Evolution and Religion

The scopes trial was in 1925 and was all about a man by the name of John Scopes, a biology teacher who was teaching his students the theory of evolution which back then was not allowed to be done. Unfortunately Scopes was found guilty. Back then religion was aloud to be taught and not evolution and now a days its the opposite. In my opinion it does not really matter to me what is taught in schools whether it religion or evolution, my beliefs are strong i will not be influenced by a teachers opinions or a students, i will respect there opinions but my beliefs will not be changed because of another person. Some people may feel the same way or different they may think evolution should be taught or Religion , if you were a strong believer in either of those it should not matter and others people opinions should not influence your own.

Crime presentaion

Prior to our group work and group presentations in class  i had no idea about some of the well known criminals back then, i have only heard of Bonnie and Clyde but did not know much about them. I learned alot of interesting facts i didnt know before, like their early child hood all the crimes they comitted from teen to adult, i had no idea or ever even thought all these criminals were significant to history, but in fact they were and all of the groups came up with great reasons for it.

The Tone

The U.S was trying to pose as a threat to germany and trying to seem powerful, trying to intimidate germany. The U.S probabley thought that they had an advantage over germany and more power they wanted to take advantage or were planning on it.  Germany felt as if the U.S were to over powering and overstepped the boundries. They had put there nose where it didnt belong and had started something that could have been avoided. Germany had the true power and played the part. The U.S as said wanted to pose a threat ro Germany when they had no place in this.

Bombs

if my team and I found a place where bomb are being made and we had six prisoners I would torture them all. If we are in desperate need in finding the other location where there are bombs being made I would torture them until we got the answers we were looking for. I would kill one by one until one spits out the truth. Although it may take lives it can save many.

wikileaks

Dear Editor in cheif,

Wiki-leaks is a good non profitable organization in which we the public hear the truth. I believe we should all hear the truth of everything that goes on. Not only in the United States, but all over. We should not hide the negatives of our country. History is based on what made our country number “1”. But we do not like to hear about our flaws. Wiki-leaks gives us the opportunity to hear the things that are not liked. Yes it may cause a big disturbance between countries but we will learn to get around it.These documents are kept for a reason. To be shown to the public. People see it as stealing from the government and posting it to others dislike. I like the idea of the anonymous posting. The word is put out there and will cause no problem for those who want the public to know. Who would not want to know the flaws of our country? Not only ours but others? The anonymous postings will leave the bloggers out of sight and safe from the public. We may have the opportunity to find out what is going to happen towards the near future. So that we are prepared for the change coming. These documents are causing many drawbacks, also controversy all over. Although having the right to see the hidden documents, it can be a negative as well. For example, releasing these documents can cause war. Other countries may disagree with the publishing of the documents and may want to call for war. Some people may want to get angry and go against the government for hiding these documents for such a long time. Also, for hiding them in the first place. IF the government did not want any of these important documents being published anywhere they should keep track of where they are kept and who has access to them that might be the one publishing it. Many Of us have different views but in my opinion wiki leaks has both its pros and cons.
