Do you believe the world is getting better? Why or why not?

Do i believe that if the world is getting better? I think that the world is getting worser. I think that because the world is being polluted. There is more and more violence in the world. The world is getting worser because of global warming. I think that soon that some animals that are existing already will go extinct. Global warming will cause many weather problems. Global warming will also cause many supplies to go low .
I believe that the world, is getting worser because the o-zone layer is already getting thin. We already have enough weather issues. When global warming gets worser we will be feeling mother earths fury. A lot of animals are already suffering enough because of mother nature. They are suffering more because of what human kind is doing to the planet.The world is getting worser because the crimes on the streets have grown every where. The crimes haven't just increased in America but in the whole world. If you go to a nation the first thing you here on their news is a crime.

1. What would it take for the whole world to go to war? Describe in a paragraph? 2. Do you believe that the world will ever be at peace?

What would it take for the whole world to go to war? Do you believe that the world will ever be at peace?I think what it takes for a whole world to go to war is that if nations are devided on an idea. If a nation wants every nation to think the same way they attack their neighboring nation, then allies of that nation attacks other nations and that's how you get a world war one. Let's take the example of World War II. Hitler wanted to make the world one culture. He also blamed other nations for his nations problems.Then they started to attack other nations.Those nations that are attacked attack other nation . War Worlds start because of dumb leaders who think that the whole world should be his or theirs. So those dumb leaders start attacking all their neighboring nations and blame it on other nations.
Do i think that the world will ever be at peace? No, i don't think the world will ever be at peace.The reason i believe that is because war has always been around. Yes, we might be able have peace in our country, but not the whole world. As long as their is human kind their will always be a war. There will always be someone who will fight for the cause of peace but their will always be others who oppose those ideas. I would like to see the whole world be at peace only if was for two minuets. I don't say this because i don't want to let anyone try on the contrary i want to see someone try.

How does imperialism continue in our day? What are ways that people can fight against imperialism?

How does imperialism continue in our day?What are ways that people can fight against imperialism? A way imperialism for example is like Iraq. Iraq is an example of imperialism today. Iraq has oil industries and the reason we're in Iraq is to own the oil industries. Another example is Iran we already control their government but it's not enough for our government, they want to have more of Iran. Another example of imperialism is the example of McDonald's. How is McDonald's part of imperialism? McDonald's, has the largest restaurant industries. There is always a McDonald's. It's global. Wal-Mart also participates in imperialism. Wal-mart takes over little markets, or super centers when they are going out of business.
The ways we can prevent imperialism is little. Imperialism is every where so there isn't much to do to prevent imperialism. It's not just every where it's in everyone. We could try to send a letter to an owner of an imperialism companies like Wal-Mart or something like that. The reason Wal-mart has imperialism is that everyone goes and buys products at Wal-Mart so there forth we support Wal-Mart. We can stop Wal-Mart by stop buying their products.For McDonald's we can stop buying their food. We can protest against McDonald's.You can try to something to stop imperialism. Just try not to use violence.Good luck.

What should America do in our foreign policy? How should we respond to other nations ?

What should America do in our foreign policy? How should we respond to other nations ? First about the foreign policy, i don't know how America interacts around the world. I know that Bush didn't try to interact with Iraq. I think America interacts with other Nations by the United Nations. I think that we shouldn't get involved in other nations and try to practice imperialism with them right now. If we do try to change other nations then we will be the cause of another world war. The way we should respond to other nations is, being respectful to other nations, and help them out with their problems ,if that nation needs hep. The reason why we should help other nations is because if we need help maybe that nation won't hesitate to help.

Imperialism with Iraq

I think that the war with Iraq is a sign of imperialism because, Bush wants to own oil instead of buying it. Some people think that the war with Iraq was because of nuclear weapons. Some people think that the war was also about the terrorism here in America caused by Iraq. The truth is that none of those are the reasons. The really reason is about oil. All Americans are dieing because of oil. Bush wants to own oil and decided to send young Americans to die. Oil is worth a lot of money that's why Bush wants to own oil. That's why i think the war with Iraq is a sign of imperialism.
I think we should continue the war with Iraq. I want it to continue because a lot of soldiers have given their lives to protect America. I think it would be a waste of their memories that we just give up. If we do give up the war what will the government do about the soldiers families? Well obviously they are just going to give them a medal and that's it. That medal won't take away a families grief and loss. I want the war with Iraq to end. I also don't want the soldiers memories be in vain for nothing.

