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.

go blogging ! :D

Weekly Article Topic:
Discuss why you agree or disagree with the blogging assessment system used in this course. Your opinion will not affect your grade. You will be assessed on how you formulate your argument.

I agree with the blogging assessments because for one , its not something that makes me stressed out as to other assignments that i get on a daily bases. Like math for example , that class takes me forever to finish one problem and i have 10 problems to do usually . then on top of that i have other homework i have to do like English homework. psych reading, and chemistry. and with blogging i don't have to worry about getting it done right away because i have till Friday to complete it. Blogging also i feel is a fun way to learn and write down your answers without feeling annoyed by other people in your class wanting to get the answers from you. Basically when your blogging you have to blog alone its an independent thing , which i like because i can focus more and understand what I'm doing. As to when your in the classroom or just in your room reading pages and having to answer questions you get easily distracted by people and by things. when reading a boring page on history i tend to loose focus and do something else but when your blogging the information you learn about isn't that long to read and they actually get to the point of why what your reading is important.

text books tend to be very boring to read and sometimes there message that they are trying to reveal gets confusing.  Also we are in the 21 century why not blog? why not take advantage of the technology we have now and days. i think that people will tend to do their homework more often if its like blogging because its online and we as students that are teenagers are always online and have access to computers and the Internet no matter where you are. so it would be more convenient to do things such as blogging for us. I remember when it was the first day and you told us we weren't going to have textbooks and majority of our work was going to be on the computer ,i was kind of excited and at the same time scared in a way because i was so used to doing work with a text book rather than computer. but then the first blogging assignment i did i thought it was great because it showed me that learning doesn't have to be boring , it can be interesting for once .

:) six word story was the best!

Which blogging topic was your favorite from first quarter?
my favorite blog was the six word story because i liked how i could be creative with it .

from paper to pen to ---> blogging -_-

Was your learning different when blogging, as compared to writing just pen and paper? Explain.
My learning experience was probably better i would have to say. Because with blogging i dont feel so rushed as i do in class sometimes, and i can actually read my what i type . As to sometimes when im doing my work my penminship tends to be a little sloppy. With paper and pen its boring doing assignment like that , you just write by hand and sometimes not even learn anything. But blogging i feel you in away get to be free and you can always check if you have mispelled words.
