sense for children to have a mock election because they will have the chance to see what a real election could possibly be like. 8 thru 11 might be getting the information from their parents but i think that a 13 yr old has a pretty good idea whats going on by their themselves even though parents do have some what of an inlfluence. no i don't think it's accurate because that's just like us saying we can pick the right candidate no one really knows until that days comes.

PROJECT 2

These days life leads you to believe that if you are rich and famous then you won’t have any problems and your life is set. If you have loads and loads of cash, a big house and fancy cars then you have no issues and nothing to worry about. Also if your wealthy that everybody will be your friend and that you will get that special someone with no problem. That belief of being rich will cure all your problems and bring you everything you need is totally wrong in a lot of ways. Being rich is great, but its not the answer to all of your problems because money is just an object and material items can’t bring a person happiness. A persons personality is what counts not what there bank account balance is. Someone could have all of the money in the world, but if they have a bad attitude and is a rude person it doesn’t matter they won’t be liked or loved genuinely. Having money will only bring a false sense of security making a person think they will have everything they will ever need but money can’t buy happiness. Love and true friendship can only come from people liking you for who you are not for what you have. Values and beliefs should only be about being a better person through self realization and self worth not material worth because materials items can be taken away, but true love for self is something that will always be with you and is what people really see.In conclusion being defined by your personality and not what you can buy will always out weigh living for money, fame and fortune. Someone once said “what is it for a man to gain the whole world but loose his soul.” Love yourself and people will love you for being you not for what you have.

In The News 7

I do think the trooper did this intentionally because he made that statement he couldn't give a real reason as to why he said what he said. There are plenty of caucasian troopers who do wrong things to African Americans it's sad but racism is still out there. Some people do feel that the law can't go wrong so if one chooses to bring up a lawsuit against higher authority the chances are you wouldnt get to far. The punishment is reasonable but if the man died he shouldnt be able to work for the police anymore.

In The News 6!!!

Animals do have a sense of feeling and do when pain is taking place. In my pshycology class the same question came up. How could one say that animals dont have feelings and dont know whats happening to them? If a dog gets beat they can feel that and know whats going on to them. We should treat animals as a human beings. I do feel that it would make people in general a better person. The abuse against animals is obsurd and shouldn't be done.

In the news 5

I think people use splenda as much as 3 times a day. I know that if my mom and i go to a resturant and we order lemonade or tea we use splenda to add more flavor to it. If there is ever a need for it i think people will use splenda as much as needed.

IN THE NEWS 4!!

I think that parents should test their childern for cancer at early age for many reasons. The earlier you find out the more time you will have to treat or find a cure for the cancer. I don't see why it would be a problem to test at young age. Yes it will be hard for the family finding out if the child has cancer but one shouldn't just wait around and find out later to realize it was or is to late to do something about it.

IN THE NEWS 2

I think that the border fences for meixco is crazy because if they put up a fence aorund there to keep terriost from coming then they should all around america. Terriost are people we cant really define they come from nowhere.

The two essays i chose were compelling by the titles, they were very intriguing. They used different stories of racial experiences thru out their lives and explain how they chose to deal with it. Both of the essays were actually in a serious n reflective tone. There similar in ways that deal with acceptance from America. They differ in ways where one deals with interracial relationship and the other childern accepting the color of their skin. The essyas do follow the writing guidelines.Some of the beliefs i might want to write about are race, love, or forgivness.
