1st hmwk

1. I am most exited about my exit project because I am able to choose my own project and do a project on whatever issue I am interested in.
2. My biggest fear is that I will get bored with the topic I chose. This is my biggest fear because the project allows for so much and sometimes you think you could have done a project on a beter issue.
3. I hope to learn about something I didn't know about previously and find out other things during my research.
4. I want to know that I chose something that I think I can alot from. I want to research using books and not the internet so that I learn about things I wouldnt have normally found when researching a specific topic online.

Headlines/ I found 2

Jailed Fishermen Await Thaw in India-Pakistan Relations

This could be an interesting exit project. It could be interesting because it shows how regular people are affected by "relations."

In reading this article I learned a group of young fisherman are in Pakistani jails past their prison sentences because of a war.

Question I still have:

When did the war start and why?

Article: Watchdog Groups Urge Ban on Diamond Exports

This might be an interesting exit project. This might be interesting because Diamonds sell for alot of money but the places that they are taken from are poor, why is that?

I learned about a Human rights activist named Nowak I also learned that under the current president named Robert Mugabe a lot of torture is being carried out.

Question I still have:

How did Mugabe get into power if he abuses his rights.

My first topic was the Arms Trade because it has been the cause of many conflicts. In the Irish-British conflict the Germans provided the Guns, consequently the British responded with greater force.

I learned these facts:

• The world spends around 1000 billion dollars per year on weapons and the military.
• Developing countries get more weapons.
• India is the largest receiver of weapons.
• The arms trade is very corrupt.
• It started in bulk during the cold war.
• The United states is one of the largest providers.
• Armament firms complete the contracts.
• Armament Firms get major tax breaks.
• The U.S. used 9/11 as a cause to sell arms to other countries.

I could see this becoming my exit project because it has one of the largest affects on the global situation.

My question after reading is:

Do government leaders make money off of these deals.

My next issue is:

Biodiversity

I chose this because I am greatly interested in wildlife and especially the water.

• Biodiversity affects how species grow.
• Biodiversity is the range of wildlife in one area.
• Biodiversity is negatively affected by our actions because we kill and replace species.
• We as a race kill many species daily.
• As we kill species we slowly destroy the ecosystems they belong to.
• Climate Change which humans caused is a major threat.
• Pollution affects corral reefs which affect biodiversity.
• Many agreements have been reached but none are really being followed.
• Biodiversity helped early humans because they had a variety of crops to choose from.
• It is possible to expand population without harming other animals.
• Biodiversity exists in all extremes of nature.

I could see this topic becoming my exit project because I was am interested in preserving and saving the environment.

My question after reading is:

Do we need biodiversity in our city lives?

Giggety-giggety yaaaaaaa i did it!!!

I found my password, thus resolving one of the largest global issues of all time, i wanna thank my friends family and the computer, who allowed me to share this day in glory with likeeee 3 people.

Poem

In social justice you give to get back

and the court is only one aspect of the justice you face

this justice religion has thought up

in social justice whether you're rich

or poor

you have the right to the same thing 

as the man next door

you get services 

for the money you

give
