week 6

Should NASA send a manned mission to Mars in the 2030?

Why should we send man to Mars?  I will be speaking about this topic. I have chosen this because it seemed like a very interesting topic and i think it will be a thing you might be think about too.

WHAT ARE THE BEST COMPUTER FOR STUDENTS: MAC OR PC???

FOR THIS WEEK, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A DEBATE ON WHETHER MAC OR PC IS A BETTER CHOICE FOR STUDENTS!

T^T awww soo saad ;(

The shopping problem

I decided to use this topic because this is one of the major causes for the trillions and trillion dollar debt in America. I think thats a problem because we tend to spend and then we can't pay the money we put on the credit cards. So, the government loses lots of money each year. As debt increases the economy gets worse. We need a way to let people know that they are the ones causing the economic debt.

Week 6

Smoking is bad for health and shouldn't be allowed in public places

I chose this topic because smoking is the cause of many deaths every year, and I find it uncomfortable when I go to some public place and there are people smoking, making the air around them smell like smoke. Smoking has both a negative effect on the smoker and people that are around them.

Something Else (:

This is pretty amazing!

MIRACLE

HAPPY REUNION

Week 6

Should religious clothes be banned at school???

For this week's persuasive speech, I decided to pick this topic.
I believe that any religious clothing shouldn't be banned at school.
I read somewhere that a Muslim girl was allowed to wear a burka at school, however, a christian girl was told to remove her chastity symbol. Then, I thought...
"Is this fair?"
Soo... This is why I decided to give my speech on this topic.

WEEK 6 ;D

PERSUASIVE SPEECH TOPIC ^_^

For this speech, I want my topic to be on the issue, "Should Birds be kept in Cages?" This topic is really easy for me to explain because my friend, who is a bird lover, has TONS of bird magazines and articles. Plus I am also an animal lover and I can make my speech sound pretty convincing ;) I am also STRONGLY AGAINST bird caging and wish to share my views with all you peeps out there :D

COMPARE! LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCE! ;(

Terminally Ill patients should have access to experimental drugs

I think that terminally ill patients should have access to experimental drugs, because they could help benefit society as a whole. The terminally ill know they have a slim chance to survive, but if they take the experimental drug, they may have a chance to survive. If it were me, I would want to take a risk and spent the rest of my life living happily and healthily than living knowing that I am still very ill. The terminally ill would help other people in the future if they take experimental drugs. Scientists are still learning about the world of health, this experiment would benefit society and maybe be very useful to the other people that have the same terminal illness.

Week 5

I think that Catholic institutions should provide birth control.
By not using a condom, sexually transmitted diseases like AIDS, HIV, STDS, or etc. can spread to other people.
If a couple doesn't want any children or more because they are poor then they should use them too.

Besides, most Catholics aren't even obeying the ban. In 2002 there was a study that said about 80% to 90% of Catholics are using a type of birth control. If a lot of them aren't following the ban it's better off allowing all Catholics to use them.

extra!!!

a question has been in my mind for a wHILE

SHOULD WE QUESTION THE SCHOOL GRADING SYSTEM???

;

i mean yea we could but is it effencent? is it okay? should we keep it??? ALL THESE QUESTIONS CAN BE ANSWERED BY YOU PEOPLE!!!

WEEK 5

Terminally ill patients should have access to experimental drugs.

I think that terminally ill patients should NOT have the right to have access to experimental drugs. Since they know that they're going to die sooner or later, then why would they still risk themselves? Yes, maybe if they want to die right away then probably yes. But, for the people who does not want to die right away, they would spend their last moment with their family and friends. This is why i think terminally ill patients should not have the right to have access to experimental drugs!

week 5???

well its week 5 rite now so here's my topic that imma write bout is about how catholic schools should provide birth control.

here are some

it allows irresponsible teenagers a second chance

we already have enough people in the world. why make more?

... that's all i have...

here are some cons

they would lose money,

it allows kids to have sex with the knowledge that they won't have a kid

sex is one of the seven sins so y permote it? i mean its CATHOLIC!!!

and yea...

ummm i'm not gonna post pics cuz its sorta distrubing...

Allow Terminally ill Patients access to experimental days

Terminally Ill patients should have the right to choose whether if or not to

have acces experimental days. They may be terminally ill, but they can still

choose from what they want to or not. Many people Think that it is ok for the

terminally ill patients to be experimented with chemicals because they won't

risk themselves because they are going to die anyways. But they can still choose.

