People found these very itchy and uncomfortable they were also made of this material that wouldnt dry easily at all so if they get wet they stayed wet for days.

week 5: poster

week 5: 2

Hello to principals around the world,
My concern is that all around the world school teachers are denying some things that happen in history because they feel as if it is unimportant or maybe unnessacary. My feelings towards that is,coming from a history teacher that teaches everything that has happened in history I feel its important to learn stuff that has to deal with the Rape of Nanking because that was a big thing back in the day that happened. Many students have no idea what that even was. Some never heard about it. The rape of nanking has to deal with the Japanesse and them "breaking people down" until they die a long painful death . Dr congo which one another problem we had during the years. It was when the men would make their sons rape people or the men would rape women. Most students should be able to be mature enough to take it serious, and we will always have the ones who find it funny. Stuff that is that big in history made us what we are today. I think its extremely important to know what has happened especially when it was that serious.

week 3 weekly article

Q: Over the past few weeks a non-profit organization known as WikiLeaks has dropped bombshells with the release (or "leaks) of important classified documents from governments around the world. The argument from the organization is that they want to keep governments "open" about their issues and policy. Read some articles about the WikiLeaks debaucle and express your thoughts about the global issue. This post should be in the format of a letter to the editor of a major newspaper expressing your opinion (an OpEd).
Hello my name is Meagon L. and i have been doing some research about the whole wikileaks and i feel like its not a good thing even though our country should be telling us somethings so we are aware. Their is just somethings that shouldn't be put out their for millions of people to see, with our country fighting wars and stuff their is going to be problems and mess ups. but it doesn't mean for the world to see. The man or women who is leaking this stuff to the man who invited wikileaks is wrong and should be arrested. People our hired to work in our armies and government etc. and when you get the job you sign to make sure they can trust you its not so you can show how bad the world really is, everyone likes to think that the world is going good and with somethings being to harsh it just makes everyone really upset and makes us put hate towards our government and makes our armies or marines look like they don't know what they're doing. That can cause some serious drama, and danger among us. What happens if we find something we can do back to this mans country to get him back, would we take it ? would we leave it alone ? what is the world coming to!

Week 7 # 2

Q: Your squad breaches the door of a suspected insurgent safe-house. After securing the building and flex-cuffing six people found inside, one of your team members finds materials typically used in making IEDs (bombs) under some floor tiles. There is reliable intelligence that the IEDs are also being assembled in another location nearby. Unfortunately, this location has not yet been specifically identified. Finding this other "bomb factory" is a vary high priority.
a. How should you treat these detained prisoners?
b. What are some potential long and short-term repercussions if any of these detainees are mistreated?

A: Give them a chance to speak and say everything they've seen throughout all this and you seperate them. Then they should be arrested.
B.Lack of morale in your squad, distrust of people in private and public , legal ramifietions

Week 7

Q: Check out the Wordles for the United States Declaration of War and the German Response to the United States. In a short blog post predict what you think was the tone of the US declaration of war. Also, discuss what you think the German response said.

A: By looking at the pictures i felt that there were many different things and many feelings going on with both the pictures. In the first picture their were words like selfish, many lives were involved . Im getting the feeling their tone is alittle on the good side and mostly on the down side . Its more on the positive side, their innocent and responsible.
Now with the German response this tone is alittle more harsh theirs things going on like warfare. Bloodshed, questions,bloockade are all words leading to wars i feel like the tone is upsetting and maybe their letting people down and theirs so many responsiblities maybe some workers couldnt find the time or the drive to finish their things.
