Outstanding Blogz!

1. Economic advice to Barack Obama?
Mariah Morgan's economic advise to Brack Obama is that we need to come together as a family to make this crisis stop."By making our economy stronger, and more efficient in more than one way, we can pull ourselves out of this mess" Another piece of advise is Mr. Obama needs to provide more jobs for America. Mariah also mentions that she wouldn't want to be like the Great Depression back in the 1920's.

2. Literary Analysis?
I really like Sydney's blog, I believe that she is a really good writer. she shows the theme, symbols, and uses really good evidence. http://sydneyhumanities.blogspot.com/

3. Historical Writing?
In Mariah's historical writing I like that she connected her analysis to the Great Depression. She talks about how the crisis we are going through is getting close to the Great Depression. Another Historical writing that she shows is the Gilded age. She talks about how we see the rich are getting richer and the poor getting poorer. http://mariahscurrentevent1.blogspot.com/

4. Anything else that makes blogs great?
Many people have different techniques that makes their blog great. If we take our time to write and use the right evidence we would all have a great bog!

what responsibility do we have for the understanding of science?
I would say that we don't really have a responsibility for the understand of science. But I believe that we should at least have some knowledge about science and scientist.

What role should scientific inquiry and scientific knowledge play in our own society?
I think the scientific analysis and the scientific knowledge play a big role in our society because it helps comprehend and get to learn more and more about their experiences. How it works how does it affect us, scientist spend their lives trying to invent something better, or for easier use, the reason is that we hardly know how important it is to have created and invention for example light, but because we are so used to having light everywhere we go, its not important. we loose interest in who did it and really what was the background history and what was their knowledge in creating Science!

How should science influence our decisions, laws, and culture?
Science should influence laws and culture in a big way, we should know how important it is to acknowledge ideas, we should have knowledge and have the study for whatever we do in life, i believe our laws should be progressing and people should be studying and acknowledging studies in order to continue making and stating new laws.

If I was Obama's economics advisor Part 2!


Hello, Mr. President I know that we have been going through a lot of problems with the crisis, but I'm here to help you. The first thing we need to discuss is the first mistake that you made by choosing the wrong Democrats to work for you without doing any background research. For example the Treasury secretary, secretary of health, and the White House chief performance officer are organizations that currently have not payed their taxes. Like in the New York Times article states: " The reason Democrats want to raise taxes, use class warfare, attack corporations is because they take everyone else’s money and redistribute it. But they themselves don’t pay taxes, so there’s no reason for them to worry about tax increases" This was the result for not having background research on your democrats before hiring them. In other hand I believe this was a good experience to go through because we learn form our mistakes. Having that said will you make a background research to your future members? I would also encourage for the congress to approve on 1.2 trillion plan. By getting this approved we improve our economy by saving jobs and house marketing. "Mr Obama says his plan aims to create or save 3 to 4 million jobs in the US economy, which has been in a year-long recession since the collapse of the housing market sparked a global panic over bank losses that in turn froze credit markets" Knowing how you are getting prepared to face this crisis I have confidence in you that we wont go through the painful days we went through during the Great Depression in 1929 as many Americans struggled for many years. They had no jobs, no money for food and daily supplies.I hope these advise will help you with the problems we are facing with the crisis in America.

What makes a great interview?

Thoughtful Questions: The first thing you need to have when interviewing someone is questions. If you want to have a very good interview you need to create thoughtful questions, by leaving the person your interviewing thinking about the question. Also asking questions that would lead to another question.
"You were a model before you became a photographer. Do you feel you are able to express yourself more as a photographer than a model?"

Background information: When you start an interview its good to have background information about the person your interviewing because you will know other questions to ask if you come across " the awkward silence" in the interview, with Nigel Barker and David Radadi there are three paragraphs describing a little bit about Nigel's biography.

"I notice you at the shows and realized that as soon as the first model walks out until the last model ends the show, your eyes light up like a light bulb and you give your undivided attention and really focus on each model. What are you thinking?"

Good sense of humor: When your going to interview someone you need to have a good sense of humor, that way the person your interviewing can feel comfortable and open with you. David: "Is there anything that you have never revealed and would like to share with the readers?"
Nigel: " (with a smile) I have been waiting for Slash Magazine"
David: " You have great sense of humor. Thank you for your time."

John F Kennedy and George W Bush

John F Kennedy was our 35th president of the United States 1961-1963. In John F Kennedy’s inaugural speech, he spoke to many about Unity, U.S. Protection, as well in modern society, George W. Bush verbalized similarly, yet Bush’s actions are completely the opposite.

John F Kennedy once said “Now the trumpet summons us again -- not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need -- not as a call to battle, though embattled we are -- but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation," a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself” By just reading this quote from the Inaugural speech he talks about peace and how we as a nation should come together as one, that is the opposite from what George W Bush did for our country. By reading John F Kennedy’s Inaugural address it made me realize that George W Bush had done the opposite from what John F Kennedy said in his Inaugural speech.

“It is a story of a new world that became a friend and liberator of the old, a story of a slave-holding society that became a servant of freedom, the story of a power that went into the world to protect but not possess, to defend but not to conquer” By reading this quote from George W Bush we can see that he did not keep his promise of protecting the USA and possessing. All he did is make the people terrified because of war and made them suffer because of the economical crisis that we are going through because of all the money he put in toward war. He started war because he wanted to take over Iraq riches lads that had oil, but he said, “The story of a power that went into the world to protect but not possess?” I don’t get it. He did it again, lied.

“We offer a special pledge, to convert our good words into good deeds, in a new alliance for progress, to assist free men and free governments in casting off the chains of poverty” John F Kennedy tried to follow what Martin Luther King’s views by agreeing on how we should all be equal no matter what color one was and where you came from. John F Kennedy felt strongly about racism due to America’s society and segregation between love and hate. “Ought to be possible, in short, for every American to enjoy the privileges of being American without regard to his race or his color” This quote shows how John F Kennedy words wanted people to come together and ignore peoples opinion towards discrimination.

We can see that these two president wanted peace, but one did not do his job correctly. The only thing he thought about was himself and not the people. Unfortunately we had to go through that. Hopefully now with our new president Barack Obama he can now do what John F Kennedy once said “We observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom -- symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning -- signifying renewal, as well as change” John F Kennedy’s speech and George W Bush speech are similar, yet Bush’s actions are completely the opposite. What we need in this world is peace, money cant only make you happy it can also destroy other peoples lives. I hope that now we can come together and make this world a better place.