This is why Allowing Terminally Ill Patiens Access to experimental Days is unacceptable.

WEEK 5: Freedom to Choose

Terminally Ill Patients Should Have Access to Experimental Drugs

From cancer to AIDS, terminally ill patients around the world are suffering from these horrible diseases. Scientist attempt to seek a solution to cure these terminal diseases.

While you fall closer to your death, you feel desperate to find an answer. What can you do? Obviously, if something doesn't work, find a new solution. A standard treatment for cancer may have not work on a patient, but a new medication could possibly work. Although, some of these unproven medications have not been put onto terminally ill patients because these drugs must be approved by the FDA or Food and Drug Administration. So, if the FDA do not approve it, the drug will be illegal to use. But, this is not very effective, so I

 think we should change the status quo and let terminally ill patients have access. It's their choice if they want to try out something. If the patient were to die using the drug, they would die anyways. Scientist theoretically found the solution in laboratories, but they haven't tested it in real life. Also, they study the possible outcomes and would have an idea what would happen. But, the law and the FDA should restrict terminally ill patients from their choice whether they wanted to risk it. People have the right to choose if they want to try the new drug. In the long run, if the new experimental doesn't work, then they would die imminently.  But, if the potentially effective drug were to work, the patient made the best decision to find a new solution to his terminally ill disease. I would like to propose that we would allow terminally ill patients to take experimental drugs of their choice.

Pesticides in Fruits and Vegetables D:

At school, everyone learns about the food pyramid. We should all have plenty of fruits and vegetables to help us balance our diet. However, it has now been found that there are many pesticides used in fruits and vegetables (some contain traces of over 10 different types of pesticides!). Scientific studies have also shown that pesticides in fruits and vegetables may cause ADHD!

Week 5

Terminally Ill Patients Should Have Access To Experimental Drugs



America. The land of the free? We have the freedom of speech, assembly, religion, press.. what happened to the right to try to save one's life?
What if you had a fatal disease and were dying? Every second you became weaker, experience more pain, and lose control of more of your body? There aren't any approved drug or any other treatment that could possibly save your life. Would you rather face a painful death, or try new treatments? If you were facing a life/death situation, it wouldn't be very difficult to choose to experiment. If the new drug works, you live. If it doesn't work, you meet your already determined fate, death. Why not try something if there's a chance of saving your life? It would be worse to not experiment while you can-don't regret anything.
Why shouldn't patients be allowed to choose if they try an experimental drug or not? We have the right to life, yet we can't choose what happens to our bodies? Everyone should have the right to try to save their own life, even if it means trying a drug that hasn't been tested sufficiently yet. There can't be a negative outcome, because even if the drug fails to work and the patient dies, the death was inevitable anyways, and the person could die knowing that he or she did everything possible. Scientists would also know that the drug wasn't effective and could think of new ideas for more drugs that could work. Terminally ill patients should have access to experimental drugs.

week 5 :]

Patients SHOULD be allowed to refuse treatments on the basis of religion.

1. It's THEIR BODY. They should have the right to chose what should be done with it.

2. If a patient wasn't allowed to refuse treatments on the basis of religion then that would be a VIOLATION of the first amendment.

3. Government shouldn't interfere with religion

Week 5

Catholic institutions should NOT be required to provide birth control.

First of all, Catholic Institutions have always been against birth control. In 1968, Pope Paul VI pointed out that for 2,000 years, the church has been against birth control. Drastic changes weren't called for and cannot be accepted. Sex isn't for pleasure, it is for creating a family. If sex wasn't for creating a family, then it would be for pleasure without responsibility. Men would see women as an object of pleasure. This would lead to increasing numbers of rape, physical abuse, and emotional abuse. God created sex to create children, not just pleasure. Birth control isn't for creating a family; birth control is for people who do sex for pleasure. If Catholic Institutions allowed birth control, they would be encouraging sex for pleasure. This is why Catholic Institutions are against birth control. No one can FORCE them to do something they are against.

Secondly, Catholic Institutions view having birth control as a sin. An example of how birth control is a sin is found in the Bible, in the book of Genesis. A man, named Onan, slept with a woman and purposely avoided getting her pregnant. He knew that the children would not rightfully be his; therefore, he pulled away. The Lord saw this as wrong and so Onan was killed for his sin. If birth control was seen as sin, then why should Catholic Institutions be required to do something they think is wrong? Why should they be FORCED to commit sin?

