post 8-poverty solutions

Wealthy nation should be giving aid to these countries with out any strings attached. They should be giving this money as way of helping these countries and not using just to further them selves in the working world. There should be a regulation in place that forces the country to buy the goods being exported out of the developing countries at the price they are actually worth instead of ripping them off and negotiating a lower price. The same goes for exporting goods out of these wealthy countries. The prices of our good should not be raised for the developing countries. Lastly plans that actually will help stabilize the developing economy in the poorer countries and hopefully get the government to stop having to cut funding.

post 7- E1 settlement

Israel is planning on building 3,000 new housing units in the controversial E1 area near Jerusalem. E1 marks the area between Jerusalem and Maaleh Adumim, making it a strategic zone for both sides.pleasine is not happy with this decision because they feel it will bring and end to the hope that the two nations will be able live peacefully with one another.

I absolutly disagree with what isreal is doing. they are making space for themselves and themselves only, sending a message it seems that they will not accommodate the Palestinians. By going ahead with construction this gos against international law as well undermine's the possibility of a viable state in the West Bank. this will only anger palestine and perhaps break there cease fire. if Israel gos ahead with this they are only asking fro violence and retaliation.

pots 6- Connecticut shooting

when I first heard about the shooting I was a little dumb founded. i couldn't believe that a grown man went in to a junior school and gunned down about 20 children and a few teachers. i was shocked to find out that his mother was actually a teacher there as well.

To hear about this is terrifying because if a man can easily kill a group of young defenceless children in a country thats suppose to be" the land of dreams" and that promotes freedom and safety, it make me wonder what could of caused such a greta act of violence.

in America access to guns is what caused this problem, thankfully in Canada its harder to acquire guns especially automatic ones. why america has such easy access to guns especially after the high school shooting a few years ago is beyond me. it only encourages violence. after the shooting news stations would ask people what they felt about the gun laws and shockingly some people said that if the teachers had had guns they would of been able to defend themselves and the chirldren. but you got to ask if a man went into a school with an automatic rifle when the teachers didn't have guns. what kind of weaponry would be needed to when teachers are armed.

the violence displayed in this school on that friday really opened my eyes to the kind of violence present in society. it taught me that even when someone is not provoked intentionally or even at all no matter who you are or how old you are, violence could be apart of your life. I personally find that scary to think about and it makes me question what kind of society we really are living in.

post-5 WIC

In the WIC I was to supervise the presentation on the film "innocence of muslim". The girls who presented did a good job but unfortunately there first presentation was rushed so they were not able to show a video and a game that my partner and I had set up was not able to be played either. I think the conference is a really good idea. I enjoyed hearing from Mr. Kielburger. I found it very inspiring to see the video from kenya as well the musical presentation was good.

I found the whole a little bit confusing because there was not a run through before hand. I was lost in trying to organize the kids because i wasn't exactly sure what I was doing my self. How ever I think the kids who did participate enjoyed the day over all and found it very educational. Over all the WIC was a good day and I believe the message was passed on.
