The different types of government:
Monarchy- King and queen rule the country and follow the constitution.
Direct Democracy- People make the decisions instead of represenatives.
Communism- Leader rules the country and treats everyone equal.
Absolute Monarchy- King and queen rule the country and have complete control over the people.
Represenative Democracy- People vote for represenatives to make the decisions.
Dictatorship- One leader rules the entire country.
Anarchy- No government which means they have no laws.
Socialism- Government owns the bussinesses instead of the people.
Capitalism- People own their own bussinesses and government depends on their earnings.
Speaking of governments we have two main political parties in the United States, they are Democrats, and Republicans.
Democrats look more into the constitution when making decisions while Republicans base their opinion more on religion. Below are some of the views between the two parties.
Flag burning- Republicans are against it because it is a symbol of our nation. Democrats are back and forth because they dont think you should burn the flag but they believe in freedom of expression.
Gun Control- Republicans are for it because they beleive we should have the right to bear arms. Democrats are more against people having guns.
Minimum Wage- Republicans are aginst it beccause they claim that it hurts bussinesses if they raise the wage. Democrats are for it because they believe it helps out the people of the lower class.
Death Penalty- Republicans are for because they think it is effective because people will think twice before doing something. Democrats are against it and people who are inncoent sometimes could get it, so they dont think it is fair.
Gay Rights- Republicans are against it because they believe in the bible which states marriage should be between a male and female. Democrats are for it because they say that marriage and gay rights are civil rights.
Moving on to Global Warming, Overpopulation, and Globalization.
Global Warming- The change of temperature and weather patterns over a period of time.
Cause: Scientist claim the cause could be 90%-99 humans fault.
Effects: Stronger hurricanes, and countries going into drought, sea levels rising, and food shortage and heat waves.
Overpopulation- When there is to many people or animals to support with supplies they need.
Cause: Decline in death rate, rise in birth rate, lack of family planning and eduactaion, and lastly migration.
Effects: Health problems, lack of food, urban areas expanding, fossil fuels decreasing, and deforestation.
Globalization- Countries coming closer together with the use of technology. People dont have to be in the same country to work for the bussiness, they can be across the world and still do the work they need to.

Afghanistan: They attacked us in 2001 known as 9/11 so we sent troops in to try to eliminate terrorist groups.
Darfur: There is a war going on because they feel Arabs are being favored, and all darfurian people are either trying to be killed or driven off their land by the Sudan government and Janjaweed because the desert is expanding and they are running out of land.
