P4.1- I have been involved in identifying hazards in my setting, such as in the water play area, the children accidently spilling water on the floor from splashing the water out of the water bowl and from trying to experiment with pouring and filling bottles. Therefore, because this happened I proceeded to use in initiative and clean up the spillage on the floor. The procedure I had took in this situation was that I asked the children to step away from the puddle on the floor and I informed one other staff about what I had seen and asked if they can keep an eye on children while I went to go and get a mop or a towel to clean up the spilt area. I then went to collect the appropriate facilities and clean up the wet area so the children would not slip over and hurt themselves. Once I had cleaned it all up I changed the clothes of a child, as they was wet from playing in the water and it hen put a dry towel on the floor so if there is another spillage, the towel will keep it fairly dry.…

It has been estimated that over 4,000 First Nation’s had taken the initiative to serve in the second world war. This is an extraordinary discovery due to the fact that they received very few civil rights in the twentieth century for their heritage. They overcame many barriers to help enlist in the war such as cultural and language barriers that separated them from the other european troops. By overcoming them they produced a new found recognition that would express their sacrifice and achievements to eventually advance their First Nation rights.…

There is a feeling you get when you daydream. You vision get hazy. Your mind takes you places where only you can see. I imagine the gap between daydream and reality is lot like the gap between the realities of a soldier in the middle of a blood soaked war, and the shell shock that soon follows a horrific display. Your mind just stops working. It takes you somewhere comforting; away from the boring class, or the terrors of war. It is an escape mechanism that can happen in an instant. Before you are even aware, someone snaps their fingers, says the magic words, and brings you back to your star crossed reality.…

One of the two struggles was centered on the naval and colonial conflict between Britain and its enemies, France and Spain; the second, on the conflict between Frederick II (the Great) of Prussia and his opponents: Austria, France, Russia, and Sweden.…
In All Quiet on the Western Front, different attitudes are betrayed from different people. Attitudes that come from various walks of life. When someone lives in a certain area and is surrounded by certain things, I believe it forms your opinion about life and people. That attitude can either make you or break you. War is definitely an example of a situation that can change your thoughts, actions, and emotions.…

After reading the novel there were many things about my feelings towards war. Before reading the novel I always knew that war was a hard thing on a person, emotionally and physically. During the read it really showed me that what soldiers go through is really rough, from being in the war but even when returning home. One of the things that stuck out to me is how homesick soldiers get while fighting. While fighting the thought of killing humans, but yet also get yourself killed if you do one thing wrong or make a wrong step somewhere. "I will come back again" chapter 10 page #258 This Is a quote that sticks out to me in this situation. Because it just shows how hard the wars on them and how much they wanted to come back home, also how they…

War is good and bad, beneficial and pointless, but above all other things, immensely inhumane. Man created war, and with our controversial human nature egged it on. “All Quiet on the Western Front” by Erich Maria Remarque is a war novel that shows the war experience and how war changes people. During the time spent at the front and at rest the soldier is turned from human to inhumane. They are taken away from the normal human emotion and placed into a state of being more animalistic and superhuman.…
I believe these are confusing times in our history. My family lives in the south and we have a farm where we raise cotton and other crops that we sell to other families and businesses. This is how my family makes a living, off the land. Lately, I have been hearing a lot about the issues that our country is dealing with and have decided to write down my thoughts.…
In my opinion, using the bomb on Japan was a “smart” choice. Even though it killed thousands and thousands of people, it stopped the war! If we hadn't bombed Japan the war would have continued, resulting in many young American lives lost. If you think about it this way, the atomic bomb would have eventually been used on someone, so why not Japan? I don't want to be harsh and say they deserved it but they were pretty guilty of doing horrible things to the places they invaded. So yes, the bombing was definitely necessary to do in order to put an end to it all.…
