What should The United States do about Congo Sexual Violence???

The United States should pay attention to Congo Sexual Violence as the same as Haiti Earthquake.

The United States should treat Congo the same as Haiti because they are both are disasters. In 1994, genocide was in Rwanda, it killed 800,000 people. Refugees tried to slip their way to their bordering countries of Tanzania, Uganda, and Congo. And right now the Genocide in Rwanda has stop, but the one in Congo is still going on. “Young girls are being gang-raped with Bayonets and chucks of woods, their insides ripped apart”. Another reason why the United States should pay more attention to Congo is that it is preventable. When a hurricane or an earthquake happens, it isn’t preventable, but a man-made disaster is preventable. The UN says this about Congo “brutality toward women [is] almost normal.” I for one want to see the end of this disaster.

Another reason why the United States needs to pay more attention to Congo is that ignoring them. Just think before the Haiti’s earth quake, we have been more interested to Natalee Holloway, OJ Simpson, Michael Jackson, and etc than Congo… This has been over a few years, but this has been happing since 1994. And another reason why we have been ignoring them is that most Americans haven’t heard the situation in Congo. The first time I heard about this was a week ago, and I couldn’t believe it. I ask my older sister this question and she just says what American is also saying. “That Congo problems have been on so long and that we don’t know what we will do.” But as I read an article it says that Congo and Haiti are equal and that they both should get the same amount of attention as Haiti, and I believe in that.

What I learned from Mr. Fielder's Classroom

At the beginning of the year, I was nervous for Global Education Language arts. Mr. Fielder told my class that “yes Global Ed is challenging, but it will be good at the end”. And at the beginning I didn’t know what he was talking about or what to do. But as the year went on I learn how to do these things better.

One thing that I learned this year in Mr. Fielder classroom is how to write a one or two paragraphs response with a thesis. None of mine are great but each time I write one my writing skills improved. The things that I learned from this are to have less clutter. If it isn’t needed or doesn’t belong get rid of it. I also learned better way to use Ethos and facts. And the structure of this should look like this… a thesis at the top, most likely should be only one sentence then the first paragraph should be an support of what the thesis should be and then two sentences of what that first support of the thesis . Then the same thing but different supports for the second paragraph.

I also learned about different places and what happen in their histories. Like in the movie “Hotel for Rwanda,” I learned there was a country called Rwanda, that they had a major Genocide there against the Tutsis and the Hutu’s and half of the people died in it, I thought that it was even worse than our civil war. In “Rabbit Proof Fence,” I didn’t know there were native Austrians and how the way the British treated them (which weren’t very pleasant). The people saw the natives the way the Americans used to see the African- Americans her in America. In the movie “The Power of One,” it was okay and I thought that the other two movies were more educational. But in this movie there was this British boy who grew up with everybody dying and that the Africans weren’t treated as equal as they were promise.

Then there was the Debate about Rwanda Genocide. I thought that was a great experience for the class and that we should do it again to practice for a Simon. I learned from it how some parts of the game goes and a lot about my person Juvenal Habyarimana. He was killed on the plane way back from a peace agreement and somebody shoot down his plane. And then there was a radio station that wasn’t in our control we just funded it at the beginning.

And also I learned to have a creative yet a logical mind about stories like the “Man in the Well”. He was a guy in the well and these kids came by and they just kept him there and he was asking the kids for them to get their parents and they just sat around the well and just asking them questions about who he is and why he is in the well. And the creative but logical part is guessing who he is and why he is in the Well. And also in the class stories that go on like the myths we were just doing. It was easy to think of a creative myth but to make it logical was tough.

At all this semester was a very good semester and I learned a lot from Mr. Fielder and I hope that next semester that I will have him again.

Comparing and contrasting

In the History of Australia, United States, Rwanda, and South Africa, everyone wants to have the most power.

In these past histories the British, French and the Dutch are fighting for power by taking over the natives. In South Africa, the Dutch was their first ones there and was trying to control the Boers but then the British came and started to fight the Boers to get control of them too. One model of the British and the French was in the United States because they were trying to make the most friends of Native Americans to gain their land. And in Rwanda the Dutch got the land before the British so the British couldn’t have the land and also the Dutch had the control of the citizens and had control of it until the end of the holocaust. And in Australia the natives pretty much gave up and gave the power to the British.

Another reason why they wanted the most power is for the gold, free land, and labor. The Boer’s are great workers and the British and Dutch wanted to take them in and use them as slaves. Also in South Africa they were after the land for the VOC and the gold and Diamonds. Like in Australia and Rwanda they got free servants and slaves from the native’s and also minerals like tobacco and wine. And in the United States they were after the land because there was a huge chunk of land at that time.

What did I do over the break!

Over the break was okay at my house, but I had better Christmas’s. I hope that you had a great break. There was so many things that has happen I don’t know where to start.

The first thing that happened over the break is that our garage door brooks down and we had to get a new one. And then my sisters and I had to clean the basement because this year we were hosting the Christmas party. Then the party came and we didn’t had a break to relax and to enjoy the party, and I had to keep my dog Ginger out of trouble because my 4 and 2 year old cousins were scared of her, but she didn’t mean to harm them she was just getting use to the people.

