tones of the comeing war

the tone of the united states seems very offended and surprised that the Germans would do such a thing as sinking a ship with Americans on it and seems like there telling the public "don't worry we are gonna make them eat those u-boats" the Germans responses seems like there are worried a bit because they already are dealing with the English blockade and now they have to deal with the Americans as well. they also seem very angry and surprised that the American will break the peace and join the fight after being neutral for so long

POWs

if i was in the situation described i would do what ever i had to do to get the information out of those prisoners.by what ever means necessary even torture.because the discomfort of six enemy combatants is worth the lives of all the people who would be affected by the IEDs. the repercussions will be very negative however on the individual how give commits the torture. because there are rules to war that tells us what we can and cant do to prisoners so no matter how right you think you are you will most likely suffer the consequences for breaking those rules. which could result in a court Marshall. also your government will take the heat for what you did so you could also cause your government to lose the peoples support for the war effort

weekly artical 2


yes i do think that there should be video games such ass call of duty to exist. they don't diminish the seriousness of war they show the seriousness of it.it doesn't really take a genius to know that if you are dieing so easily in a game imagine if you were really there.i think people don't give the players enough credit they know you don't have a reset button in real life,no extra life.also our own military and other militaries around the world use war games to train they're soldiers.it helps them coupe with and react with real life situations.also if a company wants to make a game i think its there right to make it the way they want to make it and if you don't like it then just don't buy it its that simple.the reality of the game also shows the ugly side of war like all the death and destruction.so i believe it helps people who play the games gather a better understating a seriousness of war and also a deep appreciation for the ones who fight the war.so in summery i believe that they should keep making games like call of duty and if you don't like it then just don't buy it or play it.

dog fights

what i think goes on in a pilots mind during a air to air combat situation is concentration and focus.because when your airplane going 100 mph and people are shooting at you you don't have time to be afraid to panic if you were to make one little mistake your going to go down in flames.also you have to watch all your instruments within the plane as well so if you lose your focus not only on the guy shooting at u but on your own air plane your also going down
i think what caused the great number of casualties was the fact that there were many new weapons introduce such as the machine gun and flamethrower.also the weapons that were already there have been made even more deadly like artillery instead of the old fashion canons they now have much farther shooting howitzers.even the way the war was fought caused more casualties. they dug trench's and shot at each other waiting for on side to rush the other which lasted longer because both sides were at a stand still for long periods of time.

but they carry diseases with them as well...i just lost a dear friend of mine to the yellow fever i just hope i don't suffer the same fate...

should we have a school for the americas

i think we should be able to have a school for the Americas because its to better and make
our side of the world more safe and beneficial for America.people love America and how its the best and
are thankful for it but they don't want to know how we got there.America is where it
is today because of things such as the school for the Americas.if any other country had the
power and resources to do it they would do the same.so why should we hold back? just because
we are better at it then most other country's? and the school of Americas isnt all bad i mean what
about all the people who are in the country who want democracy? they get what they want
we get what we want plus they get a new big brother named USA.

yellow journalism

"THE WAR ON TERROR" is the quote i chose for a current example of yellow journalism. it relates
to the war because it makes a better sounding name for the "war" to help gain support with the press and public.it also help gain political support as well.no politician would
ever go to war or go on board with anything unless they have a catchy ring to it so that the public would support it
otherwise it would be political suicide.

what was you favorit blog topic

my favorit blog topic from this quarter was "does history matter". because now in days a lot
of kids dont really care about histoy and just try to disregard it because its the passed
and they dont think that it matters any more. and as a person who is very pasionate about histoy
it botherd me in a way and to be able to give my point of view on something a feel strong about
and get a grade for it was kind of cool.

is bloging different

i don't really think it was all that much different because no matter whether you ask for my
opinion on a pen or paper or a computer i would still give my honest opinion and speak or "write"
my mind regardless. but however it does make thing a lot easy er because i feel more relax and not as
rushed on the computer,i type faster then i write and i can multitask a lot easy er.

