Do Now monday 12, 2010

"Be the change you wish to see in the world."

What does this mean to me? This means to me that everything that you do has an opposite and equal reaction. Now I know I got a little scientifically there put it applies to peoples lives far beyond the science way. But it means that if you wish to see better neighborhoods a better country or even a better life for yourself then you need to make that change happen for yourself. If you wish to see better neighborhoods then instead of complaining that you have a dirty neighborhood go out and clean it. Paint the houses, plant flowers do something positive. If you wish to see a better country go out and vote for people that are going to create good change or run you. If you want a better life be a better person and comply with your needs. Everything that you do affects you and everyone on a bigger scale. Be the best that you wish to see everywhere because by breathing you make an impact on the lives of others. So make it a positive one.

Quotes

When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it?

This quote is from Eleanor Roosevelt

This impacts the statement because Eleanor Roosevelt was a woman of great compassion and understanding of everyone. So the fact that she said this does not surprise me in the least. The fact that a person that loves everyone said that makes me think about this in a better like.

Bullying

i think that the school needs to have better counseling. The fact that the school should have cameras to see the this stuff happened and be closer on students. like the ones who like to fight are prime subjects for bullying the fact is some people cant handle when people talk about. I think that this is a very sad thing and i think that students could have said something to the teachers.

anger

• 3 things that make me angry are ignorant people, being called out and not listened to when I've been calling you for a minute and then you pick someone else that just called out. and being put in something that just explodes into something stupid.

• 3 inappropriate responses to anger are fighting, cursing, and yelling

• 3 appropriate responses to anger are telling the way you feel in an appropriate language, calming yourself down, or walking away from the situation.

youth tolerance

what is tolerance?
tolerance to me is the acceptance of people and there ways.

5 ways we can promote tolerance and respect of diversity in the school and community is by making it so that people don't practice there religion in school because if no one practices there religion no on can be judged based on there religion. 2nd there be in history classes discussions about multiple cultures at the same time. 3rd by creating multiple language courses so that people can feel their own cultures expressed in their school environment. 4th by creating discussion groups were people talk about the feelings and their cultures and encouraging them to make friends. and finally a ballot box were people talk about how to improve tolerance and how they are feeling.

Health Care

The senate has voted and we have lift off. thats right everyone it has finnally happned now all of us have health care. the senate voted yesterday and almost all democrats except 34 voed for the bill. the final vote was 219 to 210 with not a simple republican voting for the bill now to me thats sad. The health care has been said that it will have the same effect that social security had on us. But in 2014 we will start to experience the bill in action. anyway it is a dream come true to most american, well does that can afford it.