These both tie into a bigger category. They have the right to choose. Choice means the liberty or right to choose; option. Required means needed; demanded as essential or obligatory. They shouldn't be required to do something when they have the right to choose whether or not they want to do it.

WEEK 5 :D

what i think about "Patients should not be allowed to refuse treatments on the basis of religion"

ok so my opinion on this topic is that patients SHOULD BE ALLOWED to refuse treatment on the basis of religion because everyone has the RIGHT TO CHOOSE what they want to do with their life. There may be limited choices at times but there is ALWAYS a choice. If a patient WANTED to be treated then that's a completely different matter. But what if a patient didn't want to be treated because it meant that he/she would be going back on his/her faith? Then I believe that that patient should be given the right to make a decision for his/herself. No one should be FORCED to accept treatments. People should be able to decide what happens to their own body, unless it's a unique situation like if that patient has mental problems or is the only parent of several children...etc. Otherwise, I believe that all patients have the right to refuse medical treatment on religious grounds.

http://www.churchlawtoday.com/private/library/pcl/p18f.htm

All three of these topics are tied to one BIG topic, THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE. It shouldn't be required for these Catholic institutions to provide birth control or for these patients to not be allowed to refuse treatment. All these things should be voluntary not mandatory.

Week 5 Prompt

week four...awww

well because my lack of information that i'm to lazy to obtain, my post will be SHORT today.

Palestinians in Israel

well i think that the Israel's are buttheads that barge in other's territories like the Americans did with the Indians.

but that's unrelated with the topic.

the Palestinian vs Israels

first i would like to explain the cruel things the Israel's have been doing to the Palestinians.

the Palestinins were there first in the country. but since the government felt sorry for the Jews(Israels) for Hitler(THANKS A LOT HITLER!) so they gave the jews land in the palestinins territory. since then, the jews have been pushing their lands and cornering the Palestinians.

how here are some pics :D

saddd,,,

WEEK 4

Basque in Spain

The homeland of the Basques are known by Basque nationalists as Euzkadi. There were about 3 million people lived in this area in the late 1980s. Approximately 300,000 people were on the French side of the border, while the remaining 2.7 million people were concentrated primarily in the two Spanish coastal provinces of Guipuzcoa and Vizcaya. The Basques are among the oldest peoples of Europe. ETA(Euskadi ta Askatasuna), one of the Western Europe's last terrorist groups conducts terrorist attacks to win independence for a Basque state in northern Spain and south western France. Euskadi ta Askatasuna means "Basque Fatherland and Liberty" in the Basque language which the group was formed in 1959. Its founders foused on General Francisco Franco's suppression of the Basque language and culture.In 2003, the Spanish Supreme Court banned the Batasuna political party, which was considered the political arm of ETA, and successive efforts by Spanish governments to negotiate with ETA have failed.

Week 4 prompt

If someone ask you randomly about what current news is in the middle east. What will the first thing be that pops in your mind? Probably the conflict between the Palistinians and the Isrealis. The two sides has been in conflict for many years just to gain the right to own a piece of land. They have been fighting recently trying to gain the GAZA STRIP and it wasn't a pretty scene, people have been bombing each other. I wonder when will this feud between the two sides end?

Well I think that this fight will never end until one side gives up, which is nearly impossible.

Does Gravity Really Exist??

I found this article and it really caught my eye because we all accept what we are taught in school, including universal ideas and laws such as the laws of gravity. Apparently, some scientist at the University of Amsterdam argues this idea, saying that gravity doesn't exist. Here's the link!:

WEEK 4 ;D

TIBETANS IN CHINA

Shamanism was the dominant religion of the Tibetans before Buddhism was introduced in the 7th century. Political power within Tibet is held by the Dalai Lama or "monk filled with wisdom". The conflict between Tibet and China has been going on since the 18th century when China decided that they wanted control over Tibet. Thus, started the Tibetans' struggle for their independence. In 1951, the Tibetan government conceded to the Chinese and gave up their independence when Qamdo was invaded by Communist troops. In 1956, when a committee was established to plan for Tibet's constitution as an autonomous region of China, angry ethnic Tibetans started a rebellion against the Chinese in Sichuan province. The rebellion turned into a revolt that lasted for 10 years. Under the Chinese government, Tibetans were introduced to new policies by which Tibetan culture, language, and natural resources are being systematically and irrevocably eroded. The protests in Tibet result from resentment of decades of state repression of Tibetan Buddhism and the migration of Chinese onto the Tibetan Plateau. Many people were killed during a parade on March 14 of 2008 (my birthday, what a coincidence ;( ). Talks are still being held between the 2 parties but there has been a lack of result and momentum. Many other countries have held meetings with the Dalai Lama and all hope for a peaceful and enduring solution.

