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!

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.

In that time building it their were 500 people died every mile, but in a total of deaths they said around 25,000.

Q:Explore the website for the School of the Americas Watch, an anti-SOA organization that calls for its closing. Look at some of the groups arguments against the SOA. Should the United States be able to operate such an organization and train people in the practice of the coup d'etat? Use the facts from the SOA site to help you formulate your argument. Blog about it.
A: Yes, because it's for their own defense towards the "School of Assasins".

Q:During the Spanish American War, yellow journalism was used by American newspapers to gain support for the war. Check out the PBS website Crucible of Empire, and their story about yellow journalism during the war. After gaining an understanding for the concept, find an example of how yellow journalism is used today. For this post, quote a news headline and then comment on how it relates to yellow journalism used during the war. Blog about it.
A: Well one example of yellow journalism used today is false information magazines like when you see the front cover of a magazine and its covering the face of someones body and then making sure theirs a bad statement so you see and it will pull you immediately in wanting to know more, but really the only thing your looking at is things being blowed up by magnifications . And now these days anyone has access to programs for their computers that edit bodies or anything. So with that high technology you can do anything to humilate anyone.
"The Jeans No Man Should Ever Own"
This magazine title is an example of yellow jouralism. And it relates to the wars jouralists because even then magazines were doing anything to grab people's attention through their writing, so they could get the most profit.

Answer:
I think the struggles in this job is that you have to train these broncos, and sometimes their not always cooperative. By trying to train them it's an all day job, working really hard by training the broncos by what is right and wrong and what they should and should not be doing. Feeding, grooming, cleaning up after them, maybe even getting them sold to a new owner. Maybe your a breeder and you get two broncos to make a new born then you train them and then they get sold. Realities of this job is that you really have to try, and truly care to make them the strongest they are capable of being.

The country guys were very country did not like black men, very racist. They didnt believe that black people should be treated like white folks.

Question: During Reconstruction there was great debate over whether the South should be granted amnesty. What are your thoughts? Defend your argument.
Answer: The south did basically get pitty because of Lincolns choice. Lincoln did not want to punish the southerners, or reorganize the southern society. He also wanted the reconstruction to be a very short process, he did not want to have to spend a long time or alot of thought even in this reconstruction. But i feel that the south should get pitty because if Lincoln did not want to spend alot of time on them he didn't feel it as a necessary concern.