daily article african americans

the treatment of African Americans during the civil war Reconstruction and the civil rights movement are very similar.the over all public thought of white people being better that black people was still very strong.the segregation of the two races also was widely practiced.another thing was the KKK.in civil war Reconstruction they committed gruesome acts known as lynching which they also did in the 1960s and 1970s.but in the 1960s they marched down the streets chanting about white power and protesting rights given to blacks and other colors.but the Klan in the civil war era were much more secretive.not only the KKK committed aggressive acts agiast the blacks but also the law enforcement did as well.they were a lot of times when they would arrested a black man with little to no evidence to crimes they did not commit also when African Americans try to protest a lot of times it ends with the police department beating people and hitting them with the fire hoses.the court system in both eras were also against them as well. when a black man was being prosecuted he had to face an all white jury and judge which almost all the time ruled them guilty.both eras however bad the African Americans were treated were stepping stones which they fought for in order to be considered equal in the united states and from the civil war reconstruction to the civil movement all the way to 2010 i believe they have acomplished there goal
life in the text tile factories must have been very difficult.very long days of non stop hard work,little to no safety codes and all for little pay.even the children weren't safe from it since they had no child labor laws.it seems so awkward seeing this happen in the united states.because it is so different we have child labor laws sunch as if u are under eighteen you cant work passed 12.we created the 40 hour work week,minumum wage,and safety codes that all the building and work places must follow. makes me kinda glade to be 17 in 2010.
the immigrants coming to Ellis island must have felt amazed by all the nice buildings on the inside and outside the way people were dressed and how the landscaped looked.but then when they go to the city streets of new york and saw all the garbage in the streets and the living conditions it must have been the opposite of what their first look into the united states of America was

weekly artical cowboys

in Hollywood cowboys are the hero's of the west there polite,hardworking,gun slinging,tough guys
in real life there is some truth to the portray but also some Pieces are not so truthful.in real
life cowboys were indeed hard workers.they had to mend protect and wrangle cattle and horse
which isn't easy work.one of the false stereo types in Hollywood however is that the cowboys were gun slinging violent
people.cowboys seemed to be very social having many parties known as hoe downs or rodeos.what was very
surprising in real life that was not shown in Hollywood is the fact that many cowboys were
homosexual.this was due to the the low population of women in the west and the Strong bond between the cowboys.
another thing that differs in movies then in real life is that in movies there were many rouge cowboys or just a
group of two or three of them.but in real life this hard rigorous job requires a whole team of cowboys each with
specific jobs like a boss and cook.a stereo type that Hollywood did get right for the most part was the clothing the cowboys
wore. it consisted of cowboy hat bandanna cowboy boots chaps jeans and gloves.necessary cloths for the job i suppose.all in all
Hollywood did a great job in making the American cowboy entertaining but far from a bulls
eye on the truth.

rocky racoon

the beatales portray the wild west by showing how reckless and quick tempered they were useing
the example of Rocky's girl friend leaving him for another guy so he went to try to kill the guy. yes i do believe this is accurate
because there was little to no law out in the west but a heck of a lot of guys guns and whiskey
so all of those in combination allows things like that to happen

cowboy stereo types

some of the stereo types that the portray in gun smoke is that the cowboys are the tough guys and the heroes
of the west.the also love to shoot there guns and have the greatest aim in the world.another
thing is there cloths they have cowboy hats and boots with the brown or black vests

6 word story

settle the west for the best

how can games help you learn

games can help with learning by making it entertaining if a class is boring you are most likely
going to go to sleep but if you have a game it keeps the learner alert and wanting to play.
also it adds a competitive aspect you are trying to concentrate to advance or win so what ever
you are learning leaves a bigger mark in your memory

should we show amnesty

i think the south should have been grated amnesty because the whole point of the war was
to preserve the union keep the us the us so why wouldn't you just end the fighting right then
and there and be the bigger person and forgive them rather than punish them and keep the bad
blood going.

were slave better off...

the affect former slaves went through reconstruction was that they had freedom but they still
were not considered at all equal.and they still were in a form of slavery due to share cropping
trapping them economically.but i do believe they are better off than before the civil war because
it was a necessary stepping stone to take on the road of being considered equal and uniteting
the people of the us as a whole.