Imperialism

Paragraph #1 - What are ways that America participated in imperialism in the past?

Paragraph #2 - Are we still an imperialist nation? Have we improved at all since the early 1900's?

Ways that America participated in imperialism in the past was the war with the Spanish to conquer Cuba. How did they participate? Well they saw that Cuba wanted their own independence. Since they wanted their own independence they didn't have enough equipment to fight them with. So, America helped Cuba get their own independence and then when they were free America conquered them. They practiced imperialism with Hawaii. Americans went over to Haw ii all armed. They put a gun to the queens head and said they want to buy Hawaii. That's how they practiced imperialism.
Yes we are still practicing imperialism. We are practicing imperialism with Iraq. How are we practicing imperialism with them? Well,people thought that the war with Iraq was about Terrorist. Well, that is not true, because they war with Iraq is because Bush want oil. I think that if bush wants oil then why did he go to Egypt to get some oil?If Bush thinks he can win this war, well i would like to see him win.

What does this cartoon mean?Dou you think America still practices imperialism?

I think this picture means that America thinks of them self's big and mightier than any other nation. I think this because the bald eagle is bigger and standing on top of America and all the other nation's symbols are very small. This picture is trying to say " We are bigger and better than any other country." I think this picture represents what they thought of in 1878 so that was then. What does the government think now? I think they still have the same idea that they are greater but a little less above their head.At the same time the eagle has a posture of protection. It's like if it's trying to protect the other nations. That posture is sort of true, because America would protect their allies.
I think America still practices imperialism because even though they are not powerful by land they are by money. People thought that the war with Iraq is about terrorism and land,(that's what i thought), but it's about oil. I really don't know why Bush would be in Egypt negotiating for oil if they are fighting for oil.I didn't think that America would be imperialism because they seemed very nice but since i entered fifth grade i have noticed more that America is imperialism, but they do that's what the war with Iraq is about. America doesn't practice imperialism that much with many nations but only with Iraq. I really don't think that a war for oil is a very good idea because we have other allied nations with oil.

Why do nations practice imperialism? Why would a nation try and take over another nation?

A country would practice imperialism first because they want to know if they are capable of taking over another country. If they can't control their country first then they shouldn't control another country. A reason why a nation would try taking over another nation is because they want power.Some nations think that the only way to show the world your greatness is by starting to rule one nation at a time. Some nation might show their greatness in the wrong way. A second reason they would want to take over another nation is that they want natural resources. They would want hotel, mine, and all that kind of stuff you would want from your neighbors.That is why nations would take over other nations. I also think they would want to take over another nation, for money. They would only attack if that nation is weak and vulnerable.

Dialouge between someone in the imperialism

" Hey our country is strong and powerful."
"Yeah, so do you have plan or something?"
"Yes. You know that one country next to us?"
"Yeah what about them?
" Well I heard they haven't been doing so good."
"Yeah what do they have to do with our country?"
" Nothing. Not yet of course."
"What are you trying to say?"
" I think we should invade them to make our country more powerful and feared.!"
" Dude, i say this because i care i think you're losing it!"
" How it's such a good idea."
" Hello, we can't just declare war over them! They are our allies!"
" So? Your point is?"
" Well, they helped us during the war with ... ooh man what was that countries name... ooh but you know who I'm talking bout."
" So. They helped us because they felt pity for us."
" Pity or not what are we going to do? Just walk in there and say, hey we want to have your country's our own!!"
" Well, no."
" Well, then if we don't want our countries population to fall then we shouldn't declare war."
" Well i don't want our country to fall apart.. so i guess we shouldn't."
" Yeah do you have a better plan?"
" Yeah i think i do."
" What is it now?"
" Well do you know that country across the Pacific ocean?"
"Yeah what about them?"
" Well i think we should help them so that way people think good of us."
" Yeah that is such a better idea"

When is it okay to intervene in another nation's business? Write one paragraph about when it is okay to intervene and a second paragraph about when i

The time we should intervene in a nation's business is when, that nation asks for advice. Why that specific time is because maybe the government wants to know a better way to attract tourist . Maybe that nation wants to know how they can improve their government.If a government is planning to start a war, well of course we have to intervene if it's a war against us we have to try and negotiate. If that government is planning to start a war with a different nation maybe we should ask why they are planning something like that and if it is one of our allies then maybe we should talk them out of planning a war.If there is an allied nation that they are going to siege or something like that of course America has to intervene. We should warn our Allie and then we could try talking things out but i don't they would want to talk about negotiation.
I don't think intervening is such a good thing because if you don't want someone or a Nation to get in your business they are still going to intervene. If you find out someone was intervening you wouldn't feel right talking on the phone if someone is listening to your conversation. If someone or a nation was interning in our nation well your going to think

Paragrah#1 Where does racism come from? Paragraph #2 How can people stop racism from spreading?

