Five Global Problems

1. Child Soldiers: this problem is man made. This problem is affecting mainly the countries population, but also affects everyone in the world... because it might change the way of thinking of people around the world.
   
2. The Criticism of religions: This is man made also. Everyone in the world is affected because of this problems... because people should not criticize other people's religion... because we need to have diversity, and we need to be OK with each others way of thinking... we might not like it, but we should not criticize it.
   
3. Global Warming: this problem is man made. This problem affects the whole world, because we are burning up fossil fuel, and that is preventing that the sunlight outside the atmosphere get out, and that heats up the world... that is why we are having such hot days, and it has changed the climate of each country.
   
4. Global hunger: this problem has a combination of both... man made, and naturally, this is because of the location of each country. This problem affects everyone in the world, because there are countries, for example Zimbabwe that has a government that doesn't care too much about the people in the country... just some months ago there was a cholera problem because of the water being polluted, and the government didn't care, people died, because they didn't give them enough medical support or anything. But at the same time is is a problem of location, because that country is in Africa, and the weather there is really hot, so there has to be problems for growing crops, and food. The people who is afected is the poeple who lives in such countries that have a government that doesnt mind that there are deasises.
   
5. Natural disasters destruction: natural. This is a problem that we cannot control of happening, because they happen naturally, and they cannot be controled. They might become intenser or less intense that what they were at first. This affects everyone, because the people who live in such countries that get affected about every month or so. But it also affects the people who lives around the country, or on the other side of the world it concerns them.
   

The best Part Of Me

1. Were you able to successfully complete your original design? Why or why not? I was able to complete the project with the original design, but with some variations. This variations happened, because I was not able to get the pictures with direct sunlight. This happened because my camera broke, and I had to take the pictures with my grandma's camera, and when I took he pictures it was already getting dark, so I had to use the flash.
   
2. How did you manage your resources to complete your project on time? I managed to do this project by using, a camera, my garden, and time. Well, when I was going to take the pictures of the project, my camera was broken, so I had to use another camera, this is how I managed to take the pictures. My, garden, well it is always there, but I kind of had to arrange some of the plants before taking the pictures, because my dog, messes them up, so I had to fix them a little bit. And finally, my time, the day I had to take the pictures, where some days that I had a lot of homework, and was the day before I left for VANAS, so I had to do my bags. Then when I came back from VANAS my camera was broken, so I couldnt take the pictures some days later when I found another camera.
   
3. Describe how you achieved proper subject, lighting, and composition.Well I actually wanted to do this project with direct sunlight, but when I took the pictures I had to use the flash, because i was late and there wasnt too much light. The subject of my picture, is my favorite tree of the garden, because it has beutiful flowers the whole year. The subject of the picture is a banch of the tree that has many flowers, and it is the main object, there isnt anything else in that picture, apart from a little background. Tho composition of this picture is simple, but is pretty. It is simple because there isnt too many things in the picture, it is one subject and nothing else.
   
4. Describe one thing you did successfully in your project. I think that something I did, that was the best thing in my project, was the picture, I liked this picture a lot, because is one of those pictures where you feel really proud of yourself. I think that it is one of the best pictures Ive ever taken, I take pictures oftenly, but this one is the kind of picture I dont take, so, I felt really good, when i saw the result of it.
   
5. If you could change one thing about your project, what would you change? I think that I would change the story of the picture, because I really didn't like it, I think that it could have been better, because I didn't know what to write, so I wrote it like in five minutes, and I really think that I could have improved it, and that I could have made a better story for it.
   

violent video gams and toys

Violent Video Games and Toys

I think that violent video games and toys are teaching kids that violence is just a game. I kind of agree and disagree that banning the video games and toys is right, but at the same time is not. I think that it is right, because when little kids see their older brothers playing those kinds of video games, they think it is right to do those things. On the other hand banning these toys can be bad, because modern day kids –especially boys- like to play games such as paintball, I personally don’t find this game so bad, because you are just shooting paint at each other, and it looks fun. But at the same time it is actually kind of violent, and it is telling kids that even throwing paint at each other it is right. Kids since they are born are taught to respect and to treat each other as they would want to be treated, and by playing this kind of games their parents are just telling them the contrary and that is just wrong.

There is a lot of violence going on in the world, and when little kids are playing games such as the ones that you need hit someone so you can take their car, they are going to learn that violence is correct and that there is nothing wrong with hitting people.

There is just one problem, people actually think and expect that if they have a daughter the girl needs to be all girly and the boy needs to be really boyish, this is a problem, because when the toys companies design toys they design toys such as Barbies and Pollies for girls and little soldiers and cars for boys. And I think t that it is right to have different types of toys for boys and girls. But parents cannot expect kids to be nonviolent when they only like to play violent games, and they give them the game as Christmas presents.

I think that parents who block the violent TV channels to their kids are dumb, because kids need to know what is right and what is wrong. For example, when I was little my mom didn’t let me see the movie Troy, and other really violent movies, but as time passed, she started letting me see more, and more movies, because I grew older, but I when I see those violent movies, I don’t start saying “cool” or things like that when people die. But kids who were introduced to violent games since they were really little and play violent games daily always say “cool” when someone dies.

In conclusion I think that banning them would be wrong because boys would not have fun playing with girl toys, but I can say that the toy companies could produce less violent games, so parents don’t complain.
