I was absent today.
Notes: (Thank You Lexi!)
Africa Project
- Slide Show- short bullets, lots of pictures,
- Topics- Parties involved, what happened/ what is happening, why is it happening, How did the International Community get involved (UN, US, African Union, NATO), Current situation
- Darfur in Sudan- Over the last ten years a big genocide happened in Sudan, deals with race/religion, Black African people and Sudan Government
North Korea
- North Korea is willing to talk to us about the issues going on. They want us to pull out of South Korea where we have been there for years.
Ricin Scare
- There were a couple of letters that were sent to a senator and President Obama with Ricin on the . Ricin is a poison that will kill you when you touch it. Ricin comes from the Caster Bean and if you inhale of ingest it is lethal. Something like this also happened after 9/11, but they don't think it is related to the Boston Marathon Bombings.
Explosion in Texas
- More the 160 injuries happened at a fertalizer plant that exploded. People said that is like a Nuclear Bomb
Failed States
- · Failed states happen by Civil Wars, over-throughing the government,
- · Geography can my bad for you, If you leave in a country that is neighboring a country in war then refugees come over and can destroy your country.
- · If you only have one resource than that can cause problems too. Because if you own the resource then you have people that want to control it and they don’t want to give up that control.
- · When European countries left Africa they just drew the borders where ever they wanted. They didn’t put much thought into it. That caused a lot of problems