After the Christmas party the laundry washer brook down and the repair guy had to come and fix it. Then it was Christmas!!! I just love Christmas, just how we celebrate each year but last year we went to Rome and Germany to visit my dad side of the family, good thing I took German this year or I wouldn’t get one thing they are saying. Anyway, I woke up by six thirty and I and my sisters played board games till eight when my parents woke up and our grandma came over to celebrate with us.

This year was different because the windows was linking because of the big rain storm going outside and got almost all of our presents wet, image that. And after that we surprise my grandma by going to house with all of our other relatives to celebrate the second Christmas. We played with Jennie’s new game “last word” and ate ham sandwiches and had a cookie contest that my mom won. But I thought my cousin Lisa should of win but I was fine with that.

At the end of our Christmas we all caught a mild case of the H1N1. But Jennie didn’t catch it but she did have a stomach aegh. And at the end of break the dishwasher brook but we really didn’t mind it at all. And at the very end my mom, Lauren (my older sister), and I went to the DIA for the Avedon event to do for my cultural event for school. And also we made a snowman, but is demented because it has yellow Sponge Bob golf ball eyes. So it just an okay break.

How GLEE was at the end...

Though out the fall and some winter there was a great show called Glee. Last Wednesday was the last glee for the first season until the spring. The last two was my most favorite because it is glee and you can feel the heat of the actors.

The teacher found out that his wife wasn’t pregnant and it was freighting. I was holding my hands tight and curling into a little ball. He found out when he was looking for his cuffs for the school picture and the fake pregnant pouch that makes you look like you are pregnant but you really weren’t was in a drawer and he found it. Then he came running to his wife in a mad but hoping not confused face and kind of attacks her. He round her off to a corner and ask her to lift of her shirt. She said no so he lift it for her and it was true. After that he seems angry and wanted to hit her but he left her. That was the most exciting thing that happen on that episode, another one is when they do a comical for a mattress. They sing a song called jump and they jump on the mattress. And oh, the teacher got fired to the leader of teacher for glee.

The last glee was the best glee. The therapy teacher filled in for the sectionals and kicks back her wedding for two hours. There were two other teams in the running besides them. My favorite part is when they sing, they sing don’t rain on my parade, can’t always have what you want, and some other song that I forgot. They were going to sing don’t stop believing, rolling, and a song Mercedes was going to sing but the other groups stolen they because Sue gave them the list (the cheerios coach). At the end the other teams told them that they were sorry and they were going to tell the judges but it was too late. And also the therapy teacher wedding got cancel because she was in loved with the glee teacher.

And at the end the therapy teacher and the glee teacher got together and both agreed that they loved each other, glee won the sectionals, and they put in a special act for the glee teacher because he couldn’t make it. Also Finn got the truth from Quinn; she is pregnant with Puck, not himself.

Reflections on the debate-

For the first time in global Ed I got a glimpse of Simon. My sister says it was so much fun, and it is. If you work hard, study your person/country, and listen to their point of view this game will be easy, you also have to put in the time to do it because it takes a while. Simon is a game that you play politicians and you act out a problem that is or has happens and you try to solve it. And if we could do all the time in Global Ed. I might like coming to school.

I was the dear sister of Juvenal Habyarimana (who just got killed in a plane crash). My brother was president of Rwanda. He funded the radio station that warned the Hutus’ that the Tutsis was out to get them. He also made the MRND which turn their back on him. He died because when he was with a peace talk with Burundian president and the leader of RPF order the RPF to shot down the plane and they did.

I learned about some websites that I didn’t even know about is like BBC. I thought that there was only the New York Times and one and two other big news/stories tellers. And I also learned a lot about this genocide because I didn’t know anything before this. Like Rwanda is even a country, and about how the Hutu’s and the Tutsis hate each other very much. If we’re going to do this again in Mr. Fielder’s class I would like to do it.

In the game, I think the MRND, the RPF, Belgium, USA, and UN did the most talking because they had the most influential in it. Uganda, France, and another force that I forgot the named of was the middle because they did little parts of it. And Kagame and Habyarimana spook the shortest amount of times because Habyarimana was killed and the Kagame was… well… I don’t know really maybe because they were shy or had nothing to day about it.

I think my person had the most impact of it because we took over and he order to kill all those people and when he died it most have made the Hutus’ so mad that they went out and killed all those Tutsis, which I not mad at them at all because they were the one I think that started this genocide.

Man Thinking

Emerson’s argument in “the American scholar” about society still hold true today.

One reason Emerson’s argument still holds true today is that man is only concern about making the most money. Inside the article it talks about how a man sticks to one talent for the rest of his life and doesn’t learn the rest of him. "a farmer only farm, and a teacher only teachs." Another reason is that it is the only way to survive. If you go the mall, or the groceries store, you need money to by clothing or food, which all humans need. We also need money to pay for our houses and the electric bill.

The second reason why that is a man doesn’t have enough education. In China, all of them focus on one thing like science, or math, and focus on that subject and get to know it really well, and then they hope that they could get a really good job. And in America you learn a little bit of everything, but never enough.My uncle didn’t go to college so he work for a auto company and last year his company closed, he didn’t have a job for almost a year, just last month he got one, but under the same subject.