http://www.tibetcustom.com/article.php/20100326083417443

http://www.asianinfo.org/asianinfo/tibet/pro-history.htm

In my opinion, the Chinese government should not have invaded Tibet. Tibetans have their own culture and policies and so do the Chinese. THEY DON'T MIX!!! I believe the best solution to this problem right now would be for the Chinese government to hold a talk with the Dalai Lama in PERSON since all the Dalai Lama seeks is a peaceful solution and not violence. Hopefully a compromise can be reached before more people lose their lives in this conflict. Like I said, I believe there is a solution but it may be hard to find because it needs to satisfy both parties.

Week 4

Palestinians in Israel





The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is an ongoing one between Israelis and Palestinians. It is part of the larger Arab-Israeli conflict in which Arabs of the Middle East and the Jewish of Israel fight over territory they each claim for itself. This conflict is over mutual recognition (between the Palestinians and the Israelites), security, water rights, and control of Jerusalem (especially between the Jewish and Muslim communities). The dispute is so severe that violence resulting from it has caused an awareness and intervention at the international level, and security and human rights concerns (within and between both sides, and internationally).
Parts of Palestine are within Israel, so this makes the conflict especially difficult to solve. Many attempts have been made to settle the dispute, and the solution that is preferred most by both the Israelis and Palestinians is the two-state solution which would create an independent Palestinian state alongside an independent Jewish state or next to the State of Israel.
To settle this conflict will not be easy to do. The Israeli political leaders have suggested several solutions and offers, but they were all rejected by the Palestinian leaders, who haven't made any counter-offers. It is hard to come up with a solution when only party in the conflict is trying to come up with solutions. I don't think that there will be a solution to the problem, at least in the near future.

Week 4 :]

Palestinians in Israel

What is the Palestinian-Israeli conflict?

The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is a dispute that started during the late 19th century and still goes on to this very day. It is over not only borders, but water, security, land, and mutual recognition as well.

More on the conflict:

http://www.socialstudiesforkids.com/articles/worldhistory/palestinianisraeliconflict1.htm

http://www.socialstudiesforkids.com/articles/worldhistory/palestinianisraeliconflict2.htm

My opinion.

This conflict sucks and needs to end along with the religious hatred. It has resulted in too much violence and is very costly.

Could this problem be possibly solved by having a self-reliant Jewish state could be made alongside an independent Palestinian state? Maybe.

But can true peace REALLLY be achieved?

i THINK NOT!

No progress has been made these past years on compromises.

Week 4

BASQUE IN SPAIN

The Basques are the oldest ethnic group in Europe. Their homeland is known as Euzkadi. They live in northern Spain along the Bay of Biscay, adjacent areas of southern France, and the western Pyrennes Mountains. Their culture is traditional and rural. This creates a conflict with the modern and urban Spanish culture that's associated with industrialization. The main conflict is that the Basques want independence from Spain.

During Dictator General Franco's regime (1939-1975), expressions of Basque national identity were banned. In 1959, a Basque separatist movement emerged called Euskadi Ta Aaskatasuna, or ETA. In 1968, a faction emerged parallel to the separatist movement called ETA-Militar, or ETA-M. This group resorted to an armed struggle for independence. They mainly target national and regional officials and government buildings.

Throughout the years, many suspected ETA members were arrested and/or killed. Although there were many talks of peace settlements, etc, none took place; therefore, the conflict goes on.

