civics 
          
           I will be writing a paragraph for each of my personal opinions for 8 subjects.All of those subjects are different but are all related to civics and politics. You may notice that I have a strong and acertive opinion in some parts more then others.

           On the topic of abortion I am more conservative and also more in the center.I personally am against abortion but I think that women should be able to do what they want with their body because it is their body. I also think that if that woman is ready for unprotected sex they should know there are consequences in many more then one. Every woman most likely has a good reason for her choice in doing such a thing.Some choices and reasons are different than others but all the same their choices have been made and there's not much you can do change it.

          I think that I'm liberal when it come to gun control because I don't like guns,at all. I'm pretty sure that the world would not stop if all the guns in the world disappeared.Gun control is a very important thing in my eyes, because if there were no gun control the crime rate would sky rocket. I don't care where you live with no gun control there would be no safe place in the world.

        Health care is a very important part of every day life. I don't think that it is right to do what the conservatives are trying to do by only making it avalible to the rich and or wealthy. Where would that put us, the people who have to work or people that can't work for a living? I agree one hundred percent with the liberal's for universal health care for any and all that might need it ever.

        When it comes to the death penalty I would say that I do agree with it to a certain level. I would say that if a person kills someone in cold blood and has no remorse that the government should have no remorse for that bastard. But if one kills by accident or because of mental illness the government should take that into consideration be for the decision is made on what to do.

        The environment is the most important matter in the world,because it is the world.I wish that people would wake up and see that! Human beings were ment to help the planet not destroy it and so far all my eyes see destruction. What the hell is wrong with people? I believe that we're destroying the wourld for something as stuped as money,andif there is no world then there is NO money. People are very greedy things but we need to snap out of it because the world is the one paying for it all.

       We need to have barrier between religion and government. I think that more people would die because of all the different religions in our country. We already know that we all can't just get along from our past expirence with religion.The people with no religion would be the most upset, like me. I would be feurios if I was being put in religion because I don't have a religion.The government and the religions of our country should be separate now and forever. Our world would be a happier place because of it.

       Gay Marriage is a great thing because like why not i mean just saying "no you can't get married" isn't going to change any thing you know. Their still going to be gay so what,I am who I am and they are who they are let it be. Who do people think they are telling people how they have to live there life its their life they only get one let them live it the way they want what ever makes them happy.

       Drug laws would be taken more serious if they were more flexible. I don't do drugs but I do support them. I think that it should be like alcohol because by the time your a certain age your mature enough to know the hell your doing and what your putting in it.You should know the consequences in doing certain drugs by that age.It should be a personal decision when one comes of age.

        Those were just a few of my opinions on the topic of civics and politics.So as you can tell I do have a strong opinion. I do get very frustrated about politics because it seems the people of the world are so ignirant. I am now done with my opinionated paper thank you for not listening.  

                        Leadership:Prom

In leadership i believe and have been told i was a big part of the set up of the Yampah Mountain high School Prom of 2011. The leadership class is a program for all students created to build a stronger community at Yampah between teachers and students. For the most part i would say that it absolutely is true and effective. i believe that in trusting the students with responsibility it teaches them that in life there will always be responsibility and to take charge because it is a blessing. Making prom was a big responsibility but it was one of the most fun and transforming things i have ever done in my life and i am grateful that i got the chance to be a part of it.

Geography
Babies

Babies are raised in all different types of environments around the world. In the movie “Babies”, the similarities and the differences in raising babies around the world are displayed. Babies from Japan, Mongolia, Namibia, and the US are similar and different in many ways. Some of the similarities include; how the babies were stimulated by their surroundings, all the babies had a strong bond with their mothers, and how the children in how of the different cultures from around the world had interaction with animals. The babies were all interested in the animals’ cats, goats, dogs, and bulls are some of the animals’ that were exhibited in this movie from those cultures.

            The baby in Namibia had constant interaction with all different kinds of animals. The baby from Japan only had interaction with a cat. In the US the baby had the same kind of interaction as the baby in Japan with a single animal a cat. The baby from Mongolia was the same as the baby in Namibia and had almost constant contact with different kinds of animals.

The babies in all four places were stimulated by their surroundings. Some babies had toys and some didn’t, they only had what they could find or were given. Either way, whether they had high tech toys or a rock they were interested in what it was.

All of the babies had a strong bond with their mothers. Once again they had some differences but that is expected because they are from different cultures from around the world. In all cultures it was very apparent that they had a strong bond with them. Like in Namibia the baby was constantly with the mother and in Mongolia the baby was left alone a lot but when he was not he was with his mom.  

There were also some differences with the babies and how they were raised. Some had siblings some had more father interaction then others. There were also differences in how they were transported. Both the babies from Mongolia and Namibia had siblings and the babies from the US and Japan had more father interaction than the others. Also, the babies all had different ways of being transported. The baby in Mongolia was transported by motorcycle and the baby from Namibia walked to where they were going. The baby from Japan was transported by bus and subway. The baby from the US was transported by car and bike.

As you can tell from what I’ve stated there are many similarities and differences in how the babies were raised. No matter what culture or location we all know that babies will be “BABIES”.
