Vocab/ reflection

I believe that this is the year the youth vote because the news article states that one of the only things keeping Barack Obama in the race for becoming the incumbent is the youth vote. I also believe this is the year the youth become constituents because this country needs a progressive leader like Barack. I know Barack Obama will be a good president because he is a conservative candidate and I know he will veto bad bills and unfair ideas that would only benefit one party ,and approve referendums like lowering the age to have suffrage to sixteen or seventeen. I agree with Shanelle's comment about Barack's speeches and it makes me want to watch more speeches made by him.

Mock election reflection

In this mock primary election I was part of the Mike Gravel team. I learned alot of things like the difference between democrat and republican, and I also learned that only Republican and Democratic parties are in the primaries because they are the only two parties that have been president, so if the Independant and Liberal parties ever become president they will get alot of funding.

In the mock election I was an "expert" on Mike Gravel's view points on health care. My grooup didn't win, but it was a fun experience because I got to know how it was like in the primaries.

The law in the capacious land of Arizona is against hiring illegal immigrants and is usurping jobs from many people. This divisive act is making a riot of who belongs and who doesn't. Immigrants fabricate 9 to 12 percent of the United States' population. This act is scrupulous and organized by the government and is in an area where the pinnacle of immigrants reside.

not so happily ever after

In the average fairy tale the beautiful princess triumphs over evil and it is putting out a bad stereo type. It is the bad stereo type that beauty is rewarded and it is leading young children, especially the young girls that ugliness is punished. I agree with the article because it is telling the truth and usually lead to a lot of things like anorexia, and other bad things.

amazingly horrible -.-

America is one of the fattiest countries in the world and yet the people on the commercials are so thin. In our Socratic seminars we talked about the relevance between health and weight or size. We talked about how even though being overweight or too big you can also be too skinny or thin.

the beauty of friendship

I think friendship is beautiful because, I mean face it without friendship a lot of us wouldn't be hear right now. Friendship is a big part of every body's life because when you need help they are there for you and it's because they know you'll be there for them when they need help, or are struggling.

Bleaching skin in Mali

In Mali women are bleaching their skin to become pallid. Even when people say it is not mesmeric the women continue to bleach their skin. It is also not salubrious because it is leaving blemishes and giving skin cancer. They are doing this to become salacious. It is not helpful when you want to embellish your skin and I believe it should stop.
