1. the belief that was strengthen this year was the one of individuality because this year we studied all the people who made a difference and they made that difference due to them being different. they went against the things that they saw that were not right. they stood up for what they believed in and fought till they could not fight no more. 2. however a belief that has been question is the belief of everybody making a difference in the world because we only went through the people who did make a difference in the world and that got me thinking that not everybody can make a difference. they have to be that special person that is not scared to go stand up for what they want. 3. i have no idea yet as ... read more
This event is taking place in the United States.The people involved are the Boy Scouts of America and boys who are denied to become scouts because of their sexual orientation. The right to no discrimination is being violated. Boys who are not heterosexual were getting discriminated against because they couldn't become a scout ;a vote took place Thursday and a law will be put into effect January 1st that anyone boy can become a boyscout. Now all they are fighting for is to get Boy Scouts of America to allow homosexual men to become scout leaders. I believe that anyone who wants to become a scout or scout leader should become a scout or scout leader. I believe there shouldn't be any discrimination against homosexuals. To add on to this they should allow homosexuals to get ... read more

Workers can also form trade unions without permission from factory owners. The rights that were violated were the right to just and favorable conditions of work. Their working conditions weren't that safe. A solution would to have working conditions evaluated more regularly.... read more
It seems the only way we get a point across is by violence. The British don’t want to give us freedom so we do what we have to do we beat them at war. The southerners didn’t want to listen to the Northerners when they said that slavery was wrong which lead to the civil war which eventually got slaves freedom. There are some good things that came out of violence so I do believe that violence is a good to make a point. It’s hard for an idea to come to life because everyone’s perception of the idea is different which in turn complicates things.... read more
i think the united states government should keep and abide by the contract that their predecessors made because if it was not for the contracts that were made with the Indian nations america would not be here considering the fact that most of this land is native american land. i think that if the government does not follow by their contract they are not just going to lose land but they are going to put the people in a war that is not necessary just because we want more land that is not needed. i also think that the Indians are not doing anything bad because they are not forcing people to go to their casinos. the people use those casinos as a way to blow off steam and a way to get fast money or ... read more

1)if i had the choice to llive in the new world or in the old world based only on food i would choose the old world because i get more variety of food and there seems to be more vegetables than there is in the new world so that should make me eat a little bit more healthy.Also because they seem to have alot more meat and it actually looks more tasteful than what the new wolrd has. 2)i choose to interview my dad and the five foods that i gave him from the new world were racoon.llama. beans.corn.and pineapple. for racoon he said that it was old world, for llama he said old world, for beans he said new world, for corn he said both old and new world, and for pineapple he said new ... read more
1)piracy continues to exist in the modern world the same way because they are still at sea and steal from other ships but the only difference now is that there is so much high technology out there that they use it to their advantage and get more dangerous. 2)now pirates have more sophisticated technololgy that allows them to stay at sea for a longer time period. they also have more ways to steal from other ships and they find new faster routes to other places that are in their mind. 3)they pay pirates, tried to create a sophisticated highly trained fighting force. i tihnk there is no other way because pirates are dangerous and will not talk it out and lose their jobs so i believe this it the only way they can try to stop ... read more
The article is explaining Columbus’s actions when he was in the Americas. It talked about how badly he treated the Native Americans. It also explains why some people want to get rid of the holiday Columbus Day. They don’t believe he should be celebrated since he tortured so many people’s lives. I was appalled when I read this because I could not believe some of the things Columbus was doing to the Native Americans. I only thought slaves were treated this way back then. I wonder why he thought he can come and claim land that was already claimed. Just because the Native Americans look different doesn’t make them any less human. We are learning about maps and different travelers. This article is talking about Columbus exploration when he came from Spain to the Americas.... read more
