Today in CWI, we finished talking about our assigned blogs. Bri and Sky told us about their blog topics from last week because they were gone. They did it on Taliban. Mr. Bruns asked Bri the questions he will ask us for the next oral test, and she was able to answer all of them correctly. He put the number 9,723.69 which is the DOW jones stock market as of right now. When it hits 10,000 Mr. Bruns is going to bring donuts bananas for all of us. He is celebrating because he will get his money back that he lost last year. We did more oral tests today during class and we almost finished. We have one more to do tomorrow before we start our debate. Speaking of, I finished researching the topics for the debate. I'm glad that for the debate we don't have to know all the topics off the top of our heads and we get to look at the computers to hlep guide us.I learned about all of the topics for the debate tomorrow.-abortion: Democrats believe that abortion should be legal. They think that women should have the rights to their own bodies. Prochoice.-flag burning: Some of the Democrats think that it should be banned becasue of the powerful symbol. While others think that it affects freedom of expression or free speech.-gun control: Democrats think that we need more gun regulations and restrictions. This means that only certain people can have certain types of guns and must have reasons.-environmental laws: Democrats are usually more enviromentally considerate compared to the Republicans. For example the Democrats don't think that we should drill for oil in Alaksa. They are concerned that it will have negative impact on the environment.-immigration: The Democrats think that we cannot continue to allow people enter the United States undetected, undocumented, and unchecked. They believe that we should secure our borders.-minimum wage: Democrats support what the minimum wage is or having the minimum wage be higher.-health care: Democrats believe that everyone should be able to have affordable healthcare.-taxes: They believe that the wealthy should have to pay higher taxes and the middle class should pay the same as always.-US role in the world--Iraq: Democrats believe that the war in Iraq should come to a responsible end which means that the sooner we leave Iraq the more quickly Iraq will become stable.-Affirmative action law - Democrats supports it. It says that race or whatever else doesn't matter. People shouldn't discrimate based on those things.-Death penalty - democrats are no longer supporting the death penalty. They switched to against it in 2005. They don't think any crime is bad enough for death.-Gay Marriage - Democrats are for gay marriage. They think that if you love someone, they should have the right to marry them.-Military spending - Democrats are against military spending. They think that we are spending too much money on our military services and think we should cut back. Obama wishes to cut it by 25%.-US Role in the World - Afghanistan - They believe we should be focusing more on Afghanistan instead of Iraq. They think we should send more troops to Afghanistan. They also believe that if we win the war in Afghanistan, the war will come to a complete end.-US Role in the United Nations - Democrats believe that we should have the United Nations to help solve the world's problems.