I think racism comes from one another its like fire spreading from person to person until it's in everyone. Racism starts with confusion and then it starts invading what you think about that race until you finally start hating them. When people get the wrong idea from one person from a different idea of someone and their from a different race then they start getting all races. Racism starts from rumors on what they start from other races and then some people hear them then they start getting the wrong idea and then they start feeling insecure about that race and they start hating them. Racism starts like if you don't know a person that is from a different race your afraid to ask and if that person is a trouble maker of course your gonna think that all people of that race act like that.
I don't think it's possible fro racism to stop because you can't control what people think about each race. There will always be races people but no one can do anything about it. Racism is a part of life. If racism is done then people would have to understand each other. I don't even think someone can achieve racism peace. But if there is someone who is willing to do something about racism i would be willing to help. There will always be someone that will oppose you on your ideas so it will be hard to stop racism to stop.I would try and make people from other races get together and talk about each of everyone's races and then everyone could talk about what they think about some races and is they dislike someone then we would try to convince that not all people from that race are like that.

Is it our job to keep America save?

I think it is our job to protect America. I think this because we as kids are the future of America. Right now America isn't doing so well with the topic of immigration but maybe in the future someone will fix it. If we don't protect America, America will fall and everyone in it will stop prospering and start losing a lot of money and everything. We can make America better if we put effort into it.America whether we want to believe it or not is our home as long as we're in it we have to protect it.If we don't protect America there will be no country all the immigrants can come and live a better life. Some people and i believe you do too have a lot of cherished memories here and if we don't protect America no one will and there will be no memories that can be cherished.A lot of soldiers die protecting America and they don't even get recognized i would think that if we don't protect America they would have died for no reason.
I also disagree with it being our job protecting America because if the president and some people don't put their part of the weight then why should people go fight wars and protect America if no one is willing to help.I don't see why we should waste our time protecting America if everyone trashes America and says nasty thing about America.

What would I say to our next president?

What i would ask is what will he or she do about immigration? The reason i will ask them about immigration is because will immigrants still be afraid to come out of their homes or go anywhere? Will all immigrants be able to stay in America? I would want to know if they or going to fix the idea of immigration or will they continue to be injustice to all the immigrants. If they would still continue to follow the steps of George Bush. I would ask them to change the law of immigration because there are a lot of immigrants that work so hard to make a living and they know that they are illegal, and that one day just deport them back to Mexico or whatever country they came from. Immigrants make up America without them there will be no America. I would be disappointed that if the new president doesn't clean up some of the immigration law and just continues the work of the present president.

I would also ask him/her what are they going to do about the war in Iraq. I think i should ask them about the war because there are a lot of young lives being lost. There are a lot of families grieving on the lost of a family member or Friend. I would ask him/her that if they plan to end the war with Iraq soon or will there still be another couple years of war?Would there be peace with other countries? I want this war to end not just me but many other people. There is a saying that we read out of a book and it goes like this "Old people declare war but it is the young that must fight it. There are soldiers who would fight long and hard for just a piece of colored ribbon." i don't remember who said that but i don't think this saying is right, because it is true but there are soldiers who die trying to earn a ribbon or medal just for fighting. The first part of it is also true because you never see the president fight in the war you see all the young people.

My Goals for third and fourth quarter.

1.Work harder on my grades
2. Try to get better skills on my violin and learn harder music
3. Be a better person to the community

For third and fourth quarter i want to get my grade higher. A way i can try to get my grades up is study for my test longer and pay a bit more attention to my teacher that i need help on. I want to show my parents that i can pull my grades up higher if i work harder. I am going to start working on my grades this quarter all the way up to the end of the school year. I will try to focus harder and try to understand more about what the question asks me than just looking at it and writing something down. For my violin i will try to take my violin home more often and practice my music everyday. To learn harder music i will ask my mom or dad to take me to a music store to buy harder music.I also want to be a better person t the community by helping more people and doing extra community service hours even if i go beyond three to five hours i want to help our community more than i have the past quarters. These are my goals and my plans on how to accomplish them.