Even to this day, ETA movements can be seen in Europe. Recently, in France, a policeman was shot and killed near Paris; this was the first French police officer killed by ETA. Ten ETA members are suspected. Last Thursday, French President Nicolas Sarkosy promised to hunt down the group of suspected militants of ETA. He warned that they "will be mercilessly pursued."



http://www.flashpoints.info/countries-conflicts/Spain-Basque-web/Spain-Basque_briefing.html



http://eitb.com/news/politics/detail/379662/sarkosy-warns-eta-they-will-be-mercilessly-pursued/



I believe that it wasn't right for Dictator Franco to have banned expressions of the Basques. He was just inviting trouble to come. In fact, it did. Because of him, now there are major ETA versus Europe problems. However, I did not think it was right for ETA to come back with ETA-Militar and make war; they made the problem worse by adding violence to the boiling pot. There can be a solution to this problem, although, anything thought of would be hard to put into place if both sides didn't cooperate. They would have to be ready for a compromise or negotiation. They are both scared of the other group in a way because of what they can each do to the other. In that sense, a compromise or negotiation would be hard. However, it is not



impossible.

WEEK 3 HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!(LATE)

Happy late 4th of July!!!!

I think all of the amendments are necessary today. One of the ten amendments is the right of search and seizure by the authorities which is amendment four. Bill of Rights is important to everyday citizens, without them no one would have equal rights.

Debate Topics Week 4

Hey Guys!

Here are the possible motions for debate tomorrow:

THW ban cosmetic surgery

TTW ban websites that glorify eating disorders

THW prohibit speeches that incite hate

Good Luck!

Ms. Krissy

Week 3 :]

Today, the Bill of Rights is still necessary. It guarantees certain rights to all individuals without having the government violate it.

6th Amendment:

"In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense."

Why it is important:

The 6th Amendment is significant to all Americans because it provides the accused with legal protection.

It allows the accused the right to a public trial, right of an impartial jury,confrontation with the witnesses, and the right to an attorney.

With it, innocent ones who are accused would be able to establish their innocence.

BILL OF RIGHTS SONG

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSA8LX0xNLg&feature=related

WEEK 3 HAPPY RLY LATE 4TH OF JULYYY

i feel the Bill of rights is important because it protects people and people's rights.

its necessary today because people get hurt these days and if we don't have any right to protect ourselves, then we'll all get killed and yea...

the bill of rights was created to make sure everything is equal. but i don't think it's doing its job.

THE PRESIDENT!!! WHAT THE HECK? he gets a own branch of his own? i mean the other 2 needs alotta people. but wha'ts the point of a president? a figure head?

ahem...yea i sorta don't really know bout this bt here are some AWOSME PICS!!!

kool rite?

and my favorite topic for the week is

SHOULD WE(THE PEOPLE) SELL ITEMS FOR MARKETED PRICE? OR WHOLE SALE???(LIKE COSCO)

well i feel like that we should do whole sale cuz its cheaper and the whole world would be like cosco...

here are some good things bout it

pros

if there isn't much pay, then no one would have money and labor would be CHEAP!

and people would quit cuz like NO MONEY!

less people working leads to less demand

which all leads up to one thing....

WE GO GREEN! AND BECOME LAZY PPL AND GO BACK TO THE AGE OF CHIMPS! oh yeaaa that'll be AWESOME!!!

Week 3

HAPPY LATE 4TH OF JULY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In this weeks prompt, I think that admendment 3: Protection from quartering of troops is pretty important. It is because, after the boston tea party, the british forced the americans to quarter british troops in their houses.(Quater means to let them stay) This is still important because it prevents soldiers from getting tyranny and stay at people's houses.

Week 3

All of the amendments are necessary today. Without them, our country would be in chaos. One of the amendments is the fourth amendment. In this amendment, we are protected from unreasonable searches and seizures.
How would you like it if someone ran into your house to search it just because they suspect you of something? It wouldnt be very fair, especially if you didn't do anything. They would also have ruined your privacy. With the fourth amendment, many unnecessary searchings, such as these, are prevented.
Your house can only be searched if it is issued by the government and there is a warrant present.

http://www.gpoaccess.gov/constitution/pdf/con015.pdf

Week 3

The United States, from the first day of its existence, has been a democracy, ruled by the people and social equality for all. For the nation to be a democracy, the people of the nation need rights to make sure that the government won't have too much power. The freedom of religion originated mainly when immigrants came to this country to escape religious persecution, and this has been an important part of the United States. The freedom of speech, press, and petition allow people to let the government know of their opinions so that it will be a country with laws that the majority would agree to. If these freedoms weren't given to us, the United States would soon turn into one with despotic rule, and this wouldn't be much different from when the country was under the rule of the British. That's why the first amendment is important to this country today. :)
