4 paragraphs about zakaria 's article the rise of the rest

He provides examples that the rest of the world is rising over than America. The examples are that the largest passenger plane is in Europe, Beijing has the biggest trading company, the largest movie industry is in Macao, most of the world's rich people aren't American, and the fact that America is in a endless war in Iraq, and our economy is bad.

there is positives of the world rising out of poverty. these positives are that other countries economy is improving, there have been less wars in the other parts of the word,the military has a higher budget, and population is growing.

Globalization is how the globe is affected by something such as the economy. the way it can negatively affect America's economy is prices are rising and people are losing money. The way it can positively affect America's economy is that companies are making more money with the rising prices.

I do like his essay. My opinions about is that i am surprised that the other countries economy are doing better. i didn't know that other countries are doing better economically. I know our economy is doing bad by the rising gas prices. I thought our companies were doing better. I think we should change this.

Preparation for next service learning

TO PREPARE FOR THE NEXT SERVICE LEARNING MEETING I WILL SIGN UP FOR THE DARFUR WEBSITE

REFLECTION of thursday service learning

SERVICE LEARNING WAS GOOD WE WATCHED A LITTLE BIT OF THE MOVIE ABOUT DARFUR. WE TALKED ABOUT WHAT WE SUPPOSED TO SOMEONE IS SUPPOSED TO WRITE A ARTICLE AND I HAVE NOTHING TO DO. WE TALKED ABOUT HAVING A PRESENTATION BY READING THE ARTICLE, SHOWING A VIDEO, ETC.

SERVICE LEARNING

I HAVE LEARNED A LT ABOUT THE GENOCIDE IN DARFUR. I LEARNED THAT AT LEAST 2.5 MILLION PEOPLE ARE REFUGEES AND THAT THE JANJAWEED COMES AND KILLS THE MEN AND RAPE THE WOMEN, THIS ALL STARTED IN 2003 AND THE U N ISN'T HELPING, SO FAR THERE IS OVER THE DEATH TOLL IS 50% AND IS STILL RISING, AND THERE IS OVER 100 DEATHS A DAY.

to prepare for the next service learning meeting i will research ways we can send money to the refugees and ways we can connect to the other groups that are helping in darfur.

reflect on friday service learning

on friday we discussed the information we found and the things that some of us did such as someone found a timeline of darfur and someone found a brochure. we watched a movie on darfur but we only watched a few minutes of it.

extra credit super delegates

Super delegates are a political party leader or a elected official who attends a presidential primary or caucus that may or may not be have made a commitment to vote for a candidate. The pros of super delegates are they are mostly for democrats, for democrats they can help determine the nominee. The cons of super delegates are that they can determine the winner. So I think it is important to have a lot of super delegates.

Darfur information

I have been researching. Some information is Darfur has over 100 deaths a day, it happened in 2003, since 2003 there has been over 400,000 deaths, women get murdered and raped and men get murdered everyday, this has to do with muslims and arabs, and the Un isn't helping they go there and can't do anything, and most people there have to unfortunately sleep in tents and I think that this is terrible and should be stopped.

preparation for friday service learning

The challenge I still face is to prepare for the next service learning meeting i will research contacts we could send our information to, or that could help, and i will get more research about Darfur.

reflection of thursday service learning

During the meeting we talked about what we are going to do. i thought we were successful by discussing what we are going to do and we said we would sell merchandise and fundraisers such as a walkathon. I don't know exactly how the money would go to Darfur. I still don't like the amount of time we have.
