CALL Of Duty (weekly article)

Games such as Call of Duty seem to give the wrong impression of what it really is to be in war. For  one this game and many other games such as these seem to make war fun and interesting. The better you play the more levels you get to . sure this game seems like your in war but its just a game. Many people take this game serious and think because they know how to do many things in this game and play with different guns that their considered a war expert , when in reality they aren't. Call of Duty is just a game it isn't reality. So why should we promote games such as these to our society and give them the wrong image on what its like to be in war. Just because you might be the best C.O.D player ever does not mean you have experience in real war that are fought today. People don't take into consideration that this game does not show half of the things you see in war today. The creators of this game make there own ideal image of what war is like. the thing is at the end of the game the players end up not loosing anything , when in the real world you can loose everything. we can always see images of peoples heads blowing off but never feel the emotions a real solider will shooting off someones head. People in reality end up going crazy after coming out of the war , having to kill people and shoot the heads off that can really mess someone up. while the player just sits at home disappointed because he missed a shot. in war you cant just reset the button because you lost or pause it to text someone its real life and its coming at you wither your ready or not.War isn't a game its life and sad to say but games such as these give us the impression that war is a game it is not life.

Dogfight

What might have been going through that pilot's mind was how first to fly the plane and shoot at the same time. Most likely he would be coming up with stategies on what certian points to hit the other plane and how to get a good aim without crashing. worried about the plane crashing and him dying and letting the enemy win. It seems scaring you can die in a matter of seconds .

Love and Kisses to Pat from her George

To have just one way to communicate "the letter" would be horrible. What can a letter do ? yea, sure you get to see how their doing but that's only what every month? the thing is you only get to read what their going through and how their doing , but your never an eye witness yourself. It must be frustrating not to be able to see pictures on what your missing because your so far away. you don't get to touch that person , nor can you speak to them . How does someone Know if someone is truly doing well from a letter. you can only hope that their doing well and what they say is true. What about the troops who had families back then? IT must of been really hard for them to miss out on their child's life and not be able to watch them grow.

imperialism (sydney white )

Sydney white is about a young lady who is going to be a freshman in college and wants to be in what once was her mother’s sorority, the Kappa Phi.  But it isn't that easy she soon discovers when she tries to be a part of the Kappa Phi. Sadly it is not what it used to be nor does it stand for what it did before. Now for some reason everyone is terrified of them and no one will stand up for themselves. Kappa Phi ends up being the ring master that puts everyone into place no one even attempt to step out of line because they’re afraid of what they'd do to them. This can relate to imperialism because imperialism is a stronger nation that oppresses a weaker one. And the imperialist is Rachel the young woman who is the president of Kappa Phi who no one dares to step up to her except Sydney White. She decides that she’s had enough of how Rachel keeps treating people and getting things her way. Rachel basically leads the other sororities without her even paying attention to it. People don't have options and nor do they state their own opinion. She’s so powerful that not even the sisters of this sorority will speak up to her. Neither do other groups, students and people that have been in that college longer than her. She knows how to manipulate many students easily and get things done without even basically raising a finger. When she feels that someone is trying to be more popular than her or people aren't starting to like her she starts to go crazy and sabotages that person’s life to gladly see them fail. Which is like an imperialist country they don't want anyone else to have power. They want to be in charge and have people followed them at all times. If a country tries to take their power or place in high power the nation usually does something to stop it. No nation or person wants to feel powerless so they do anything that's possible to maintain the higher ranking status. she tend to be greedy and most of the time self centered and that's what the majority of powerful people do and nations. they do things to make them selves look good not really for the benefit of the others. Rather to show off and say look what id did kind of  thing.

five hundred lives were lost for every mile 55miles = 25,000 lives

Dear journal,

Today well, its like any other day out here its horriable. people die from life to right. drop dead in a matter of one day. Malaria, Yellow Fever, dysentery, typhoid, dengue are all over there air waiting to take its next victim. i know my chances are very slim to live now and im scared that im going to be the next tommorow to die. just today two friends of mine died , one from being crushed under a mud slide and the other being  suffercated due to  noxious gases . tomorrow i have to unfortunatley be the person to transport the thousands of fifty pound boxes of dynamite on my head ,  and go along with the men who drilled the charge holes into the side of rocky precipices . many people have died from doing this and i am terrified of being next.

No more SOA!

. Should the United States be able to operate such an organization and train people in the practice of the coup d'etat? Use the facts from the SOA site to help you formulate your argument. Blog about it.

I strongly disagree with  the United States getting  involved with any country and trying to make people go against there own country. for one i understand that the U.S. is trying to help out the spanish countries but in all honesty their not. The United states is just making everything worse . For one how are you going to train any spanish person who wants to join the School Of Americas without even knowning their true intentions. how stupid is that. Basically what the United States is doing is just training spanish countries from the knowledge that we know and sharing our secrets with them so they can go against their own country and eventually theres a possibilty they can attack us. an example of people from a spanish country that used there tranning from the SOA for the wrong reason was in Colombia where there was a big massacre where the murders are believed to people soldiers who were trained by the SOA. they killed innocent people! is that what the United States wants to help train people to go back to their country and massacre innocent people?


charlie and the chocolate factory

In the movie Charlie in the Chocolate Factory your Bourgeois group ends up being the Umpa Lumpas who made the chocolate and sweets, tested out new ideas and basically did everything. And the person in power is Willy Wonka who without his Umpa lumpas his Chocolate Factory would have failed. Since there wouldn’t have been people to help make his chocolate and test out his new ideas. For the Proletarians those things in the movie is basically the wonka bars golden ticket contest , that made every kid around the world want to purchase a wonka bar in return of hopefully winning the golden ticket and being able to go inside Willy Wonka's chocolate Factory. And because of the many kids that got their parents to purchase that candy for them, Wonka and his factory where benefiting from all the money they were getting in return. In addition the Umpa Lumpas had to produce ridiculous amounts of Wonka bars to satisfy their costumer's needs.
