We were given assigned blog topics based off of Afghanistan. I was assigned 9-11 and why it happened. other people were assigned things like the taliban organization and the history of Afghanistan and things like that. Mr. Bruns had a conversation on plagerizing assigned blogs. i know i didn't plagerize, so i'm pretty sure that doesn't apply to me.
we then got back into blog discussions starting with Syria.
The emergency law have taken away people's rights, and the citizens are not being treated fairly at all. they are being imprisoned for no reason, beaten, had their homes taken away, and the government is not giving the people the rights they deserve. Unless some of the people were born before 1963, the people have had no rights their whole life.
Next topic: Iran
Neemat didn't really do anything for her blog, but Mr. Bruns helped out with that. he started talking about this dude named Ahmadinejad, and he said that more research should be done on the Holocaust, saying somewhat that the Holocaust didn't exist. He says that we are simply "using nuclear weapons for peaceful purposes, like energy". I highly doubt those are his intentions. but iran is saying that's what they are doing, even though that may not be accurate. people are protesting corruption, and mostly Ahmadinejad's government. We looked at pictures of Ayatollah Khomeini . He is the one who actually runs the day to day business of Iran. Ahmadinejad is mostly just a spokeperson for Iran. People think that Ayatollah Khomeini is a hypocryte, and he does kinda sound like it with what he's done.
Next topic: Iraq
the unemployment rate is 15.3%. that is less than twice what the U.S. rate is now, but we were right up there with them. I find it absolutely terrible that that many people are jobless. anyway, iraq is basically struggling from the terrorist groups that still reside in Iraq.
Next topic: Lebanon
Their protests might start a civil war. the hezbollah group is the terrorist group that frightens many people. the protests are about high unemployment rate, to where cars are being burned and stuff like that.
Next topic: Palestinian Territories
When World War 1 was over Palestin was no longer Palestin-it became Israel. It is a displaced country.....and it's time for us to go. the bell is going to ring in a minute, so....bye!!
